Practice signaling with the mirror on the ground is part
of a good training program for flight crews. Practice
will enhance rescue chances.
Water Bottle
The water bottle contains 4 ounces of drinking
water. Drink this water only to quench an extreme
desire for water. Refill the bottle with fresh water every
30 days.
NOTE:
When canned water is in the aircraft
survival kit, the water bottle may be omitted from the
survival kit.
