Leading São Paulo-area heliport and maintenance center Helipark has signed an agreement with Garmin International, allowing it to purchase avionics directly from the factory, simplifying the process and saving cost for customers. Garmin supplies digital “glass” cockpit suites for helicopters, such as its G500H panel, which reduces pilot workload and increases situational awareness. Other avionics are for communication, navigation, monitoring and for collision avoidance, as well as portable GPS navigation units, and sport aviation equipment. Helipark's avionics maintenance division includes professionals with 25 years of experience and trained at the major aircraft manufacturers. Helipark is an authorized service center for AgustaWestland, Bell Helicopter, Robinson Helicopters and Russian Helicopters, besides powerplant manufacturers Rolls Royce and Turbomeca, with ANAC certification for maintenance on Airbus Helicopters.
