State of the Art Autopilot

The Automatic Flight Control System is a 4-axis dual duplex digital auto-pilot, fully integrated with
the avionics and offering full operationality after failure.

The complete set of cruise/navigation and approach upper modes is proposed including envelope
protection and extended mission effectiveness with SAR modes as an option.

The AFCS comprises two (duplex architecture) Automatic Flight Control Computers (AFCCs) which
are linked to the MFDs and controlled by two control panels located within close reach of each
crew member, and several stick buttons. Each AFCC includes 2 separate processing units (dual
architecture) which self-monitor themselves. In case of failure, the standby AFCC takes full control
over the actuators and resumes the operation.

EC725 is basically equipped with the Ground Speed Mode (GSPD) on the Automatic Flight Control
System. This unique capability, derived and proven from the EC225/725 Search and Rescue
Automatic hover modes, will provide unmatched stability and precision at low speeds. With the
"upper modes" engaged on the AFCS, the ground speed mode may be selected by the pilot during
the final phase of the standard offshore approach. The pilot can select the final ground speed to as
low as a hover. This unique feature brings the helicopter safely all the way to the Landing Decision
Point (LDP). This new feature is a result of Airbus Helicopters policy of constant innovation
dedicated to enhancing Flight Safety and the continual improvement of the operating capabilities of
its products.

Vibration reduction

EC725 vibration level is the lowest of all the helicopters in its class.

This major comfort asset has been achieved thanks to the new 5-bladed rotor and a state-of-the-
art Active Vibrations Control System (AVCS).

This system significantly reduce helicopter vibrations by applying a counteracting force through 3
actuators.

2.8 Mission Design Features

EC725 is the most adapted helicopter for Special Operations, Personel Recovery and Combat
SAR.

The EC725 Caracal is the last born of the COUGAR family. It has been developed jointly with
French Air Force for the most demanding mission, the Combat Search and Rescue.

This cooperation has given birth to the most advanced helicopter now in operation for
Combat SAR, SAR and Special Operations.

Technical Data

Reference in Europe for Combat SAR, the French Air Force was looking for a helicopter which
would comply with the most demanding requirements, to warranty the success of a mission
performed in enemy area. The major requirements from French Air Force were:

 A very short time from the ground alert to flight

 Long range and high payload
 All weather capability and fully autonomous navigation system
 High level of systems redundancy and high survivability to bullet impacts
 State of the art “Man-Machine Interface” not only to facilitate crew work, and so, highly
improve situation awareness, giving crews elements to take the best decision, but also
ease training and conversion programs.
 Forward sliding windows for both sides firing machine guns without interfering at the main
doors during hoist, fast roping, rappelling operations or with any external fuel tank.
 Maintenance as light as possible to gain on availability

In order to comply with those requirements, a recommended configuration has been built based on
Airbus Helicopters know-how and latest development for SAR/CSAR missions.

 Dual 115V AC electrical hoist installation  7.62mm Machine Gun

 High Performance Electro Optical System  Digital Moving Map
 High Intensity Search Light  Inertial Navigation System
 Auxiliary fuel tank (990 l)  Infra red suppressors
 Armouring  Electronic Warfare System

Manufacturer’s notes

Airbus Helicopters 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 already 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 Airbus Helicopters.

The operational or certification regulations, as defined by the local authorities, can make
compulsory 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
particular 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.

Airbus Helicopters, its logo, EC725, SPHERIFLEX, M’ARMS, SUPER PUMA, COUGAR are trade
