All Models Are Covered By The Type Certificate
The FAA has added all models of the Eurocopter Deutschland
EC-135 to FAA STC # SR02362AK, allowing for the installation of
Max-Viz EVS-1500 dual optical zoom infrared Enhanced Vision System
(EVS) on the Eurocopter Deutschland EC-135 helicopter. Max-Viz and
One Sky Aviation announced the All Models List (AML) addition
Wednesday.

"This STC currently encompasses the helicopter models associated
with both the H9EU and H88EU Type Certificate Data Sheets and
includes some of One Sky Aviation's most advanced design features.
The inclusion of a remote cyclic switch (instead of just a single
panel mounted electro-optical switch) provides the capability to
change the field of view (FoV) of the sensor, which has a pilot
controlled optical zoom feature" states Bob Yerex, Vice President
of Sales for Max-Viz Inc. Ergonomic design changes being
incorporated by One Sky Aviation improve the overall man/machine
interface, which directly relates to an improvement in the overall
human factors and safety associated with these STC designs.
The EVS-1500 is already available on the EC-135 through the
Eurocopter factory in Donauworth, Germany, however, this STC will
support the legacy and large numbers of aftermarket platforms and
make this capability available to operators who are aware of the
safety and effectiveness of EVS in night and adverse weather
operations.
"The EC-135 is one of the most broadly utilized rotary wing
platforms within the industry," said Cary Foster, Owner of One Sky
Aviation, the STC owner and developer. "The incorporation of a new
generation latching logic relay switch from ViviSun, gives us the
ability to include the control mounted switches. We have worked
very closely with Max-Viz to develop this STC to fit the wide
configuration and operational needs of the EC-135 community ... I
think we have clearly hit the mark with this design and aircraft
interface".
