DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce that their subsidiary Apical Industries has received EASA approval of the EC145 Tri-Bag Emergency Float Systems with & without Liferafts. Transport Canada and FAA approval have been previously received.

The Apical EC145 Emergency Float Kits consist of: four emergency floats attached to the skid gear, a float inflation reservoir mounted on the lower portion of the fuselage, and a cyclic-mounted float inflation handle. The kit may also contain a set of two 8-man liferafts (with 11 man overload capacity) which are packed on the aft floats and have their own mechanical inflation system. The patented integrated design of the Apical Liferaft system conserves valuable passenger space and provides a significant safety benefit over cabin mounted options. All the associated plumbing, hardware and electrical components to complete the installation of the kits are provided.
