FAA Approves Sandel HeliTAWS for Part 27 and Part 29 AML-STCs

                    The FAA has approved Sandel HeliTAWS® for it’s first Approved Model List (AML) Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for Part 27 and Part 29.   AML-STC is similar to multi-model approval, with appropriate reuse of compliance data across TC data sheets. It allows models to be added, progressively, by updating the AML listing, provided similarity and differences are substantiated. The goal of the AML-STC is to provide more standardized installation for approved models listed on the AML. It is not a means to relax compliance to any regulatory requirements.   Sandel’s ST3400H Part 27 AML-STC covers Eurocopter AS350, B, BA, B1, B2, B3, C, D, D1 airframe models. The ST3400H Part 29 AML-STC covers Bell 412, EP, CF airframe models. The proposed list of airframes selected for the next round of GAP analysis are Bell 212, 206, 206-A, 206A-1 (OH-58A), 206B, 206B-1, 206L, 206L-1, 206L-3, 206L-4, 407, Eurocopter EC13-B4, EC130T2.   If you have a specific airframe that you would like added to the AML-STC, please let us know.   To view the AML STCs please visit http://sandel.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b8f5eb7a7e1a6b06ebd35bc9&id=ad76d89bc5&e=04c64fd5ad
