SAO PAULO, Brazil, January 12, 2009 — Texas Aviation Services (TAS), a leader for 38 years in helicopter and aircraft services, along with its in-country partner Sierra Aeronautica, announced today the delivery of an executive Agusta 109E Power to Sao Paulo.
Despite economic “brown-outs” and rumors of a market that is “slowing down”, Texas Aviation Services continues to roll out high-end executive completions.  TAS recently delivered its’ second Agusta 109E to Sao Paulo, Brazil after paint, interior and avionics upgrades were completed.  Prior to the aircraft’s departure, the TAS Brazilian Repair Station was graded 10 out of 10 by the Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority on the conformity inspection.
Texas Aviation retrofitted the new Agusta 109E with multiple Garmin 430W’s, a GMX-200 with Chartview, Skywatch HP and a redesigned Instrument Panel engineered by the TAS staff.  The six passenger seats were covered with high-end leather and the crew and passenger areas were covered with carpet and Ultra-Leather.  Door activated dome lights with soft dim were installed along with Tinted Dual Windows STC’d by TAS.  The Dual Windows came with additional soundproofing to decrease interior sounds considerably, conveniently allowing passengers to communicate without headsets.  To finish, the TAS team installed Whelen exterior LED lights and applied a mirror finish paint scheme.
Michael Bashlor, President of TAS said: “We aren’t slowing down; TAS continues to push out executive completions that re-define the industry’s standards.”
Marcos Braga, CEO of Sierra Aeronautica said, “This aircraft was the second completion for this particular customer, and we continue to surpass their expectations.  2009 should be a record year for us together in Brazil.”
