SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. AMSAFE SEATBELT AIRBAG SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. General
The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag V23 System is a self-contained, modular restraint system specifically
designed to improve occupant protection from serious head-impact injury during a survivable aircraft
crash, and enhance the occupant’s ability to egress the aircraft. The system does not interface to
any aircraft systems including the aircraft power supply. The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag System is
designed with built-in safety features to prevent inadvertent deployments that could result in injury to
occupants, crew, or maintenance staff.
The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag System may consist of the following core components:
Inflatable Lap Belt or Restraint Assembly – 1 per seat/passenger
Inflator and Inflator Fitting – 1 or 2 each per seat/passenger
EMA – 1 per seat assembly
Cable Interface Assembly – 1 per seat assembly
Each AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag seat position requires an Inflatable Lap Belt or Restraint Assembly and
Inflator(s) with an Inflator Fitting(s), see Figure 3 for dual Inflator system. Some Inflators do not
require an Inflator Fitting. One EMA is used for one seat assembly. The Cable Interface Assembly
connects the EMA to the Inflatable Lap Belt or Restraint Assembly.
The AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag V23 System uses a SDT to perform system diagnostics. This is a
hand-held device for use by the system installers and airline maintenance crew to test system
readiness and is described in Section 1000 of this document.
