Discovery Air Technical Services Inc. (DATS) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) now includes complete DHC-8 family

Toronto, ON, April 9, 2014 – Discovery Air Technical Services Inc. (DATS) is pleased to advise that its Transport Canada Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) that replaces the existing AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) on the DHC-8 aircraft, now includes the Series 100, 200, and 300 aircraft.  The AHRS is replaced with the SAGEM Aircraft Piloting Inertial Reference Sensors (APIRS).

This major upgrade dramatically increases the Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) and reduces operating and maintenance costs relative to the existing system.

In addition, installation of this APIRS provides DHC-8 operators with an increased capability to operate in northern geographic regions.

The DATS team is able to offer a DHC-8 AHRS upgrade integrated kit with or without installation. The integrated kit supports the installation of a dual APIRS system and includes structural provisions and wiring harnesses.
