Manufactured from polyurethane proofed nylon fabric our lifejackets surpass the stringent tests laid down by both the CAA and FAA. They provide sufficient buoyancy to force the wearer, even if exhausted or unconscious, into a correct (face upward) floatation position within a matter of seconds and maintain the wearer in this position until rescue services arrive. The passenger and crew lifejackets are both of welded construction.
Each lifejacket is made up of the following components:
FAA & CAA Approved
10 years before service is needed
Automatic inflation system
Oral inflation tube
Water-activated sealight
Whistle
Waistbelt
The lifejacket comes packed in a hard or soft valise to fit a standard stowage or overhead passenger service unit. Other stowages include a semi-rigid container, a tamper-proof, sealed valise, a PVC pouch worn around the waist or a cravat-type constant-wear PVC valise worn around the neck.
