“DART Aerospace is pleased to have acquired the JCA STC for the Auxiliary Fuel Tank. This innovative product is designed to increase the helicopter’s operational range while still allowing for versatility of easily removal, re-install or transfer the tank to additional aircraft. This option makes it a cost effective option as it then becomes an accessory not just for a single aircraft, but for the entire fleet. The Auxiliary Tank has been well received in Canada, Australia and Brazil” Quote Bill Beckett, General Manager DART Aerospace Ltd.
