“MedStar took delivery of its fourth replacement helicopter, and as usual Metro delivered this aircraft on time with the completion work done as expected. Metro always meets our expectations.”

The new H135 helicopter includes the same advanced flight and medical features of others in the fleet, but is the first Northwest MedStar helicopter with the Garmin GTN 750 system. This system meets the FAA requirement for all aircraft to be fitted with Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment which must be installed by 2020.

Metro Aviation became the first to STC the equipment for Single Pilot IFR (SPIFR) in the fourth quarter of 2014. Northwest MedStar’s new aircraft is also fully compliant with the new FAA Part 135 Helicopter Air Ambulance (HAA) requirements.
