Foreword

The light single-engine EC130B4 is the last member of the successful ECUREUIL family.
The ultra-quiet EC130B4 integrates the latest technological advances of EUROCOPTER's new generation
helicopters : a new 7/8 seats enlarged cabin with enhanced comfort, a new tailboom with quiet Fenestron
shrouded tail rotor, a dual channel FADEC unit plus a third independent and automatic channel for engine
control, an automatic variable rotor speed control for noise reduction, a dual hydraulic system. The main
rotor head, main gearbox and engine (except FADEC) are those of the AS350B3, ensuring the EC130B4 an
high level of performance.
It is fully equipped with VFR day-time radio navigation (standard "ready to fly" package) associated with an
integrated instrument panel (double color screen VEMD, GPS with color map display) and has the capability
of night-time VFR flight.
Component community with EUROCOPTER light helicopters' range results in a helicopter respectful of the
environment, easy and affordable to maintain, offering the same world-beating performance parameters, as
the AS350B3.
The EC130B4 plays in the passengers transport register and answers to the public transport, corporate and
tourism market segments thanks to its enlarged cabin, its modern technology, its comfort, and its "ready-to-
fly" concept. It is used as well, as a "light truck" for utility, EMS and parapublic missions thanks to its low
external noise signature, large cabin volume and high performance level, and is considered by some military
forces as replacement of former Alouette III.

(- 1.2 dB / GCNP noise rule 7 PAX)

Internal noise
The noise in the cabin is also improved in order to increase pilot and passengers comfort.
Measures have been realised on a standard aircraft and give the following mean levels :
n 81.3 dB SIL4 2 in hover inside ground effect
n 86.1 dB SIL4 in cruise flight at 120 kts

1 GCNP = Grand Canyon National Park.

2 The method of sound level measurement used is Speech Interference Level (dB SIL4). This is the arithmetic
average of 4 octave (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz) levels specified in dBlin (linear deciBels). This particular set of
octaves corresponds to the human voice frequency range and thus allows to evaluate the interference with
passenger communication.

7- Customer Service Overview

Assets
n Possibility to perform maximum of maintenance tasks by operators through modular exchange,
n Low required manhour on the scheduled maintenance,
n Maintenance simple and easy to perform thanks to optimized accessibility to dynamic components and
equipment,
n Among innovative equipment providing flight information, the “Vehicle and Engine Multi-function Display”
(VEMD) also offers maintenance aids (failure data recording and troubleshooting information).
n Limited number of tools,
n No test bench,
n Among technical publications, Master Servicing Manual has been written in such a manner that it can be
used as a maintenance tasks repertory,
n In a near future, Customer Services network shall be gradually available for EC 130B4 through Ecureuil
numerous and experienced service stations (nearly 3000 Ecureuil flying all over the world).

Maintenance and maintainability data

"Scheduled" and "unscheduled" maintenance are considered in manhour figures given hereafter.

Scheduled maintenance
n Possibility to perform maintenance tasks according to each operator needs :

l blocked whole inspection (helicopter unavailable during all the inspection duration),

or

l “splitted” inspection (helicopter available for flight since the inspection is performed in several
batches of maintenance operations, in respect with the limitations and periodicities defined in the
Master Servicing Manual).

The data set forth in this document are general in nature and for information purposes only.
For performance data and operating limitations,reference must be made to the approved flight manual and all appropriate documents.

Documentation
Eurocopter EC 130 B4 technical documentation, pleasant and easy to consult, is basically supplied:

n On an Interactive Electronic Support (CD-ROM INDOC-EC130) that includes the whole

documentation : Operating (except Flight Manual), Maintenance, Identification and Specific documents.
The CD-ROM product presents great advantages such as :
t More efficiency in maintenance thanks to :
− Direct and instantaneous access to manuals and data by "hypertext" navigation
− Easy search by keywords and multiple criteria
− Highly portable technical publications in an extremely compact format
t Quick updating without insertion mistake risk.
and
n On paper
- Flight Manual
- Other documents : Master Servicing Manual, Service Bulletins

Note : 1. As an option , the whole documentation is available on paper.

2. Turbomeca Arriel 2B1 engine documentation is available on paper and shall become also available
on CD-ROM.
