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. The HeliTAWS differs from its fixed-wing counterpart with the following features specifically for helicopters:
Sandel’s proven high-performance nuisance alert reduction tailored for helicopter operations
NVIS OPTION
For missions flown under night vision goggles, the HeliTAWS can be ordered with Sandel’s proprietary on-demand Class-B NVIS option. Unlike aftermarket NVIS modifications, Sandel’s unique NVIS mode employs no external filters and does not degrade its brightness or daylight characteristics when NVIS is 'off'.
GPWS Modes
For those requiring additional capability the HeliTAWS supports GPWS Modes 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
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.
Tested to DO-160F helicopter vibration standards, the ruggedized HeliTAWS is built for reliability and has an MTBF of 10,000 hours.
