Dart Gets Canadian Nod for New Emergency Float System
Intended for use on the Airbus H130 family, the system features quick release fittings that allow for removal of much of the unit in under five minutes.

Aftermarket equipment provider Dart Aerospace (Booth C2010) received STC approval from Transport Canada for its new EC130/H130 emergency float system (EFS). Suitable for both the legacy EC130B4 and current-production H130, the new system offers two improvements over the previous version: compatibility with OEM fixed provisions and the addition of quick-release fittings, which will allow for 70 percent of the kit’s weight to be removed in less than five minutes without any tools.
