Wildcat Helicopters to Use SkyTrac Systems Flight Following and Satcom
Wildcat Helicopters of
Kelowna, British Columbia, will use SkyTrac Systems to provide flight
following and Iridium satellite communications for its rotor aircraft fleet.
Ian Wilson, Wildcat
Helicopters' general manager said his company made its decision because the
SkyTrac's system was already STC (supplemental type certificate) approved,
had global real-time voice and text capabilities, and Internet-based
tracking software.
Besides flight tracking
reports, SkyTrac's
software applications include proprietary mapping, the adaptation of
Google Earth to show an aircraft's last geographical position, and new
worldwide, remote Web-accessed monitoring capability called SkyWeb.
SkyTrac says its hardware installations are
approved by Transport Canada, the FAA and EASA, and exceed AFF (automatic
flight following) requirements in both the U.S, and Canada. 05-19-2007. |
