Overview ‘Making the best even better’ The high-performance member of the Ecureuil family, the AS350 B3 outclasses all other single engine helicopters for performance, versatility, safety and competitive acquisition and maintenance costs. It excels in hot conditions and very high altitudes, and broke records when a standard production aircraft landed on the top of Mount Everest in 2005 (altitude: 29,029 ft /8,848 m). The best keeps getting even better – Airbus Helicopters is taking this aircraft to a whole new level with the enhanced H125 (AS350 B3e). H125 is powered with a new Safran Arriel 2D engine including a new generation dual digital engine control system (FADEC), backed up with one independent control system for automatic start-up sequences and care-free engine handling. This modern engine has an increased reliability and decreased maintenance costs and is fitted with an Engine Data Recorder. The H125 offers a new elegant cabin, increasing passenger comfort.

Thanks to its versatile flat floored cabin, the H125 can be quickly and easily reconfigured for all types of missions, from utility and heavy load transportation to medical evacuation, Search and Rescue, law enforcement and passenger transportation. Characteristics Leader in its class The powerful, high-performance H125 is designed to carry out the most demanding missions in the most extreme weather and geographical conditions.

Its exceptional lifting capability, high endurance, extended range and fast cruise speed make the H125 the leader in its class. Another world record: An AS350 B3 climbed to 3,000 meters / 9,900 ft in 2 minutes 21 seconds and made a world record landing on Mount Everest.
