Army with quality products to enhance operational effectiveness," said Michael Scimone, president of Donaldson’s St. Louis operation. "Donaldson products have protected the engines of Army platforms ranging from Abrams tanks to BLACK HAWK helicopters, and we are proud to con­ tinue this long standing relationship." In operation worldwide on commer­


cial and military JetRanger variants, the 206B/TH­67/OH­58 Series IBF allows flight planning to basic inlet perform­ ance charts. Also, an external panel allows easy access to the 4,500 flight­ hour life filters without removing the cowl. As with all certified Donaldson IBFs, the system includes an alternate inlet air bypass system mounted within the existing cowl. This emergency bypass capability is an important IBF feature that is not included with parti­ cle separator alternatives. An integral Filter Maintenance Aid is also included to allow for on­condition inspections pre­ and post­flight. Donaldson has long provided main


engine and auxiliary power unit (APU) barrier filter systems for the UH­60 Series BLACK HAWK, OH­58D Kiowa Warrior and the AH­6 Series “Little Bird.” The barrier filter systems have enabled substantial cost savings and improved time on wing for combat hel­ icopter power plants. Through its St. Louis, Missouri loca­ tion, Donaldson provides certified IBF
