Eurocopter has given Pall Corporation permission to sell the Centrisep engine advanced protection system (EAPS) directly to EC135/635 helicopter operators.

The system had previously only been available to the operators through Eurocopter Germany.

The fit-and-forget Centrisep EAPS aids in providing 24/7 availability and rapid launch of the helicopters.

The systems can be fitted on new-build helicopters or retrofitted on existing helicopters as per the instructions in Eurocopter service bulletin EC135-71-028.
