Recently I attended a
Beyond RIT class. It covered
RIT from a real-world
perspective from members
that have been
the Mayday or have been
involved in a RIT rescue.
Always good to get out and
attend a class and get some
new information.
Here are some handouts on
RIT that were provided in class.
Mayday by the Numbers
Mayday Communications
