H225

Heavy payload lift capability, excellent flight range, and operational versatility make the H225 the most cost-effective helicopter for missions that range from aerial work and passenger transportation to law enforcement, and search & rescue.

The H225 is the choice of commercial operators and governmental agencies for its long range and all-weather capabilities. As a reference in its field, the H225’s autopilot provides precision, stability, flight envelope protection, and pilot assistance – including dedicated search and rescue (SAR) upper modes.

The H225 is the latest member of Airbus’ proven Super Puma/Cougar family, which has accumulated more than six million flight hours during operations around the world in the harshest conditions – which include severe icing and highly challenging maritime environments. The H225M military version has operated in the most demanding combat SAR (CSAR) missions around the globe.

The H225 is a true all-weather helicopter, and the only rotorcraft with full de-icing certified for flights up to severe icing conditions. It is also the first helicopter in the industry to benefit from an original equipment manufacturer-issued flight crew operating manual, designed to optimise the use of automation and aircraft systems in offshore operations.

The reference in pilot assistance for safety and mission efficiency

H225 avionics and autopilot systems reduce crew workload while enhancing safety, especially in the most demanding mission phases or conditions, through enhanced situational awareness and automatic modes or protections.

The flight crew benefits from the real-time display of power margins, and from automatic features such as automatic level-off at low heights, an automatic collision avoidance procedure, vortex ring protection, automatic rig approach up to the visual decision point, Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach down to LPV minima (Localiser Performance with Vertical Guidance / precision approach), search pattern, automatic transition down to hover (trans-down), and fly away.

As on the H225M military version, the H225 is now offered with a new glass cockpit featuring four 10 inch x 8 inch enlarged displays and an enhanced control cursor unit for a more efficient human machine interface - reducing crew workload.

The versatile heavy-lift solution

With a wide choice of mission equipment, a multi-role railed cabin floor, quick role-change capability and a high payload capacity, the H225 can address a wide range of missions such as commercial air transport, SAR, law enforcement, firefighting, medical evacuation (medevac), humanitarian, disaster relief, and aerial work.
