Greetings,
Does anybody know of a source where I can find a HEC Belly Band that can be used on the AS350 and is EASA Certified? We will have to be able to fly up to 5 People per HEC (Skilift evac.)
Help is much appreciated!!

Have you tried EMERGCO (http://emergco.com/v2/) in North Vancouver. Theirs is TC certified, but don't know how that transfers to EASA. Should add that I don't know if its rated for 5 people. The standard system is 600 pounds.

Sorry I just saw your posting. No belly bands will be certified for 5 people. There is a Canadain company called Boost Systems that has a great dual hook for the As350/355. Rated for up to 5 or 1100 lbs. TC certified with FAA and EASA in the works. Hope this helps. I think it's boostsystems.ca or just google it.

Boost systems don't use a belly band. They have a bar mounted between the skid mountings for a second hook. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
