Description

The O-AFT-NET-P is specifically engineered as an aft-cabin restraint net, designed to secure luggage, equipment, or smaller cargo situated behind the passenger/cockpit compartment of a helicopter. With its 650 lbs SWL, this net is ideal for light-duty interior load-control where space is limited and weight is critical.

Made from aviation-grade synthetic webbing, reinforced with heavy-duty stitching, and outfitted with corrosion-protected hardware, the net is configured to withstand the operational stresses of utility helicopters - such as take-off, landing, turbulence, and cabin reconfigurations.

The “-P” suffix signifies its design variant (for instance “Port” or “Passenger side – aft”) which helps match net installation to the correct aircraft zone. This net helps operators maintain clear separation between cargo loads and crew/passenger zones, enhancing safety and operational flexibility.

Specifications

Included Components

• Net assembly: O-AFT-NET-P

• Pre-installed anchor straps or loops for aft-cabin fitment

• Installation & maintenance instruction sheet

• Certificate of conformity / traceable load-test report (upon request)

Optional Accessories / Customisation

• Custom webbing colours for operational visibility or fleet branding

• Quick-release buckles for rapid install/removal when converting to passenger use

• Protective abrasion sleeves for anchor zones exposed to repeated contact

• Reflective edging or high-visibility webbing for low-light operations

• Extended or modified anchor strap lengths for non-standard cabin layouts

Usage Notes & Maintenance

• Prior to each flight or cargo load, inspect webbing, stitching, hardware, and all anchor points in the aft cabin.

• Ensure the net is properly tensioned and securely anchored - slack or loose installation reduces containment effectiveness.

• Do not exceed the rated SWL of 650 lbs; dynamic loads (from manoeuvres, turbulence) may exceed static ratings - include a safety margin.

• The net is designed for internal cabin use only; it is not certified for external or underslung loads unless explicitly stated.

• Store when not in use in a clean, dry environment, avoiding prolonged UV exposure, chemical contamination, or sharp folds/kinks which can compromise webbing.

• Conduct periodic inspections for fraying, hardware corrosion, anchor-point wear; replace any component showing wear immediately.

• If the helicopter’s interior configuration changes (e.g., seats removed, cargo zone modified, new tie-down points installed), verify compatibility and certification with the manufacturer or a certified engineer.
