The upgrade was bought in back in 2015. Transport Canada approved it back in April this year.
“[We’re] making it very simple to retrofit the gross weight expansion, so for an increase of 1,200 pounds, it’s simply a 10-pound kit for the aircraft in the field,” said Audrey Brady, director of S-92 programs at Sikorsky. “[It involves] a series of doublers and stringers, clad to the aircraft, to get it structurally available for the higher gross weight.”
