FAA certifies H-125 IFR capability

Pawing the way for first deliveries in 2025

The H-125‘s single pilot Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capability has been certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), paving the way for first deliveries in 2025 from Airbus Helicopters’ assembly line in Columbus, Mississippi. This new feature, developed in collaboration with Moog´s Genesys Aerosystems, consists of an upgraded cockpit and a new autopilot along with redundant hydraulic and electrical systems.

IFR capabilities will allow pilots to operate the aircraft more safely in low visibility and challenging weather conditions, thanks to advanced avionics and autopilot. The system offers advanced situational awareness and reduces pilots’ workload for operations, all while maintaining the flight capabilities that have made the H-125 a reference in the light single-engine segment. 

Today, more than 4,300 H-125 family helicopters are flying across the globe in the most demanding conditions. The model is the market reference in the intermediate single-engine helicopter category, achieving a market share of around 80% in 2024. The Ecureuil family celebrated last year 40 million flight hours and 50 years since its maiden flight.
