The POST is designed to provide hands-on training in parachute descent and water entry procedures. This realistic hands-on training is designed to instill confidence and develop instinctive performance of the skills required in the event of bailout/ejection. All five have a planned refresh date in FY20/FY21.

The Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainer is used to train aircrew in helicopter rescue procedures.  It also familiarizes aircrew in the recommended procedures and safety precautions in a water rescue by one of several different rescue devices lowered from a hovering helicopter. The rotor downwash assembly, its associated piping, pump and controls are used to simulate helicopter downwash in actual rescue operations. The device is designed to be weatherproof and intended for permanent installation at the side of either an indoor or outdoor swimming pool.

The NITE Labs are located at 22 CONUS and OCONUS USN & USMC locations. It prepares aircrew for night flying with night vision devices and instructs in threat evaluation and mishap prevention.

The METS Trainer (also known as the Helo Dunker) is designed to provide a realistic environment in which trainees can practice procedures for evacuation from ditched aircraft. The METS training system is designed to provide hands-on training in underwater egress from multi-place aircraft. The training is general in nature, but the METS can be configured specific to aircraft type. The METS incorporates the use of exterior cutout exit panels as well as escape exit panels that replicate actual helicopter escape exits.
