Kings Avionics of Henderson, Nevada, has completed the first field installation of a Garmin GRA55 radar altimeter and a Garmin GI205 remote display screen on any helicopter platform. This installation, on a Bell 206L-1 for a rotary fleet operator, was completed in advance of the 2017 mandate that all Part 135 operators have a radar altimeter installed. "Garmin is excited to bring this cost-effective, stand-alone radar altimeter solution to the market," said Jim Alpiser, director of aviation after-market sales. "We are thrilled to have a partner in Kings Avionics who works feverishly to get installations completed in a timely and professional manner to bring this safety-enhancing technology to our customers."
