Secondary Cockpit Barrier
From mid-2025, all new commercial aircraft operating under Part 121 in the US will be mandated to provide a Secondary Cockpit Barrier within the aircraft cabin. Although many operators are not planning on waiting for the legislation and are looking to implement an installed permanent secondary barrier with immediate effect.
In support of this changing legislation, AmSafe Bridport have developed a Secondary Cockpit Barrier Solution or IPSB (Installed Physical Secondary Barrier). The AmSafe Bridport solution is a textile based secondary barrier to provide at least a 5 second delay for intruders attempting to enter the cockpit.
Offering a fully customisable secondary barrier for out of plane configurations, our highly engineered textile barrier can be adapted for various monument or galley configurations and retrofitted to existing aircraft variants. An additional benefit over a fixed door solution is that the AmSafe Bridport Secondary Cockpit Barrier can be stored easily when not in use and meets optimal lightweight guidelines.
AmSafe Bridport have collaborated with Airbus on an IPSB for their A220 fleet. The requirement was for a strong yet flexible solution that meets the demands of working around existing monuments on board for all narrow body aircrafts.
When stowed our IPSB fits seamlessly into existing monuments on board. Effortless smooth operation to open, lock and stow back into its’ custom designed slim casement fitting when not in use.

Increasing Comfort for all by Reducing Draughts in the Cabin
Cold draughts around the main doors in some aircraft can create passenger and attendant discomfort during flight.
The simple and innovative Draught Defender prevents draughts without the considerable cost of an aircraft modification. Quickly fitted by the flight crew after take-off, the Draught Defender provides a reliable seal, reducing cold air draughts throughout the flight. The compact design is then easily stowed prior to landing to ensure there is no obstruction to the emergency exits.
Tested to meet the stringent FAA flammability requirements, this cost effective, lightweight solution assures quality and provides passengers and attendants with the same level of comfort during flights.
Currently designed for the Airbus A319 & A320 aircraft.
