Kortel Front Cockpit Safe – Flight Deck

Kortel Cockpit Safe is an evolution of Cockpit II, thought to improve the safety of the pilots.

The Kortel Front Cockpit Safe is designed to improve pilot safety. Every year, lethal accidents occur because a pilot forgets to buckle his leg straps. After analysis of these accidents, we often discover this oversight is due to the presence of an instrument cockpit masking these straps and letting the pilot think they are attached. There are now different “anti-forgetting” systems integrated into the harnesses, but not taking into account the presence of a frontal instrument container. The Cockpit Safe is the first instrument holder to incorporate this technology, which was previously reserved for harnesses because its unique hanging system allows one of the leg straps to be connected to the 2 main links. From the moment the Cockpit Safe is attached, the pilot can no longer fall out of the harness.
