DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce that their affiliated partner Helifab has received Brazilian approval of their Baggage Door Actuator for the 212 / 412 / 412EP models of aircraft.  FAA approval has been previously received.

The actuator holds the baggage door open to facilitate loading and unloading.  This installation replaces a brass chain installed by the manufacturer that acts as door stop.

The tail boom baggage door actuator installation, installs a pneumatic actuator on Bell Models 212 and 412 series helicopters with a composite tail boom baggage door.  The actuator mounts to the baggage compartment ceiling and the compartment door.

This installation controls the rate of opening and prevents the door from opening past normal open position and help prevent damage to the door and airframe.
