For Immediate Release

Securaplane has received a PMA for a main ship 
battery charger system for installation on 
Boeing DC-10 and MD-11 aircraft

On February 21, 1997, Securaplane received Parts Manufacturer Approval 
(PMA) its BC-1302 main ship battery charger for installation on Boeing 
DC-10 and MD-11 aircraft. Securaplane has a contract with FedEx to 
retrofit its fleet of DC-10, MD-11 and MD-10 aircraft with Securaplane's 
BC-1302 main battery charger.

The Securaplane BC-1302 charger incorporates advanced technology to 
provide increased reliability, efficiency, reduced size and weight as 
well as significant diagnostics.  Securaplane's BC-1300 series chargers 
are available for both AC and DC aircraft.  The BC-1300 series chargers 
will increase battery life, reduce battery maintenance while providing 
significant data on battery and charger status.

Securaplane's BC-1300 series main ship battery chargers contain a patent 
pending method to ensure that the battery receives the optimum amount of 
charge for all temperature conditions combined with various battery 
states of charge.  Previous charging methods set the charge energy based 
solely on cell voltage.  This led to either over-charging or under-
charging the battery.

Securaplane is currently supplying battery chargers to Bombardier for 
its CL-604 and Regional Jet aircraft and Northwest Airline's and Air 
Canada's DC-9 fleet of aircraft.  Securaplane holds a PMA for the 
installation of both the BC-1300 main ship battery charger as well as 
the SAFT ULM batteries on DC-9 aircraft.

Securaplane is a designer and manufacturer of emergency power systems, 
aircraft electronic security systems, wireless smoke detection systems 
as well as main ship battery chargers.  Securaplane is based in Tucson, 
Arizona.
