Swiss Rotor Solutions has certified its Maximum Pilot View Kit (MPVK), a replacement for the right cockpit door in the Airbus AS350/H125 that gives pilots a much wider field of view during long-line operations and other types of challenging utility helicopter flying. The MPVK received EASA certification on December 21, with the assistance of certification partner GVH Aerospace, which will provide installation and maintenance support. Certification in other countries, including the U.S., Canada and Brazil, is expected to follow shortly. One of the first helicopters to receive the MPVK is a new H125 equipped with Garmin’s G500 display and the Genesys Aerosystems HeliSas autopilot, which is covered in the supplemental type certificate.
