The Polish-built PZL SW-4 was last week put on the Brazilian register for the first time – the local demonstrator aircraft is now officially registered as PP-MHJ.  The helicopter has been in the South American country since at least August 2011, when it was presented at the LABACE (Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition) show at Sao Paulo in a black and gold colour scheme and flying with the Polish registration SP-SWV as seen below.

Local airworthiness organisation ANAC has issued a type certificate for the SW-4 which can be viewed here.

The SW-4 is distributed in Brazil by the First SA group from Santa Catarina, who are targetting sales of twelve SW-4s by the end of 2012.
