Case Study

Success in Action: Modernizing the UH-60

Howell Instruments partnered with Capitol Helicopters to transform its UH-60 fleet with cutting-edge avionics technology. This ambitious project involved over 1300 man-hours and resulted in a state-of-the-art cockpit designed and prototyped in under 60 days.

By integrating our advanced avionics suite, including the Howell H698 and H410 dual redundant display system and the Garmin G500Txi Primary Flight Display, we significantly enhanced flight safety, reduced pilot workload, and extended the operational life of these critical aircraft.
