Universal Avionics installations in rotary wing aircraft have been strong for well over a decade. The high vibration environment in which rotorcraft operate presents the need for avionics to be rugged and high-utility, yet provide intuitive operations for optimal situational awareness while reducing pilot workload. Our products are tailored to the tactical missions of helicopter operators and support their unique requirements. Night Vision Goggle (NVG)-compatible model options are also available for many of our products to support nighttime missions.

Having operated Universal Avionics’ equipment for over 30 years now, I’ve found that the company really dedicates themselves to the helicopter industry. Universal’s FMS has all the functions that a helicopter operator could possibly need like building and storing multiple flight plans. At the same time, the FMS works in the simplest form, it’s user-friendly, yet extremely accurate.

Cougar Helicopters operates in a long-range harsh weather environment in oil and gas offshore exploration. Flight planning for optimum fuel load, payload utilization and route maintenance is essential. Accurate approach guidance to minimums contributes to mission success and when flights are 3 to 5 hours long, monitoring of progress is critical. Universal’s UNS-1Esp currently installed operates exceptionally well and reliably. We look forward to implementing the next generation of Flight Management Systems from Universal and to utilize the competitive advantages they bring.
