The multipurpose, single-engine AS350 B2, powered by a 732 shp (546 kW)
Turbomeca Arriel 1D1 engine, has an outstanding proven track record. Its flexibility
and low acquisition cost have made it a very sought-after helicopter capable of
performing a wide range of missions, including passenger transportation, aerial work,
training, observation, fire fighting, and law enforcement, among others. With its
spacious and comfortable cabin accommodating one pilot plus up to 6 passengers,
the AS350 B2 is especially appreciated for its passenger transportation capabilities
for VIP missions, tourist flights, and public service tasks. Furthermore, its wide cabin
and panoramic view ensures optimum visibility for both passengers and crew.
The AS350 B2 is an excellent utility helicopter able to carry external load of more than
1,150 kg (2,500 lb). Thanks to its high useful load, it is well suited for all missions requiring
various types of equipment, especially for police, news gathering, medical transportation
and utility operations. And with a very short reconfiguration time (less than one hour), this
single-engine aircraft is able to complete various missions quickly and efficiently.
