GVH Aerospace completes EASA STC certification for Swiss Rotor Solutions Maximum Pilot View Kit

GVH Aerospace is proud to announce the completion of the EASA STC for the Swiss Rotor Solutions Maximum Pilot View Kit, the next generation aerial work safety and visibility solution for the Airbus H125/AS350 helicopter family.

The Maximum Pilot View Kit revolutionizes pilot visibility and operational safety via a completely new design, providing the pilot with an uninhibited field of view below and to the right-hand side of the aircraft. The modification adds a new single piece bubble door to the aircraft, offering a significant increase in lateral visibility, and pilot headroom when leaning to the right, even when wearing a helmet. A large lower viewing aperture and transparent fuselage window fairing significantly increases the vertical field of view forward, aft and directly underneath the aircraft by a factor of ten, compared to existing solutions. The MPVK dramatically improves the capability and safety to perform demanding operations such as sling loading, fire-fighting, SAR/EMS, confined area operations, aerial survey, seismic, law enforcement and any other tasks performed in close proximity to terrain, obstacles and ground crews or when operating at remote landing sites.

GVH Aerospace is proud to be able to support Swiss Rotor Solutions as the EASA certification partner.

To date, Swiss Rotor Solutions has received multiple orders and is ready to supply and support installation throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand. FAA/TCCA/ANAC STC validation is in progress and expected shortly.
