Donaldson Aerospace & Defense (Booth C1736) has received Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department STC approval for its MD900 inlet barrier filter (IBF). Heliservices operates three MD902s in Hong Kong, one of which is already equipped with an IBF and two others slated for future IBF installation.


“The operating environment in Hong Kong can be demanding of airframe and engines” and there is “a degree of pollution containing particulates and airborne substances that can lead to corrosion and erosion of mechanical components,” said Heliservices engineering manager Bobby Gimber. “I have used the Donaldson IBF system previously and know how effective the filtration system can be once implemented. It was clear to us that the IBF system suited our requirements.”


Donaldson will have a variety of products on display this week at Heli-Expo 2018, including IBF systems for multiple helicopters and a range of liquid filtration products. “Donaldson is pleased to once again expand the reach of our IBF systems and bring superior engine protection to the MD900 operators in Hong Kong,” said Lars Hesbjerg, the global director of sales at Donaldson.
