Final report EC 135 Family-23 07 12 - EASA

EASA Eurocopter EC135 Family
I. Purpose and applicability
Data is being submitted by Eurocopter in support of the catch up OEB process concerning
differences between the helicopters: EC135 P1, P2, P2+ or T1, T2, T2+ and EC635 T1, P2+, T2+.
The operator difference tables (ODR) provided by the manufacturer include a comparison of the EC 135
family (See Appendix 4).
The basic EC635 is essentially an EC135 under military certification and only differs to a civilian
EC135 by a reinforced side shell. Since the EC635 variants (T1,P2+ & T2+) are identical and
already included in EASA TCDS.R005, specific EC635 ODR tables are not developed and the
same ODR tables apply as used for EC135 (see MDR Table page 24)
Note:
To enable an easy reading of this report, the EC135 P1, P2, P2+, T1, T2, T2+ and EC635 T1, P2+, T2+, are
sometimes named and grouped under “EC 135 Family”.
This report is the result of a catch up process evaluation which has been made by analysis and
comparison, based on Pilot Initial and Additional Type Rating Training syllabus for all variants
of the EC 135 provided by Eurocopter Training Academy and FTOs’ already approved by LBA
(Germany) and by other NAA’s.
