Klatt Works, which manufactures an oxygen mask incorporating a head-up display for smoke-in-cockpit emergency situations, has appointed Duncan Aviation as an authorized sales and installation center. The Klatt Works Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display (SAVED) mask is FAA-approved for installation in the Gulfstream G550, and G450 and G650 approvals are next on the list.
The built-in head-up display delivers critical flight information to miniature augmented reality displays inside the oxygen mask, enabling pilots to continue flying the airplane during a smoke-in-cockpit emergency when flight displays and other instruments are obscured. The first approval for the SAVED mask was in the Boeing 777F freighter.
“As a maintenance and refurbishment organization, safety is always at the top of the list for the services and products we provide to our clients,” said Duncan Aviation modifications sales manager Nate Klenke. “We are pleased to be selected as an authorized dealer and are now able to offer the SAVED product to our clients.”
“Their deep relationships across the business aviation community and their commitment to technical excellence make them a natural fit for bringing this capability to G550 operators,” said Klatt Works CEO Nate Klatt. “Expanding access to SAVED through trusted partners like Duncan Aviation is how we advance our mission of giving every flight crew a fighting chance when it matters most.”
