Manufacturers notice
Attention !
EUROCOPTER, its logo, AS350, EC130 B4, ECUREUIL, STARFLEX, VEMD,
are trade marks of the Eurocopter group.
Eurocopter’s policy is one of on-going product enhancement which means
that alterations in definition, pictures, weights, dimensions or performance
may be made at any time without notice being included in those documents
that have already been issued.
This document cannot thus be taken as an offer or serve as an appendix to a
contract without a prior check as to its validity and prior written agreement of
EUROCOPTER.
The operational or certification regulations, as defined by the local
authorities, can make compulsory the installation of some of the equipment
and recommended solutions, listed in this document. This list does not claim
to cover the whole of the worldwide operational requirements nor the
equipment not specifically related to the helicopter (for example : life jacket)
or necessary for particular missions (for example : supplemental oxygen).
The operator is responsible for ascertaining with his local authorities that the
planned configuration of the helicopter complies with regulatory requirements
for the area(s) of operations and the type(s) of mission(s) considered.

1- Foreword
The AS350 B3 is "the high performance" version of the single engine ECUREUIL range, beating every other
single engine helicopter in its category. It fulfils the FAR 27 regulation for VFR operation by day and night 0F1.
It offers a Maximum Internal Gross Weight of 2,370 kg / 5,225 lb
1F2and a Maximum all-up weight of
2,800 kg / 6,172 lb in external load configuration. This makes the helicopter perfectly suited for:
Aerial work,
Fire fighting,
Police surveillance,
Passenger Transport,
Hoist operations,
EMS in hot / high ambient conditions,
To optimise the Man-Machine Interface the helicopter is basically fitted with the VEMD (Vehicle and Engine
Multifunction Display) on the instrument panel: a new generation of integrated instrumentation that allows the
pilot to see all the main vehicle and engine parameters at one glance on a dual LCD screen.
The AS350 B3 is powered with a TURBOMECA ARRIEL 2 engine of 847 shp (632 kW) and equipped with a
dual channel FADEC system (Full Authority Digital Engine Control). This engine makes it perfectly suited for
operations in conditions such as mountainous or elevated areas or hot and dry areas. With an under-slung
load capacity of 1,400 kg (3,086 lb) and a high rate-of-climb, this helicopter is the ideal tool to transport
heavy loads and to carry out logging operations in the mountains. When fitted with low skid landing gear, the
maximum cruise speed is 140 kts. This high performance in combination with its high hook capacity makes
the AS350 B3 a very sought-after aircraft for passenger transportation or utility operations.
1By night, in VFR, when the equipment required by operational regulations are installed and serviceable.
2Requires the fittment of the option "Kit to increase Maximum Internal Gross Weight to 2370 kg".

Versatility enhancement
Since year 2001, EUROCOPTER leads a policy of enhancement of the standard definition of the helicopter
ECUREUIL in order to improve its versatility.
A first stage was to equip the ECUREUIL single-engined aircraft with general equipment and capabilities for
mission equipment, most usually selected by the operators.
The second stage was an extension of the "Ready to fly" concept of the last-born child of the family the
EC130 B4 to the whole of the ECUREUIL single-engined aircraft in 2003. The result is that a helicopter in
standard definition can operate in flight VFR day and night in the majority of the countries.
The set of instruments and radiocommunication / radionavigation equipment integrated in the standard
definition since 2003 is :
1 Gyro-horizon 1 VHF/VOR/LOC/GS/GPS
1 Gyro-directional 1 Transponder (mode A+C)
1 Turn and bank indicator 1 Altitude encoder
1 VHF/VOR/LOC/GS 1 ELT (2 frequencies)
1 Course Deviation Indicator 1 ICS + passenger interphone

4-2 Utility configuration
The powerful AS350 B3 is everything the world has come to expect from EUROCOPTER – dependable,
comfortable, safe and cost-effective. It fits all types of utility missions, because it has been designed with
adaptability in mind.
The AS350 B3 can be configured and easily re-configured, with a long list of optional equipment for whatever
utility mission in mind. With its lifting power, endurance and heavy-duty composite materials construction, the
AS350 B3 is always up for the most arduous hot and high missions and sling work.
The cockpit includes the dual LCD-screen VEMD, that gives the pilot the possibility to see all the vehicle
parameters at one glance, reducing his workload and enhancing safety. It leaves the pilot the possibility to
concentrate at its mission at hand.

4-3 Multirole configuration
The AS350 B3 is designed to handle any mission. Thanks to its wide and unobstructed cabin, it can be
reconfigured easily for everything from utility and heavy load transport, to medical evacuation, SAR, law
enforcement, oil-rig transport and high-density passenger transport.
In its role as law enforcement helicopter its customer uses it for a wide range of law enforcement missions:
surveillance, command and control, transporting small special force units and border patrol missions.
The exceptional lifting power, high endurance and extended range of the AS350 B3 make any job looks
easy. The AS350 B3 can climb to 3,000 meters in 2 minutes and 21 seconds and has more then proved its
performance when it landed on the Mount Everest in a record-breaking event.
