Five-bladed Airbus H145 Gets FAA TC H145 Military
Airbus’s new five-bladed H145 helicopter has received FAA type certification (TC) with the first U.S. delivery slated to occur early next year. The TC covers single-pilot instrument flight rules (IFR) and single-engine operations (Cat.A/VTOL), and night vision goggle capability. EASA certified the helicopter in June and launch customer Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation received the first production model in September.
“The
FAA certification is an important milestone for the H145 program, as our
customers in North America are eagerly awaiting its arrival and our entire team
looks forward to delivering and supporting this new variant,” said Romain
Trapp, president of Airbus Helicopters, Inc. and head of the North America
region. Airbus has begun updates to the current U.S. H145 final assembly line
modification and technician training in Columbus, Mississippi in preparation
for receipt of the first kits of the new version later this year.
