ALTITUDE (HYPOBARIC) CHAMBER FALCON

ETC's Altitude (Hypobaric) Chamber Falcon provides an environment where aircrew learn to recognize what their individual physiological responses are to a low oxygen environment and take corrective actions to reoxygenate themselves and other aircrew.

Exercises performed within the hypobaric (altitude) chamber can be inclusive of training for hypoxia, hyperventilation, mechanical gas expansion and pressure breathing, conditions which can occur during flight.

With an aircrew's survival depending on how well prepared they are to handle the various challenging conditions which may arise in flight, it is highly desirable that all aircrew spend time training in a hypobaric (altitude) chamber.

This ETC Altitude (Hypobaric) Chamber Falcon provides the capability to educate aircrew and demonstrate the challenges associated with rapid decompression (with and without protective equipment), the prevention of hyperventilation, and pressure breathing concerns.

ETC's Hypobaric (Altitude Chamber) Falcon, also provides a wide latitude of operation that supports research and controlled experimentation, in addition to standard training operations.
