DART Aerospace, April 14, 2014 - Hawkesbury – DART Aerospace is pleased to announce that, as part of a bilateral agreement between the US and Canada, Transport Canada has confirmed that DART’s R66 Emergency Float System can now be installed in Canada.
The new float system designed and manufactured by DART, is the only emergency float system currently available on the market that allows R66 operators to safely perform over-water operations.

Key Features:
Manufactured from lightweight urethane-coated nylon with durable covers
Reservoir made of aluminum with a carbon fiber and fiberglass wrap to reduce the risk of corrosion
Stainless steel valve to reduce the risk of corrosion
Optional skidtube extension available to convert the standard skidgear to accept the Aft float
