Apical Industries Inc. Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Emergency Float Kits on Helicopters

Apical Industries Inc. is proposing a new airworthiness directive to improve the safety of its emergency float kits on certain model helicopters, requiring the addition of placards to identify the liferaft external inflation handle and replacing existing placards to state that external liferafts are installed, following a recent helicopter crash where passengers were unaware of the float kit's location.
