Menominee MI, February, 2019 – Enstrom Helicopter Corporation is pleased to announce it has received Transport Canada validation of their model 480B helicopter on January 25, 2019. The 480B joins the other Enstrom models listed under FAA Type Certificate H1CE which have been approved for operation in Canada including the F-28A, 280, F-28C, F-28C-2, 280C, F-28F, 280F, and 280FX.

“Enstrom has a long history in Canada,” commented Enstrom’s Director of Sales & Marketing, Dennis Martin.  “A number of our customers have expressed a desire to operate 480B’s in Canada and this new validation will allow them to do so under Canadian registration.”  Enstrom is already in working with their first launch customer in Canada and expects the market to open quickly from there.  “With its legendary toughness, fully articulated rotor head, and low operating costs, we feel the 480B is a natural in the demanding Canadian environment.  Our piston aircraft have proved their worth there for years and we look forward to giving turbine customers a new, versatile option.”
