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.
