New aviation headsets to aid in the poaching fight
The donation will assist in improving communication between aviators and ground crews during conservation as well as anti-poaching operations.
SANParks recently received a donation of 34 Bose A20 aviation headsets from Bose Aviation and Century Avionics for use by both fixed wing and helicopter pilots operating in the Kruger National Park (KNP).
The donation will assist in improving communication between aviators and ground crews during conservation as well as anti-poaching operations. The donation is seen as a crucial tool to both ground and flying crews and was warmly accepted by the KNP management.
Speaking on behalf of Century Avionics, Clinton Farla expressed how proud they were to be able to lend a hand in the fight against poaching and in support of conservation in the KNP. He further explained that the headsets have a five-year warranty. “We are pleased to hand them over to a unit that will utilise them to their fullest capacity and save our species for future generations,” concluded Farla.
His words were echoed by Garmir da Costa from Bose Aviation, who emphasised that the quality of the headsets will make the job a lot easier for the pilots on duty. “The headsets are extremely comfortable and the quality of sound is very clear, which makes it easier for the pilots and passengers to communicate while carrying out their duties,” he said.
