EUROCOPTER®s policy is one of on-going product enhancement which means that alterations
in definition, pictures, weights, dimensions or performance may be made at any time without notice
being included in those documents that have been issued.
This document cannot thus be taken as an offer or serve as an appendix to a contract without a
prior check as to its validity and prior written agreement of EUROCOPTER®.
The operational or certification regulations, as defined by the local authorities, can make compul-
sory the installation of some of the equipment or recommended solutions, listed in this document.
This list does not claim to cover the whole of the worldwide operational requirements nor the
equipment not specifically related to the helicopter (for example: life jacket) or necessary for par-
ticular missions (for example: supplemental oxygen). The operator is responsible for ascertaining
with his local authorities that the planned configuration of the helicopter complies with regulatory
requirements for the area(s) of operations and the type(s) of mission(s) considered.

1 Foreword
The EC145, certified under the name BK117 C-2, is a twin-engine, multi-purpose helicopter of the 3-4
ton class with up to 12 seats for pilot/s and passengers. It combines EUROCOPTER®s latest develop-
ments, like advanced cockpit design, avionics and sophisticated electrical system with the rugged and
proven design elements of the BK117, as for example the rotor system. The EC145's hingeless rotor
system with its monolithic titanium hub ('System Bölkow') is proven all over the world. Furthermore, the
rotor blades have been improved with respect to higher performance and lower noise and vibration le-
vels. The use of the variable rotor speed and torque matching system (VARTOMS), known from the
predecessor model BK117 C-1 has been extended. Besides ameliorating flying comfort, this makes
the EC145 the quietest helicopter in its class bringing it to 6.7 DBA below ICAO limits.
In addition to environmental and economical aspects, the rotor system together with high TBO gearbox
and airframe components grant for low maintenance costs and on the other hand, high in-service-time
of the helicopter due to low scheduled maintenance required.
The EC145 is equipped with two powerful and reliable Turbomeca Arriel 1E2 engines which, in com-
bination with its lifting system, provide outstanding performance and vital power reserves even in one-
engine-inoperative (OEI) scenarios. Twin-engine reliability is complemented by a fully separated fuel
system, a tandem hydraulic system, dual electrical system and redundant lubrication for the main
transmission. Further positive safety aspects of the EC145 are design elements like energy absorbing
fuselage and seats, as well as crash resistant fuel cells. The EC145 allows Cat. A operation up to the
level of performance class 1 and performance class 2 according to JAR-OPS 3.
A wide range of optional equipment, like emergency floats, rescue hoist, SX16 search light, cargo
hook, plus many more is available for the EC145 and can be fitted simultaneously in most cases. To-
gether with its most versatile cabin layout (utility, comfort, corporate, ...), the EC145 is ready to take up
all sorts of missions, for example survey, transport, EMS, public service, to name a few.

Technical Data
The EC145 offers a choice of modern state-of-the-art glass cockpit solutions comprising primary flight
displays (PFD) and NAV displays (ND) as well as a central panel display system (CPDS). All LCD
screens are well arranged on the instrument panel, easy to read even if viewed from an angle and fea-
ture perfect readability in any light conditions. A NVG layout is available as an option. The unique
color coding, warning and information concept helps the pilot/s to collect all relevant parameters while
suppressing presentation of non-relevant information. Additionally, EUROCOPTER®s unique first limit
indicator (FLI) considerably simplifies engine and torque monitoring. Being relieved from extensive in-
strument scan without missing vital information, pilots can dedicate more of their attention to the mis-
sion.

Technical Data
In order to increase mission capabilities and flight safety during night operations, the EC145 can be
fitted with NVG compatible cockpit and cabin layouts as well as exterior lighting.
May 31, 2007, the first certification providing the EC145 with a NVG aided operation capability was
granted from EASA, FAA and TCCA (Canada). Thus Eurocopter is the first Original Equipment Manuf-
acturer (OEM) to offer this capability to civil operators.
The certification is based on one specific configuration using among others the MEGHAS display sys-
tem and the CMA3000 flight management system; suitable night vision goggles are specific goggles
with class B filter from well known manufacturers (at press date, certified goggles are ITT F4949 and
NOGALIGHT NL-93).
On customer's request, Eurocopter will develop and certify other configurations and support also night
vision goggle systems from other manufacturer.
Please note that classic night flight capability remains unrestricted.

7 Support information
7.1 Assets
EUROCOPTER® has built and delivered EC145 helicopters for almost ten years. More than 234 heli-
copters are in service world wide. The total flight hours accumulated at the end of December 2008 are
approximately 232,000 Fh. The "lead the fleet" aircraft has accumulated approximately 4,500 Fh.
The Maintenance Program specifies the intervals between maintenance operations that are recom-
mended by EUROCOPTER®, irrespective of whether they are mandatory or not.
The program can:
• either be used as is,
• or be adapted by each operator to suit his own specific organization, provided he complies with the
maximum intervals.
The following table provides an overview of all inspections. Scheduled inspections with shorter time
intervals have to be added to those with longer time intervals.
This means, that for example the Periodical Inspection contains the Supplementary Check and the 12-
Month Inspection.

Technical Data
Note
All the "hands-on" aircraft values mentioned here above are given on the basis of a 20,000 flight hours
life cycle. They refer only to the scheduled inspections for the standard helicopter without optional
equipment in accordance with the Master Servicing Manual (MSM).
The announced Man Hours are without incoming flight, work preparation, reworking, servicing, Service
Bulletin implementation and unscheduled maintenance.
As an alternative to the current maintenance program described above, EUROCOPTER® provides the
Continuous Maintenance Program (CMP). The CMP consists of individual work packages to be perfor-
med each within a defined timeframe. A specific tolerance is effective for all work packages, which refer
to the start and end time of the individual work packages. Thus, this program allows the continued flight
operation without being interrupted by inspections with longer downtimes. Depending on the yearly
flight hours, three different models are available. One program is applicable for an average flight profile
(from 300 Fh up to 600 Fh per year), one for a high-timer flight profile (more than 600 Fh per year) and
one for a low-timer flight profile (less than 300 Fh per year). Please refer also to the figure below, which
shows the allocation of the work packages through one cycle, using the example of the average flight
profile.
The following table provides an overview of all engine inspections. Each inspection has to be perfor-
med for the respective time frame. For example, a large inspection like the 600 Fh inspection does not
contain the 30 Fh, 100 Fh and 300 Fh.
