The AS-350 B3 Squirrel is a high-performance aircraft renowned for its precision in the placement of external or underslung loads. As the most robust variant in the AS-350 range, the B3 excels in lifting heavy loads, particularly in challenging high-altitude environments. Notably, it stands as the sole aircraft type to have successfully landed on the summit of Mt. Everest, a testament to its unparalleled capabilities.

Our aircraft has undergone meticulous weight optimisation to maximise its payload capacity, particularly for operations in high-altitude terrain such as Mt. Ruapehu, the highest peak in the North Island of New Zealand. Here, we routinely transport loads exceeding 1,000 kilograms, while at lower altitudes the aircraft can lift up to 1,400 kilograms.

ZK-HKC is also fitted with a FastFin system and can be configured with two external cargo baskets. This provides excellent flexibility for utility and lifting operations, allowing tools, equipment and operational gear to be carried externally while preserving valuable cabin space.

In addition to its cargo-carrying prowess, the AS-350 B3 Squirrel can swiftly transition into passenger transport mode when needed. With the option of a single pilot and seating for up to six passengers (using the optional dual front seat), or with the added safety of two pilots accommodating up to four passengers, the aircraft ensures flexibility and safety in every mission. Ample space is available for luggage or equipment, ensuring that all necessary items can be conveniently transported to the site.

The AS-350 B3 Squirrel is a high-performance aircraft renowned for its power, versatility and precision when carrying external or underslung loads. Particularly capable in demanding terrain and high-altitude environments, ZK-HKT provides the same impressive lifting performance as ZK-HKC, with a maximum external load capacity of up to 1,400 kilograms depending on operating conditions.

ZK-HKT is well suited to lifting and construction work, forestry operations, firefighting, agricultural work and general utility missions throughout the Central North Island and beyond.

For equipment and operational support, ZK-HKT can be fitted with a single external cargo basket, allowing tools, equipment and other items to be carried securely while keeping the cabin available for passengers or additional operational requirements.

ZK-HKT is also particularly well suited to passenger transport, featuring a sliding passenger door similar to our AS-350FX2. This provides excellent access to the rear cabin and makes loading and unloading passengers, equipment and supplies quick and convenient.

The aircraft can be configured for a single pilot with seating for up to six passengers using the optional dual front seat, or with two pilots and seating for up to four passengers. Ample space is also available for luggage and operational equipment.

The AS-350FX2 Squirrel is a versatile aircraft suited for a wide range of missions, from passenger transport and precise load placement to aerial filming, winching operations, and agricultural tasks.

While its maximum lift capacity of 1,000 kilograms falls short of the AS-350B3, it surpasses the capabilities of the AS-350B2, especially in high-altitude or hot climate conditions. This aircraft has been carefully engineered to remain lightweight, enabling it to carry maximum payloads efficiently.

In passenger transport mode, the AS-350FX2 can be swiftly configured to accommodate varying needs. With the option of a single pilot and seating for up to six passengers (utilizing the optional dual front seat), or with the added safety of two pilots and room for up to four passengers, the aircraft ensures flexibility and safety in every operation. Ample space is available for luggage or equipment, ensuring that all necessary items can be conveniently transported for the journey or on-site tasks.

The Robinson R66, featuring five seats and a dedicated cargo compartment, is ideally suited for passenger transport and equipment carriage.

Typically configured for one pilot and up to four passengers, this helicopter offers ample space and comfort for both occupants and gear. Additionally, the R66 can be seamlessly outfitted with an underbelly spray tank and booms for aerial spraying operations. Alternatively, equipped with a cargo hook, it efficiently transports external loads with precision and speed, making it a versatile and reliable choice for various missions.
