| Introducing the PAST - Penetration Aircraft Skin Trainer:
Many airports today are purchasing high-reaching penetrating devices, but don't have realistic and effective means for boom operator training. Most airport fire departments must resort to the use of unsightly scrap aircraft, busses, cargo containers, water barrels, etc., for training.
|
 |
| This problem has been by resolved with the development of the PAST as an effective, affordable, and attractive training device. This product closely approximates the actual height, curvature, and resistance of an aircraft fuselage |
 |
| Professionals who have used the PAST have all expressed how valuable it is as a penetration training aid. Airport managers also appreciate the PAST because it is pleasing to the eye compared to previously used alternatives. Some observers have actually mistaken the PAST for a metal sculpture. |
 |
| Using the PAST, firefighters can experience realistic training. ARFF crews now have the opportunity to hone penetration skills and increase their skills.
PLUS, airport managers won't have to hide their penetration training from public view.
