Test drive of the first ice and driving instruction happy owner of hovercraft
Company Christy Hovercraft held for client management training rover amphibian Hovertrek 455L American production.
The best instructor led training company buyer for a special test site, where there is water, land, flat and steep bank, as well as various types of obstacles.
After a short briefing on safety to the owner to show the main methods to control the vessel hovercraft. After that, he was able himself to practice maneuvering, turning on the spot, reversing, “police centerfold.
On the day of training at the reservoir was thin ice that did not prevent a test drive, but only showed how easy all-terrain vehicle amphibious Hovertrek 455L can move on that surface, and how high the cross of this type of vehicle.
However, judge for yourself. Videoclip from the training below.
Test-drive of the first ice on amphibians Hovertrek 455L
Company Christy Hovercraft conducted test-drive all-terrain amphibious Hovertrek 455L in thin ice.
With the onset of frost in reservoirs appears first ice: a subtle and dangerous. What often does not stop fans of winter fishing. There are extreme fans who deliberately goes to the ice for various reasons: to pass away the way, to experience the thrill. Ice can not withstand the load, and the person is in cold water.
Professionals MOE Russia every year to rescue hundreds of people trapped in such situations.
Hovercraft Hovertrek 455L, being amphibious, very moving and on the ice, and water. What makes it possible to use in this situation. In addition, the vessel has a wholly buoyancy. This means that, even drowning out the engine, for example, to help the victim to get on board, amphibian will stay afloat like a boat.
Emergency Rescue workers were able to not just make sure the effectiveness of hovercraft in a brittle thin ice. Also manual MOE plans to purchase party amphibious all-terrain vehicles for rescue operations on water.
Present to you the unique frames, where all-terrain vehicle amphibious subtlest moves on the ice, that does not prevent him to move and maneuver. In these circumstances, the ship did not even rate rebate. At this can not by any other type of vehicles.
Driving happy owner SVP Hovertrek 455LP
Company Christy Hovercraft has trained the customer to manage the boat-rover hovercraft Neoteric Hovertrek 455LP.
Instructors of the company came to a place of permanent deployment of the amphibious hovercraft – on Lake Ladoga.
Boat Hovertrek 455LP, equipped polukabinoy and reverse damper system most suited for winter conditions: windshield covers the driver and passengers from the cold wind, and the reverse flaps allow the boat difficult maneuvering.
Education, presented on a video, took place within a few hours. Client is fully mastered the skills to control the hovercraft in winter conditions.
Presentation to Services Emergency amphibious Hovertrek 455L
Company Christy Hovercraft demonstrated capacity Hovertrek 455L for rescuers.
Professionals MES has been shown as a hovercraft can be used in emergencies to save lives, such as water.
Rescue workers were able to independently verify the effectiveness of all-terrain amphibious Hovertrek 455L when used in rescue operations.
