Contact Aviation Completes Cool City Avionics Autopilot Installation

HAP-100 Installed Aboard Robinson R-44 Helicopter 'Squawk Free'

Cool City Avionics congratulates Contact Aviation in Waterford, Michigan on the successful completion of their first Cool City Avionics HAP-100 autopilot installation.

The installation was completed on a Robinson R-44 helicopter. John Shirk, Managing Director of Contact Aviation, reports: “The HAP-100 was delivered on time, on budget, squawk free, and is performing perfectly.” Most importantly, Shirk says, “the customer is extremely happy.”
 
The HAP-100 is a 2-axis autopilot, one of a family of lightweight, professional-grade, 2-axis and 3-axis autopilots with optional Stability Augmentation Systems, the first such systems to be certified under the new FAA TSO-C198 and RTCA MOPS-325.

The systems are affordable for installation in small to medium-sized helicopters. Introductory prices for systems for the R-44 helicopter range from $34,995 to $67,995, plus installation kits and installation.
