Cockpit floor window built for visibility, safety, and efficiency.

Developed in close cooperation with pilots and mechanics from other entities of Swiss Helicopter Group, this product combines a redesigned right-hand floor edge, new lower cowling window, delivering maximum visibility, improved safety, and effortless transition between aerial work and passenger transport.

Maximised visibility

The new floor window guarantees optimal visibility to the pilot.

Easy installation

Any Part 145 is able to install the kit. Nonetheless specialised support is also available.

Competitive price

Swiss made product with outstanding performance at an affordable cost and shipped in an optimized package fitting the standard pallet size. Fleet discount is available.

No operating limitations

No airspeed limitation, no ground use limitation, modified floor edge qualified for 270kg abuse loads.

How it works

The problem

In aerial work, the pilot’s visibility is essential for accurate positioning, sling release, and firefighting precision.

Blind point created by the RH floor edge and floor structure represents a constrain to increase pilot visibility.

The solution

Our engineering team modified the helicopter structure. The right-hand floor edge and lateral frames were modified to reduce the visibility obstructions, offering a larger and safer field of view without compromising strength.

The extra advantage

Beyond visibility, this design introduces true operational flexibility: the pilot can reconfigure the aircraft for passenger missions in seconds — with a one-hand gesture.
This means less downtime, easier boarding, and a cleaner, safer cockpit layout for every mission.

Compatible with all AS350 B3 variants, crashworthy seats, and seat rail lenghts, and easily retrofittable on aircraft with existing floor windows.

FOLDABLE COVER

Effortless transition from aerial work to passenger transport, with one-hand gesture.

A simple one-hand movement lets the pilot fold the rear cover to switch from aerial work to passenger missions in seconds. It protects systems beneath the floor, ensures easy boarding, and can be paired with an optional full-cover kit that’s quick to install and easy to store.
