Vector Aerospace Corporation, a global independent provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Vector Aerospace Helicopter Services-North America, one of the world’s leading providers of helicopter MRO services, has added the AS332L1 model to its FAA-approved cockpit voice and flight data recorder (CVFDR) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). This is an addition to the FAA STC approval it received last year on the CVFDR for AS332C and AS332L helicopter models.
“We are very proud to add the AS332L1 to our CVFDR STC,” stated Elvis Moniz, vice president, operations in Langley, B.C. “This is a unique offering which provides Vector Aerospace with a competitive advantage in the market, and we are pleased to offer the CVFDR to AS332L1 operators across the globe.”
The CVFDR retrofit package features a light-weight, solid state, low power consumption state of the art CVFDR with an underwater acoustic beacon and a six year battery-life warranty with an optional integrated Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) requiring no additional wiring. A digital flight data acquisition unit is also integrated in the system, capable of accepting over 50 flight data parameters. The CVFDR system is rated at 50,000 hours MTBF and meets Part 135 operating requirements.
Vector Aerospace is a pioneer in the development and deployment of innovative helicopter and aviation solutions for both commercial and military helicopter applications. Its expertise in helicopter avionics, rewiring, glass cockpit upgrades, and STC development is delivered by highly skilled employees, servicing a global customer network.
