2 Man Life Raft for Aviation
Similar to Coastal Life Raft for Marine Use
This aviation life raft is substantially the same as our 2 man coastal marine life raft, except with respect to how automatic inflation is implemented. On this aviation model, automatic deployment of the life raft inside the plane would be counter-productive, should the plane crash and commence sinking. Therefore, the aviation model will not inflate until the waterproof white safety cap is removed from the automatic inflation mechanism.
Remove White Safety Cap Before Deploying Raft
White Safety Cap
Leave the safety cap in place on the life raft until you have gotten the raft outside of your sinking aircraft. The white safety cap is intended to prevent inflation of the raft inside your plane's fuselage. Once outside, remove the white safety cap to enable inflation to proceed.
