Content Body

Four California law enforcement agencies recently took delivery of six new Airbus Helicopters H125 AStars—two each to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, and one each to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and Ontario Police Department.


The CHP took delivery of its fourth and fifth H125, part of a five-year contract to upgrade its entire helicopter fleet. It has been flying AS350-series helicopters for 30 years, and its new H125s are equipped with hoists. Hangar One Avionics in Carlsbad, Calif., performed completion services for the CHP H125s.


Meanwhile, the LAPD recently took delivery of its second H125, part of a multi-year contract to upgrade the department’s fleet of AS350 B2 helicopters to H125s. LAPD Air Support Division has flown Airbus Helicopters for 25 years and operates its AStars some 17,000 to 18,000 hours per year.


The Ontario Police Department accepted its first H125, an addition to its fleet of two AS350 B2s. Hangar One is performing completion services on the Ontario PD helicopter, which will enter service this spring. The Ontario PD is also having an autopilot installed on its H125.
