Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Helicopter Eurocopter AS350 BA

The BA updated the earlier AS350 B with revised rotor blades in the 1990s. It belongs to an older part of the Ecureuil family and does not have the performance of the modern H125.

Helicopter H125

The H125 is a single-engine helicopter for transfers, sightseeing and selected mountain destinations. Its compact cabin normally seats four to six passengers, depending on the interior and crew.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The Ecureuil family began in the 1970s as a practical light helicopter adaptable to many tasks. The AS350 BA belongs to an intermediate stage of that development, before the later B3 and B3e. Improvements to the rotor let the established airframe evolve without a completely new cabin. Its ancestry is shared with today’s H125, but the versions have different performance.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.30 m.

Will my helicopter have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
