The Emergency Float Kit with Liferafts also contains two 10-man reversible liferafts which are attached to the Mid floats and have their own mechanical inflation system consisting of: 1 liferaft inflation reservoir and 3 inflation handles, 2 attached externally to the passenger steps and 1 attached to the center console on the co-pilot side.
