The Airbus Helicopters H160 medium twin has been granted type certification by Japan’s Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB), paving the way for entry into service in that country with All Nippon Helicopters (ANH). ANH already operates six Airbus Helicopters AS365s and five H135s used for electronic newsgathering. Customer preparation already has begun, while technical training is now underway in Kobe, Japan, where an H160 Helionix avionics trainer has been deployed.
Additional H160 deliveries are slated for later this year in Brazil, UK, and U.S. The aircraft received EASA type certification approval in July 2020, though FAA certification is still pending. The H160 features technologies such as noise-reducing Blue Edge main rotor blades and more fuel-efficient Safran Arrano engines.
