SANDEL AVIONICS of Vista, California, announced that the Russian Aviation
Authorities and MIL Design Bureau issued an official service installation bulletin,
equivalent to an FAA STC, for Sandel ST3400H HeliTAWS installations in the Mi-8
AMT and Mi-8 MTV-1 helicopters. According to Sandel, this makes HeliTAWS the
only non-Russian manufactured HTAWS approved for installation in Russia.
"Based on our knowledge of the market and demand from our customers to
install HeliTAWS, we completed the intensive Russian process for approval with
Sandel and UTair Aviation," said BORIS NEKRASOV, president of APG/NEBO.
"Sandel HeliTAWS is setting the worldwide standard for HTAWS."
According to Sandel, the certification requirement was driven heavily by UTair,
the largest helicopter operator in Russia. HeliTAWS is a 3-ATI self-contained,
helicopter terrain awareness and warning system. Its proprietary alerting
technology, TruAlert, enables pilots to take off, cruise, hover and land at off-airport
locations without triggering nuisance alerts.
"At this time, Sandel, UTAir and APG/NEBO are working together to extend
the approval for the entire family of Mi-8/17 helicopters and others," said JERRY
HENRY, director of sales for Sandel. "To do this, we will continue to work with
the MIL Design Bureau, Russian State Scientific and Research Institute of Civil
Aviation, and Airborne Equipment Certification Center of Russia."
