Robinson Helicopter Starter Interrupt Kit
Don't think it will ever happen to you. Now you can ensure it never does!
No more R22/R44 engine start-up over speeds and help prevent hot starts in the R66!
AKV has the first of its kind, simple and affordable solution for any Robinson Helicopter operator with our Robinson Helicopter Starter Interrupt (RHSI) kit.
The RHSI is a patented system that is FAA approved (EASA pending) to stop on ground engine startup over speeds and help prevent hot starts.
An over speed in the R22/R44 can easily cost 50K or more when you consider costs associated with engine removal, inspection teardown, engine rebuild, engine installation and lost revenue for flight schools, leasing companies or P135 operators. In addition, replacement engine parts are presently a 1-2 year lead time from Lycoming. If a hot start happens in the R66, one can only shudder to think!
The RHSI kit prevents the engine from being started with the throttle open in the R22, R44 & R66 and in addition, with the fuel cutoff open in the R66. It can be installed in the field and is pre-assembled and tested at AKV to provide trouble free installation. The pilot is provided with an amber condition light that indicates correct system operation before and after every start, guaranteeing protection and peace of mind.
