HELICOPTER FLEET

AS-350B3

This aircraft is used primarily for precision placement of external or underslung loads.  Being the most powerful aircraft in the AS-350 range, the B3 variant excels in the lifting of heavy and high altitude loads, to date this is the only aircraft type that has been able to successfully land on the summit of Mt Everest. 

Our aircraft has had every bit of excess weight removed to enhance its’ ability to carry maximum payload to high altitudes like those found on Mt Ruapehu (the highest mountain in the North Island of New Zealand), where we regularly carry loads in excess of 1,000kgs, at lower levels this aircraft is capable of lifting 1,400kgs.

When required, this aircraft can quickly be configured for carrying passengers, with the option of having one pilot and up to six passengers with the optional dual front seat installed, or with the added safety of two pilots there is seating for up to four passengers.  In both configurations there is still plenty of room for luggage or equipment, which may be required on site. 

Pricing for this aircraft is available on request.

AS-350FX2 (Maximum lift 1,070kgs)

This aircraft is available for any type of job, from passenger transport and the precision placement of external or underslung loads, to aerial filming, winching operations and agricultural work.  The maximum lift capacity of this aircraft is 1,000kgs. This lift capacity is less than that of an AS-350B3, but far exceeds the ability of an AS-350B2, particularly when operating at altitude or in hot climates.  This aircraft has been kept light to allow for maximum payloads to be carried.

When required, this aircraft can quickly be configured for carrying passengers and equipment, with the option of having one pilot and up to six passengers with the optional dual front seat installed, or with the added safety of two pilots there is seating for up to four passengers.  In both configurations there is still plenty of room for luggage or equipment, which may be required for the trip or on site work.

AS-350SD2 (Maximum lift 1,000kgs)

This aircraft is used primarily for agricultural operations and commercial lifting and transport.  The AS-350SD2 is a Lycoming powered version of the AS-350B2.  Once fitted with spray equipment this aircraft is capable of carrying 700 to 800kgs of liquid product or 900kgs of solid product in a spreading bucket. 

When required this aircraft can quickly be configured for carrying passengers and equipment, with the option of having one pilot and up to six passengers with the optional dual front seat installed, or with the added safety of two pilots there is seating for up to four passengers.  In both configurations there is still plenty of room for luggage or equipment, which may be required for the trip or on site work.

AS355F2

This is a twin-engine helicopter, which retains a very similar appearance both inside and out as our other (AS-350 series) aircraft, with the same seating configuration. This aircraft is primarily used for passenger transport and aerial photography, where the added safety of two engines allows it to operate more freely around populated areas. 

This aircraft is normally configured for carrying passengers and equipment, with the standard fit being one pilot and up to six passengers with the optional dual front seat installed, or with the added safety of two pilots there is seating for up to four passengers.  In both configurations there is still plenty of room for luggage or equipment, which may be required for the trip or on site work.
