PINEY FLATS, TN -- Dart Helicopter Services announces that its affiliated partner, DART Aerospace Ltd., has received FAA approval of its Glareshield for the Bell 212, 412, 412CF, 412EP series of helicopters. Transport Canada approval was received September 2008. EASA approval is pending.
Dart's Glareshield shades the instrument panel for improved viewing and is constructed of UV-resistant aerospace grade thermoformed alloy that maintains its integrity when subjected to extremes of heat and cold. The Dart Glareshield is designed to support glareshield mounted instrumentation.
Dart's Glareshield is pre-painted matte black and has a simple installation which includes aluminum doublers that install permanently and allow the Glareshield to be quickly removed for replacement or to ease work behind the instrument panel. Once installed, the Dart Glareshield allows the operator access to the instrument panel in minutes without the need to remove the entire glareshield installation.
"Having a Dart Glareshield installed will translate ultimately in maintenance cost savings and reduced down time by allowing not only for easy replacement but also by improving access to the instruments for maintenance," says Bill Beckett, General Manager of Dart Aerospace Ltd.
