The H225 is the choice of commercial operators and governmental agencies for its long range and all-weather search and rescue (SAR) capabilities. As a reference in its field, the H225’s autopilot provides precision, stability, flight envelope protection and pilot assistance, including dedicated SAR upper modes.
Its payload and range capability make the H225 the most cost-effective helicopter for long-distance offshore crew changes.
The H225 also has high payload and versatile configurations to suit missions such as:
Aerial work
Firefighting
Passenger transport
Law enforcement
Utility missions
The H225 is the latest version in Airbus’ proven Super Puma family, which has accumulated more than 5.5 million flight hours during operations around the world, in the harshest conditions including severe icing conditions and highly challenging maritime environments. Moreover, its military version, the H225M, has operated in the most demanding combat SAR (CSAR) missions.
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, RNP approach down to LPV minima (precision approach), search pattern, automatic transition down to hover (Trans-Down), and fly away.
