On the morning of November 5, Brigade 918 coordinated with the National Center for Air Search and Rescue Training (Staff of the Air Defense Service - Air Force) to organize parachute practice for pilots and crew members. 

At the training session, each pilot, crew member and parachutist performed one jump by self-opening method.

Before that, to prepare for the skydiving mission, the Brigade had developed a rigorous training plan, organized for the participating forces to review and firmly grasp the theory of training curriculum on air search and rescue; technical features, structure, operating principles and usage of some types of parachutes; master basic movements such as leaving the plane door, flying a parachute, landing; handle unforeseen situations in the air and on the ground. Thanks to the thoughtful, meticulous and comprehensive preparation, the skydiving training session was completed as planned, ensuring absolute safety.

This is an important content that contributes to improving the level of pilots, crew members and parachute staff of the unit. On that basis, the brigade properly assessed the quality of training, arranged to use reasonable forces to successfully complete the mission of flight training and ensure flight safety in 2021 and the following years.
