Royal Canadian Mounted Police Gets its First H145

: Dec 20, 2018 - : 2:58 am

Airbus has delivered Canada’s first H145 helicopter to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The twin-engine Airbus H145 is the latest variant of the H145 family of aircraft.

 

RCMP’s Air Support Unit will utilize the H145 for a variety of missions including surveillance and pursuit, fast roping, hoisting, Emergency Response Team operations, harbour surveillance and ship landings, and mountain search and rescue.

 

The aircraft will be based in Langley, B.C., and will operate mainly in the Vancouver Lower Mainland region, with the ability to deploy elsewhere as required.

 

“With its enhanced safety features and reputation for reduced maintenance and excellent availability, the multi-role H145 is an ideal aircraft for multi-faceted law enforcement missions,” said Romain Trapp, President of Airbus Helicopters Canada. “We are very pleased that the H145 will enter into service to support RCMP operations, assisting the men and women who serve and protect the Canadian people.”

 

Airbus helicopters are the aircraft of choice for law enforcement organizations across Canada, capturing 83 per cent of the market.

 

The H145 has been equipped with a wide variety of mission specific equipment including external hoist and rope down device (for 2/1 persons), Trakka A800 searchlight, Enhanced Reality System, Health Monitoring System (HMS), FLIR, Night Vision Goggles, Tactical Flight Officer (TFO) workstation and internal long-range fuel tank system.
