Seatbelt Airbags
Makers of the only general aviation airbag system.
In service since 2001, nearly 80% of new general aviation aircraft have the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag system installed as new equipment. Now, this state-of-the-art airbag technology is available as a retrofit for older aircraft.
Designed to protect occupants from impact with glare shields, instrument panels, and control yokes, the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag looks and operates like a standard seatbelt. The airbag is stored in the lap belt portion of the 2- and 3-point restraints and in the torso section of the 4- and 5-point systems.
When the sensors detect an impending incident, the airbag deploys up and away from the seated passenger – adults and children, large and small – and provides protection to the head, neck and torso. The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag meets the FAR 23.562 26g requirements in pilot / co-pilot seats and provides the additional safety needed in a survivable impact.
If you have a general aviation aircraft and would like to install or service the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag system, please view our AmSafe Airbag Service Center map to find a location near you.
