Cargo Pods (“Squirrel Cheeks”)

Product Description

The EC130 Cargo Pods increase the volume of both the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) cargo compartments. They must be installed in pairs. The composite pod has a dual-hinged door which opens widely for easy access and is fitted by a gas strut. The door fastens securely for flight with three positive latches. The pod also includes a door open warning annunciator. The upper portion of the cargo pod surface includes a maintenance platform. The fuel filler and EPU locations are unaffected. The cargo pods are ideal for utility missions, tourism and corporate passenger transport.
