SPAES GmbH & Co. KG, June 28, 2023 - SPAES is proud to announce the successful installation of a FLARM collision avoidance system in a Bell 214 helicopter for a customer.
The FLARM (FLight AlARM) system is an innovative collision avoidance technology specifically designed for aviation. It utilizes advanced electronic devices and intelligent algorithms to provide pilots with real-time alerts about potential aircraft conflicts, even in areas with limited radar coverage.
By integrating the FLARM system into the Bell 214, SPAES has significantly enhanced the helicopter's safety profile, particularly during operations in high-traffic airspace.
Two FLARM antennas have been strategically positioned to maximize signal reception and transmission. The installation process involved the integration of FLARM avionics into the existing avionics suite of the Bell 214 helicopter. In close collaboration with the customer a seamless integration with the aircraft's existing systems and interfaces was ensured. Various testing procedures were conducted to validate the system's functionality and performance, meeting the highest industry standards and regulatory requirements.
The FLARM system provides numerous benefits to the operators of the Bell 214 helicopter. Firstly, it enhances the situational awareness of pilots, allowing them to detect nearby aircraft even in challenging visibility conditions. Additionally, the FLARM system aids in the prevention of mid-air collisions by providing visual and audible alerts, alerting pilots to potential conflicts and enabling them to take evasive action promptly.
Joachim Schanz, CEO of SPAES said "Installing the FLARM collision avoidance system in the Bell 214 helicopter not only elevates safety measures but also instills confidence and reassurance among pilots and operators."
About the company SPAES: SPAES GmbH & Co. KG is a growing company in the aviation industry. Specialized in tactical mission equipment and medical systems, the portfolio includes products and services, but also design and certification of special equipment, own products and EMS systems as well as their integration and certification in airplanes and helicopters which will be certified in accordance with European aviation norms and standards.
As an independent EASA Part 21J Design Organization SPAES offers the execution of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), Minor Change and Minor Repair in the area of avionics, cabin interior, structure, electrical systems, NVIS and medical equipment.
In our own EASA Part 21G Production Organization we manufacture customer specific and own products as well as installation KITs with CoC or EASA Form 1, which are installed in the aircraft by Part 145 Organizations.
Joachim Schanz, owner and CEO of SPAES, founded the company in Mannheim in 2014. In 2019 the headquarters was moved from Mannheim to Karlsruhe.
