What Others Say:

"For small kits, we like the AST's overwater fanny pack. It's inexpensive, practical, and because you can wear it, there's no chance it will be left behind. The pack has room for adding personal items and a Personal Locator Beacon, an addition we think every owner should consider". "Aviation Survival Technologies offers the ideal overwater kit".

Randy,

 Many thanks for all your efforts and personal attention in getting me setup and configured. I very much appreciated all the personal attention and your wealth of knowledge and experience on survival matters. It was a great experience doing business with you.

Thank you, P.K. Dallas TX.

"I spoke with a number of people and on-line stores when shopping for survival gear for a family flight to the Bahamas.  No one came close to the level of service provided by Aviation Survival Technologies. Randy helped me pick out the appropriate raft, water survival pack, and even talked me out of upgrading my exiting life vests. He said what I had was sufficient and even offered to checkout/test them for free if I paid the shipping! Very knowledgeable, honest, and great service."

Randy, 

The raft, PLB, and over water survival pouch all arrived and look great. You really went the extra mile - not only by providing so much information over the phone making sure my requirements were met, but also by having the survival kit and PLB all set up and ready to go.  I was impressed by the way you tethered elements of the survival kit to the pouch to avoid loss.  Without benefit of our discussion I would have bought the wrong raft and paid more. It is rare to combine such top notch service with an unbeatable price - keep up the great work!

I have been shopping for a liferaft for over 2 years.  Yeah I know that sounds ridiculous, but its the truth.  There are so many different raft manufacturers out there, and everyone believes that their raft is the best.  On top of that, there are WAY to many options that most people can't even explain the purpose for.  The main thing that I really didn't like was that I was having trouble finding someone that was knowledgeable about all the rafts and didn't have a biased opinion about one.  When I found Randy, I found exactly what I was looking for.  He was knowledgeable about the majority of the rafts on the market, and supplied the material I needed to make a educated decision on my purchase.  Not to mention the best prices I could find anywhere, and the great one on one customer service you need when purchasing something of this nature. 

Thanks again Randy!

Dear Randy,
We are at the close of the 2005 Treasure Hunt, which again, has been well received. Thank you for bringing a new touch to the meaning of aviation survival.
It is amazing that in the period of time that you demonstrated the survival skills and inflated the life-raft, you changed for each of us, the understanding and the perspective of survival at sea following the ditching of a private plane.
Your intimate knowledge of the elements, nature, sea-life, and survival techniques will be greatly appreciated should we ever face the predicament of flying into the water.
After seeing your concept of the survival pouch, we need to include them as part of the registration for Air Journey's long-range excursions. The A.S.T. survival pouch was extremely well received by our clientele. It is very easy to wear and a very attractive alternative to any other survival equipment available.
We would highly recommend anyone flying over water or unfriendly territory to carry the A.S.T. Survival Pouch.

Randy has been the water survival "guru" for the Cayman Caravan for the past sixteen years. He has conducted seminars for well over 1,000 general aviation pilots who were about to depart Key West for a flight over Cuba to the Cayman Islands.
The combination of his general aviation experience and Coast Guard background make him uniquely qualified as a bona fide expert in light aircraft overwater operations.
The AST Overwater Survival Pouch is a direct result of Randy's understanding of the cockpit environment as well as the survival environment. When I fly over water, I am wearing the AST Overwater Survival Pouch.

Dear Randy,
I just finished showing my wife your survival pouch and explaining to her the type of things to do for safety when flying over water. I was especially pleased at how much I have learned about flight over water safety and how much more comfortable I am with the idea. Thank you for the life's lesson.

Dear Randy,
Debbie and I got so much from our trip to the Bahamas and we thank you for your instruction and help. We will always retain the survival information you showed us and the use of the equipment. We expect to travel over water again. Your information would also be very useful for an incident over land.

Steve and Debbie Schroder, Moline IL.



Good kit! Randy is right in saying "what you have on you is what you will have with you". We have but only one life and we must be prepared for mechanical problems over water. My military training has taught me that training and equipment certainly helps the odds.
Randy's kit is always with me because ATC frequently routes us over water farther than gliding distance.
Thank you for helping the general aviation community become aware of this need.
