Allows Cockpit Familiarization On The Tablet Device
An industry first iPad App now available from Metro Aviation
provides customers with a familiarization and training tool for
installed equipment description, functionality and operation, among
other uses. The company plans to include the Eurocopter AS350,
EC130, EC135, EC145 and EC145T2 as well as the EC155 model type
helicopters as part of the new iPad Apps. Metro will also provide a
secure link to proprietary information, updated and current systems
descriptions and user manuals as part of the imaginative offering
from the company, all at no cost to its operational and completion
customers.
Metro Aviation is one of the largest and most comprehensive
helicopter completion facilities in the United States with a
dedicated air medical operational fleet of almost 80 aircraft from
coast to coast. Metro was most recently recognized by American
Eurocopter as the preferred air medical completion vendor for the
new EC145T2.
Additional uses for the interactive and intuitive app will allow
for the capability of detailed aircraft systems descriptions,
normal and emergency procedures explanation with options for
customer specific content. Users will also have the capability to
receive the latest information for controlled documents, new
service offerings and new equipment options from Metro Aviation via
the company's website link through the iPad App. Finally, the new
App will be eventually linked to Metro's product support site to
ease maintenance personal procurement of parts and support. A
recent new air medical completion customer plans to use the app for
systems familiarization and utilization as well as for initial and
recurrent training of medical flight team members. Metro recently
unveiled the new iPad App at the Helicopter Association
International (HAI) Heli-Expo held in Orlando, Florida.
