Missions

The H215 is a 9-ton class twin-engine helicopter in the famous COUGAR / SUPER PUMA family. They combine the rugged experience of the AS532 / AS332 dynamic and basic assemblies with the most advanced avionics of the H225M. They also include full glass cockpit avionics and the latest generation autopilot. These aircraft are reliable, fast helicopters and have outstanding all weather capabilities: a great power reserve and high maneuverability. The powerful MAKILA 1A1 engines give them the ability to fly almost any mission, no matter the temperature and altitude. They ensure maximum operational safety, even in the most difficult situations (discretion, low vulnerability, crash survivability and icing conditions).

These multipurpose helicopters can perform a wide range of missions including:

AS332 L1e: from passenger transportation,
executive transportation to SAR

H215: aerial work such as heavy sling,
logging and power line maintenance.

The large selection of available optional equipment allows for a wide spectrum of mission capabilities. In addition, the AS332 L1e and H215 are also cost effective aircraft due to their low maintenance and operating costs.
