Projects:

BSAS International is currently exploring an upgrade of the DC3/C67 65ARTP to a glass cockpit. Integrating Garmin, Honeywell or Rockwell into the cockpit, this modification is aimed at reducing maintenance and improving the flight control console.

Other areas being improved are sound-proofing, the steering column and seats within the cockpit, all directed at improving the cockpit aesthetics.

Cargo Door Modification (DC3/C47 65ARTP):

The DC3/C47 65ARTP is largely used as a rural cargo & transport aircraft, the aircrafts ability to land on almost any surface whilst also having impressive performance and payload capabilities allow BSAS to market to logistics & relief companies. To improve the Turbo Daks cargo abilities, a “shell flap” could be installed into the airframe, this will increase the height of cargo that could be loaded onto the plane.

Engine Modification (DC3/C47 65ARTP):

Whilst BSAS backs up its P&W Canada PT6A 65AR engines with Hartzell HC-B5MP-3C/M10876 propellers, customers have in certain instances requested installation of the P&W Canada PT6A 67R engines using Hartzell HC-B5MA-3/M11276 propellers.
