Langley, British Columbia - ACROHELIPRO Global Services Inc. (ACROHELIPRO), a subsidiary of Vector Aerospace Corporation, and Intelligent Automation Corporation (IAC) announces that ACROHELIPRO has been selected to develop a new Supplemental Type Certificate for the installation of IAC’s new vibration monitoring system, developed for installation in Era Helicopters, LLC (Era) fleet of AS 350's and A119 helicopters.
Elvis Moniz, ACROHELIPRO-Director of Avionics, says ACROHELIPRO is pleased to team with IAC, in support of Era’s operations. “We are always investigating the best, most cost-effective products that improve safety, and best match the helicopter operator's requirements. ACROHELIPRO has extensive experience installing complex CVRFDR/vibration monitoring systems in a variety of North Sea and off-shore helicopter applications. Because of our level of hands-on experience and knowledge, believe Era has made an excellent choice in selecting IAC's solution for their AS350 and A119 helicopter fleets.”
The new Vibration Health-Flight Data Monitoring System (VHFDM) provides a means to perform automatic detection and identification of mechanical faults and flight data monitoring for use in operator programs such as the Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) and the Helicopter Operational Monitoring Program (HOMP) at a lower cost and weight than similar systems.
The system monitors the main rotor system, engines, gearboxes, tail rotor drive system, and accessories, and interfaces with a portable PC for “at-aircraft” fault determination and maintenance recommendations. Internet Based Support tools Intelligent Machinery Diagnostic System - Server (IMDS Server) will be integrated into the system to provide centralized data management, archiving and advanced data trending from Era’s operations around the world.
