A Certificado de Tipo Suplementario was issued for the products covered under FAA STC SR00898SE, which includes the cargo hook suspension systems and Onboard Weighing Systems manufactured by Onboard Systems for use on these BELL aircraft models.

“We’re pleased to be able to respond to the requests of our Mexican customers, who wanted certification for our cargo hook equipment on these two aircraft models,” said Karsten Lemmon, Vice President, SALES and Marketing for Onboard Systems. “The Bell 206L and 407 are popular aircraft, and our dependable, cost-effective cargo hook kits will enable our Mexican operators to expand their mission capabilities.”
