In November of last year, I made the guess that the FAA Approval of the TRITON with QLR would come in by early March of this year. The FAA signed the letter on March 3rd. Our TRITON II QLR Harness system has received approval under TSO-C167 for human external cargo (HEC) operations. The 490-VOT Vest which integrates with the TRITON II QLR is also approved by the FAA under TSO-C13G.
What follows is a description of the entire harness/vest system, the world’s only harness with quick release and integrated flotation device to receive regulatory manufacturing approval.
