DART Helicopter Services is pleased to announce FAA approval of DART Aerospace Ltd.’s (DAS) newly improved Auxiliary Fuel Tank for the AS350 series of aircraft and the EC 130 B4.

The newly improved Auxiliary Fuel Tank provides additional fuel capacity that can be transferred to the main fuel tank as desired in order to extend the aircraft’s operational range.  After initial installation, the tank is easily removed and re-installed for maximum operational flexibility.  Additional provisions kits may be installed in other aircraft to allow the tank to be quickly transferred.  Additionally, access panels have been added to the design for improved ease of maintenance.
