The Apical Emergency Float and Emergency Float with Liferaft Kit AgustaWestland A109 Helicopters consist of: Four emergency float (or emergency float with liferaft) installation assemblies attached to the OEM structural float provisions, and electrical provisions for the floats (float arming switch, float deployment switch, liferaft deployment switch, and associated wiring). The kit also contains, at customer option, two 6-man liferafts which are packed on the Fwd floats and have their own electrical inflation system consisting of: One liferaft inflation reservoir, one capacitor box assembly, and two liferaft deployment switches, the primary installed on the center console, and the secondary attached to the overhead console between the crew and passenger compartments. All the associated plumbing, hardware, and electrical components to complete the installation of the kit are provided. The emergency floats will allow the helicopter to land in water during an emergency ditching. The floats are inflated electrically when the float deployment switch on the collective is pushed. The Aft float is designed to reduce the chance of a tail rotor strike during autorotation water landing. After a water landing, the two 6-man liferafts are electrically inflated by operating either the center console mounted guarded switch or the overhead mounted switch. Only float system certified for the increased gross weight A109E/S.
