CAMI is part of the FAA’s Office of Aerospace Medicine (OAM) . As an integral part of the OAM mission, CAMI has several responsibilities. One responsibility tasked to CAMI’s Aerospace Medical Education Division is to assure safety and promote aviation excellence through aeromedical education. To help ensure that this mission becomes reality, the Aerospace Medical Education Division, through the Airman Education Programs, established a one day post-crash survival course.  \nThis course is designed as an introduction to survival, providing the basic knowledge and skills for coping with various survival situations and environments. If your desire is to participate in a more extensive course than ours you will find many highly qualified alternatives, quite possibly in your local area.  \nBecause no two survival episodes are identical, there is no \"PAT\"answer to any one-survival question. Your instructors have extensive background and training, and have conducted basic survival training for the military. If you have any questions on survival, please ask. If we don't have the answer, we will find one for you.  \nUpon completion, you will have an opportunity to critique the course. Please take the opportunity to provide us with your thoughts concerning the course, instructors, training aids. This will be your best opportunity to express your opinion on how we might improve this course.  \nEnjoy the course.  \nNOTES  \nContact Information  \nFAA, Civil Aerospace Medical Institute Airman Education Programs, AAM-400  \nP.O.

However, ask yourself the following question; how serious do I take the subject? The answers will vary from person to person, and from personality to personality. The chances of actually being thrust into a multi-day post-crash survival scenario are remote. Still, statistics prove that it can happen. If it happens to you, are you prepared to deal with the stressors associated with a postcrash environment? Before you can start dealing with first aid, or signaling, you must be able to deal with yourself mentally. This chapter will address the many mental stressors that can be involved in a post crash survival situation, and how you can deal with them successfully.  \nWhen preparing for a potential survival situation you must first admit to yourself that it can happen. Once you have taken this first step, you can then start preparing for an event that will hopefully never occur.  \nPreparing for an event that may never occur is not always easy. However, if you take the time to prepare yourself both mentally and physically, your chances of survival will increase dramatically.
