Recoil Aerospace receives Canadian STCs
Recoil Aerospace has received approvals from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for its T1000-E and T650-E aerial firefighting systems
The supplemental type certificates (STCs) will allow Recoil to offer the two external tank systems to Canadian firefighting agencies operating Airbus Super Puma AS332 and H225 helicopters.
The approvals follow the receipt of a similar STC from the US Federal Aviation Administration for the T1000-E in April.
“We are very pleased to receive TCCA approval for the [3,785L] T1000-E and [2,460L] T650-E systems,” said Joseph Rice, President of Recoil Aerospace. “This is a significant milestone that opens the door for Canadian operators to leverage our aerial firefighting technology and strengthen their firefighting capabilities.”
He added: “Wildfires pose a growing threat across North America. By expanding our reach into Canada, we are committed to providing firefighting agencies with the tools they need to combat these devastating blazes to protect life, property, and natural resources.”
