Course Description:

Air Assault Advanced is a specialized two-day tactical program focused on fast-rope insertion from a light transport helicopter onto a moving RIB boat over water. Building upon the foundational Air Assault course, this module develops the coordination, timing, and safety procedures required for precise team deployment onto a dynamic maritime platform. The training emphasizes synchronization between helicopter crew and boat crew, controlled descent under maritime conditions, deck safety management, and emergency response procedures during over-water operations.

Due to the operational environment, swimming ability is mandatory!

Contents:

DAY 1: Theory of helicopter insertion over water; rotary-wing safety procedures in maritime environments; communication protocols with helicopter and boat crews; deck safety principles and overboard emergency procedures; rope management and loss-of-contact drills; fast-rope refresher from elevated training platform; team organization and simulated coordination with moving vessel.

DAY 2: Safety review for helicopter and vessel operations; emergency drills during maritime insertion; practical fast-rope deployment from hovering helicopter onto a moving tactical boat; synchronization between aircrew and boat crew; tactical scenario exercises following deck insertion under over-water conditions.

Recommended equipment:

Comfortable tactical clothing or combat uniform and solid outdoor or military shoes (both adapted to the current weather and outdoor temperatures), belt, safety goggles, knee pads, body armor or plate carrier with pouches for magazines, helmet, rappelling harness, fast rope gloves or together heavy duty working and tactical gloves. If you do not have anything from mentioned gear, bring just only the clothing or duty gear based on your civilian or Law Enforcement/Military daily usage. No need to buy expensive tactical gear just for course purposes. This is not compulsory on this course. All participants will be equipped with a professional self-inflating life jacket provided by the organizer and will be secured by a professional rescue team on a safety boat operating in close formation behind the helicopter.
