Genesys Aerosystems and XP Services are developing an add-on supplemental type certificate (STC) to the Black Hawk Alpha STC to modify the Sikorsky UH-60L “Lima” Black Hawk with a full Genesys avionics suite. Completion of the STC is expected in the fourth quarter, and Seaview Aviation of Camarillo, California, will supply the first two modified UH-60Ls “for their contract deliveries to an Australian customer,” according to Genesys.
The upgraded avionics include Genesys’ IDU-680 displays with synthetic vision and built-in flight management system; helicopter terrain awareness and warning system; georeferenced hover vector; interface with Genesys’ open architecture system integration symbology toolset; dual GPS/SBAS nav receivers, U.S. Coast Guard search-and-rescue patterns; user-defined instrument approaches; engine indication and crew alerting system; four-axis IFR-certified autopilot; and Genesys digital radio navcoms.
