Subject: Canopy Breaker Tool
Dear Mr. Larry Bowen ' RV Builders Group of the Triad
I am writing to you concerning a safety item I have developed for light
aircraft and what your interest would be in providing it for your aviation
operations. It is a Canopy Breaker Tool targeted for aircraft with bubble
canopies, but will obviously work on any type of windscreen or side window
of any aircraft. When I previously flew military fighter aircraft, we
generally had some type of Canopy Breaker Tool installed in the aircraft fo
r
that =91one time event=92 of being trapped in the cockpit, and the canopy w
ould
not open and all normal means of extrication were exhausted. Having spoken
to many pilots who fly Vans, Light Sport, Aerobatic and some others a
recurring topic is how to get out of an airplane that has upset or the
canopy is jammed from some type of emergency situation. Most agree they
don=92t have a good plan or tool to use. Reflecting on past experience I h
ave
developed a tool which is light weight (10 ounces, 6=94 x 1=94), strong and
is
simply attached to an airframe or seat member in the cockpit near the PIC,
and in an emergency situation it can be easily released and you can break
the canopy and get out of the aircraft quickly.
This Canopy Breaker Tool retails for $39.00. Attached is an overview of th
e
tool, plus the document that would go into the POH and a picture of the
Canopy Breaker Tool.
Thank you in advance for your time and please let me know your thoughts on
this, and if this is something your customers would like for their own
aircraft for safety and survival.
