Switlik constant wear aviation life preservers should be inspected and tested as appropriate during their service life, taking into consideration such factors as operational history, route structure, frequency of handling, environmental and stowage conditions, etc. While the life preserver manufacturer can make a recommendation regarding its life preserver’s service intervals, ultimately, per ATA 100, Time Between Overhaul (TBO) intervals are to be determined between each operator and their local airworthiness authority. For FAR operators, Switlik Survival Products hereby recommends a standard 2 year service interval (TBO) on all Switlik TSO-C13d and TSO-C13f approved constant wear life preservers (S-9450, S-7200, S-9430, S-9400) as long as visual inspections are performed by the operator on no less than semi-annually basis. Any life preservers with visual damage or excessive wear must be pulled from operation and serviced by a FAA part 145 approved maintenance facility. Date of Issue: March 13, 2017
