Boost Systems has received a Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) supplemental type certificate for its quick-release cargo basket on Airbus Helicopters H125 and AS350/355 models. This adds to Boost's line of certified human external cargo systems, personal carrying device systems, and related training services, the Vancouver, Canada-based company said.

FAA certification remains pending. “With a cargo capacity of 500 pounds, the Boost basket offers the largest cargo capacity of all H125/AS350/355 baskets available on the market today,” explained company vice president of operations Jeff Yarnold.
