The Airbus AS350, now primarily known as the H125, is a single-engine, light utility helicopter recognized for its outstanding performance, versatility, and ability to operate in extreme environments, including high altitudes and hot climates; it’s particularly famous for achieving the highest-altitude landing and take-off on Mount Everest in 2005, a record it still holds today; marketed as the “AStar” in North America, the H125 is considered a leader in its class, often used for passenger transport, aerial filming, and utility work, with a reputation for low maintenance costs and reliable operation.
