Aerobytes & CHC Europe
Aerobytes
is delighted to announce that helicopter giant CHC Europe has selected
'Aerobytes FDM' for its forthcoming Flight Data Monitoring program.
CHC
Europe
is part of the world largest helicopter group - Canadian Helicopter
Corporation (based in Vancouver, Canada).
CHC
Europe
operates around sixty helicopters providing offshore transport support to the
Oil and Gas industry. Types
include Super Puma L/L1 and L2, Eurocopter Dauphin, Sikorsky S-61, S-76 and
the new-to-market S-92 transport helicopter.
CHC
will benefit from the 3D animation that is built in to Aerobytes FDM and which
has been enhanced to show offshore installations, including mobile rigs and
ships. Other than this
modification, the Aerobytes software is so flexible that no other changes were
required to adapt it to support rotary-wing operations.
Aerobytes'
uniquely powerful analysis system is particularly well suited to the flight
envelopes and characteristics of helicopters which can be significantly more
complex than those of fixed-wing aircraft.
CHC
Europe's Head of Flight Standards, Tore Villard, says:
"We
are looking forward to entering the world of Flight Data Monitoring and
believe that this has the potential to become the largest leap to enhanced
safety in the helicopter industry in a very long time.
Our
main objective for selection of an analysis program has been, easy to
understand, a high degree of automation, and flexibility to change parameters
and adopt new aircraft types.
We
believe we have found this in selecting Aerobytes as our supplier of software
and services."
