Microflite orders Airbus H125 to expand services in Australia

The utility helicopter is being added to the fleet as part of Microflite’s efforts to maintain high safety standards for its customers, with the H125 being used for a range of missions.

“At Microflite, we’re committed to the highest standards and levels of safety for our customers and our team, which is part of the reason we keep adding Airbus helicopters to our existing fleet,” said Jonathan Booth, CEO of Microflite.

“Across the range of Airbus helicopter platforms that we currently fly, the H125 is definitely our go-to for all utility work, whether it’s for firefighting, general air work, or land management,” he added.

The Microflite helicopter fleet includes the H120, H125, AS350, H130, H135, and the latest, state-of-the-art, five-bladed H145, all used for a range of missions with the operator’s customers.

The H125 provides enhanced safety and reduced workload for pilots with its touchscreen glass cockpit instrument panel, which incorporates the Garmin G500H TXi avionics suite and Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD) developed for Airbus. The VEMD enables pilots to monitor the main vehicle and engine parameters. The helicopter’s wireless connection automatically transfers flight data at the end of each flight.

Loft Dynamics recently launched an H145 VR simulator.
