The fi rst H135 confi gured for off shore hoisting duties has been delivered to HTM Helicopter Travel Munich GmbH, marking a new milestone for the enhanced version of Airbus Helicopters’ lightweight rotorcraft previously known as the EC135 T3.


The H135 is well adapted to the full range of off shore operations, benefi tting from the helicopter’s excellent performance, especially in one engine inoperative (OEI) conditions. It fulfi lls all requirements for off shore missions, with equipment that includes a rescue hoist, an external life raft system, helicopter emergency egress lighting, automatically deployable emergency locator transmitter (ELT), three-axis autopilot, weather radar, underwater locator beacon, and emergency fl oatation system certifi ed for sea state 6.
