Maxcraft Avionics Receives STC For Category 'A' Urban Operations

Authorization Covers Ground Level And Elevated Heliports

Transport Canada has granted STC SH16-53 for Category “A” Urban Operations from Ground Level and Elevated Heliports to Maxcraft Helicopters.

Under the STC, Sikorsky S76C+/C++ aircraft equipped with this STC can achieve operational approval for takeoff and landings at H1 designated heliports.

Multiple Canadian EMS rotorcraft operators faced suspension of H1 heliport operations at critical care infrastructures. Helijet voluntarily stopped landing at up to seven BC hospital helipads in its Sikorsky 76C+ air ambulances when questions were raised by Transport Canada. This was resolved through extensive work between Helijet, Transport Canada, and the Design Services team of Maxcraft Avionics.

"This outcome is a real credit to the hard work and collaboration of our government and service-partners to put patients’ interests first,” said Linda Lupini, executive vice president of Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) and BCEHS."

Under the STC:

  • Take–offs and landings are approved during the day and night operations.
  • Ground Level and Elevated Heliport minimum sizes are reduced.
  • A Radar Altimeter scaling control for the EDZ-756 EFIS may be added where existing Rad Alt Indicators don’t meet minimum requirements.
  • Vertical visibility windows related to Offshore Heliport operations are not required.
  • A training program must be implemented for operational approval.
