Many of the TSO'd ELTs are north of $3000 and are only good for 5 years. In many circumstances, your Raft will also need to be outfitted with a TSO'd ELT. Under the 12,500 rule you can use a recreational class Raft, however, if the aircraft is operated under FAA part 135, it would then require a Cat 2, TSO'd raft.Īnother major cost is the ELT. Any Aircraft over 12,500 lbs requires a TSO'd raft. Aircraft weight also plays into the Raft configurations. We have rafts that are TSO'd to C70a, DGCI, and CAA. Our rafts also meet CAA and FAA regulations.
At Life Raft Store we offer life rafts that meet JAR-OPS 1 and 2. International Customers need to look at the JAR-OPS configurations to meet the requirements for the country that the aircraft is based. Remember, your passengers are your responsibility, Do it right. While many Rafts come with Hyperthermia protection, some do not, so this is another reason we guide you on your purchase and sell you what your flight demands, not just any ole raft. Have it built for the conditions your flying over? A warm water raft is not going to do you any good if your flying over cold water.
