Pianoman Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Anyone fly with one? Anyone had to use one in anger? Anyone had a water landing and wish they did have one? I'm flying a few coastal areas and am thinking its probably a good idea to get one just to cover all bases. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Dont ask just get one or just a life jacket, anything is better than nothing. Fly with a full tank of fuel, less air in the tank means less bouancy trying to get to the surface. (assuming low mounted tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outkast Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Clive freeman has used one in anger [youtubevideo]https://www.youtube.com/user/clive100freeman?feature=watch[/youtubevideo] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianoman Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Wow. Great vid! Didn't realise they were so cheap either. Order is in now! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicppg Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I can't believe they're so expensive - £210 Compare it to a similar (non-"aviation") self-inflating jacket for under £50: http://www.seapro.co.uk/acatalog/Seapro ... ckets.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianoman Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Lol. I suppose it's all relative really. Some guy I know apparently paid £400+ for an Agama type system life jackets for the pilot are great but if I'm u fortunate enough (or stupid and inept enough) to end up in the drink, I wanna save my kit too.

notch Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 They must have one in the UK, perhaps contact them directly? More info compared to agama here http://powerfloat.com.au/cms/?page_id=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
