Explain how to evaluate where you should be located and how you can move from one side of the IP to the other (if relevant), e.g. by removing hatch between hub and nacelle Explain how to assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, ensuring a clear and preferred evacuation route and the limitations related to the singular rescue

The participants shall:

Practise how to establish means of escape with an end-to-end rescue strategy
