DART’s Comfort Seat for the Bell 205/212/214

Dart's Comfort Seat for the Bell 205/212/214

May 7, 2009 – Dart Helicopter Services has announced that their affiliated partner, Dart Aerospace Ltd., has received EASA approval of the Dart Comfort Seat for the Bell 205/212/214 series aircraft.  TC approval was previously received and FAA approval is currently pending.

Vertical reference operations present enough challenges to pilots without the added distraction of an uncomfortable seat.  The Dart Comfort Seat increases the comfort of the seat by eliminating interference by side bolster lumbar support.  The kit consists of a durable aerospace thermoformed alloy seat bucket and covered seat cushions.  The installation requires no permanent modification to the seat and uses the existing seat (Bell p/n 205-070-798-011/-101 or equivalent). The Dart Comfort Seat is compatible with OEM seat & restraint systems.

Another Dart product of interest for vertical reference operations is the Full Vertical Reference Door Modification Kit.

"Dart recognized a niche to be filled.  The kit represents a simple and cost effective solution to one of the challenges faced by long line pilots; the discomfort of leaning into the existing lumbar support of the OEM seats.  The Dart seat installs in just minutes and since it uses the existing seat, there's no hassle or cost to procure a replacement seat."
