LA JOLLA, Calif., 2 April 2008. Blue Sky Network, the global logistics solution provider for two-way linking and managing transportation assets via satellite, announced that Líder Aviação has deployed Blue Sky Network's solutions on its Bell and Sikorsky helicopters. With 40 aircraft, Líder Aviação is the largest offshore helicopter fleet in Brazil.
Líder outfitted its Bell-212, Sikorsky S76C+ and Bell 412 aircraft with Blue Sky Network's D1000C global flight tracking transceiver.
Integrated with Blue Sky Network's SkyRouter asset management portal, the D1000C Iridium transceiver offers Líder security features such as altitude adjusted position reporting, minimum en-route altitude alerting, and automated take-off and landing notifications. Additional logistic features including trip planning and event reporting are also available to keep Líder in full control of its helicopter fleet at all times.
Líder selected Blue Sky Network's technology after months of researching the best satellite tracking equipment. Previous methods of radio-based flight following have become too imprecise and inefficient, driving a demand from Líder as well as their large customers for the latest satellite tracking systems.
"With the Blue Sky Network tracking system in place, our pilots can focus on completing trips safely and effectively, without having to constantly report their location manually via radio," says Rafael Ramos, flight safety and HSE manager for Líder Aviação.
