1 Foreword 

Figure 1.1: Example of the EC135 

The EC135 is a light twin-engine, multi-purpose helicopter of the 2-3 ton class with up to 8 seats for 

pilot/s and passengers. Underlining its multi-role capabilities, it can even be operated single pilot IFR 

as an option. The helicopter combines EUROCOPTER ® 's latest technologies, like advanced cockpit 

design, modern avionics, Fenestron® anti-torque-device and all-composite bearingless main rotor system, 

giving the helicopter an outstanding maneuverability. Optimized main rotor blades with advanced 

tip geometry in combination with a Fenestron ® with unequal blade spacing make the EC135 the quietest 

helicopter in its class, bringing it 6.5 DBA below the ultra-stringent ICAO limit. The built-in anti resonance 

isolation system (ARIS) filters rotor-induced vibrations and thus enhances flying comfort to a 

maximum. As a result, the vertical vibration level is far below 0.1g at hover with no increase with speed. 

Due to its extreme simplicity, the rotor system contributes to highest safety standards and, at the same 

time, reduces maintenance to a minimum. The first scheduled maintenance is the intermediate inspection 

after 400 Fh. In addition, the rotor system together with high TBO gearbox and airframe components 

grant for high in-service-time of the helicopter. 

Depending on the operator's preferences, the EC135 can be equipped with either Arrius 2B2 or Pratt 

& Whitney PW206B2 power plants - both are FADEC controlled. These powerful and reliable engines, 

in combination with the lifting system, provide outstanding performance and vital power reserves even 

in OEI scenarios. 

For training purpose an OEI training mode is implemented to perform a realistic OEI training. This training 

mode is based on a twin engine training concept featuring a so called TRAINING and a TRAINING 

IDLE engine. 

Twin-engine reliability is complemented by a tandem hydraulic and dual electrical system as well as a 

redundant lubrication and cooling system for the main transmission. 

Further safety aspects of the EC135 are design elements like energy absorbing fuselage and seats, 

as well as the crash resistant fuel cells. 

A wide range of quick interchangeable optional equipment is available for the EC135, e.g. emergency 

floats, hoist, SX16 search light, single or dual cargo hook and many more. Together with its most versatile 

cabin layout the EC135 is ready to operate in different missions, like police / surveillance, passenger 

/ VIP transport, EMS, public service, to highlight on a few. 

135.10.101.01 E Page 5 of 168 



Compared to other helicopters in its class, the EC135 offers a large cabin, featuring: 

• Excellent outside visibility for pilots and passengers 

• Roomy cabin which accommodates long or bulky freight 

• Unrivalled side loading (no door posts) and rear loading capability 

• Unobstructed and flat floor all over the cabin area with integrated airline rails 

Figure 1.2: View from rear into the empty cabin 


Alternatively to a conventional cockpit, the EC135 is available with "glass cockpit", which comprises 

primary flight displays (PFD) and NAV displays (ND). All LCD screens are well arranged on the instrument 

panel, easy to read even if viewed from an angle and feature perfect readability in any light conditions. 

The unique color coding, warning and information concept helps the pilot/s to collect all relevant 

parameters while suppressing presentation of non-relevant information. 

Common to the conventional and the glass cockpit is the Central Panel Display System (CPDS). Included 

in this CPDS there is Eurocopter's unique First Limit Indicator (FLI) which dramatically simplifies 

engine and torque monitoring. Being relieved from the instrument scan without missing vital information, 

the pilot/s can dedicate more of his/their attention to the mission.

4.3 Corporate 

The EC135 Corporate configuration offers comfortable, classic surroundings. Genuine materials such 

as real wood and leather combined with highly accurate production methods ensure a lightweight interior 

that maximizes the helicopter's range. The elegant interior design with stylish seats and cabinets 

creates an exclusive ambience. This configuration can comfortably accommodate up to six passengers 

plus a pilot, providing ample legroom. An optional version accommodates seven passengers and a pilot 

in equally comfortable conditions. 

Figure 4.15: Picture shows optional equipment of an EC135 5 seats corporate package 

A combination of two rear seats (3 point safety seat belts), accompanied by an elegant cabinet in the 

middle ensures the most comfortable travelling in this class by providing two armrests in the window 

niches and an armrest mounted on the cabinet. For access to cabinet the armrest can be folded backwards. 

On request an icebox and two cup holders are available. In the front row of the passenger cabin 

3 leather seats are installed. The middle seat can be exchanged with a front cabinet on request. The 

pilot seats (5 point safety seat belts) are upholstered and covered with leather to provide a harmonic 

interior. The carpet completes a comfortable impression of the design line. Safety belts are adjusted to 

the leather color of the seats and sides of the cabinet. To underline the comfortable and the prestige 

approach the belt shutters are made of metal and are brushed. 

For further information concerning components, features, colors and materials of the Corporate kit 

please refer to the technical data support document „EC135 Corporate & Executive Interior Catalogue”.

4.5 HERMÈS 

The l'Hélicoptère par Hermès, also part of the EC135 family, has been ingeniously designed to provide 

a sober, luxurious space for passengers. The cabin includes the latest design elements and introduces 

a new concept for stowing clothes and luggage. Everything about the cabin is so exquisitely Hermès: 

The headrest, the cabinets, the armrests… Hermès has changed the concept of flying.

4.6 Utility 

The EC135 offers numerous possibilities to utility operators. With the best ratio between maximum 

takeoff weight and useful load in its class, the EC135 carries out all kinds of utility missions with a maximum 

external cargo hook capacity of 1,300 kg. The Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display 

(VEMD®) allows pilots to concentrate on the mission ahead: an acoustic warning informs them when 

the engine is reaching its first limitation, which in turn reduces pilot workload. 

The EC135's design and large horizontal stabilizer provide stability for sling load operations. The Fenestron® 

tail rotor ensures safety for personnel on ground and helps pilots avoid obstacles when landing 

or maneuvering. And last but not least, the EC135 has the lowest direct operating cost in its class, 

making it the cheapest twin engine helicopter to operate! 

Figure 4.21: EC135 used for maintenance of windmill parks 

Some examples of utility missions that the EC135 can perform: 

• Sling load operations 

• Fire fighting 

• Hoisting 

• Cargo transportation 

• Power Line inspections 

• Wind turbine maintenance and inspections 

• News Gathering

4.7 Offshore - Oil and Gas 

For offshore operations, the EC135's panoramic visibility, exceptional maneuverability, range, twin-engine 

performance, safety, and large cabin make the helicopter perfectly suited for this sector's demanding 

operations. The powerful and reliable engines provide outstanding performance and vital power 

reserves even in one-engine inoperative (OEI) scenarios. The EC135 features other safety aspects, 

such as energy-absorbing fuselage and seats and crash-resistant fuel cells. Its state-of-the-art avionics 

considerably reduce pilot workload, allowing them to focus on the mission ahead. The simple design 

of the EC135 allows for fast and easy maintenance, thereby ensuring optimal dispatch availability. 

Finally, the EC135's proven technology enables pilots to perform safe and efficient flights, even in the 

poorest weather conditions. 

Figure 4.23: EC135 in a typical offshore layout 

Safety and comfort in mind 

The EC135's spacious cabin offers outstanding visibility to both the pilot and its passengers. The latter 

will appreciate the ample legroom and low in-flight vibration levels. In the standard configuration, the 

EC135 can accommodate 5 or 6 passengers plus 1 or 2 pilots. The design of the EC135 is fully adapted 

for hoist operations with its flat cabin floor, specific landing gear and best of all, excellent OEI hover 

performance, which ensures optimal safety in case of an engine failure during operations.

5.4 Police 


Whatever action the law enforcement mission requires, the EC135 offers the perfect solution. With its 

compact size and shrouded tail rotor, the EC135 can land in confined areas. Its wide, unobstructed 

cabin offers increased visibility for observation operations. Mission flexibility, low noise, reduced maintenance, 

operational costs and higher availability are among the many reasons why so many police 

operators have already chosen the EC135 for their daily operations. 

The efficiency multiplier 

Eurocopter has developed a wide range of equipment for the EC135 to meet the requirements of police 

forces around the world. The cabin is night vision goggle (NVG) compatible, and can be configured with 

a state-of-the-art avionics glass cockpit. In addition, the wide, unobstructed cabin, with its flat floor and 

multipurpose rails, allows operators to quickly and easily change configurations / mission equipment. 

In accordance with the requirements of many police forces around the world, a wide range of equipment 

has been developed to ensure flexibility and support missions like: 

• Observation and command 

• Airborne surveillance 

•Pursuit 

• Border patrol 

• Police escort 

• Rapid transportation of special equipment and units.

5.5 NVG Certification 

Besides military night reconnaissance, tactical night vision and special forces operations, the use of 

Night Vision Goggles (NVG) greatly increases the operational capabilities and safety of the mission, in 

both civil applications from border control patrol surveillance to HEMS. 

By enabling night vision, NVGs have the potential to improve the safety of visual flight at night. NVGs 

provide pilots with a significant increase in the quality of visual information compared with unaided night 

vision. They allow the pilot to visualize the horizon, objects, terrain and weather more easily. Furthermore, 

they assist the pilot to maintain spatial orientation, to avoid hazards such as inadvertent Instrument 

Meteorological Conditions (IMC) entry and to visually navigate. 

The EC135 offers as an option full NVG compatible cockpit and cabin layouts as well as exterior 

lighting, to support NVG operations. 

The EC135 NVG capability has been certified with Night Vision Goggles. On customers request, 

EUROCOPTER DEUTSCHLAND GMBH ® will develop and certify other configurations and support 

also Night Vision Goggle systems from other manufacturers. Please note that classic night flight capability 

remains unrestricted.

7 Support information 

7.1 Assets 

Proven reliability and availability based on experience 

Eurocopters' helicopter production programs have developed a strong reputation worldwide for being 

fully committed to providing customers with operational, capable aircraft that achieve high availability 

combined with cost-effective support systems. To achieve this record of performance, Eurocopter has 

stressed the importance of working together with its customers to ensure constant feedback on their 

demonstrated in-service Reliability, Availability and Maintainability/Testability (RAM) data. The main 

objective is to reach the most optimized operational cost ensuring the highest flight safety. 

Eurocopter has built and delivered EC135 / EC635 family helicopters since 1996. More than 850 helicopters 

are in service worldwide. The total flight hours accumulated at the end of the year 2009 are 

more than 1,600,000Fh. 

7.2 Inspection Program 

Airframe inspection program 

The Maintenance Program specifies the intervals between maintenance operations that are recommended 

by Eurocopter, irrespective of whether they are mandatory or not. 

The program can: 

• either be used as is, 

• or be adapted by each operator to suit his own specific organization, provided he complies with the 

maximum intervals. 

For the performance of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, Eurocopter has classified the maintenance 

tasks by the following three maintenance levels: 

Organizational level (O) 

This level comprises tasks such as the daily servicing, pre-flight checks, visual inspections for condition, 

replacement of modular components and simple repairs. This work can be performed by trained 

helicopter mechanics with standard tools only (no special tools necessary). 

Intermediate level (I) 

This level comprises tasks such as smaller repairs ON/OFF helicopter, periodical inspections and replacement 

of modular components as well as modifications. This work can be performed by trained 

and experienced mechanics and may require the usage of special tools and/or test equipment. 

Depot level (D) 

This level comprises tasks such as repairs OFF helicopter, overhaul of major components and heavy 

airframe repair. This work can be performed by OEM, authorized Repair Centers or Eurocopter and 

requires the usage of special overhaul and repair tools, as well as test benches (if required) according 

to repair manuals or instructions. 

The maintenance tasks defined as O- and I-Level are described in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual 

(AMM) and can be conducted by operator's mechanics after successful completion of the relevant training 

courses. 

The following table provides an overview of all Scheduled Airframe Inspections. Scheduled inspections 

with shorter time intervals are fully incorporated into those with longer time intervals, this means, that 

for example the Periodical Inspection contains the 12-month inspection. 

135.10.101.01 E Page 151 of 168 




Scheduled airframe inspection Maintenance level Estimated mean man hours

O - Level 25 hours 

Intermediate inspection every 400 hours 

(max. exceedance by 40 hours) 

Periodical inspection every 800 hours 

or 3 years 

(max. exceedance by 80 hours or 3 months) 

Supplementary inspections according to operating 

time (max. exceedance by 10%) 

Conditional inspections after specific operational 

incidents (max. exceedance 10%) 

Table 7.1: Inspections 

All "Estimated Man Hours" mentioned above refer to scheduled inspections in accordance with the 

Master Servicing Manual (MSM) for the baseline aircraft without optional equipment. The announced 

Man Hours are without rectification, ground run and test flight, work preparation and documentation 

work as well as servicing. 

Continuous maintenance program: 

Alternatively to the inspections at 400h/800h, the customer can apply a continuous maintenance program. 

The CMP gives the operator the maximum flexibility to perform specified work packages within 

a given timeframe. Depending on operational circumstances the CMP can increase and optimize 

aircraft availability

Time Between Overhauls (TBO): 

The component in question must be removed at each interval that corresponds to the value indicated, 

in order to undergo the operations in a specialized workshop that will enable it to be put back into service 

for the next interval. A TBO is granted with a 3% operational margin. All subcomponents may have 

a Service Life limit, rated above the TBO limit. 

Service Life Limited (SLL): 

The service life limit is an airworthiness limit. The affected component must be removed from service 

when it reaches the limit indicated.

The TCP is our customized "pay-by-the-hour" support plan that includes support services selected by 

the operator from a comprehensive menu: 

• Engine overhaul / major engine refurbishment 

• Hot Section Inspection (HSI) 

• Basic Unscheduled Removals (BUR) 

• Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) component replacement 

• Spare engines 

• Accessory BUR coverage 

Under the TCP TM , the operator pays a guaranteed hourly fee ($/EFH) on a monthly basis tailored to 

his requirements. The TCP TM rate is based on: 

• Operating environment 

• Mission profile 

• Maintenance program, such as Time Between Overhaul (TBO) and HSI intervals 

• Engine model 

• Number of engines/spares 

• Times and cycles accumulated on engines 

• Selected support services 

• Maintenance and logistic activities covered by the agreed scope 

• Length of plan 

7.5.1.3 PW206B2 Mean Time between Overhaul (MTBO) 

The PW206B2 engine can be overhauled as two (2) individual modules: 

• Perform overhaul of the turbomachinery module every 3500 hours. 

• Perform overhaul of the reduction gearbox module every 3500 hours. 

Individual recommendations to extend the TBO to 4000 hours can be provided to operators who submit 

a successful engine for TBO extension sampling. The full procedure is provided in the applicable engine 

maintenance manual. 

Page 156 of 168 135.10.101.01 E 




No Hot Section Inspection (HSI) is scheduled and, if necessary, component replacement will be on an 

on-condition basis. 

The maintenance plan for the PW206B2 engine incorporates the following features: 

The minimization of scheduled maintenance in accordance with MSG-III style analysis. 

Helicopter Engine Condition and Trend Monitoring (HECTM®) used to determine the economical 

threshold to perform refurbishment. 

Repair development will continue during service of the PW200 engine with the objective of expanding 

on repair schemes currently contained in both the Maintenance Manual and Overhaul Manual. This will 

keep engine maintenance costs, aircraft downtime, spare engine inventories and total operating costs 

to a minimum. 

Accessories Time Between Overhaul 

Engine accessories are monitored, as defined by the Illustrated Parts Catalog, with a removal threshold 

that is based on the operator's experience, with the following exception: TBO recommendation for the 

Fuel Management Module (FMM) is engine TBO plus 500 hours. 

Periodic Inspection - Tolerances 

Unless otherwise stated, the tolerance for periodic or scheduled inspections are as follows: 

• Hourly Interval tolerance: Ten percent (10%), or up to a maximum of 100 hours operating time, 

whichever is less. 

• Calendar Interval tolerance: Ten percent (10%), or up to a maximum of 30 days calendar time, 

whichever is less. 

NOTE:The tolerance is established for maintenance scheduling convenience only and must be approved 

by the governing civil aviation authority. Subsequent intervals will be adjusted to re-establish the 

original schedule. When an inspection is done more than 10% early, subsequent inspections will be 

advanced as required so as to not exceed the maximum tolerance. Concurrence and final approval of 

the inspection interval tolerance by the governing civil aviation authority is the responsibility of the owner/operator.

7.7 Training Means 

EUROCOPTER® has set up a network of 14 training centers. They provide a wide range of courses 

and services, from basic training up to preparation for the most sophisticated civil and military missions. 

As part of the full range of services on offer, Eurocopter also plays an active role in helicopter pilot development 

through its Ab Initio programs. 

Centers are equipped with multimedia classrooms. This includes computers, overhead projectors and 

state-of-the-art means such as Computer Based Training (CBT), Computer Aided Instruction (CAI), 

and Avionics Trainer (AVT). Some centers also have self-learning laboratories. 

Since early 2009, training can be performed on EUROCOPTER® owned simulators, FTD (Flight Training 

Device), of highest level according to EASA and JAA standards - based in Europe and North America. 

CTB 

The term "Computer Based Training" covers a large variety of training means and methods. It is sometimes 

used as collective term including all teaching and learning schemes using a preset learning environment 

on the computer with which the trainee interacts. 

Figure 7.1: Computer Based Training 

135.10.101.01 E Page 159 of 168 




The range covered by the term "Computer Based Training" can be classified by the degree of interactivity. 

Limited possibilities for interaction are offered by "Presentation Systems" (e.g. multimedia encyclopaedias, 

world maps etc.). Interactions are limited to the navigation (control interaction) within the multimedia 

content. 

A medium degree of interaction is offered by "Tutorial Systems". In these systems the control interaction 

is combined with didactical interaction. 

A complex degree of interaction is reached with "Simulation Systems", which reproduce a model of reality 

and permits less risk trials. In the context of Computer Based Training (CBT) for the EC135, the 

term "CBT" is to be understood as "Tutorial System". 

All learning content is displayed on the screen. The trainee can navigate through the content by using 

control elements in the footer of the screen. The provided information is edited with respect to the used 

medium, i.e. using multimedia technologies. Spoken text explains the learning content and guides the 

trainee during reception of the shown graphics and animations. The combination of different code systems 

(graphics, spoken text, written text etc.), received through different channels of perception increases 

the effectiveness of learning. 

Figure 7.2: Example of the Tutorial System 

CBT focuses on the trainee; the requirements and possibilities of the trainee are to be considered. Although 

an implementation of CBT in a classroom environment is possible, CBT studies are individual 

studies. The CBT enables the trainee to proceed at his own pace and to repeat or skip learning content 

due to his own requirements. Independent learning of fixed schedules or specified rooms is made possible 

by the use of portable computers. 

CAI 

The CAI (Computer Aided Instruction) product family was designed by Eurocopter as a powerful training 

system for the operators of Eurocopter helicopters. The training system is intended to be used by 

pilots and technicians of the helicopter types EC135, EC635 and EC145. 

Page 160 of 168 135.10.101.01 E 




AVT 

The EC135 Avionics Trainer fills the gap between CBT/CAI training tools and a FTD. Several touch 

screens are arranged in the same way as the cockpit panels in the real helicopter. Commercial off the 

shelf (COTS) hardware is used, in order to offer a cost efficient training device. All avionic components 

will be controlled via touch screens. Accurate EC135 flight mechanics and the original manufacture 

software (same as in the helicopter) will ensure a high quality simulation. 

FTD 

Following a competitive evaluation of the leading flight simulation suppliers, Eurocopter teamed up with 

two of the most capable partners to provide not just one trainer more, but the best system of its class, 

with CAE of Germany and Indra Spain. 

The EC135® FTD uses State-of-the-art technology, backed by top quality, provided by industry leaders 

and the aircrafts original manufacturer. The extensive use of commodity hardware and software guarantees 

a cost efficient solution for today's demanding training environment. 

At the same time, the simple and highly reliable system, with an unbeatable record of low maintenance 

effort will be provided in the latest available aircraft configurations with guaranteed through-life upgrades. 

Realistic and the closest to reality behavior of the EC135® FTD are the essential basis for operational 

flight safety guaranteed by the best in class training standards. 

Training credits can be achieved on the FTD as demonstrated in the Eurocopter FTD operated in 

Eurocopter's Donauwörth facilities. Nevertheless, the granting of training credits is solely governed by 

local airworthiness authorities.
