Airbus Helicopters in Canada

The HCare Service Centre in Fort Erie, Ontario is able to provide comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul services. The facility offers complete turnkey aircraft maintenance services. 

The centre also provides avionics repairs, complete system upgrades, sheet metal repair, composite part manufacturing and repair, pilot static system certification, transponder integration / correlation checks, modifications and the ability to perform inspections for a range of Airbus helicopters.

For pilots and technicians seeking training support in North America, Airbus offers a range of services at its facility in Fort Worth, Texas, USA.

Airbus offers the platform best suited to deliver world-class rotary wing training for the next generation of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) pilots. A full spectrum trainer, the H135 facilitates the development of core skills while providing twin-engines and advanced avionics similar to operational aircraft, allowing easy and safe pilot transition onto more complex helicopters in the RCAF’s fleet.

With more than 408,000 flight hours in a dedicated military training role, the H135 is the global reference for basic ab-initio, advanced IFR and tactical training. The H135 is the trainer of choice of 12 Air Forces world-wide, including several of Canada’s primary military allies such as Australia and the UK, which have very similar training philosophies to the RCAF.

Airbus’ twin-engine H135 has been IFR certified for more than 20 years, and the aircraft is best suited to provide a low-risk, best-value training solution over the 20 year+ lifespan of the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program. With twin engines and a modern cockpit, the H135 offers significant growth potential and the ability to future proof the FAcT program.
