StandardAero anticipates that the StableLight Supplemental Type Certification (STC) will receive FAA certification this summer.
StandardAero will soon unveil the first 4-Axis autopilot available for retrofit on AS350 helicopters with demonstration flights. The autopilot is developed in partnership with Thales and is known as StableLight. It is equipped with an AS350 test rotorcraft which will be located at the Dallas Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center.
Christian Blagborne, Technical Sales Manager for StandardAero’s Helicopters business unit said, “These flight demos will enable operators to feel the advantages of a true 4-axis autopilot. They will experience its hands-off capabilities and see how pilot workload is reduced while both mission efficiency and safety are significantly increased.”
