DMC STATEMENT ON SAFETY CABLE (Safe-T-Cable ™) Daniels Manufacturing Corporation, “DMC” manufactures and sells safety cable under license by General Electric Aircraft Engines in conformity with Society of Automotive Engineers Standard (SAE) Standard AS4536, AS3509, AS3510 and customer specifications. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classified safety cable to be a standard part by issuance of a letter on November 23, 1993.  This letter, in its entirety, along with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) of that date referred to therein appears on the DMC Web Site, and in DMC catalogs on safety cable. The third Paragraph of that letter states: Installation of AS3509, AS3510 and AS3511 safety cable on aircraft is governed by FAR § 43.13, Performance Rules (general).  FAR § 43.13 (a) states in part: “Each person performing maintenance, alteration, or preventative maintenance on an aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance shall use the methods, techniques and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer’s maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by its manufacturer, or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator….” It is the responsibility of the installer of safety cable to determine where safety cable can or cannot be installed in accordance with FAA regulations, OEM Practice Standards, or Department of Defense (DOD) directives. Where authorization is required, the installer should contact the Equipment OEM for the necessary authorization. DMC IS NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND RESULTING FROM INSTALLATION OF SAFETY CABLE IN VIOLATION OF FAA, OEM, AND/OR DOD DIRECTIVES AND REGULATIONS. Safety Cable is a time saving technology.  Please feel free to contact DMC for recommendations concerning the appropriate type of safety cable to be used for installation on authorized applications.
