MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI), booth #9554 at HAI HELI-EXPO 2022, is presenting a HELI-EXPO show offer on MDHI’s long standing E-to-F conversion program. Customers can lock in pricing and receive part and service credit with this offer.
Following a strict FAA-approved process, the E-to-F conversion upgrades an MD 500E helicopter to an FAA-certified MD530F model. The robust conversion increases the aircraft’s gross weight to 3,350 lbs., improves its flight characteristics in confined areas, and boosts cruise speed, all for comparatively low direct operating costs (DOC).
During HAI HELI-EXPO exclusively, 2022 pricing is locked for the conversion and delivers a 5% parts and service credit off base price. To take advantage of the offer, customers must execute a service agreement by Sept. 1, 2022. Credit is issued when the customer takes possession of the completed conversion and must be used within 12 months of issuance. All other terms and conditions of the conversion agreement apply.
An outstanding resource for E-model operators who want to affordably upgrade their aircraft’s capabilities with minimal down time, the E-to-F conversion program is an extremely valuable MD-exclusive service. After conversion, customers receive a like-new aircraft with increased power and capability without the investment required for a new aircraft.
