DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce that DART Aerospace Ltd. has received FAA approval of their Protective Trim Kits for the Bell 204, 205, 212, 214 and 412 aircraft models. Transport Canada and EASA approvals have been previously received. DART Protective Trim Kits feature stainless steel doublers that protect aircraft skin and structures in often damaged areas.

The Door Sill Protective Trim Kit is designed to protect against damage to the crew door sills from traffic or from impacting with door. This kit completes both the crew doors and installs easily into existing rivet locations.

The Step Protective Trim Kit consists of two stainless steel doublers that install around the RH post steps between the crew and hinge panel door to protect the aircraft skin on the post from damage during maintenance or daily inspections.

The Fuel Panel Protective Trim Kit installs easily into existing rivet locations and consists of a stainless steel doubler that protects the aircraft skin below the aircraft fuel cap from fuel cap damage during refueling.

All kits are available separately and may be painted to match the aircraft's paint scheme.

"The DART Protective Trim Kits are an ideal addition for any aircraft. All the kits are constructed of sturdy stainless steel that will stand up to abuse in often damaged areas and will allow operators to avoid costly repairs to the aircraft skin." Quote Bill Beckett, General Manager DART Aerospace Ltd.
