EAM Non-Transport Series single tube life rafts are intended
for crewmember and passenger use aboard aircraft during over
water emergencies. These rafts are comprised of a circular flotation
tube compartmentalized into two chambers by vertical bulkheads
and a fabric deck which is attached to the tube structure. Neoprene
coated nylon fabric is used throughout each raft design. A combination
life line/grasp line assists in boarding.
These life rafts have a lanyard-activated, manually-operated
carbon dioxide (CO2) inflation system. A manually-operated hand
pump, secured to the boarding station handle affords full inflation,
or topping off of the flotation chambers, if required. Each
of the two compartmentalized chambers is maintained to equal
pressure by individual pressure relief valves - one in each
chamber.
Miscellaneous accessories are contained about the raft perimeter.
Appropriate instructions for the use of these accessories are
printed on the tube and deck. A raft instruction manual is tied
to the boarding handle on the deck.
Each raft has a canopy which is stowed with survival kit items
that are contained in a red or yellow accessory case attached
by a line to a raft life line loop. The canopy contains a door
opening with a roll up door cover and a rainwater collector
in the top or roof panel. Canopy rods and a center mast are
provided to support the canopy when it is erected. The canopy,
its center mast and supporting rods are encased in a protective
bag. Canopy sides can be raised or lowered as required. In the
Non-Transport Series rafts which have Federal Aviation Regulation
(FAR) Part 135 survival equipment, the raft has a radar reflector
which is an integral part of the canopy. Life rafts with survival
equipment under FAR part 121 rules do not require, and thus
do not have, a radar reflector unless ordered as special option.
