European Garmin Dealer Kuerzi Avionics Completes STC And Begins
G500H Installations
EASA has awarded certification to Garmin and European helicopter
and aircraft services provider Kuerzi Avionics AG for the
installation of the Garmin G500H glass cockpit in the Eurocopter
AS350. With this STC, any authorized Garmin aviation dealer can
install a G500H in an AS350 in accordance with EASA guidelines.
“Kuerzi Avionics is very proud to have worked with Garmin
to achieve the first G500H EASA STC certification,” said Ralf
Kuerzi, Managing Director of Kuerzi Avionics. “We have
selected the G500H as we consider it to be the correct avionics
solution to fulfil the requirements of our current and future
customers.” “The G500H is becoming a very popular
avionics suite with the helicopter community because of its vast
capability and flexibility,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s
vice president of marketing. “We are very pleased to work
with Kuerzi on this STC and we believe the G500H is a great way to
update AS350 helicopters so they can operate at a whole new
level.”
The G500H is an all-glass avionics system designed specifically
for the VFR Part 27 helicopter market. The primary flight display
(PFD) shows attitude, airspeed, vertical speed, altitude and
course/heading information, and the multi-function display (MFD)
has detailed moving map graphics with the helicopter’s
current position in relation to terrain, chart data, navaids, and
flight plan routings. The system offers features like
helicopter synthetic vision technology (HSVT), XM WX Satellite
Weather with NEXRAD, the ability to display video from a forward
looking infrared (FLIR) camera or other video sources, and a
helicopter-specific database with over 7,000 heliports and nearly
30,000 additional low altitude obstacles in addition to the already
extensive obstacle database found in the fixed wing G500
system.
