In addition, it has a Flightcell SmartHub and Cockpit Camera System, AEM LSS440 PA system, Garmin Dual GTN750h xi (NVG) cw data card Americas, GTX 345 DR Transponder, and GAE 12 Encoder.
“We were thrilled to work with Panterra Heli Support to equip this aircraft with the latest communication equipment,” said Dallas Avionics’ Scott Edwards. “We work hard to
make sure we have the best equipment available and to be a single-source supplier. It was great to be able to work with Adrienne and her team to help them with all their needs on this unique aircraft.”
In addition to the navigation and communication equipment, the retrofitted Black Hawk also has a new RMCI HUMS XRDS for monitoring. Exhaust assemblies were added from Aerometals. New LED lights, a Max Pulse pulselight flaser, fuel reclamation kit, vertical reference kit, locking fuel

It is great to see such an amazing helicopter gain new life for civilian operations,” said Robinson.
