So you put a BAK-12 on wheels and called it a fancy name....still has to be anchored down the same way....I guess it's OK if you can't find a forklift.....
Actually, this is the Portarrest PIV mobile system. The PIIJ was a two-wheeled version towed by a fifth wheel tractor. The PIIJ remains in operation, primarily in Japan.
Have not seen a perm / semi-perm. installation of a Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (BAK-12) for a while. Brings back memories, thank you for posting
Not bad. I couldn't get over how the wheels in the rear are lower and the front are not. How did you get a POV near the MAAS? We had ours certified in Iraq with a taxi engagement.
Well, ahh, after you install, you drop the wheels. The rear wheels are on concrete & the MAAS slants down (should be even though). Would be nice to see an incremental install, eh?
Good video! I'm installing a BAK-12 system at PDX in Portland, OR!
