BendixKing, Airwork certify cockpit upgrades for light, medium-size helicopters:

18 July 2019:BendixKing, a subsidiary of Honeywell and Airwork New Zealand has joined forces to develop Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for cockpit upgrades of light and medium-size general aviation helicopters. The AeroVue Touch Integrated Flight Deck by BendixKing is qualified to be installed on Part 27 light helicopters.

The STC for this suite will be initially developed for the Airbus AS350 helicopter by Airwork with the help of BendixKing's engineering team.

The solution draws on Honeywell's expertise in commercial and military aircraft programmes as well as existing Primus Epic and Apex flight decks, will permit operators of utility helicopters to swap their older analogue gauges with advanced technology displays like that of a complex business or commercial aircraft.
