FAA Approves DART Helicopter Round-I-Beam Skidtubes

For Bell 210 and AB412/AB412EP Aircraft

DART Helicopter Services announced that its affiliated partner, DART Aerospace, extended the existing FAA approval of its Round-I-Beam™ skidtube for the Bell 204/205/212/412 models to include the Bell 210 and AB412/AB412EP models.

The Round-I-Beam™ skidtubes are LH/RH interchangeable and compatible with both DART and OEM crosstubes. They feature high strength CNC machined-split saddles so that the central I-beam web absorbs most of the impact on landing and the tube maintains its structural integrity. According to DART, even with the addition of a central web, the weight is comparable to that of conventional skidtubes.

The primary focus of DART Helicopter Services, a privately-held sales, marketing and manufacturing company, is developing innovative STC'd products and creating sales networks for aerospace manufacturers. DART'S affiliated companies, DART Aerospace Inc. and Apical Industries Inc. own over 300 STC's (supplemental type certificates) and manufacture over 500 products.
