Eurocopter H130 Helicopter

Originally built by Eurocopter (Aerospatiale / MBB heritage), now Airbus Helicopters.

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 comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

  • Variant — EC130 B4 vs H130 (EC130 T2) — the T2/H130 is the more powerful refined variant.
  • Fenestron tail rotor — verify condition; the shrouded design is a defining feature.
  • Safran Arriel engine — program enrollment, hot section status.
  • Tour-fleet history — many EC130s are ex-tour-operator with high cycles; verify maintenance.
  • Component overhauls — rotor head, gearbox, blades.

Which EC130? An H130/T2 for the modern refined wide-cabin single; EC130 B4 for value with tour-history inspection.
