Description
Airbus EC130 Emergency Float Kits are available with or without 6-man liferaft. The systems are compatible with ground handling wheels and the floats can be removed in a matter of minutes. The electro-mechanical valve system has no squibs. The cylinder valve assemblies, floats and liferafts are available as exchange items, thereby reducing the maintenance and down time. All hoses and fittings are stainless steel. All float chambers come standard with field replaceable pressure relief and inflation valves. The floats are on-condition and except for the liferafts, do not have to be returned to the factory for recertification. Factory recertification of the systems is available for customers who desire OEM services. Annual inspection of floats, as compared with the 6 or 12 month inspection required in some competitors' products, lowers ongoing maintenance costs of the system.
*Complete system including: reservoir, float bags and covers, necessary wiring and plumbing.
