Boost Systems gains EASA approval for H125/AS350 cargo basket and Starlink mount.

Boost Systems has received EASA approval for its H125/AS350 cargo basket, boarding steps and Starlink mount, expanding the availability of the company’s certified mission equipment for helicopter operators throughout Europe.

The EASA approved stainless steel cargo basket product line is available in multiple configurations, with options providing up to 500lbs of cargo capacity and up to 22 cubic feet of cargo volume.

“We are building several different stainless-steel cargo baskets with a variety of features based on the operator’s mission,” says VP of operations Jeff Yarnold. “Our goal is to give operators practical, certified solutions that improve the capabilities of their aircraft.”

“Our most recent value-added product for the cargo baskets is our Starlink mount,” he adds. “This solution enhances what we can offer operators in the field. With this capability, crews can integrate approved Starlink connectivity into their aircraft, providing enhanced real-time communication, data access and overall mission effectiveness.”
