Description

The DHC-3-Otter-Right Interior Net is a precision-engineered starboard (right-hand)-side cargo-barrier net designed for the De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter aircraft. This internal restraint net prevents load movement from the cargo area to the cockpit or passenger zone, maintaining balance, safety, and compliance during take-off, landing, and turbulence.

Built with aviation-grade synthetic webbing, reinforced stitching, and multiple anchor points, the DHC-3-Otter-Right Net withstands continuous operational stress in bush, floatplane, and utility missions. It’s ideal for operators using the Otter for cargo conversion, aerial logistics, or mixed passenger-freight configurations.

While an official Safe Working Load (SWL) value is not publicly defined, similar interior restraint systems for this aircraft class are typically rated between 750 lbs and 1,500 lbs, depending on configuration and material. Operators should confirm the certified SWL rating before installation.

Specifications

Included Components

• Right-side interior net assembly (DHC-3-Otter-Right)

• Integrated anchor straps and loops matching Otter cabin layout

• Installation and inspection instructions

• Conformity/test documentation (provided upon request)

Optional Accessories / Customisation

• Custom-colour webbing for visibility or branding

• Quick-release buckles for rapid removal and re-installation

• Protective sleeves for abrasion-prone contact points

• Reflective tape edging for night or low-light operations

• Extended or reinforced anchor straps for modified interiors

Usage Notes & Maintenance

• Inspect webbing, stitching, hardware, and anchor points before every operation.

• Ensure the net is tensioned securely - loosened straps reduce restraint performance.

• Never exceed the rated Safe Working Load (SWL); account for dynamic forces encountered during turbulence or manoeuvres.

• The DHC-3-Otter-Right Net is designed strictly for internal use; do not repurpose for external or sling-load applications.

• Store in a dry, cool area, away from direct sunlight and chemicals; avoid folding the net sharply to preserve flexibility.

• Conduct routine inspections to check for fraying, corrosion, or stitching wear. Replace immediately if damage is detected.

• If the Otter’s cabin configuration changes (cargo modifications, seat removal, new anchor points), verify compatibility and certification with the manufacturer.

Summary

The DHC-3-Otter-Right Interior Net is a durable, aviation-grade restraint system built for the starboard side of the DHC-3 Otter. Designed for operators in cargo, bush, and floatplane operations, it offers dependable load control, long-term durability, and easy maintenance. With optional custom colours, quick-release features, and reinforced anchors, it ensures optimal cabin safety and operational flexibility.
