DART Helicopter Services' announces that their subsidiary Apical Industries Inc., has received EASA approval of their Replacement Lower Forward Fuselage Panels for Eurocopter AS350/355 model helicopters. FAA and Transport Canada approval have already been received.

After years of service your original equipment panels can show signs of deterioration and moisture damage. The Apical Replacement Fuselage Panel uses high strength carbon fiber and a closed cell foam core to improve the service life and resistance to in-service damage. Apical's panel mounts in the

original location using existing fasteners and is available in two different finishes, clear coat or primed. The panels include ground plane improvement to allow antenna mounting and the core is absent in the locations of frequently used optional equipment for ease of installation. Additionally, the Apical panel has been designed for easier removal and is less susceptible to damage from the latches.

Apical's additional EASA approvals for AS350/355 aircraft include:

• Cylindrical Emergency Float Systems with and without Integrated Rafts

• Tri-Bag Emergency Float System

• Utility Fixed Float System

Pending EASA approvals:

• AS350 Air Conditioning Kit

• Cable Cutters Kit & Wiper Deflector Kit
