INSPECTION
Daily Inspection
1. Visually inspect the outer pouch for obvious damage (e.g. puncture, tear, swelling, etc.). If the outer
pouch is obviously damaged, it will be necessary to open the outer pouch and conduct further
inspection of the inner packaged contents (See
Inspection
below).
2. Ensure the red inflator lanyard extends out of the top flap of the pouch.
After Any Inflation Event
1. After each field-use inflation event, the MD3080s are to be returned to Harbour Air for inspection
and recertification.
Annually
In addition to the inspection specified before each use, perform the following at least every year or
more often, if exposed to potential damage or used in extreme temperature conditions.
1. Open the top flap of the pouch, remove the inner package from the pouch.
2. Visually confirm that the anti-tamper seal that crosses the inflator lever arm is present and secure.
It is not necessary to open the inner package. The presence of the anti-tamper seal indicates that
the inflator’s lever arm has not moved since the device was last armed and that it is ready for use.
3. If the anti-tamper seal is dislodged or missing, return the IFD to Harbour Air for inspection and
recertification prior to further use.
4. Inspect the inner pouch to ensure it is not torn or punctured. If the inner pouch is damaged, return
the IFD to Harbour Air for inspection and recertification prior to further flight.
5. If there is no obvious damage to the inner pouch and the anti-tamper seal is secured across the
lever arm, the device is ready for service.
6. Visually inspect the outer pouch for obvious damage (e.g. puncture or tear). If outer pouch is
damaged, replace with new outer pouch. The sealed inner pouch and the outer pouch can be
separated for replacement by detaching the snap from the d-ring shown in Figure 8.
7. Prior to replacing the inner pouch into the outer pouch ensure that the snap assembly secures the
lanyard through the d-ring.
8. Ensure that the lanyards are secured by the hook and loop at the finger pull loop (Figure 6).
9. Insert the inspected inner pouch in the outer pouch such that the inflator handle extends outside the
flap, as shown below:
