When an aircrewman leaves his aircraft under emergency conditions, survival items provide a means of sustaining life. They also provide a means of attracting the attention of rescuers and, if necessary, of evading the enemy. Survival items are packed in life rafts and droppable kits or packed and carried by the aircrewman on his/her person. As a possible aircrewman, you need to know what survival items are available and how to use them. Some survival items have already been covered in the life raft and life preserver sections of this chapter. The following survival items are normally carried by the aircrewman on his/her person. 11-17 * BOARDING HANDLE 17 PLACES Anf1123 CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDER UPPER TUBE TOPPING-OFF VALVE 2 PLACES * INNER LIFELINE * OPERATING INSTRUCTION PATCH * HEAVING LINE TIED TO SURVIVOR HOLDING HANDLE * FLOOR SUPPORT TOPPING-OFF VALVE MORSE CODE PAINTER LINE (RAFTS STORED INBOARD ONLY) FLOOR SUPPORT TUBE LOWER TUBE TOPPING-OFF VALVE 2 PLACES BOARDING RAMP 2 PLACES ** SURVIVOR HOLDING HANDLE 22 PLACES LOWER TUBE UPPER TUBE * TYPICAL BOTH SIDES ** OLD MK 20'S DO NOT HAVE SURVIVORS HOLDING HANDLES, BUT A LIFE LINE.
