Meeker Aviation has received EASA approval for its utility step mount for all models of the Airbus H145 aircraft, including the newest D3 variant. This utility step mount has already received FAA and Transport Canada certification.

"Our very popular H145/BK117 utility step mount provides operators with a robust design, dual payload capability and exceptional camera stability," says president Cal Meeker. "We are pleased to now be able to offer this product to our customers worldwide so that they can take advantage of the many benefits our side step mount provides."

The H145 utility step mount offers unobstructed views and lower vibrations than other mounts on the market, making it an excellent choice for surveillance missions, electronic news gathering and aerial film work. It is easy to install, bolting directly to the airframe, and can be quickly removed from the aircraft as needed.

The utility step mount provides a 125lb (56.7kg) payload capacity on the front hardpoints and is designed to accept a wide variety of camera and sensor equipment. It provides a 100lb (45.4kg) payload capacity on aft hard points for microwave downlinks, FLIR cameras, loudspeakers and searchlights.
