About the Eurocopter H130

The Eurocopter EC130 (and modern H130, EC130 T2) is the wide-cabin single-turbine derivative of the AS350 — a Fenestron shrouded tail rotor for lower noise and ground safety, a wide seven-seat cabin, and a smooth quiet ride that made it the favourite for air-tour operations (Grand Canyon, Hawaii) and VIP transport. Safran Arriel turbine, AS350 dynamic components. The EC130 trades some of the AS350's raw lift for cabin width, comfort and the quiet Fenestron.

Buying a Used Eurocopter H130

Buying a Eurocopter H130 centres on its turbine engine(s) — time to overhaul, hot-section history and any engine maintenance program — alongside airframe hours and cycles.

What to check before buying

  • Turbine engine status — hot-section and overhaul time, trend monitoring and whether the engine is on a maintenance program.
  • Airframe hours & cycles — high-utilisation turboprops accumulate cycles quickly; cycles can matter more than hours.
  • Equipment — cargo pod, floats/amphibian gear, de-ice and avionics all affect value.
  • Corrosion & logbooks — continuous records and a corrosion inspection, especially on float or marine-operated aircraft.
  • Pre-buy inspection — commission an independent pre-buy by a type-experienced shop.
