1 Foreword
® ®
The AS365 N3+ belongs to the famous DAUPHIN family. It is a medium twin engine helicopter of
4,300 kg Maximum Take-Off Weight based on the type certificate of AS365 N3.
The AS365 N3+ is a powerful and fast helicopter that provides outstanding performance and long
range capabilities.
Its two Turbomeca ARRIEL 2C turbine engines fitted with Full Authority Digital Engine Control
System (FADEC), makes it a helicopter particularly well adapted for operations in high altitude and
hot countries.
In order to ease the crew workload, the AS365 N3+ has been fitted with the unique Airbus
® ® ®
Helicopters dual digital 4-axis Autopilot, APM 2010, also implemented on EC145 T2 , EC155 ,
® ® ®
EC175 , EC225 & EC725 . This state of the art AFCS is the 1st Autopilot ever designed
specifically for helicopters. As a fly-through system, it offers no resistance to pilot initiated override
maneuvres and maximizes safety and mission efficiency.
For more practicality, the main instrument panel is equipped with a 10.4 inches mission display
touch screen that relays the information brought by the various dedicated mission equipment such
as the DMAP, EOS, Radar, TCAS, EGPWS, DF ...
Thanks to its versatile cabin, the AS365 N3+ can operate different missions like Offshore, VIP,
Executive, Public Services, EMS, Surveillance and Full SAR (Day & Night) operations.
Its useful volume can be fitted with various seating arrangements to accommodate up to
12 passengers plus 2 crew members.
A wide range of optional equipment contributing to increase safety and mission efficiency, such as
Flight Management System or SAR modes are proposed.

Technical Data
®
The AS365 N3+ also incorporates the new generation, all composite FENESTRON tail rotor that
provides high maneuvrability, exceptional efficiency at all speeds, and unparalleled ground & in
flight crew safety, with a low sound level making it the quietest in its category.
Over 1050 units of the DAUPHIN family have been delivered to date, cumulating more than
5,996,200 flight hours.
The AS365 N3+ complies to the latest offshore regulations. In case of ditching, the helicopter is
notably certified for water landing in the harshest conditions (up to sea state 6).
Technical advancements developed by Airbus Helicopters on the AS365 N3+ include modular
®
design of the mechanical assemblies, use of composite materials (STARFLEX rotor head,
blades, airframe...) which has led to significant maintenance reduction.
Airbus Helicopters is deeply aware that the majority of the cost of ownership is incurred over the
operational life of the helicopter. Indeed, as much as 60 % of the life cycle costs occurs during the
in-service phase. For this reason, reliability, maintainability and supportability are the cornerstones
of the design of all Airbus Helicopters products.
The basic AS365 N3+ vehicle design is based on the concept of Reliability Centered
Maintenance and, as such, embodies a modern concept of dynamic assemblies and systems, use
of composite materials, redundant systems and unlimited service life of main components.
The AS365 N3+ possesses “designed-in maintainability” with numerous interchangeable parts that
can be replaced quickly to ease maintenance and reduce down time. The main components
(engines, main rotor head, main gearbox) have a modular design and are directly accessible, with
minimum requirements to remove other components of the helicopter.

2.11 Automatic Flight Control System
Through the years, Airbus Helicopters has developed unique competencies in AFCS software
design. With the APM2010 computer, it has developed the most advanced autopilot specifically
designed for helicopters. Airbus Helicopters’ Automatic Flight Control System is a sophisticated
digital 4-axis autopilot that offers no resistance to pilot initiated override manoeuvres and provides
an utmost safety thus making flying a child’s play.
Taking into account the parameters supplied by the Air Data Computers, the AFCS determines the
helicopter Flight envelope with VNE (Velocity Never to Exceed) and Vy (Optimum Rate-of-Climb) to
prevent the helicopter from exceeding the flight envelope.
This AFCS provides unique functionalities :
Unrivalled mission effectiveness:

z Supports pilot task when all engines operative:
4-axis collective management optimized for cruise flight, using the Upper modes, such
as: ‘ALT’,‘HDG’, ‘IAS’,‘ALT.A’, ‘V/S’,’ Go-Around’, ‘VOR’, ‘NAV’, ‘LOC’, ‘G/S’,’Cruise
Height’. Thanks to the "4-axis" mechanization, multiple combinations of these modes
are available,
No more speed limitation for Automatic ILS approach,
No more up and down variations during speed reduction in automatic ILS procedures,
No more trimming of cyclic for pilots below 30 kts thanks to effort detection and
Automatic Trim follow-up,
No altitude limitation for 4-axis use.
z Supports pilot task for SAR operation (SAR modes to be ordered separately):
Fully automatic transitions to hover
Unrivalled precision and stability of automatic hover leading to faster rescue and safer
hoisting procedures
Automatic hover possible over ships and over land
Unrivalled safety, supports the pilot should one engine fail:

z Automatic management of 1 engine failure with priority to maintain altitude
z Automatic Emergency go-around procedure in case of engine failure during hoisting
The AFCS is controlled through one Autopilot Mode Selector (APMS), installed on the central
console in the sight area of both pilots, the cyclic and collective grips pushbuttons and the
overhead panel controls.
The Autopilot Module (APM) provides fully coupled Autopilot function in pitch, roll, yaw and
collective axis, providing the basic stabilization and the upper modes’ functions in the same unit.
The AFCS receives the information acquired and consolidated by the MFD's (data centralizer),
such as, glide/localizer deviations, VOR bearing, selected course, roll steering command, radio
height. It receives also engine information such as Free Turbine speed, torque, NG and T4.
Note: A Stability Augmentation Sub-mode (SAS) function (Back-up mode) allows the pilot to take over; when
the auto-trim function is disabled, the basic AFCS provides stabilit augmentation on pitch, roll and yaw
axis using the series actuators.
12 365 N3+ 16.101.01 E

® ® ®
Technical Data
In SAR mission configuration, the AFCS is completed with the SAR modes option to better support
pilots tasks during SAR operations. The unrivalled precision and stability of automatic hover it
provides enable faster rescues and safer hoisting procedures. The SAR modes include :
GSPD : Ground speed acquisition and hold
HT/HOV : Autonomous transition down or hover height acquisition and hold
F/TDN : Automatic transition down to hover (Trans-Down)
TUP : Automatic transition from the hover to acquisition and hold of a predefined
radar height and airspeed (Trans-Up)
Note: Taking into account the parameters supplied by the Air Data Computers the AFCS determines the
helicopter flight envelope with VNE (Velocity Never to Exceed) and Vy (Optimum Rate-of-Climb) to
prevent the helicopter from exceeding the flight envelope (flight envelope protection). Moreover the
AFCS provides the crew with an on-ground adjustable safety speed (Vtoss) through pitch beep in order
to manage an engine failure from the hover (GA mode).

4 Mission Configurations
Airbus Helicopters proposes different mission configurations for the AS365 N3+. The benefits for
the customer are a state of the art helicopter that complies with current operational and regulation
requirements.
According to this standardisation approach, the helicopter configurations are built the following
manner:
A standard mission configuration

An interior layout (to be selected in the ‘Mandatory Equipment’ List)
Mission Equipment to be chosen from the ‘Further Available Equipement’ List
Two core avionics suites are proposed. The first one includes the Garmin GNS 430W suite, and is
dedicated to missions which cover Offshore, VIP, Executive and Public Services roles. The second
one, including the Collins Proline 21 suite coupled with the FMS CMA 9000, is dedicated to SAR
role.
These two core avionics suites are completed with optional equipment complying with the specific
mission.
The standard mission cannot be modified and must be completed with one interior layout to be
chosen from the “Mandatory Equipment” List.
Finally, “Further Equipment Available” may be added, for further customisation depending on
mission’s needs.
The AS365 N3+ standard mission configurations are:
Oil & Gas Offshore passenger transport

Executive passenger transport
Public Services
SAR mission
In the same philosophy a recommended configuration is proposed for VIP transport:
VIP passenger transport
Any modification and/or complement of the proposed mission configuration must be done in with
assistance of an Airbus Helicopters’ sales representative.

4.5 SAR Favorite

The SAR configuration has been studied to provide its operators the best conditions to operate
day & night in all weather conditions.
The configuration is fitted with an FMS/ GPS installation coupled to a digital 4-axis autopilot
integrating full SAR modes (includes automatic transitions, search patterns and hover mode),
one sliding window on each each bubble sliding door to easier the search phase, a maritime
transponder allows dynamic exchanges with ships and helicopters (AIS subscribers).
In addition, the SAR configuration is capable of a wide range of equipment such as hoist,
floatation gear, searchlight, rappelling, hailer, etc. to enlarge the mission scopes.
Full SAR modes maximize the level of

safety and minimize pilot’s workload.
Ship borne capabilities : moorings for bad

weather conditions, blade folding for an
easy parking in the confined areas, small
foot print to allow landing on small
platforms.
Beacons fully comply with the latests

regulations standards and all include their
own GPS sensors.
The hoist installation now includes a

static discharger for an improved
operational safety.
The transponder is ADSB-out compatible.

Extended squitter function available on
request.

6.5.1 HCare Easy

HCare Easy is a classical way of material support. The material is delivered on demand when
needed. It comprises spare parts, components repair & overhaul, second hand parts, standard
exchange and tool/GSE rental.
The requested level of operational availability determines provisioning part quantities and therefore
the required investment.
With this support concept the customer bears the responsibility to monitor repairs; manage
obsolescence and procure the right mix and quantity of components and spare parts.
An Aircraft On Ground (AOG) service is available for orders of spare parts. The order placed by the
customer shall cover an actual failure (and not a scheduled maintenance shortage) and may
consist of up to 3 items per grounded aircraft listed in the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC), except
main assemblies, raw materials, ingredients and hazardous material. In the case of direct part
availability, the parts will be immediately delivered under CIP (Incoterms 2010) conditions to the
nearest international airport with delivery times dependent on the region and export license
requirements (normally 48 to 72 hours).
Within that range, Airbus Helicopters provides a comprehensive initial provisioning package. It
includes spare parts, tools, test equipment, etc.to sustain helicopter operations for a defined initial
period of time. The dimension of the package is tailored to the number of helicopters, Flight Hours
per year and requested availability.
