ADAC Air Rescue Gets The Milestone Com Unit
The recent delivery of an EC135 to ADAC Air Rescue by Eurocopter
marks the 1000th such aircraft to be equipped with a Becker
Avionics DVCS6100 digital audio and intercom system installed. The
EC135 light twin-engine multi-purpose helicopter, along with the
Becker DVCS have been very successful products over the last
decade.
ADAC Air Rescue will utilize the aircraft primarily for HEMS
missions. Klaus Fruehwirth, Vice President Sales and Marketing
stated, “The DVCS6100 is the ideal system for HEMS
operations, due to the excellent Man-Machine-Interface, outstanding
field reliability, and its crystal-clear audio quality. Crew
resource management training emphasizes that communication between
pilots, crew and controller is critical to avoid human error and
consequential accidents. Aviation communication is always
vulnerable to performance limitations due to verbal communication;
therefore crystal clear audio system quality is of crucial
importance to aviation safety. Operators have to be able to
communicate effectively in all stages of flight. The DVCS 6100
digital audio-intercommunication system fulfills the highest
requirements for audio system quality and reliability, which
results in a higher level of safety.”
The DVCS system installed in the ADAC EC135 is comprised of one
Remote Electronic Unit (REU) 6100, two Audio Control Panel (ACU)
6100’s for pilot and copilot, and one ACU6101 Audio Control
Panel for the medical cabin.
