Highest safety standards for Airbus Helicopters: The LCR-350B Attitude and Heading Reference System from LITEF

Highest safety standards for Airbus Helicopters:
The LCR-350B Attitude and Heading Reference System from LITEF


The open sea is notorious for the rough winds that blow across its waters. Safely manoeuvring a helicopter under such harsh conditions requires sure instinct and years of experience from the pilots. This becomes necessary, for example, when offshore wind farms have to be maintained on the high seas or employees have to be transported to or from their workplace on oil platforms. But apart from the pilots' flying skills, there is another thing that is crucial: the right technology behind everything. It is worth taking a closer look at the interior of the helicopters.

WE ACT LAWFULLY AND ARE GUIDED BY OUR VALUES

For us, compliance means more than responsible management of a company. It also entails compliance with statutory directives, government regulations, internal company guidelines and the upholding of ethical principles. For all employees, rule-compliant conduct is second nature. To uphold this, we provide training for all of our staff at regular intervals. Our Code of Conduct serves as a guide for all of our decisions and actions. With the BKMS® Whistleblower and Compliance System (Business Keeper Management System) of the external company Business Keeper GmbH, we provide a procedure for the systematic recording and processing of anonymous and non-anonymous reports. With the help of the system, so-called whistleblowers can provide information on suspected violations and criminal acts for selected topics that have been defined between the management and the works council of Northrop Grumman LITEF GmbH.

EQUAL RIGHTS

We have always been considerate of equal opportunities for women and men. In March 2015, the Bundestag, German Federal Parliament, signed off on the 'Act for the equal participation of women and men in management positions'. We comply with this law, and we promote women into leadership positions by having at least one woman at executive level and at least one in the next tier of management.

FREIBURG, A DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION LOCATION

At our site in Freiburg, we combine high intelligence and practical knowledge to fulfil the specific inertial solution requirements of our customers in the areas of Defence, Commercial Aviation and Industrial Solutions.
