Dart Helicopter Services announced that their Replacement Crosstubes for Bell 206A/B, 206L/L1/L3/L4 and 407 model aircraft, which were previously approved by Transport Canada and the FAA, have now been approved by EASA.

The DART replacement crosstubes are designed to be universally compatible and may be installed on DART skidtubes (featuring 2-piece split saddles and Round-I-Beam™ technology) as well as Bell and AAI skidtubes. In accordance with BHT-206-SI-129, DART crosstubes are approved to support the increased gross weight for 206A/B models.

DART has long prided itself on its innovations for the helicopter industry. To that end, DART has devised and implemented a revolutionary environmentally friendly production method that results in high quality and durable crosstubes.

"European 206/407 and 212/412 operators can now source their landing gear with DHS. This is such a cost effective solution; whether you're replacing a single crosstube, your entire gear or converting your aircraft from low to high gear, DHS can now meet all your landing gear requirements," commented Jeff Shapiro, CEO of Dart Helicopter Services.
