I now own and fly an MD500D for the last 22 years in the Philippines... Terrific machine, I must say. However, I recently ordered and excited to take delivery of the new roomy Bell 505 with all the bells and whistles. Looking forward to flying this machine for recreation and business. These whirlybirds are amazing machines......BTW, I am 74yrs old and in perfect physical and mental condition..
Thanks guys-- just completed my 505 transistion training at the Bell Academy in Texas. Awesome facility with very capable instructors. Now i am ready to take delivery of the very much in demand 505. Thank u
I was very surprised to see the AS350 series so low, considering it has the highest safety rate and most amount of hours flown out of any Helicopter in history. It is also the most common intermediate helicopter on earth. Also interesting that you grouped intermediate and light Helicopters both under "light". But a nice video even if I do disagree with the order!
Fully agree! The AS350/H125 supersedes in a vast variety of tasks compared to the other models. Overall it is probably the most versatile helicopter for airail work in that class. It sure is more expensive but since the whole list is capped at 3$ million there's no point to rank ing it low due to it's price point.
@@olumideiluyomade7613 or 2 Bell 505 :) and even with hourly costs - you almost could run 2 Bells for the cost of 1 Eurocopter also ... but at the end it always comes down to the mission you fly which one is best for you
Olá,sou um Apaixonado pela aviação cívil quer seja Aviões ou Helicópteros,quero aqui parabenizar toda Equipe deste Canal,que tem sido muito relevante em demostrar,valores atualizados destas magnicas máquinas que tanto amamos!! Obrigado!!😊😁😃😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They did, for each...What do you mean by 'capacity'? Passenger and cargo weight? I'm pretty sure they figure the range for a craft with max weight in all those categories.
I'd rather die in a Robbie than get caught in a P.O.S. A-Star. Favorite would be the EC130 Beautiful !!! And yes, flying helos 32 years, heli skiing, logging, tour, search and rescue, etc. we've seen alot in that time....
@@o2cmefly My friend DIED in an A Star because when they landed, they encountered ground resonance, the shaking started, but before they had a chance to lift off the ground to correct it, the Entire front section of the cockpit CAME OFF and went right into the blades, Decapitating Both of them!!! Very poor factory design. The EC 130 is a widebody 120 and tube frame fully integrated through the entire cockpit upper and lower cages, plus the enclosed tail rotor for further ground personnel safety, and the dual reinforced landing gear, never worry about a collapse. And an advanced blade damper system and drivetrain cushioning that avoids 95% of the potential ground resonance situations, the rest can easily be handled by a good pilot. EC is all about safety and luxury, That's why Hawaii Blue, and most of the other Hawaiian and Vegas tour companies are switching out to a total EC 130 fleet, especially now that Covid is done. A Star was a cookie cutter police car with rotors, basically made for law enforcement with limited life and usefulness. Beat on them for all the hours you can squeeze out of the tail section, then throw it away! There's NO Comparison!
@@ceisarsrepair7958 you’re obviously NOT a pilot, and know nothing about helicopters. I’m sorry about your friend. But the EC-130 is an AS-350B4. It is NOT a “wide body” EC-120 at all, and has nothing in common with it. The EC-130 has the A-Star’s powertrain, airframe, rotor system, tail, landing gear, etc. The “advanced blade damper system and dual reinforced landing gear” you mention? Common to ALL A-Stars. The only 2 differences between an H125/AS-350B3e and the EC-130 are the fenestron tail rotor and the front cabin. What killed your friend shouldn’t have happened, but it was nothing more than pilot error and poor flying technique. I have over 1,800 flight hours in A-Stars, and have been to the factory training school many times. Ground resonance is very difficult to get into in an A-Star or EC-130 as they BOTH have the same measures built in to prevent it. The ONLY way it can happen is poor piloting.
@@ceisarsrepair7958 I’m sorry for your friend but the A-Star’s record is legendary and they’ve made so many improvements over the years. I say this respectfully, you’re not a Pilot nor are you a true Rotorcraft enthusiast. An A-Star POS 🤣 yeah ok!
@@Eduardo-xv9wc I learned in Robinsons and I'll never fly one again. They are dangerous as hell. I fly Enstroms right now and looking at upgrading to an EC 120B. It's not super powerful, but it's quiet, relatively fast, only burns 26gal/hr and it's very safe. And, yeah. It looks great too. No wonder the pic for this video is an EC120B.
@@gnagyusa i’ve flown Robinson for many years, wouldn’t say they are dangerous as hell… they are certainly not very exciting, specially the 44… ec120 is a nice machine, i just think the h125 is a lot better
While they might not be as widely discussed as some other helicopter brands, Enstrom helicopters have found their niche in the market. It's always a good idea to consider various options and assess specific needs when looking for a helicopter, and Enstrom helicopters could be a suitable choice for certain operators.
Indeed, the 530F offers good maneuverability, agility, and a spacious cabin for its size. With its reliable turbine engine, it provides a combination of power and efficiency.
Your information on the H125 is incorrect. Back in the 1980’s, there was a version of the A-Star that had an LTS-101, the AS-350D. The vast majority of A-Stars have Turbomeca (now Safran) engines though. The H125 (formerly known as the AS-350B3e) is powered by a Safran Arriel 2D with 952shp. There are a smalll handful of AS-350D’s out there, and a more modern and reliable Honeywell LTS-101 powers them, but they aren’t common, and are not representative of what Airbus sells with this airframe. Maybe get your facts straight before publishing your video. How do I know all this? I’ve been flying these machines for 30 years, and have over 1,800 flight hours in A-Stars.

My favorite Bell 505, and I’m going to buy one next year 👍🏻👍🏻

That's fantastic and I'm sure many here would be jealous! Those are fine helos. Hats off to you!
Take care boddy.

What city are you in, I Canadian in Cebu.
@@edsmith8301 I reside in Metro Manila
The bell 505 look liked a great buy.👍
Thank you for the Video. I fly my Mountain Draggon R66. N2 is a bit of a challenge during some Airwork though.
Some as350/h125 use the lts-101 but the majority have the turbomecca Arriel 2 series engines.
True. The H125 is the b3E basically. Arriel 2D. Please do not put a lycoming in it.
When you say h125 it specifically means a B3e which only comes with Arriel 2D
My fave is the Bell jet ranger. Love the aesthetics look. But I did not see a Sikorsky? Pardon the spelling
Can’t wait for the Hill helicopter!
Haven't really seen a Sikorsky under this price point. Do you know any?
@@AviationFederation Good point.
Bell 505 is my favourite 😍
The most agile I would say is the MD500

It is also the most common intermediate helicopter on earth. Also interesting that you grouped intermediate and light Helicopters both under "light".

At $2.9 million, it is also the most expensive. Think about value for money. Price could buy you three Robinson R66 helis.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Really appreciate it!

@@AviationFederation H125 you used is one of ours here,, I think a couple of them were purchased for cops
BW
If it’s not too much to ask could you use miles per hour as well
AS350 Should easily be top 3. Plus AS350 B3s are also powered by Ariel 2B engines
Love them all , i would take the Bell
Malaysia is watching..✌️😊✌️🇲🇾
Hello! 🇲🇾

Nice vid, should be obvious as to which is my favorite.
Price ?

I'm looking to spend around 4 million for my chopper!!
My favorite is bell 505
Excellent helo!
Characteristics also written please
Would be good if you mentioned range capacity.
They did, for each...What do you mean by 'capacity'? Passenger and cargo weight? I'm pretty sure they figure the range for a craft with max weight in all those categories.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Robbies are still among the best! What a great flying experience you have!
You call the A-Star a POS, yet love the EC-130…which is basically an A-Star with a fatter cabin and fenestron.
