    BLR Aerospace Receives New Zealand CAA Approval for AS355 FastFin

    BLR Aerospace, LLC, announced it has received approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of New Zealand for its FastFin® System for the Airbus AS355. This follows a successful collaboration with Skywork Helicopters, New Zealand’s leading helicopter service provider.  

    The BLR kit for the twin-engine AS355 builds upon the proven success of the FastFin System used on the H125/AS350. It features an Advanced Tailboom Aerodynamic Cowling (ATAC), a tailboom strake, and vortex generators. The system is designed to enhance directional control and hover stability. The increase in available right pedal and improved yaw axis management ultimately reduces pilot workload and improves performance during precision hover-hold operations, particularly in challenging crosswind conditions. 

    “Skywork has been an instrumental partner on this project,” said Clay Bringhurst, president of BLR Aerospace. “We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them to bring this certification to fruition and expand the reach of the BLR FastFin to a new platform that provides enhanced capabilities to operators in New Zealand and beyond.”
