Airbus Helicopters provides an interactive booklet  and training guide to provide you with recommendations to safely carry out your hoist operations while preventing and mitigating associated risks.

 

Helicopter flight preparation

Flight safety is the first priority for Airbus Helicopters.

In line with our constant commitment to improving the safety of your operations, we are providing you with this new interactive e-learning on flight preparation.

This application, which was developed in collaboration with pilots, flight crew, experts and investigators, will give you educational material in order to:

  • facilitate flight preparation,
  • remind the importance of the flight preparation,
  • remind best practices,
  • awareness on preflight risk assessment.

We would like to point out that this application is support for pilots. It does not replace training. It does not address a specific pilot licence nor a specific type or aircraft. In order to be compliant you must refer to the requirements of your local authority.

H225 Flight Crew Operating Manual

The industry's first FCOM

Airbus Helicopters has issued an FCOM for H225 aircraft that are utilised for energy missions, marking the first such source document created in the rotorcraft sector. Already a standard in the fixed wing industry, this document communicates the rotorcraft manufacturer’s guidelines to operators for enhancing operational safety during routine and abnormal situations, as well as for increasing efficiency. It complements the approved Flight Manual.

Topics covered by the H225 FCOM include procedures for operating state-of-the-art glass cockpits, a focus on automated systems, and guidance on work-share among pilots – also known as Multi Crew Coordination (MCC). 

The FCOM is available on Airbus Helicopters' “e-TechPub” customer portal on AirbusWorld.

For any questions, please consult the FCOM Frequently Asked Questions or contact the Airbus Helicopters Help Desk.
