Avidyne and Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) last week launched their new Helix integrated flight deck as an upgrade package for in-service helicopters. The system combines Avidyne’s Helios flight management system (FMS) and the IS&S 10.4-inch flat-panel displays.

The companies said they first plan to offer the Helix retrofit package for the Sikorsky S-76C++ rotorcraft. They expect to announce pricing later this year, once they complete integration work and certification.
