New standards in safety.
The EC175 exceeds EASA CS29
crashworthiness requirements.
In addition to general fail-safe design and fully redundant systems,
emergency egress capacity exceeds EASA Type IV certification requirements. Two wide pilot doors, two extra-wide, sliding passenger doors and eight large push-out windows allow 16 passengers and 2 pilots to leave the aircraft in a matter of seconds.
Oversized front and aft emergency
floatation devices are permanently "armed" in flight, and can be inflated
at high speeds. The EC175 has Sea State 6 capability with high helicopter waterline.
Two oversized 12 to 18-pax life rafts can be easily released by passengers or crew.
All emergency evacuation features
and scenarios have been designed and
validated by Oil&Gas industry safety advisors, operators and pilots.
