Enhances Helicopter Safety During Wire-Strike Events DART Aerospace has received an updated Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) for its cable cutter system, now approved for installation on Airbus H145 BK117D3 models. The DART cable cutter kit is designed to enhance helicopter safety during wire strikes. By providing a reliable means of cutting cables or wires before catastrophic damage occurs, the system helps protect both the aircraft and its occupants. The design reduces the probability of wires entering the cockpit and minimizes the risk of flight-control damage, which are critical factors in maintaining aircraft integrity and control.
