Heli-Lynx introduces VFR TwinStar mod
Canadian firm Heli-Lynx Helicopter Services launched the TwinStar 355FX mod at Heli-Expo last month.

Canadian firm Heli-Lynx Helicopter Services launched the TwinStar 355FX mod at Heli-Expo last month. The program, which has received Transport Canada approval and was awaiting FAA certification at press time, essentially modifies an IFR Eurocopter AS 355F2 TwinStar into a twin-engine version of the VFR AS 350 AStar.

“The majority of TwinStars are flown in VFR operations, and the electrical system required to support IFR in the TwinStar is a constant source of problems,” claimed Heli-Lynx CEO Mike Whitter. “The 355FX incorporates a completely re-engineered VFR electrical system using proven off-the-shelf components.”
