In what type of aircraft is the LPU-32/P life preserver assembly authorized for use?

The LPU-32/P life preserver assembly is specifically designed for use in helicopter and transport type aircraft due to the unique operational environments and requirements these aircraft present. This life preserver provides functionality tailored for the conditions that can occur during flight in these types of aircraft, such as potential ditching or water landings, where the likelihood of survival equipment being required is enhanced.

Fighter aircraft may operate in different flight profiles and environments, which may not necessitate the same type of life preserver as equipped on transport or helicopter variants. Similarly, while some civilian aircraft may utilize different safety devices, the LPU-32/P is not authorized for commercial use. As for authorization across all military aircraft, there are specific life preservers and survival equipment selected based on the operational needs of different aircraft types, making the application of LPU-32/P limited specifically to helicopters and transport aircraft.
