Scandinavian Safety Training Centre AB, SSTCAB, is the first and so far only Swedish company to offer air safety training with a focus on UWE, underwater escape, for crews and passengers. In the last three years, the company has provided training for, among others, FFK, Voluntary Flying Corps, the Swedish Coast Guard’s RIB group and the Swedish Police Service’s National Task Force. A simpler single-seat simulator the “SWET chair” has been used so far but now we have taken the next step up.
The company has not only built its own training facility, which includes accommodation for course attendees, classrooms and a specially equipped training pool. The facility on the island of Kärringön on the Swedish West Coast now also includes the world’s first generation III HUET, the so-called MWH-6 simulator for Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET).
“Our vision doesn’t end with helicopter crews. Aircraft, boats and other craft can also be hit by the same problems, which is why we have introduced the concept ‘cabin underwater escape’. It is more in line with what we are doing here”, says Stefan Nilsson, the head of training at the company. Our most frequent customers are the voluntary pilots who carry out aerial marine surveillance for the Swedish Navy.
