Modification

Perform even better

By increasing climb rate, overall performance, payload and range our modifications enable your aircraft to perform even better. We call this investing wisely as you simultaneously increase the resale value.

Modification for all Aircraft Types

We offer many avionics upgrades of renowned manufacturers (e.g. Collins-, Honeywell- and Garmin) as integrated solutions or partial conversions for most aircraft types maintained by us.

Visit our avionics site for more information!

Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft with their pressurized cabin are perfect for ambulance and Medevac transport. They carry patients safely to the next medical facility – even under difficult conditions, such as umimproved airfields or poor weather conditions.

We specifiy and install the complete medical package as a customized solution with following modules:

  • Incubators
  • Single- or dual stretchers / sleds
  • Modern patient loading systems, both electric and manual
  • Attachments for securing medical monitoring devices
  • Easy-to-clean vinyl sidewalls and floors

Multiple Missions

Multifunctional equipment for multiple missions can be installed as well. Special med sleds allow easy conversion from regular VIP transportation to medical mercy flights and vice versa in minimal time.

Hawker jets and Beechcraft turboprops both qualify for ambulance missions. However, some medevac operators prefer the King Air 200 and 300 series with an optional cargo door. Besides this, also other jets such as the Citation 560 XLS can be modified by us.

The Whelen HID (high-intensity discharge) Boom Beam lights improve safety when it comes to pilot visibility and traffic avoidance. The pilot can spot animals or obstacles on the runway from far away, and the aircraft itself is also seen better in the dark.

Boom Beam Lights produce up to 500% more light than standard lights based on Halogen or LEDs. HID Boom Beams use xenon gases and impact resistant electrodes instead of fragile filaments.
 

Your Benefits:

  • Increases safety – see and be seen
  • Produces 500% more light – engineered specifically for each model aircraft
  • Improved visibility at final approach + landing
  • Color temp closer to natural daylight
  • Reduces electrical load and heat
  • 5 years / 5000 hr Warranty

The MT 5-blade Whisper Props for Kings Airs are extremely quiet and efficient  (higher take-off & climb + cruise speed). They are EASA + FAA certified, provide 25 lbs less weight than the standard props made of aluminum and also comply with the strict German noise regulations (Deutsche Landeplatz-Lärmschutzverordnung 2010). You also profit from unlimited blade life and the blades are FOD repairable.


BLR | Winglet + Prop Bundle Package

Decide for a BLR Prop + Winglet bundle and profit twice: by an attractive package price and improved performance! You will gain an improved climb rate, more airspreed, a better flight stability and also burn less fuel. Additional benefits: Up to 33% reduced runway length, improved short field performance and an increased short field useful load up to 1.500 lbs!
