PHI MRO Services will complete the initial system integration of the Helix Flight Deck System, and offer Helix retrofits and support services to operators around the world.

ATLANTA, GA – March 7, 2023—Avidyne Corporation of Melbourne, FL. And Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) of Exton, PA., announced today that PHI MRO Services of Lafayette, LA., has agreed to be the system integrator for their new Helix Integrated Flight Deck, which will be initially certified in the S-76C++ helicopter, and to offer retrofits and support for Helix at their global MRO sites.

“We are happy to have Avidyne and IS&S as avionics OEM partners for systems integration and support of their new Helix flight deck,” Tom Neumann, President PHI MRO Services.  “We see the Helix system as a terrific upgrade solution for helicopter operators facing legacy avionics obsolescence issues, and who want to improve reliability and dispatchability of their fleet.”

“PHI is a world-renowned helicopter operator, systems integrator, and MRO, and we are delighted to have them as our integration partner for the Helix flight deck system,” said John Talmadge, Avidyne’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales. “The S-76C++ is an iconic aircraft and the perfect launch platform for Helix, and PHI MRO Services has impeccable capabilities and knows this stalwart airframe inside and out.”

“In addition to the S-76C++, we see plenty of opportunity for follow-on programs and platforms for Helix, and our partnership with PHI MRO Services will be instrumental in bringing those to market as well,” Talmadge added.

The Helix Integrated Flight Deck is a joint initiative that combines IS&S’s proven 10.4-inch flat-panel displays with Avidyne’s Helios Flight Management Systems to deliver significant new capabilities for operators looking to modernize their otherwise highly-capable legacy helicopters, including the Sikorsky S-76C++, which is the launch platform.  Helix provides state-of-the-art avionics capabilities including large-format flat panel displays, 3D Synthetic Vision, electronic charts, ADS-B weather and traffic, and SBAS/LPV capability.
