VHA Receives Japanese STC for 206B Tail Rotor Blades

The Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) issued JCAB STC No. STC-434-TYO on August 31, 2015, approving the use of the VHA 206 series replacement tail rotor blade (per FAA STC SR02249LA) on Bell 206B helicopters registered in Japan. Currently the JCAB STC is approved for the Bell 206B JetRanger and is not yet approved for the 206L LongRanger. VHA is working with Bell Helicopters and a Japanese launch customer to extend the STC to the 206L3 and 206L4 LongRanger models.
