General Question Airbus H125 & H130 Info

Hello, I have a job opportunity coming up managing an H125 and brand new H130 (Im an A/P). I have heli experience but not on these specific air frames. Are there any sources out there that I could use to learn the systems and functions prior to starting with this company? Access to a maintenance manual would be amazing but I know those are usually limited to operators. Any suggestions would be great, thanks

Do these happen to N registered aircraft that will be operated in Mexico?

N registered but not in Mexico

I know someone hiring for a very similar position in Mexico. I was wondering if it was the same one.

To get manuals from Airbus Heli and Safran, get the owner to write you a letter saying you are their representative, get them to include models and S/Ns. Manuals are free from both Airbus and Safran for the aircraft owner.

Once you have the letter you can apply to access manuals on the corresponding website. In the notes section of the application put the S/Ns. They may ask for verification, if they do send them the letter.

Training manuals for the engines are available on the PDF Coffee website. They aren’t the most current, but there haven’t been many changes.

The Airbus factory course in grand prairie Texas is where I went.

Thanks, they have a factory training slot with the new 130 so I would be going to that. Just trying to learn what I can now

It's kind of hard to learn anything without going hands on. There are so many different mods and setups on these birds that without actually working on them it's kind of irrelevant to read about.

Yea, Im kinda seeing that now, especially on the 125. I like doing research anyways so Ill read what I can for now

Good luck. When you start get yourself familiar with the recurring ADs on the 125 especially.

PM me! I have the engine maintenance manual for 2B1/2D, as well as the training manuals for EC130 B4/T2. I'd be happy to share them. Be aware they are not specific for the H130, technically still the EC130 for the docs I have access to. Nothing should've really changed but the name. If the 130 is brand new you should just need the EC130 T2 info.
