Description
The the HEED 3 is a compact, lightweight and reliable self-contained breathing apparatus, designed to increase the survivability of aircrew in short-term out-of-air emergencies, such as an aircraft ditching.
The unit is a refillable, fully self-contained breathing device for use with our Switlik pilots’ life vests. The dial gauge displays an accurate pressure reading in increments of 200 PSI. It can be stored at full pressure and only needs to be refilled if used (but should be checked before each flight). The always-on regulator is ready to deliver life-saving air in an underwater emergency or toxic air environment.
