JCAB approves Airwolf installations of True Blue Power batteries

Airwolf Aerospace has received supplemental type certificate (STC) approvals from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) RAD-11-HQT, RAD-12-HQT for the installation of True Blue Power lithium-ion batteries. See the below listed helicopters.

This new STC follows recent Airwolf lithium-ion battery installation STCs from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Transport Canada (TCCA), and Brazil (ANAC), UK-CAA resulting in the STCs listed below.

• Airbus H125/AS350,AS355,EC120,H130/EC130
• Bell 206A/B,206L/L1/L3/L4
• Enstrom480B
• MD 369/500
• Hiller UH-12E

Field-proven, Technical Standard Order (TSO)-certified True Blue Power lithium-ion batteries, provide significant advantages:

Lowerweight.Up to 63 percent lighter, increases useful load.

Faster,cooler,enginestarts.Higher voltage for reliable powerful starts. Don’t be let down by your current battery.

Extremelyfastcharging.Have a fully topped-off battery four to 10 minutes after start.

Longerlife,Eight-year average. Stop replacing batteries frequently.

Reduced maintenance. Two-year maintenance cycle (TB17), On condition (TB20). No more excessive damaging cap checks and NiCad maintenance.

Extreme-coldcapable.Automatic built-in heater. No need to take the battery with you in extremely cold weather.

Reliability.Don’t risk a hot start or being let down with older battery technologies.

Airwolf is pleased to be exhibiting at Verticon 2026 Atlanta, Georgia, Booth B1510, and is looking forward to speaking to operators and maintenance providers about the STCs that they currently hold, upcoming approvals of higher Amperage battery sizes, additional battery locations, and new STCs for additional helicopter and fixed wing aircraft.
