DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce that their affiliated partner; DART Aerospace Ltd., has received EASA approval for their Vertical Reference Floor Window Kits for Eurocopter AS 350 / AS 355 models of aircraft.

DART's floor window kits ease vertical reference operations by providing improved viewing of slung loads and by assisting with establishing a vertical ground reference.

The floor window is available in three sizes to fit different operational requirements. The larger windows allow you to see further up the line, so you can choose a shorter line, this enhancing your operating versatility. The large exterior windows install in the Aft panel with quarter turn fasteners to ease inspections.

The DART floor window kits are compatible with energy attenuating seats and sliding door compatible configurations are also available.

Also now available is the Instrument Mount Bracket Kit that may be used to mount optional instruments for vertical reference operations. The bracket kit installs in the forward, inboard corner of the interior window of any current DART Vertical Reference Floor Window Kit and includes structural provisions for the installation of customer supplied instruments.

"DART Vertical Reference Floor Window Kits are highly functional kits that ease difficult vertical reference operations. This kit has evolved based on customer feedback from a single size to multiple configurations that speak to different operational requirements and compatibility concerns." quoted Bill Beckett, General Manager, DART Aerospace Ltd.
