GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Airbus Helicopters Inc.’s new five-bladed H145 has received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration. The certification covers the full range of capabilities, including single-pilot instrument flight rules (IFR) and single engine operations (Cat.A/VTOL), along with night vision goggle capability. This newest version of the H145 family received EASA certification this past summer and was delivered to launch customer Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation in September. The first five-bladed H145 delivery in the U.S. is set to take place early next year. AHI has begun updates to the current H145 final assembly line at its Columbus, Miss., plant with new wiring testing capabilities for the five-blade variant. Technicians are also undergoing training in preparation for receipt of the first kits of the new version later this year.
