The heavy-duty multi-role solution
With 832 km range, 19-passenger capacity and 4,750 kg sling load the H225 is a proven performer for missions ranging from aerial work and passenger transport (energy and VIP) to law enforcement, firefighting, and search & rescue (SAR).
The Super Puma is the family of heavy class rotorcraft certified for flight in severe icing conditions, the long range, all-weather capable H225 is the choice of commercial operators and governmental agencies worldwide. A reference in its field, the H225’s autopilot delivers one-metre hover precision, flight envelope protection, and dedicated search and rescue (SAR) modes.
Versatile, powerful, and ready
The H225 is the latest member of Airbus’ proven Super Puma/Cougar family, a lineage that has accumulated more than six million flight hours globally. The H225/H225M specifically has contributed over one million of those hours, operating in the harshest conditions—including severe icing and highly challenging maritime environments. The H225M military version has further proven this reliability in the most demanding combat SAR (CSAR) missions around the globe.
A true all-weather helicopter, the H225 remains one of the few rotorcraft with full de-icing certification for flight in severe icing conditions. It is also the first helicopter in the industry to benefit from an OEM-issued flight crew operating manual, designed to optimise the use of automation and aircraft systems in offshore operations.
The reference in pilot assistance for safety and mission efficiency
The 4-axis autopilot delivers one-metre hover precision. The flight crew benefits from the real-time display of power margins, and from automatic features such as automatic level-off at low heights, an automatic collision avoidance procedure, vortex ring protection, automatic rig approach up to the visual decision point, Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach down to LPV minima (Localiser Performance with Vertical Guidance / precision approach), search pattern, automatic transition down to hover (trans-down), and fly away.
As on the H225M military version, the H225 is now offered with a new glass cockpit featuring four 10 inch x 8 inch enlarged displays and an enhanced control cursor unit for a more efficient human machine interface - reducing crew workload.
The versatile heavy-lift solution
With a wide choice of mission equipment, a multi-role railed cabin floor, quick role-change capability and a high payload capacity, the H225 can address a wide range of missions such as commercial air transport, SAR, law enforcement, firefighting, medical evacuation (medevac), humanitarian, disaster relief, and aerial work.
Celebrating one million flight hours
More than 400 H225 and H225M helicopters have been delivered to over 40 countries, with the fleet reaching a staggering 1 million flight hours.
