Single engine IFR certified helicopter

Is it really IFR certified? Certified by whom? |
|
The title "first" is a bit inaccurate. It's the only CURRENT offering, but there have certainly been other singles that have met IFR requirements. How quickly we forget. https://www.rotorandwing.com/2015/06...ne-ifr-helo-2/ Forty years ago, Vought Aircraft and Sperry collaborated to produce the SA-341 IFR Gazelle. This first IFR-certified single-engine helicopter was a breakthrough. http://fsims.faa.gov/wdocs/fsb/bell407fsb.pdf And from our own PPRuNe: https://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/37...r-capable.html Misleading thread title edited Senior Pilot |
Mike....that was a Johnny Come Lately as well.
Go back further and you will see there ws a piston engine IFR helicopter that set many records and gained IFR Certification. The Cessna CH-1 Skyhook was certified for IFR flight by the FAA |

And of course the one off STC only for serial # 1005 . I wonder if this AS350-D is still flying
see also SH284WE SH4099SW SH4669SW SH8780SW-D AND sr08244RC ( Slow day at the office ) |

Ok sorry, my mistake. It's not the first, I know. It's the only IFR single available today.
Well this is a great revolution I guess, hope other models like H125 and Bell 407 will follow this route.. |
We were flying IFR B206 back in 2008, probably plenty of others doing the same.

I think they mean certified as standard by the manufacturer Charles

the 206 was certified IFR by the manufacturer. I flew an L3 that was IFR configured and certified. Air Methods operated them for years. These days if they still have the IFR kit, they get bought up and stripped out and the weight savings is probably 80 lbs or more. |
