No more R22/R44 engine start-up over speeds or hot starts in the R66!
AKV has the first of its kind, simple and affordable solution for any Robinson Helicopter operator with our FAA STC SR02754LA Robinson Helicopter Starter Interrupt (RHSI) kit.
The RHSI is a Patent Pending system that is FAA approved (EASA pending) to stop on ground engine startup over speeds and hot starts.
An over speed in the R22/R44 can easily cost 10K or more when you consider costs associated with engine removal, inspection teardown, engine rebuild, engine installation and lost revenue for flight schools, leasing companies or Part 91/135 operators. If this happens in the R66, one can only shudder to think…!
The RHSI kit prevents the engine from being started with the throttle open in the R22/R44 and in addition, with the fuel cutoff open in the R66. It can be installed in the field and is pre-assembled and tested at AKV to provide trouble free, easy installation. The pilot is provided with an amber condition light that indicates correct system operation before and after every start.
Ken Obi – Owner, Orbic Helicopters, Camarillo
“This system works not just for preventing an actual engine over speed on start, in the owner / operator point of view it’s a great peace of mind that nobody will over speed the engine on start up. This system is very simple and works perfect.”
Mr. Luke Carlson, Director of Maintenance at COLLEGE OF AEROSPACE SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY SOUTHERN UTAH UNIVERSITY (SUU)
“Here at SUU Aviation the Robinson R44 is our work horse. We have 19 total. The RHSI STC has eliminated our over speeds on start-up. We have saved hundreds of man-hours and downtime thanks to this STC that is installed in several hours. Thank you AKV!”
