Eurocopter AS 350B3
If you’re looking for a high-flying helicopter that can take you to remote areas, then climb aboard the Eurocopter AS 350B3. This medium-sized helicopter is the high performance version of the highly popular AS 350 that’s world renowned for its safety record and low operating costs. Powered by the Turbomecca Arriel 2B turbine engine, the AS 350B3 features a high climb rate (1,575 ft./min.) and large load capacity (over 3,000 lbs.) that makes this “Best Of” perfect for mountainous areas and other demanding operations. But, the AS 350B3 is more than just a workhorse. It offers forward-facing seats for up to seven passengers in a quiet and comfortable cabin, low vibration and the capability to whisk the board of directors away at 154 mph to a mountain retreat up to 360 miles distant. Pilots love the AS 350B3’s Vehicle Engine Multifunction Display, a new generation of instrumentation which allows the pilot to see at a glance the main vehicle and engine parameters on dual LCD screens.
