In an emergency situation, locating clearly lit egress exits is
critical to survival whether it is during a ditching into dark,
turbid water or a smoke and dust filled cabin. Cobham HEELS allows
passengers to identify emergency escape hatches, exits and push-out
windows by illuminating their perimeter to guide them to
safety.
