WIRE STRIKE PROTECTION SYSTEM

AERONAUTICAL ACCESSORIES
P/N 965-35901-001
The Wire Strike Protection System
®
[WSPS
®
] is designed to provide a significant measure
of protection for the helicopter in the event of inadvertent flight into horizontally strung
mechanical, electrical transmission and communication wires and cables. The WSPS
®
is designed to reduce the possibility of wires entering the cockpit area, damage to the
flight controls during a wire strike, or of wires becoming entangled in the landing gear.
In actual cases, this system has proven effective against multiple wire strikes. The
WSPS
®
consists of an upper cutter/deflector, a windshield deflector, and two lower
cutter/deflectors. Each cutter is equipped with a high tensile steel cutting blade. The
FAA/PMA approved kit may be installed at the factory or at any approved Bell 430 airframe
service facility. The approximate increase in empty weight with the kit installed is 10.4
kilograms (23 pounds).
