9G Loading safety and Cabin Modifications

Structural Tube (“STTB”) attributes are:

the Forward Net has a “9G’’ regulatory requirement to ensure safety in the cockpit;
sole aim of stopping the full load in the event of a crash.
The space between the net and the cockpit serves for the extension of the net, in case of an accident as the load cannot be absorbed directly by the cockpit structure.
The net works on a hook system, folds with sewing threads made to break and thus absorb the load gradually.
The net completely extended and along the cockpit door prevents it from opening.
The crew door a small door within the LCD – is not an emergency exit. The emergency exit from the aircraft (after modification) is the cockpit hatch door.
To aid operational efficiencies and ease of access and loading, the Forward Net (weighing only 15kgs) is seperateable into 2 parts;
attaches to each other through easy access and connections devices – fully installed in approximately 3 minutes by a single person;
