The inertia reel shoulder harness system can be installed in the 2 forward seating positions of the aircraft. The shoulder harness system consists of an inertia reel mounted to the aircraft cabin roof above and behind each seat, a "Y" shaped shoulder harness, a lap belt with mating buckle and associated bracketry and hardware to attach the system to the aircraft. Each kit comes complete with all mounting hardware, installation instructions, and STC for both Pilot and Co Pilot shoulder harness seatbelt systems. Suitable for Cessna 170, 170A, and 200 Series, Piper Models PA28, 32, & 34, Beech Bonanza 33, 35 & 36, Baron & Travel Air models 95, 55, 56 & 58 and other aircraft.

MAGNUM aircraft rescue ballistic parachute systems (also known as  Vertical Launch Systems, VLS) are manufactured by STRATOS 07 S.R.O with knowledge and long experience in the construction of system components including rocket motors. They include different series produced for many years (like 450, 450 Speed, 501, 601) & newer certificated rescue systems like Magnum 1201 & 1401 for heavier aircraft and higher deployment speeds. They are intended for use in hang-gliding, paragliding, powered hang-gliding, powered paragliding,  unpowered and powered gliders,  gyroplanes as well as a wide range of two- and multi-seat airplanes and helicopters, including Light Sport, Experimental and Ultralights with a maximum 3,960 pounds gross weight, and deployment speeds of up to 199 MPH. Magnum Ballistic Parachutes come in sofpacks or canisters. Rescue systems packed in the softpack are usually installed inside of the aircraft. Rescue systems packed in a duralminium container are installed mostly outside of the aircraft.

Please refer to tables of specifications and notes below for the selection of a right rescue system.

Notes:

The max take-off weight of the aircraft MUST NOT EXCEED the max allowable load of the rescue system.

If the aircraft Vne exceeds the max limiting speed for the rescue system deployment, mounting of the system should be done so that the pilot is informed of this speed.

MAGNUM ballistic parachute systems  are packaged in two parcels (one containing the parachute and the second containing the rocket). Because of the rocket, Haz-Mat shipping is required.

Appearing prices of MAGNUM rescue systems DO NOT INCLUDE cords between parachute and fuselage which are SOLD SEPARATELY. During the order, the length of activating cord from parachute to fuselage must be indicated. Other parts and accessories are also available at additional cost.

Operational, Demonstration & Training  Aircraft Safety Equipment are critical to safe aircraft operations and common supplies for most aircraft operators.

Whether they relate to PFDs (or otherwise called life jackets, life vests, life preservers, buoyancy vests or aids), life rafts or evacuation slides, aircraft safety equipment need to be initially purchased, properly inspected and maintained but also replaced (whenever required). In addition, demonstration/training versions of such equipment are also needed both for the training of personnel but also for the demonstration of their proper use by the passengers.

Sourced from different quality manufacturers such as EAM, TULMAR and others, these equipment are offered in new or used conditions (whenever specified) and carry required approvals for aircraft applications (FAA TSO-C13f, Type I, CAA BCAR B4-8, EASA ETSO C13f etc)

Survival kits are also offered to be combined with above supplies.

BRS AEROSPACE™ has first invented the first Whole Aircraft Rescue Parachute System (WARPS) in 1980 currently being installed on more than 35,000 aircraft. Today the company offers a wide range of WARPS suitable as retrofits to Cessna series 172 and Cessna 182, as standard installations on Cirrus SR20 and SR22 models but also for installations on LSA and experimental aircraft.

BRS WARPS are offered in 3 different types:

Canister. The BRS Canister is waterproof when the original factory seal remains intact, making it the perfect design for exterior installations. With a six year repack schedule and versatile mounting hardware, it is one of the most popular systems.

Softpack. The BRS Softpack is best suited for aircraft manufactur-ers that require a ballistic parachute mounted inside their aircraft. When mounted internally, this system also has a six year repack schedule.

VLS - Vertical Launch System. Built specifically for aircraft with limited interior space, the VLS (Vertical Launch System) installs on top of the wing or fuselage. Upward firing works well with pusher designed aircraft

A small solid-fuel rocket is used to pull the parachute out from its housing and deploy the canopy fully within seconds. Typically on ultralight installations the rocket is mounted on the parachute container. On larger aircraft installations the rocket may be remotely mounted. The current version, BRS-6. has a separate rocket installation that can be removed from the parachute so that the parachute can be sent for re-packing without the problems of trying to ship the rocket along with it. Typically the parachute requires repacking every six years and the rocket requires replacing every 12 years.
