HELI-BRIDLE® PSD

Description

The ARS Heli-Bridle® Portable Safety Device (PSD) is an aircraft specific portable safety device intended for the capture of human cargo in the event of separation from the primary external load carriage system (i.e. cargo hook, etc.). The Heli-Bridle™ PSD is a temporary, portable device and is to be installed before and removed after human external cargo (HEC) operations.

Our system is the only portable safety device currently manufactured that meets the requirements set forth by the US Federal Aviation Administration for portable safety devices (See FAA InfoDoc 12015).

The Heli-Bridle™ PSD is an isolated component used for emergencies and is NOT designed as a primary external load carriage system.
