- Stay in your seat. Do not attempt to evacuate the aircraft until instructed to do so by the flight crew.
- Exit the aircraft calmly. Once instructed to evacuate, exit the aircraft in an orderly manner. Do not push or shove others.
- Inflate your life vest. Once you are out of the aircraft, inflate your life vest by pulling the cord.
- Stay afloat. Use your life vest to keep yourself afloat. Do not try to swim away from the aircraft.
- Locate a life raft. Look for a life raft and board it if possible. Life rafts are designed to keep you afloat and protected from the elements.
- Stay warm. Use blankets or towels to keep yourself warm. Hypothermia can be a serious risk in cold water.
After a Water Landing
Once you have evacuated the aircraft and are safely in the water, there are some important steps to follow to ensure your survival:
- Stay calm and stay together. It is important to stay calm and work together with others to survive.
- Ration supplies. If you have any food or water, ration it carefully. It is important to stay hydrated and nourished.
- Stay alert for rescue. Keep an eye out for rescue crews and signal for help if necessary. Use whistles, flares, or mirrors to attract attention.
- Avoid drinking seawater. Seawater can dehydrate you. If you must drink seawater, boil it first to kill any bacteria.
