Securaplane has received a purchase order from 
Air Canada to replace its current battery charging system on its DC-9 
fleet of aircraft

On March 10, 1997, Securaplane received a purchase order from Air Canada 
for the new innovative BC-1300 Main Ship Battery Charging System 
utilizing advanced AC to DC technology, and comprehensive diagnostics 
with alphanumeric display.

The BC-1300 features low weight, extensive diagnostics (of both battery 
and charger) and high reliability miniature (high frequency) charging 
modules.  Securaplane is implementing SAFT=s optimum charging algorithm 
for the DC-9 Ni-Cad battery as well as for ULM applications.

The BC-1300 battery charging system has a unique method of ensuring that 
the battery will receive the correct amount of charge for its energy 
state and temperature condition, thus increasing the life and reducing 
maintenance intervals.

Benefits for replacing the existing unit will be enhanced battery life, 
significantly reduced battery maintenance as well as significant safety 
enhancements.

Securaplane holds a Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) for the 
installation of both the BC-1300 main ship battery charger as well as 
the SAFT ULM batteries on DC-9 series aircraft.  Other charger contracts 
include Northwest Airlines DC-9 fleet.

Securaplane is a designer and manufacturer of emergency power and 
electrical systems as well as electronic aircraft security systems. 
Securaplane is based in Tucson, Arizona.
