Hi chaps,

Could anyone furnish me with;

MTOW for AS365N, N2 and N3;

Clear Area & the Helipad charts or typical values for Helipad at Sea Level 0,5,10,15,20,25,30 degrees?

Thanks,

I had the Cat A Supplements for the AS365N3 and the SA365N (the N is in french).

I uploaded these here for you Rotorinfo.com (http://www.rotorinfo.com). If you go to the library menu, the only option is under Eurocopter for AS365 Cat A. view or download as you wish.

From experience on the N model I can tell you that practical Perf 1 or Cat A is not practical for useful load on helipad profile, and with less than 300 meters/10kts wind clear heliport is not much better - but doable. The charts are there for you to see. If you want some info on perf 2 exposure times, I think I can probably dig that out somewhere, but from the question I am assuming Cat A, Perf 1.

Good luck

Many thanks BHL.

Are the figures the same for the N and N2?

I very much doubt it, the N2 has about 20% more OEI power (Arriel 1C2 versus the 1C.)

bhl, has someone hijacked your website listed in your profile - very strange helicopter company? Tianjin Yaohua Import & Export Co. LTD (http://www.bajanhelicopters.com/)

Thanks 212 man for the heads up. That was my old company and is now closed. I was still a bit shocked to see how i had become a chinese clothing store though :). Anyway for nostalgia's sake, i've reloaded it and soon it will point to memories again :). Apparently something went awry on the hosting side and the ip address was redirected. I've also updated my profile to point to my current works :).


Mr. Bonkers, 212 man is correct in that the N1 and N2 have uprated engines producing better oei -

365N arriel 1c- OEI 700
365N1 arriel 1c1 - OEI 724
365N2 arriel 1c2 - OEI 771
365N3 arriel 2c - OEI 879
