Bear Paw H145
Alpine Aerotech has certified installation of its Bear Paw on the Airbus H145D3.

Alpine Aerotech, a Canadian helicopter MRO based in Kelowna, British Columbia, has received a Transport Canada Civil Aviation supplemental type certificate (STC) for its Bear Paw on the Airbus H145D3. The company also received an FAA STC to install the Astronautics AFI 4700 RoadRunner EFIS on Bell 212 and 412 helicopters.

Air-ambulance provider Stars worked with Alpine Aerotech on the Bear Paw STC, to support its EMS operations in challenging terrain across Western Canada. The lightweight Bear Paw kit features a quick-clamp installation system and ice grippers. “The certified kit enhances skid floatation on soft or uneven surfaces, such as snow, mud, and sand—ensuring safer landings and takeoffs in remote locations,” according to Alpine Aerotech.
