MEMBER NEWS – Troy Air Evac Base Receives New Aircraft

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
Troy Air Evac Base Receives New AircraftThe Troy, Mo., Air Evac Lifeteam base recently welcomed a newly upgraded aircraft.  The Bell 206 includes enhanced safety features.

The Troy, Mo., Air Evac Lifeteam base has a new addition, and Base Pilot Supervisor Theo Kulczak could not be happier. The base opened in March 2002, and just recently welcomed a newly upgraded Bell 206 LongRanger.

“The decision to upgrade the aircraft was made with an eye toward enhancing safety,” Kulczak said.

The new aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including the Cobham HeliSAS/Autopilot and Garmin 500H glass cockpit. The autopilot and Stability Augmentation System enhances flight safety by reducing the pilot workload and increasing flight stability. Together with the Garmin 650 and 500H (glass cockpit), the pilot is able to focus on other things outside the aircraft.

“We are excited that the company continues to invest in the local community by adding upgraded aircraft with the addition of important safety enhancements,” Kulczak said.
