Aircraft Modifications

Taking delivery of an ex-factory 'green' aircraft and modifying it to customer requirements is a routine task for SAS. They use a modular architecture so that, after delivery, customers can take advantage of the continual developments in technology. CAD designers and skilled engineers are experienced in integrating state-of-the-art communications, navigation and surveillance or medical equipment into the most effective - and cost-effective - platform possible.

For the latest MD902 series helicopters, SAS engineers have designed in-house and installed rear cabin work stations, belly panniers and quick-release nose sensor mounts for police machines, and medical racks and equipment stowage mounts for air ambulances.
