Life rafts
Aser:
None of the current A/C situations (ditchings) we have had today: S-92A, AS-332 L2 & EC-225 have any auto-deployment of the life rafts. When the rafts are armed, the only way to deploy them is to activate them through int. (in the cockpit) or ext. handling by handles. They will NOT activate by themselves in an armed mode. The float-system by the other hand will inflate by their water-detection sensors if armed.
