AVI Survival Products 8 Person Life Raft conforms to the latest FAA TSO C70a requirement. The life raft has a single tube in­flatable, with an internal bulkhead design, creating two separate chambers. Classified as a Type II Non-Transport category life raft recommended for Corporate and General Aviation.

The 8 Person life raft series is constructed with the latest Urethane coated Nylon Fabric using thermo bonding technology.

Aluminum cylinders and valves are added to reduce corrosion while packed and in use. The Soft-Pack Valise is made of heavy-duty polyester fabric with secured Velcro closures for a tightly packed raft.

These rafts are engineered to reduce overall weight and deliver a compact de­sign for easy transport and stowage for any aircraft compartment. AVI life rafts come with a 5-year warranty on parts and labor, built to last a lifetime with proper care.
