Installation Instructions/Considerations
There are no installation instructions for the Harbour Air IFD. Instructions for donning and usage are
given in the following sections. The IFD is intended to b
e worn around the user’s waist and thus it is
not necessary to install into an aircraft or vessel. That does not preclude the possibility of creating
provisions for installation, but it is not covered under this approval. The IFD has a label as shown
below, which indicates the Date of Manufacture and SN for tracking maintenance. Additionally, there is
an optional Radio Frequency Identification chip (RFID) inside the inner pouch for users who wish to use
one.
