FREEFLIGHT SYSTEMS announced that
Helicopter Institute, an OEM-alternative pilot
training provider, has selected FreeFlight
Systems' Terrain Series radar altimeters for
its fleet of Bell 206, Bell 407, Bell 505, Airbus
AS350, MD500, MD600, and Robinson R44
aircraft. According to the company, Helicopter
Institute is implementing FreeFlight Systems'
RA-5500 and RA-4500 MK II devices as an
alternative method of compliance to mitigate
interference from the recent rollout of C-band
5G telecommunications networks.
" Helicopter Institute's mission is to improve
helicopter safety, one pilot at a time, " said
Randy Rowles, president at Helicopter Institute.
" Recognizing the risk to flight safety in the face
of potential radar altimeter C-band spectrum
interference, it was clear that we needed to
equip our aircraft with the Terrain Series product
line to ensure continued safe operations while
also educating prospective pilots on the need to
be proactive amidst changing environments. "
" In helicopters, radar altimeters feed critical
altitude data to terrain avoidance and warning
systems, which are integral to the safety of
pilots flying both VFR and IFR, " said Anthony
Rios, president of FreeFlight Systems. " It is
gratifying to see our 5G-tolerant radar altimetry
solution adopted by helicopter operators to
ensure this data is not compromised. "
The Terrain Series incorporates the latest
Ethernet connectivity standards for new platforms
while retaining an analog ARINC 552 interface for
integration with legacy indicators and components.
For additional display options, FreeFlight Systems
offers the RAD45 stand-alone indicator which meets
EASA AMC1 SPA.NVIS.110(b) guidelines.
