Eurocopter s 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. 355 N E 1 This document is the property of EUROCOPTER ; no part of it shall be reproduced or transmitted without the express prior written authorization of EUROCOPTER and its contents shall not be disclosed.

4 1- Foreword The AS 355 N twin engine version of the ECUREUIL family is powered with 2 TURBOMECA ARRIUS 1A engines of 520 shp (388 kw) each. It benefits from the FADEC system (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) which makes piloting easier and safer. it is the most affordable twin-engine helicopter in the market. Thanks to its two engines and its redundant systems, the AS 355 N is able to perform missions such as flights over water, or hostile environments by day and night. Equipped with options required by the local regulation, it is compliant with the JAR OPS 3 regulation requirements for operations in performance class 1. More particularly, it is totally suited for police and MEDEVAC operations over large cities, aerial work and offshore support operations. It is fully Category A and IFR certified. It can also be equipped with a 3 axis autopilot. Thanks to its single engine flight performance, the AS 355 N is able to operate from building rooftops, to work near power lines or to ensure safe harbour pilot transportation. 355 N E 3 This document is the property of EUROCOPTER ; no part of it shall be reproduced or transmitted without the express prior written authorization of EUROCOPTER and its contents shall not be disclosed.

10 Criteria for Category A or JAR OPS 3 operations The twin-engined helicopters that are : certified according to FAR Part 27 compliant with the FAR Part 29 requirements for CAT.A engine insulation compliant with the JAR Part 29 requirements, as clarified in IEM OPS 3480 have the Category A equivalence. The ECUREUIL AS355N complies with the above-mentioned requirements and thus has the Category A equivalence, which is mandatory for JAR OPS 3 operations in performance class 1 and 2. All the conditions relating to the helicopter that are required for the JAR OPS 3 Performance Class 1 operations are met by the ECUREUIL AS355N as soon as : 1. the aircraft is equipped with the "Engines fire-extinguishing system". This installation is available as an optional item on new helicopter (commercial reference CI) or it can be installed after delivery according to the Service Bulletin n the weight conditions for the procedure on helipad are respected. These are described in the Flight Manuel Supplement n 2 "Procedures and performance data on clear airfield and helipad with one engine inoperative - Normal mode and Training mode". 3 All other equipment items, required by the local flight regulations of the country concerned, are installed and serviceable. 355 N E 9 This document is the property of EUROCOPTER ; no part of it shall be reproduced or transmitted without the express prior written authorization of EUROCOPTER and its contents shall not be disclosed.
