EASA Validates Ikhana RWMI DHC-6-200HG

Validated By European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)

Ikhana Aircraft Services (Ikhana) announced that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has validated Ikhana’s RWMI DHC-6-200HG modification. The RWMI DHC-6-200HG is now an FAA, Transport Canada, and EASA approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) allowing aircraft operations to 12,500 pounds.

“Validation of our RWMI DHC-6-200HG STC provides added capabilities for operators of DHC-6-100 and -200 Twin Otters who follow European EASA regulations.” States Mr. John A. Zublin President and CEO of Ikhana. “The legacy -100 and -200 series aircraft tend to have lower empty weights, by approximately 300 to 500 pounds, when compared to a similarly equipped DHC-6-300 aircraft. This makes our DHC-6-200HG an attractive alternative for adding payload capacity and revenue.”
 
The RWMI DHC-6-200HG STC increases the payload capabilities of the basic DHC-6-100/-200 aircraft from 11,579 pounds to 12,500 pounds, providing an increase of 921 pounds or nearly 8%. Operations are allowed to the full 620 shaft horsepower of its PT6A-27 engines, effectively transforming a DHC-6-200 to match the capabilities of a DHC-6-300 aircraft.

Headquartered at the French Valley Airport (F70) in Murrieta, California, Ikhana holds FAA, EASA, Transport Canada, and Fiji repair station approvals, FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), and is a Viking Air Factory Endorsed Service Center. Ikhana has a proven reputation for developing unique engineered solutions across a wide variety of aircraft platforms and diverse customer base including extensive experience in the DHC-6 Twin Otter, King Air, and Gulfstream airframes.
