Comair Limited, British Airways’ franchise partner in South Africa, has returned to AD Aerospace, an AD Group company, for a CabinVu-123 Cockpit Door Monitoring System for in-flight security on its new B737 aircraft.
“We have been very pleased with the quality and reliability of the CabinVu-123 systems we operate. So we have been happy to return to AD Aerospace for video security for our new aircraft,” said Erik Venter, Joint CEO of Comair Limited. “The CabinVu-123 cockpit door monitoring system helps our pilots by increasing their security and that of the entire aircraft along with the existing safety and security procedures we have in place.”
CabinVu-123 provides pilots with a forward looking view of the area outside the cockpit door and in the adjacent galleys from their usual seated positions. A series of cameras are linked to either one or two monitors and associated controllers within reach of the pilots. With the view provided by the system the pilots can visually identify anyone requesting entry and take appropriate action, should an incident arise. This is in line with recommendations from ICAO Annex 6, EUROCAE ED-123 and provides compliance with EU-OPS 1.1255 Sub Part S, FAA 14 CFR 121.313(k) and 14 CFR 121.584 (a)
What they say
“It’s always pleasing when an existing customer returns to us,” said Mike Horne, Managing Director, AD Aerospace Ltd. “And with Comair who was our first customer in Africa its great to see its fleet renewal programme progressing so well.”
FlightVu equipment has been or is being installed on aircraft for: Boeing, airBaltic, Austrian Airlines, GECAS, ILFC, Neoa, Privilege, Orient Thai, Comair, easyJet, Hainan, Germanaia, TUIfly, Sama and MyTravel amongst others.
