Hi all,

I am looking for a bubble window for the right-side door of the AS 350, for vertical reference work (long line).

Googling up the Internet did not produce anything.

The only hint that this window exists is the front-page of the Alpine helicopters web site (Though it does not show in their product line-up):
Alpine Helicopters Switzerland (http://www.alpine-helicopters.ch/index.html)

I have a email off to them, but I hope to get some news from you guys in the meantime!

Thanks!

There was a plastics company in BC that could supply them without any approvals.
Local approval is no longer as easy as it used to be for any item that may change flight charactaristics of the aircraft .
Eurocopter Canada did test fly one but never got approval.
