DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce that their subsidiary partner Apical Industries has received Transport Canada approval of their Cable Cutters Kit for Eurocopter EC135 P1, T1, P2, T2, P2+, T2+ model helicopters. FAA and EASA approvals have been previously received.

The Cable Cutters Kit is designed to protect the helicopter during a wire strike by providing the capability to cut a cable or wire before catastrophic damage occurs.

The EC135 Cable Cutters Kit significantly reduces the possibility of a cable or wire entering the cockpit and the chance of flight control damage. Similar cable/wire cutting devises 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 was tested to verify the capability to cut a cable having a 14,000 lb tensile strength. The kit contains skidtube mounted deflectors and wiper deflectors as standard. The kit also includes everything necessary to install the kit and is compatible with, but does not require, any previously installed OEM fixed provisions. An optional GPS antenna mount kit is also available, which allows an antenna to be placed on the upper cutter deflector for ideal satellite reception.

Apical’s EC135 Cable Cutters Kit Features:
* Upper Cutter/Deflector & Upper Cutter Support Struts
* Windshield Deflectors
* Lower Cutter/Deflector & Mounting Support and Struts
* Skid Deflectors
