SYSTEMS COURSE
Welcome to the EUROCOPTER AS350B3 Electrical Reproduction or translation in whole or part of the
Systems Course. This course was designed to instruct contents of this publication without permission of
maintenance personnel on the AS350B3 helicopter only. American Eurocopter is not authorized.
Due to the unlimited variations of avionics installations,
this course content will focus on the AS350B3 model Edition 1, January 2015
airframe electrical systems and not relate to any avionics
systems.

AS350B3 WIRING DIAGRAM MANUAL The chapters are numbered according to the following
principle:
Introduction Chapter - Section - Subject
AB CD EF
The Wiring Diagrams Manual (WDM) is designed to
provide operators with the knowledge they require to The first three figures (A, B, C) are those of the ATA
carry out failure analysis and to maintain the helicopter, Specification 100. The next three figures (D, E, F) are
both on the flight line and in the hangar. those determined by the helicopter manufacturer.
The Wiring Diagrams Manual is structured according the – 101 - 199 for the block schematics
ATA Specification 100 breakdown using the "Chapter - – 1001 - 1999 for the detailed diagrams.
Section - Subject" numbering with six figures.
