Royal Moroccan Air Force places an order for a fleet of H135 helicopters.
Moroccan Forces Royales Air Expands Fleet with H135 Helicopters for Military Training
The Moroccan Forces Royales Air has expanded its fleet with the addition of H135 helicopters for military primary training missions. The H135, a light twin-engine helicopter, is renowned for its versatility in training pilots to perform a wide array of demanding missions[1].
The H135 is equipped with Airbus Helicopters' advanced Helionix avionics suite, providing optimal safety conditions for basic and advanced mission training[1]. This modern and reliable helicopter offers a platform for easy and safe pilot transition onto more advanced helicopters[2].
The H135's mission capabilities in military training contexts typically include single-pilot IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) training, flight training for basic and advanced helicopter pilot skills, a high degree of agility and safety features, rapid reconfiguration to suit different training requirements, and support for multi-role training missions[1][2].
The new order brings the global fleet of H135 helicopters to 12 military customers, including the armed forces of the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Japan[3]. The contract includes an extensive support package, including the delivery of Flight Training Devices and the training of instructor pilots and maintenance pilots[4].
Arnaud Montalvo, Head of Africa and Middle East at Airbus Helicopters, expressed pride in the Forces Royales Air selecting the H135[5]. The training programme will enable the Forces Royale Air to take full advantage of the H135's multi-mission capabilities, such as NVG and winching[6].
With over 400,000 military training flight hours already achieved, the H135 has established itself as a proven benchmark for military training helicopters globally[7]. The H135 is a reliable and cost-efficient multirole helicopter that is ideally suited to transitioning to more complex aircraft[2].
In summary, the H135 provides the Moroccan Forces Royales Air with a modern, reliable, and flexible training platform specifically designed for military aviation training missions, emphasizing safety, advanced avionics, and multi-role adaptability[1][2].
