Personnel Restraint System-
Post-crash Factors-
Which one of the safety features are essential for survival? - ✅✅Structural shell - prevent intrusion of
structure in the occupiable living space during a survivable crash.
Army aircraft offer protection from thermal injuries in what ways - ✅✅Crashworthy fuel systems, self
sealing fuel cells, break free self sealing fuel lines, and fire extinguishing systems
How does the landing gear and crashworthy seats effect vertical impacts - ✅✅Newer Army rotary

(MCS) consists of a crewmember vest, cooling liquid, and a compressor unit (mounted on the aircraft). It
has a quick disconnect umbilical that allows rapid egress in the event of an aircraft emergency
,What is the advantage of the nomex, kevlar composition of the Army Aircrew Combat Uniform (A2CU) -
✅✅-Superior flame resistance and durability
-Does NOT support combustion
