text: Transport Canada awards certificate to MD900 Explorer
  MD Helicopters MD900 Explorer now certified in fifty countries
  MD Helicopters has announced
  that Transport Canada has approved the MD900 for day/night, VFR operation in Canada. With
  this Canadian approval, the MD900 has now been certified for operation in fifty
  countries, since its introduction in 1994.
  The certification is a
  significant step forward towards earning full approval for the newer MD
  Explorer 902 configuration with Pratt & Whitney 206E and 207E Engines and
  IFR STC operation. This approval for the upgraded aircraft is expected in the
  next few months.
  The NOTAR system makes the
  MD Explorer the most quiet and safest helicopter in its class. The MD Explorer
  is certified by the FAA, China’s
  CAAC and Europe’s EASA for Category A and
  single pilot instrument flight rule (IFR) operations.
