H125
Backed by experience
The H125 is a member of Airbus’ rugged and proven Ecureuil family. Over 7,200 members of the Ecureuil family (AS350, AS355, AS550, AS555, H125, H125M, EC130, H130) have been delivered in 137 countries to more than 2,600 operators. Together, these rotorcraft have accumulated more than 40 million flight hours.
H125: A multi-mission workhorse
Enhanced safety
The H125 provides enhanced safety and reduced workload for pilots with its touchscreen glass cockpit instrument panel, which incorporates the Garmin G500H TXi avionics suite and Vehicle & Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD) developed for Airbus. The VEMD enables pilots to monitor the main vehicle and engine parameters at a glance. The helicopter’s wireless connection automatically transfers flight data at the end of each flight.
In addition, the baseline H125 is now equipped with a crash-resistant fuel system fully compliant with Part 27.952 crashworthiness guidelines for swing load operations.
Backed by experience and a long heritage
The H125 is a member of Airbus’ rugged and proven Ecureuil family. Over 7,200 members of the Ecureuil family (AS350, AS355, AS550, AS555, H125, H125M, EC130, H130) have been delivered in 137 countries to more than 2,600 operators. Together, these rotorcraft have accumulated more than 40 million flight hours. The H125 continues as the undisputed leader in its class for 30 years.
Some 4,200 rotorcraft in this series currently are in service worldwide (of which close to 1,500 are the H125/AS350 B3e versions), and they primarily are used for high-performance missions in high and hot conditions.
World-record holder
The H125-series helicopters have broken world records throughout their career. In 2005, the AS350 B3 set the world record for the highest-altitude landing and takeoff, performed on Mount Everest at 8,848 metres (29,029 feet) – a title still held today. In May 2013, the AS350 B3 performed the world's highest long-line rescue operation on Lhotse, the world's fourth highest mountain, located in the Himalayas at 7,800 metres (25,590 feet).
