Combining its TAWS expertise from thousands of installations in private, corporate and air-transport airplanes and years of supplying civilian and military users with its 3” and 4” primary displays, Sandel introduces the HeliTAWS - Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System. Certified to the new HTAWS TSO-C194 specifically for helicopters, the HeliTAWS combines an advanced HTAWS computer with the industry’s best display technology to provide a single panel-mount, self-contained solution.
As the World's TAWS retrofit leader, Sandel has perfected the 3ATI format along with its ultra flexible avionics interfaces. Panel space is at a premium in helicopters and its self-contained 3-ATI size allows the ST3400H to be installed in the place of an existing radar altimeter indicator. This means less modification, less cost, and less downtime. No remote black boxes involved.
