Sesame Technologies KPC3-825-65 Pitot Probe Cover – Select Bombardier & Pilatus Aircraft

The KPC3-825-65 pitot probe cover is designed to fit a wide range of commercial, military, and business aircraft. Its precision sizing ensures a tight and reliable fit on the designated probe, protecting sensitive equipment during ground operations. Always confirm compatibility with your aircraft’s maintenance documentation before installation to ensure proper fit and performance.

This cover is built from single-layer DuPont™ Kevlar® and other polyaramid materials, which provide exceptional strength and durability while remaining lightweight. Kevlar’s abrasion resistance prevents wear even with repeated handling, and its non-marring surface ensures that the probe is never scratched or damaged. This makes the KPC3-825-65 ideal for long-term protection in demanding ramp and hangar environments.

The cover includes a NAS1756-approved warning streamer with part number identification to ensure clear visibility during preflight checks. This highly visible streamer serves as a critical “Remove Before Flight” reminder for ground crews and pilots. By combining physical protection with visual cues, the KPC3-825-65 enhances both aircraft safety and operational awareness.

Yes, the cover is flame-retardant and specifically designed not to melt under high-heat exposure. This property is especially important for aircraft operating in hot climates or exposed to ground service equipment that generates heat. Flame resistance adds another layer of safety for technicians working near critical sensors.

The KPC3-825-65 features a water-repellent lamina that prevents moisture buildup and helps shield probes from rain or washing operations. Its polyaramid structure also resists chemical exposure and abrasion, reducing the risk of degradation from hydraulic fluid, deicing agents, or ramp contaminants. These qualities extend service life and ensure consistent protection in harsh environments.

Each cover undergoes factory-set pull-off resistance testing to guarantee a secure yet removable fit. This ensures the cover will not slip off during ground handling or weather events but can still be easily removed by maintenance crews. A dependable fit is essential for preventing probe damage and avoiding foreign object debris (FOD) hazards.

The KPC3-825-65 comes with integrated loops for easy installation and removal by hand or with an extension pole. These aids simplify the process for technicians working in various ramp conditions. For added convenience, the cover is designed to be both installable and removable using a pole, reducing the need for ladders or direct reach.

The KPC3-825-65 is manufactured under ISO 9001 and AS9100D quality assurance systems, ensuring that every unit meets strict aerospace industry standards. It also complies with CFR 25.853 flammability requirements, with test data available upon request. This makes the cover suitable for use by airlines, MROs, and military operators that require regulatory compliance.

Yes, the cover is entirely metal-free and designed to be low particulate. This reduces the risk of corrosion, electrical interference, or damage to the sensitive surfaces of the pitot probe. The non-metallic design also supports safe use in cleanroom or contamination-sensitive environments.

By protecting pitot probes from dirt, damage, and contamination, the cover reduces the risk of costly inspections or repairs. Its durable Kevlar® construction minimizes the need for frequent replacements, saving time and maintenance costs. Ground crews benefit from its quick installation and removal, keeping turnaround times efficient.

The cover is suitable for use in hangars, ramps, and storage facilities where aircraft may be exposed to environmental hazards or human activity. Widely used by airlines, FBOs, MROs, and military operators, the KPC3-825-65 safeguards pitot probes between flights. Its proven reliability makes it a standard choice for protecting air data systems in demanding aviation environments.
