QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Yes. This life vest ships with a filled CO₂ cylinder installed, so it’s ready for use when properly maintained and within its recommended service interval.
FAA-approved aviation life vests – including the Switlik EV-35 – do not automatically inflate solely on water contact; they must be manually activated by the wearer when needed. After manual activation, CO₂ inflates the vest for buoyancy; backup oral inflation may also be available, depending on the model and configuration. Switlik designs its aviation life vests to meet TSO-C13f requirements, which emphasize controlled, reliable inflation for aircraft use.
he Switlik EV-35 is certified as an adult life vest under FAA TSO-C13f, meaning it is intended for individuals weighing 95 lbs (about 43 kg) or more. It is not recommended for children or passengers below this weight threshold due to buoyancy and safety certification limits. Load and buoyancy requirements help ensure the vest functions as designed in emergency water egress situations.
The recommended TBO (Time Between Overhaul) for this Switlik constant-wear aviation life vest is 2 years from the date of manufacture. At each interval, the vest should be inspected, tested, repaired (if needed), and recertified by an authorized Switlik service center in accordance with the appropriate CMM. Following the recommended TBO helps ensure continued compliance with safety standards and reliable performance.
Once a life vest has been deployed (inflated), it must be serviced, reset, and recharged at a Switlik authorized service center before it can be returned to service. CO₂ cylinders, inflation mechanisms, and seals need professional inspection and replacement as appropriate to ensure the vest meets its FAA TSO requirements. This service helps maintain safety, compliance, and readiness for future use.
When folded for storage, the life vest measures approximately 15" x 7" x 2". Please note that this vest is not sold with a storage bag, unlike some commercial airline life vests.
