Helis, July 08, 2020 - The next-generation and recently certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Airbus H160 helicopter built-in avionics includes the first world’s ground helipad assisted takeoff feature designed to reduce the pilot’s workload.

The outstanding auto-pilot with a brand new vortex pre-alerting system includes a recovery mode as well as the first ever automatic take-off procedure allowing the pilot to focus more on obstacle clearance.







  Comments


A "vortex pre-alerting system includes a recovery mode": It would be interesting to know the accident/incident that inspired such a system to be incorporated in the H160.
