DART Helicopter Services Continues Expansion

Feb. 13, 2009, Piney Flats, Tenn. – DART Helicopter Services engineers solutions for rotorcraft operators worldwide. In fact, they did it 1,000 times in 2008, adding 1,000 new accessories to a rapidly growing product portfolio. All of the company’s 2,500-plus aftermarket helicopter accessories — including the 1,000 new offerings — will be spotlighted in DART’s 2009 product catalog, which is being distributed this month. Catalogs will also be available at the DART Helicopter Services Exhibit (Hall A, No. 866) at Heli-Expo, Feb. 22-24 in Anaheim, Calif.

Some of the newest products for 2009 range from air conditioning systems for AS 350 and Bell 412 helicopters, to a new series of Cable Cutters Kits, the first for the AS 350. In addition, Geneva Aviation has added a new digital audio system, with details available at the show or in the catalog.

DART Aerospace continues to expand its product line with A119 Standard and Float Skidtubes, EC 130 Spacepod™ and LH Door Hinge Modification Kits, and Interior Trim Kits for many popular helicopters. Other additions include a Vertical Reference Operations line with Full Vertical Reference Door Modification Kit and Comfort Seat for Bell medium aircraft.

For the first time, DART will be offering standard and custom tools produced by Red Barn Machine for maintenance and overhaul of Bell and MD helicopters and Rolls-Royce 250 Series engines. DART is an exclusive distributor for these tools.  In addition, the company is now selling the Spectrolab Illumination product line, including the popular Nightsun® series of searchlights. DART is also offering products to help operators reduce operating costs with AKV’s Engine Cycle Counters and Main Line Helicopter Dollies.

Company officials credit all DART owned and affiliated companies for the ongoing success and growth.
