Over 450 Trial Installations Performed To Date
In response to the FAA’s recent notification that the
highly-anticipated Alaska Capstone project is being integrated into
the US Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) program,
Acrohelipro Global Services, Inc. is notifying operators that it is
ready to provide the required upgrade services for operators
throughout the Gulf of Mexico region.
"In successfully performing more than 450 ADS-B and glass
cockpit installations during the Alaska Capstone program trial,
Acrohelipro is exceptionally prepared to assist Gulf of Mexico, and
other operators in making the transition to the newer air traffic
management systems," explains Elvis Moniz, Director of Avionics for
Acrohelipro. "In specific, we have valuable experience that comes
with completing over 450 successful installations, and the
expertise acquired from working on the initial integration and
subsequent trouble-shooting processes that were derived from the
implementation of this new, highly-technical system." In addition
to these customer-focused advantages, Acrohelipro is capable of
supporting the ADS-B installation work from either of its two main
avionics facilities; located in Andalusia, Alabama and Langley,
British Columbia.
"We continually look for innovative, economical and reliable
technologies that will support operators by offering them enhanced
reliability and safety," says Moniz. "This is part of our on-going
committment to provide our customer’s top-quality, expedient
and economical helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul
solutions."
In terms of the ADS-B program and
Gulf of Mexico operators, this means they have at their disposal an
experienced company with a proven track-record for prompt, expert
installations and retrofits that meet the new FAA requirements.
Moniz states that through the avionics resources available via
Acrohelipro’s Andalusia, Alabama facility, the company is
strategically positioned to carry out this work, effective
immediately.
