<p>The Sandel Avionics ST3400 HeliTaws received EASA technical standard order (ETSO) approval, and now the company’s entire product line is FAA and EASA certified. The HeliTaws ETSO approvals include C113 for airborne multipurpose electronic displays; C194 for helicopter terrain awareness and warning systems (HTaws); 2C87 for airborne low-range radio altimeters; and C118 for Tcas I. The 3-ATI HeliTaws includes Sandel’s TruAlert technology, which eliminates nuisance alerts when helicopter pilots take off, cruise, hover and land at off-airport locations where a normal Taws would issue alerts.</p>
