Aviation Specialties Unlimited Inc. (ASU) added a new Transport Canada and revised FAA STC to its growing list of STCs after successfully completing an NVIS Lighting System installation on a Sikorsky S76 B in Canada.
“This is the fifth joint STC with the FAA and Transport Canada that we have obtained for NVG use on Canadian registered aircraft,” said ASU Director of Programs Kip McDermott. “Our company has successfully partnered with both agencies to assure every detail is documented, every safety measurement is taken and every requirement is met. Our goal with every project is to ensure our customers have the best equipment, aircraft modification and training available.”
ASU also conducts initial training for pilots regarding the use of night vision goggles in conjunction with their modified aircraft.
