Certified: Onboard Systems AS355 Cargo Hook Kit

FAA Certification Received, Transport Canada, EASA Applied For

Onboard Systems International's  new replacement cargo hook kit for the Eurocopter AS355 aircraft has been certified by the FAA and is currently in production, the company announced Monday . Onboard has also submitted the kit to Transport Canada and EASA for certification in Canada and Europe, respectively.

The new replacement kit for the Eurocopter AS355 features Onboard’s innovative Talon Keeperless Cargo Hook. The keeperless design eliminates the possibility of losing a load that inadvertently gets past the keeper by replacing the keeper with a unique load beam system that stays open after the load is jettisoned. The keeperless hook design can safely handle a wide variety of load ring sizes and styles and offers many other safety and maintenance benefits.

“While Onboard offers a full suspension system for the Eurocopter AS355, we’ve received many requests from operators of the OEM-supplied system who are interested in replacing their legacy hook with an Onboard hook,” said Karsten Lemmon, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Onboard Systems. “This new kit was developed in response to these requests, and will give operators a cost-effective option to switch out their old hook for an Onboard hook.”

Onboard Systems International designs and manufactures helicopter cargo hook equipment under its Talon brand, including belly hooks, cargo hook suspension systems, onboard weighing systems and remote hooks.
