DART Helicopter Services (DHS) is pleased to announce receipt of FAA certification for another new product from their subsidiary partner Apical Industries.  Earlier this week Apical received FAA approval for their A119/AW119MKII Cable Cutters Kit.  EASA approval is pending.

The Apical A119 Cable Cutters Kit provides a means of protecting the helicopter during a cable/wire strike by providing the capability to cut a cable/wire before catastrophic damage occurs. The kit is designed to reduce the possibly of a cable/wire entering the cockpit and to reduce the chance of flight control damage. Similar cable/wire cutting devices have proven to be effective even during multiple wire strikes. The kit incorporates both an upper and lower cutter and each cutter is designed with high strength cutting blades. The Apical cutter design was tested to verify the capability to cut multiple cables with a combined tensile strength of 32,100 lbs. The Apical kit also contains machined deflectors for the wiper posts and fresh air scoop.

“This new kit is a welcome addition to our expanding line of Cable Cutter products and we are very pleased to be able to offer this safety enhancement to A119/AW119MKII operators”, stated Steve Joseph, Vice President of US Operations, DART Helicopter Services.
