Van Horn LongRanger Blades Receive Brazil, Canada Nods
Brazilian and Canadian approval followed U.S. FAA STC in August.

Tempe, Arizona-based Van Horn Aviation is expanding the market for its composite 206L LongRanger main rotor blades with STC validations from Canada and Brazil. Canadian STC approval was granted on December 3 after the Brazilian ANAC greenlighted the STC on November 29. These approvals followed an FAA STC nod in August and both cover the 206L-1, -3, and -4 fleets. In addition, Transport Canada validation applies to 206Ls.
