Enstrom Helicopter Corporation signed a contract for six  480B-G turbine helicopters with LOM PRAHA TRADE a.s. in the Czech Republic. The Enstrom Representatives in the Czech Republic, Dan Tucek and Roland VanHees from DSA, provided the coordination for marketing, flight demonstrations, sales support and contract negotiations for this program.

Known as the 480B-G, Enstrom’s turbine-powered model is equipped with the Garmin G1000H, offering glass cockpit capability for this helicopter.  This equipment, coupled with the stability and easy maneuverability of the 480B, makes for the perfect training aircraft. “We looked at several aircraft models prior to deciding on the Enstrom 480B-G. said Miroslav Hejna, CEO of LOM PRAHA TRADE. a.s.  We believe the aircraft and the Enstrom team are the best choice for the long term.”

The contract plan has 2 480BG helicopters to be delivered in early 2018 followed by 4 later in the year.  This also includes spares, tools, and both pilot and maintenance training at the factory. Of the 6 helicopters, LOM PRAHA TRADE will be using 4 of the Enstrom 480B-Gs for training the military pilots. “The Enstrom 480B has proven to be the perfect ship for training in the military setting, said Tracy Biegler, President and CEO of Enstrom. Moving from the 480 to a larger aircraft provides a seamless transition.”  The remaining two aircraft will be used by LOM PRAHA TRADE a.s. for pilot training.
