Fulfilling Nighthawk Flight System, Inc’s commitment to focus on enhancing flight safety through innovation, Nighthawk is proud to announce the addition of Offshore modes to the industry leading ST3400H HeliTAWS® display. This capability will provide a new level of pilot awareness when servicing offshore oil platforms.
The New Offshore Modes will bring unmatched capability within the Nighthawk Flight System HeliTAWS® displays, which already set the industry standard for land-based HeliTAWS® functionality. Combining its TAWS expertise from thousands of installations in private, corporate, and air-transport airplanes and years of supplying civilian and military users with its 3” and 4” primary displays, Nighthawk now provides the Helicopter Offshore industry with the first multi-hazard avoidance system that alerts against Offshore obstacles and hazards as well as land-based wires, terrain, obstacles and traffic.
