Airbags now available for more Pipers

By Janice Wood · March 2, 2009 ·

AmSafe, Inc. has reached an agreement with Piper Aircraft to distribute the AmSafe Aviation Airbag System throughout the Piper Aircraft Service Network of service centers.

The system is an available option on all new PA-46 aircraft and for aftermarket installation on entry- level and twin-engine Piper models (PA-28, PA-32, PA-34, PA-44 and PA-46).

The AmSafe Airbag System is a self-contained, modular restraint designed to improve occupant protection from serious head-impact injury and enhance one’s ability to exit the aircraft following an otherwise survivable accident. When the system’s sensors detect a crash, an airbag built into the restraint deploys up and away from the seat occupant.

For more information: AmSafe.com or Piper.com.
