Excavation time is by far the biggest contributing factor in avalanche fatalities. BCA Float avalanche airbags are designed to minimize excavation time by preventing burial. A small 2,700-psi (186 bar) compressed-air cylinder, single-chamber 150-liter airbag, and super efficient venturi system make the Float systems easy to refill, light and affordable.While the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has specifically approved avalanche airbags with pressurized cylinders for airline travel, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) does not allow them. If you are traveling in countries outside of North America where refills are not available, contact your airline in advance for permission to check through your pressurized Float cylinder. If permission is granted, then pack the pressurized cylinder in your checked baggage. Make sure it is packed with the following document: www.backcountryaccess.com/IATAdoc.
If you are traveling to or from North America, then TSA will not allow your pressurized cylinder on board. Discharge the compressed air cylinder before entering the airport. Unscrew the cylinder head from the cylinder and put both in re-sealable plastic bags. Carry them through the TSA security checkpoint so they are visible to TSA personnel. Afterward, the cylinder head can be screwed back on the cylinder by hand. When you reach your destination, locate a Float retailer or refill center and exchange or refill your empty cylinder. For a list of Float refill/exchange locations, see www.backcountryaccess.com/refillcenters.
