We are partnering with the Kodiak USCG Air Station for our December training. KISAR members will receive a lecture on Air Station operations, helo safety and operations inside and out, how KISAR is likely to interact with the aircraft, personnel deployment and recovery options, on scene comms, and other topics. The classroom session will be followed by a training in tending the trail line during basket hoists under a MH-60 outside.
