Operator Report - Cape Town Helicopters on Their Airbus H130

SA Flyer Magazine

|

March 2022

Versatility, safety and reliability are the stand-out comments from Cape Town Helicopters’ pilots as to why the H130 is one of their firm favourites. For a single-engine helicopter, the H130 punches above its’ weight compared to competing helicopters in its class such as the Bell 407 and 206 Long Ranger.

Operator Report - Cape Town Helicopters on Their Airbus H130

Cape Town Helicopters operations vary from tourist-related charters from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town at sea-level, to bushveld flying in Maun, Botswana with their sister company, Maun Delta Helicopters. In remote locations, the ability and flexibility of the H130-T2 to be able to operate in hot and high-altitude environments is invaluable. Capacity can be adjusted from high density tourist seating to casualty evacuation, with for example a pilot, 2 stretchers and 2 medical attendants.

THE FABULOUS CHIPMUNK My favourite plane

I have been privileged to have flown the most fantastic variety of planes - from the Denel Cheetah for an air-to-air refuelling mission, to a ninety-year-old Tiger Moth.
