First Maximum Pilot View Kit to Scandinavia

Swiss Rotor Solutions announces that the sling-load specialist Stockholms Helikoptertjänst becomes the launch customer for its AS 350 Maximum Pilot View Kit in Scandinavia. The kit will be installed on SHT’s newly purchased AS350B3, which arrived from France on 17 November.

SHT says that the kit will improve safety and efficiency on external-load operations, and that the kit will give the AS350 “near-Lama” characteristics in terms of visibility and precision.

SHT says that the helicopter will operate parallel to the company’s sling-load Lama, which is due for retirement within a few years. Although the company is not new to B3s, this is the first one to be purchased by SHT. It will join the current fleet of one Lama, one AS355, two MD500s, one Long Ranger, one R44 and one Schweizer 300. The Maximum Pilot View Kit will be mounted on the B3 this winter.
