StartPac Saved My Life!

These words are often heard in a hospital setting, but not in the aircraft ground support world. Start Pac recently received an email from a long time customer in Canada with these exact words. "One of our pilots, Jack, was flying in northern Canada when he flew into a whiteout forcing him to land the helicopter on a desolate patch of ice. We had no idea where he was and for 3 days he was presumed missing.

Jack had only a survival kit and his Start Pac with him. On the third day, the weather cleared enough for him to attempt a takeoff. He plugged in his Start Pac and lifted off to home base, arriving safely much to the surprise and tremendous relief of all of us, especially his family."

This is not a typical reason to purchase a ground power unit, but like life insurance, you only need it once!

Start Pac continues to pursue the unique needs and demands of all aircraft operators. Upon learning that the overvoltage protection relay in certain aircraft like the Eclipse 500 and Phenom 100 is set around 29.5 volts and will not accept a majority of 28 volt pacs and GPU’s, Start Pac engineers developed the revolutionary 26 volt Li2600QC model.

This light-weight Start Pac will allow Eclipse and Phenom owners to fly anywhere in the world with the assurance that they will be able to start the aircraft and continue their journey.

The Agusta Westland 139 helicopter has a similar issue and thus a larger 26 volt Start Pac, the Li2700QC unit, which is now available to AW 139 operators.

Start Pac’s mission continues to be Superior Technology, Superior Support.
