Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Transport Canada STC SH24‑21 now authorises approved installation procedures for the MTP136D and MTP138 radios on Bell 206/407 airframes, reducing bespoke engineering work for each retrofit.
  • Standardised, certificated installation paths cut operator downtime and MRO labour and documentation costs when upgrading avionics on two common Bell platforms.
  • The approval builds on recent rotorcraft certification and aftermarket STC activity, including a Bell type-certificate transfer at Verticon (Bell type-certificate transfer), Transport Canada type approval for the H175 (Transport Canada approval) and broader aftermarket STC developments for rotorcraft systems (aftermarket STC activity).
