VHA 206B/L Tail Rotor Blades now certified by EASA
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for VHA’s 206B/L composite tail rotor blade on April 23, 2012. The EASA STC means that European operators of 206B, 206L, 206L1, 206L3 and 206L4 helicopters can now legally install the VHA 206B/L tail rotor blades on their aircraft. A copy of the EASA STC is now posted in the Documents section of this website.
