A 20 year review of Canadian Forces (CF) aircrew ejection/ditching, survival/rescue times and injury patterns in salt and fresh water is presented. Of the 595 A, B, and C category accidents which have been reviewed (1962-1982), 37 were water-entry. Of the 116 crew which were involved, 38 died (4 in fresh water). The Sea King helicopter is most at risk from sea water immersion, and the single-engine Otter has been the most vulnerable to fresh water immersion. A water immersion can be expected approximately once every 170,000 h of total flying time. In 92% of cases, the crew had less than 1 min warning that immersion was imminent and in 78% had less than 15 s to make a practical response. There were two clinical cases of hypothermia. In the absence of injuries, aircrew trained in water survival, qualified on the Dilbert Dunker, and who are strong swimmers or sports divers, have a better chance to survival. Time to rescue in all cases was under 3 h, and in 16 out of 24 cases crew members were rescued in under 15 min.
本文对加拿大军队（CF）空勤人员弹射/迫降、在海水和淡水中的生存/救援时间以及受伤模式进行了为期20年的回顾。在已审查的595起A、B和C类事故（1962 - 1982年）中，有37起是入水事故。在涉及的116名机组人员中，38人死亡（4人死于淡水）。海王直升机最易遭受海水浸泡，而单引擎水獭飞机最易遭受淡水浸泡。预计每飞行170000小时左右会发生一次入水事故。在92%的情况下，机组人员在即将入水前不到1分钟得到警告，78%的情况下在不到15秒内做出实际反应。有两例体温过低的临床病例。在没有受伤的情况下，接受过水上生存训练、通过迪尔伯特式水上救生器测试且游泳能力强或有潜水经验的空勤人员生存几率更大。所有情况下的救援时间都在3小时以内，24起事故中有16起机组人员在15分钟内获救。
