Bell 206 L Series Radar Altimeter Mount Kit Now Available

PINEY FLATS, TN - Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, has received FAA STC approval for a radar altimeter mount kit for the Bell 206L, Bell 206L-1, Bell 206L-3 and Bell 206L-4 helicopter models.

The radar altimeter mount kit provides two flat mounting locations for installation of either a Bendix King KA-54A or Sensor Systems Inc. S67-2002 altimeter antenna on the bottom of the tailboom. Installing the antennas on the tailboom allows for additional optional equipment or large mission equipment to be installed on the belly of the aircraft. The radar altimeter mount kit is engineered for ease of installation and each kit includes detailed instructions, drawings and hardware.

"The FAA STC approval of the radar altimeter mount kit provides our Bell 206 series operators additional functionality and increased mission performance,” says Chad Nimrick, director of both Aeronautical Accessories and CSS Engineering.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommends addition of a radar altimeter to improve flight safety for HEMS aircraft or public operators conducting air medical transportation.
