Bill Dillard, Archangel director of sales and marketing, states that, “It was a pleasure working with the CAAS team on this B212 installation. Our complementary expertise in avionics, installations, and certification resulted in a quickly-turned and complete solution. By pairing our ADAHRS with the Astronautics Badger Pro+ IFD System, CAAS has delivered a cost-effective and rugged upgrade that will serve the customer well for many years.”
President of Central American Aviation Services Michael Tutt explained, “The selection of the Archangel AHR150A ADAHRS combined with the Astronautics Badger Pro+ integrated flight display system for this Bell 212 modernization was a relatively easy decision given the ease of Integration, reliability and pedigree of the pairing. Both companies have met the challenging requirements of the Guatemalan Air Force and have far exceeded our original expectations.”
“ Working directly with the Archangel Engineering Group during the entire process from initial concept and integration to final installation and testing was the key for our Avionics and Maintenance Team completing the project onsite in Guatemala in a very short time span, less than six months from start to finish.”
