Introduction
The AS332 L1e is an evolved member of Airbus Helicopters’ medium-heavy Super Puma product line, benefitting from all the advantages of this workhorse rotorcraft family, plus the integrated advanced cockpit and automatic flight control systems utilized on the EC225 version.
Proven performance
Fast and reliable, the AS332 L1e has outstanding maneuverability and an excellent power reserve with the two Turbomeca Makila 1A1 engines – enabling this 9-metric-ton-class rotorcraft to fly almost any mission, no matter the temperature and altitude.
Its large cabin and substantial payload lift capability, inherited from the Super Puma family, suits the AS332 L1e for a variety of operations, including airlift duties in support of the offshore oil and gas industry; passenger, executive and VIP transport; aerial work; as well as search and rescue.
Advanced technologies
In evolving the AS332 L1e, Airbus Helicopters has integrated the advancements of its latest Super Puma variant, the EC225: advanced avionics; a full glass cockpit with night vision goggle compatibility; the APM 2010 digital dual-duplex four-axis autopilot; and the latest generation navigation and flight management systems.
The autopilot includes highly precise automatic hovering capabilities, automatic transitions to and from hover flight, and access to new functions such as search and rescue mission patterns.
Maintainability
With the rugged dynamic assemblies of Airbus Helicopters’ workhorse AS332 Super Puma, the AS332 L1e benefits from low maintenance and operating costs.
Other advantages are the percentage of commonality in tools for other Super Puma variants, as well as the Parts-By-the-Hour (PBH) program coverage provided by Airbus Helicopters.
