For Immediate Release


Securaplane has received STC certification for its 
Wireless Smoke Detection System on DC-9-30 series aircraft 
for "D" to "E" class lower cargo compartment upgrade
 

On August 13, 1999, STC was issued for Securaplane’s Wireless Smoke 
Detection System for installation on DC-9-30 series aircraft for "D" to "E" class 
lower cargo compartment upgrade.

The Securaplane wireless smoke detection system reduces installation time 
considerably from wired systems.  It can be installed on the aircraft during an 
overnight (approximately 70 man hours), significantly reducing major aircraft 
downtime compared to hardwired systems. Other advantages include comparative 
low cost and fast replacement of sensor heads or batteries (less than 10 minutes).

Securaplane's wireless fire detection system eliminates single point failures associated 
with wired systems and, if desired allows monitoring when the aircraft is unmanned, 
down to the individual sensor head.  This system also allows wireless maintenance 
diagnostics external to the aircraft.  The Securaplane system will also provide maintenance 
with specific component status in plain English on an alphanumeric readout. 

Wireless smoke detection contracts include Southwest Airlines, as well as UPS, Airborne 
Express, DHL, Emery Worldwide (J.F.A.T. Joint Freighter Airline Team), and Sun Country Airlines.

Securaplane is a designer and manufacturer of emergency power systems, main aircraft battery 
chargers, electronic aircraft security systems, 1500 VA inverters, in addition to wireless aircraft 
smoke detection/reporting equipment. Securaplane is based in Tucson, Arizona.
