QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Question:
What is TSO-C13g, and why is it important for aviation life vests?
Answer:
TSO-C13g is a Technical Standard Order issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. It establishes the minimum performance and safety requirements that inflatable life vests used on civil aircraft must meet.
By meeting the TSO-C13g, life vests are guaranteed to inflate properly, remain inflated for a specified duration, and provide adequate buoyancy in case of an emergency water landing.
Knowing life vests comply with TSO-C13g provides passengers and pilots with peace of mind that they have reliable flotation devices available in case of an emergency over water.
