EUROCOPTER, its logo, EC120 B, COLIBRI, FENESTRON, SPHERIFLEX, VEMD, STYLENCE are trade marks of the Eurocopter group. Eurocopters policy is one of on-going product enhancement which means that alterations in definition, pictures, weights, dimensions or performance may be made at any time without notice being included in those documents that have already been issued. This document cannot thus be taken as an offer or serve as an appendix to a contract without a prior check as to its validity and prior written agreement of EUROCOPTER. The operational or certification regulations, as defined by the local authorities, can make compulsory the installation of some of the equipment and recommended solutions, listed in this document. This list does not claim to cover the whole of the worldwide operational requirements nor the equipment not specifically related to the helicopter (for example : life jacket) or necessary for particular missions (for example : supplemental oxygen). The operator is responsible for ascertaining with his local authorities that the planned configuration of the helicopter complies with regulatory requirements for the area(s) of operations and the type(s) of mission(s) considered.
The data set forth in this document are general in nature and for information purposes only. For performance data and operating limitations, reference must be made to the approved flight manual and all appropriate documents..

1- Foreword
The COLIBRI EC120 B is the smartest and most versatile very light turbine helicopter on the market. It fulfils the European JAR 27 issue 1 regulation for VFR operation by day and night1. It is certified for a single pilot being either on the right or on the left side. The aircraft is delivered with right side controls as standard (removable dual controls are on option). The helicopter has a Maximum Gross Weight of 1,715 kg / 3,781 lb. With its unobstructed cabin, fitted with energy attenuating seats each offering excellent visibility makes it perfectly suited for the following missions:

Corporate use, Passenger transport, Training, Police surveillance,
Offshore. The EC120 B has been designed to be environmental friendly, with an optimal external noise pattern which is 6.7 dB below the 85.4 dB required by the ICAO (chapter 11, appendix 4, Annex 16). It is one of the few helicopters meeting the very strict noise level requirements in the United States to fly over National Parks (GCNP). Furthermore the design has been focused on the reduction of operating costs and alleviated and simplified maintenance performed locally by the operator due to a modular design of main the mechanical components. Starting from 2007, the EC120 B is fully equipped with VFR day-time radio navigation (standard Ready to fly package) associated with an integrated instrument panel (double colour screen Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD), GPS with colour map display) and has the capability of night-time VFR flight. The TURBOMECA ARRIUS 2F turbine-engine, modular in design and with a low fuel consumption, has maximum take-off power rating at sea level, in ISA conditions, of 376 kW (504 shp 511 ch).
