Description
The DART Aerospace Left Hand Pilot in Command allow operators to bring the left hand pilot position to the same operational level as the right hand pilot position. This will allow the aircraft to be operated with the Pilot in Command seated in either position with the installation of redundant instrumentation, flight controls, control mounted switches and emergency cargo release. The DART Aerospace Left Hand Pilot in Command modification allows for left hand pilot operations with or without passengers. In addition to the complete kit including replacement collective head and switches, DART Aerospace also offers a mechanical kit without switches for customers who have already procured the required hardware. Additionally, the modification can be completed by most approved AMOs.
*Includes replacement collective head, switches and connectors. Requires prior installation of Bell Dual Control kit, Bell Co-pilot Instrument kit, and the DART Emergency Cargo Release kit p/n D205-704-013 or similar approved emergency cargo release kit. 1 kit modifies 1 aircraft.
