INSTALLED ENGINE LIMITS *** As the actual limitations depend on ambient conditions, the
(cont.) operational limitations are the Mg values. Ng values correspond to the
maximum Ng reached in the whole flight domain.
**** Note: The engine is not physically derated but its performance is
limited when installed in the AS350B3. Specific limitations have been
implemented in the VEMD, allowing the pilot to control the installed Arriel
2D at the same power limitations as when an Arriel 2B1 is installed, for
each aircraft rating (MCP, MTOP and MTP).
***** Use of HIP (Hover Increased Power, TOP 30 min) is allowed when
enhanced thermal protection is fitted on the AS350B3 tail boom
(modification OP-4309).

Edition, Amendment 9 Chapter1 11 (11.4.1))
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT The basic required equipment, as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness
regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the airplane.
NOTES:
NOTE 1 Weight and balance. Current weight and balance report including the list of equipment
included in the certificated empty weight and loading instructions when necessary, must be
provided for each aircraft at its delivery. The certificated empty weight and corresponding
center of gravity location must include unusable fuel and undrainable oil. To obtain the
proper weight and C. G. information, the helicopter must be jacked up rather than supported
on the skids. If modifications affecting the weight and C. G. are applied to the helicopter,
consult the instructions on the RFM.
AIRBUS HELICOPTERS 05 September 2024 ER-8812-23 Sheet 19/20
NOTE 2 Markings and placards. All markings and placards for passenger information, external
markings for emergency, and load limits in cargo/baggage compartments must be
presented in Portuguese or bilingual (Portuguese and English). The following placard must
be displayed in the clear view of the pilot:
“THE MARKINGS AND PLACARDS INSTALLED ON THIS HELICOPTER
CONTAIN OPERATING LIMITATIONS WHICH MUST BE COMPLIED WITH
WHEN OPERATING THIS ROTORCRAFT. OTHER OPERATING LIMITATIONS
WHICH MUST BE COMPLIED WITH WHEN OPERATING THIS ROTORCRAFT
ARE CONTAINED IN THE ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL. THE
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION OF THE ROTORCRAFT
MAINTENANCE MANUAL MUST BE COMPLIED WITH.”
For the approved markings and placards translations contact the TC holder or STC holder
(as applicable) and/or ANAC at the following address: progcert@anac.gov.br.
NOTE 3 Continuing Airworthiness. Service information, service bulletins, repair manuals, vendor
manuals, rotorcraft flight manuals and maintenance manuals, which contain a statement
that the document is EASA approved, are accepted by the ANAC and are considered ANAC
approved. These approvals pertain to the type design only.
Any alteration to the type design of the rotorcraft may require instructions for Continued
Airworthiness. These instructions must be submitted and accepted by the EASA/ANAC prior
to approval for return to service.
The retirement times of certain parts and inspection requirements listed in the section 5.99
“Airworthiness Limitations” are mandatory. These values of retirement times and
inspections cannot be changed without EASA and ANAC engineering approval.
NOTE 4 The differences of the Brazilian helicopters relating to the basic EASA type design are:
1. The Brazilian Helicopters Flight Manual approved by EASA on behalf of ANAC; and
2. Marking and Placards in Portuguese language or bilingual (see Note 2).
NOTE 5 The weight breakdown and C.G. limit document containing the list of equipment included in
the certificated empty weight and the loading instructions shall accompany the helicopter at
the time of the initial certification and on a permanent basis from that period on. In order to
obtain the most correct weight and C.G. data, the helicopter shall be jacked up its lifting
points rather than using the skids. Should modifications affecting weight and C.G. position
to be incorporated, the Flight Manual instructions shall be referred to.
NOTE 6 The speeds vary constantly as a function of the external conditions (temperature and
altitude) but correspond to a fixed Ng marked “0” on the indicator, which is the limit to be
observed by the pilot on takeoff. For other conditions, the figures in brackets correspond to
Ng values on the instrument.
NOTE 7 Helibras (Brazil) has signed with Eurocopter France (now AIRBUS HELICOPTERS) a
technical cooperation agreement contract to manufacture in Brazil the AS 350 BA,
AS 350 B2 and AS 350 B3 models using kits produced by Eurocopter (now AIRBUS
HELICOPTERS), in conformity to the EASA approved Type design. Helibras helicopters
are produced under Helibras Production Certificate, assembled and tested in accordance
with procedures approved under the French type design by Eurocopter (now AIRBUS
HELICOPTERS) and accepted by the ANAC under the terms and conditions of Helibras
Production Certificate.
Helicopter serial numbers produced by Helibras as the manufacturer are identified in
Eurocopter (now AIRBUS HELICOPTERS) document N° L102-001 – latest revision (list of
serial numbers of stage 2 helicopters produced by Helibras) referenced in both the French
and the Brazilian Type Certificate Data Sheets. The helicopter serial number with prefix
"AS" are equivalent to those ones described in the Eurocopter (now AIRBUS
HELICOPTERS) document N° L102-001, without the prefix "AS" (Serial Number AS 2860
= 2860).
AIRBUS HELICOPTERS 05 September 2024 ER-8812-23 Sheet 20/20
NOTE 8 AS350B3e is a commercial designation of the AS350B3 model which type design
incorporates the following modifications:
• OP-4305 (Arriel 2D engine installation), and additionally
• 07-5601 (Tail rotor control mechanism modification)
