Flight-Ready HEC Solutions
Buckingham offers flight-ready solutions for human external cargo (HEC) applications: the BuckFLIGHT HEC Harness (Non-Step In); Arc Tested Buck Access Tower Harness (Step In); and Arc Tested BuckTech Harness (Non-Step In).
Per FAA Policy Statement PS-AIR-27/29.865, ANSI Z359.11 full-body harnesses are now acceptable for use in HEC applications, providing an alternative to the harness requirements previously defined under FAA TSO-C167.
The BuckFLIGHT HEC Harness (64992) – developed collaboratively by experts who live and breathe safety, flight operations and on-structure work – sets a new standard for HEC performance. Key features include hi-vis webbing color that enhances visibility for pilots during HEC operations; an integrated RFID tag for inspection tracking; and a new HEC tagging system that includes a removable five-year HEC service-life label.
The 61992 Arc Tested Buck Access Tower Harness is the ultimate companion for both tower and fly work, providing exceptional suspension comfort during flight while maintaining the familiar fit and feel of a traditional lineman’s belt.
Lastly, the 68K966K6 Arc Tested BuckTech Harness takes safety and performance to the next level with the superior adaptability, comfort and performance required for both flight- and structure-based operations. https://buckinghammfg.com
