Penetration Aircraft Skin Trainer (PAST Trainer)

Introduction

APS is pleased to introduce the PAST Trainer. Professionals who have used the PAST have all expressed how valuable it is as a penetration training aid. Airport managers also appreciate the PAST because it is pleasing to the eye compared to previously used alternatives. Some observers have actually mistaken the PAST for a metal sculpture.

  • ARFF crews now have the opportunity to hone penetration skills and increase confidence.
  • The curvature of the PAST is similar to an aircraft fuselage.
  • The PAST is constructed of heavy gauge steel framework covered with inexpensive, easily replaceable aluminum panels.
  • The aluminum panels provide resistance and piercing action similar to an aircraft fuselage.

Testimonials

"Thank you for building such a remarkable training tool. My firefighters have trained non-stop since we took delivery of the Past device and have become experts with the snozzle. I have talked to numerous fire departments and I have really suggested that they buy the Past device and the advantages that they will have by using the Past device."
