(ORLANDO, FLORIDA – March 5, 2015) United States, Boise, Idaho based Aviation Specialties Unlimited Inc., (ASU) announced today, from the Helicopter International Association (HAI) HELI-EXPO Convention in Orlando, Florida, that the company along with Vienna, Austria based Helikopter Air Transportation GmbH (HeliAir) obtained EASA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval on the civilian Airbus EC135 series.

“One of the many strengths of ASU is the number of STCs we obtain in order to better serve customers globally,” said President Jim Winkel. “In Europe, operators utilize twin engine aircraft and the EC135 series are widely used. This EASA STC allows operators the ability to modify existing aircraft cockpits for night vision compatibility. ASU not only continues to innovate with new product developments, but we also continue to utilize resources to obtain STCs to meet the needs of our customers.”

Last fall ASU and HeliAir announced their formal partnership in Europe.

“It is important for ASU and HeliAir to have an EASA STC for the NVIS retrofit for the EC135. With this STC we have the latest technology available regarding Night Vision Operation,” added HeliAir CEO Reinhard Kraxner.

ASU now has 25 STCs covering 65 makes and models of aircraft (rotary and fixed wing) around the world including STCs from the Federal Aviation Administration, EASA, Transport Canada, and Brazil. A complete list of ASU STCs can be found at www.www.asu-nvg.com/services/nvis_modifications.
