Each kit includes 4 floats manufactured with lightweight urethane-coated nylon fabric. Each float has inlet check valves and combination manual topping/pressure relief valves. One 1105 cu. in. inflation bottle and inflation valve is installed on the underside of the fuselage for float inflation. The float inflation valve is operated either manually by a pull handle mounted on the cyclic stick or electrically by 2 water switches mounted on the underside of the fuselage (optional). Each kit may also contain one 6-man liferaft with survival kit mounted on each forward float and a 550 cu. in. liferaft bottle and inflation valve installed on the underside of the fuselage. The liferaft valve is operated manually by 1 of the 3 T-handles, (1 mounted on the center console and 2 mounted on the Aft landing gear crosstube).
