DART Helicopter Services Announces FAA and Transport Canada Approval of new 3-point Shoulder Harness Kits for Bell 205/212/214/412/UH-1
May 28, 2007 - DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce that their affiliated partner, DART Aerospace Ltd., has received FAA and Transport Canada approval of their newly designed 3-point Shoulder Harness Kits for the Bell 205/212/214/412/UH-1. These 3-point kits feature a Diagonal Shoulder Harness on an Inertia Reel complete with an independent or integrated Lap Belt. EASA approval is pending.
Engineered to meet the contract requirements of both the United States Department of Interior and the United States Forest Service, DART shoulder harness kits are now available in two new configurations. "This product is the direct result of the feedback we received from our US Forest Service operators," said DART CEO Jeff Shapiro. The Integrated Kit (shoulder harness joined to lap belt) has been specifically designed for rappel aircraft and has a single point metal to metal quick release mechanism. The Independent Kit (shoulder harness separates from lap belt) incorporates a distinctive large push button release mechanism which provides an alternative to the lever style release.
Additional product highlights include:
- Minimal install time - no cutting or sewing of the thermal blankets is required and installation design utilizes transfer drilling and existing holes in aircraft
- Lap belts are installed on the OEM lap belt rings
- Brass grommets and tools required for installation are provided with kit
- Meets requirements of US DOT Advisory Circular AC 21-34 and of Chapter 9 of AC 43.13-2A
- Designed to be comfortable and snug fitting
