Eurocopter AS350B
Squirrel

 Serial No  1594

This is a beautiful corporate Squirrel which will be supplied with a recently completed two year inspection and, if required, a fresh BA conversion

The new paint is of a particularly high standard in brilliant white to a Eurocopter design in metallic Ocean/Rich Blue edged in gold.


 
With perfect transparencies, the effect is stunning.

A VIP six place interior in soft blue/white leather with grey corded carpet and grey furnishings complement the exterior.

Optional equipment includes low skids, heating/demisting, crew windshield wipers and a slaved compass system.  The rotor brake is standard.

The component status is as shown and all mandatory Bulletins and Directives have been implemented at the proper times.  The documentation is complete from build.

Garmin’s new 420 multi-functional system has been installed in the centre console.  This provides primary communications as well as GPS information on the colour moving map.  Becker avionics, noted for their reliability, provide a second VHF comm, transponder and ADF.  


 
At a fast cruise speed of 125 knots “YH” can carry five persons in great comfort for over two hours giving a range in excess of 250 nautical miles.
