Honeywell receives certification to keep helicopters connected

Honeywell has received Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) — issued by a governmental agency for approval to modify an aircraft from its original design — for its connectivity and condition-based maintenance products for a variety of helicopters. The new certification enables Honeywell’s Aspire 200 satellite communications system and Honeywell Health and Usage Monitoring Systems to be used globally. These offerings will help helicopter operators around the world throughout a variety of missions, including search and rescue, oil and gas, air ambulance, and law enforcement.
