APRIL
2015Continued from P74Continued on P78The light twin helicopter classTu r k i s h E u r o c o p t e r E C 1 3 5.•The light twin helicopter class earned between
18-19 percent of total operator purchase plans in
the 2015 survey, with the EC135, Bell 429 and
AW109 series helicopters noted most frequently.Heavy multi-engine helicopters
CHC operates the Sikorsky S-92A.•Heavy multi-engine helicopters, such as the
EC225, AW101 and S-92, registered small but
steady levels of new helicopter purchase plans in
the 2015 survey; however, demand from large oil
and gas fleet operators not included in the survey
continues to support volume in the heavy class
even though some near-term replacement activity
may be deferred. Mi-8/17 purchase plans are not
fully represented due to limited response from
Russian operators in the 2015 survey.Satisfaction with aircraft
Again in this year’s survey, Honeywell asked all
respondents to indicate their current satisfaction
over the past year with each model of aircraft they
operate. For models that received more than 25
responses, the make and models with the highest
net scores are the AW139, Robinson R66, Bell
407, Bell 429, Bell 412, Bell 206L, EC135, EC145,
AS350B series and Sikorsky S-76C.These top platforms account for over 70 percent
of all survey make and model mentions and can
be considered the top current production
helicopters in terms of recent customersatisfaction attitudes and likelihood to promote.
Many other makes and models currently in
production also received excellent scores that
did not make the top 10 list.Helicopter Use Expected to Increase
Helicopter fleet utilization is expected to increase
this year. Planned increases by region include:
•North America: 27 percent of operators plan
increases and only 6 percent plan decreases.
•Europe: 10 percent of operators plan increases
and 4 percent plan decreases.
•Latin America: 45 percent of operators plan
increases and only 4 percent plan decreases.
•Middle East and Africa: 18 percent of operators
plan increases and only 3 percent plan
decreases.
•Asia-Oceania: 14 percent of operators plan
increases and 6 percent plan decreases.
All end-use categories reported increased levels
of flight activity in the 2015 survey. Oil and gas
operators reported the highest flight-hour use
per aircraft at approximately 850 hours per year,
followed by tourism with a strong increase to just
under 700 hours per year and then law enforce-
ment at more than 600 hours per year.
Emergency medical services, training, firefighting
and general utility were closely grouped at
approximately 400-450 hours per year. The low-
est average use was reported by corporate seg-
ment operators at just over 360 hours per heli-
copter per year.Methodology
The 2015 outlook presents a snapshot of the
helicopter business at a point in time and
reflects the current business and political
environment. This year’s survey queried more
than 1,000 chief pilots and flight department
managers of companies operating 3,400 turbine
and 400 piston helicopters worldwide.
The survey excluded large fleet or “mega”
operators, which were interviewed separately.
Input received from large oil and gas support
and emergency medical service fleet operators
is factored into the overall outlook in addition to
the individual flight department responses.
The survey detailed the types of aircraft operated
and assessed specific plans to replace or add to
the fleet with new aircraft.!More information visit – http://www.honeywell.comNEW

412EPI provides improved takeoff capability with
increased payload by up to 640 lbs. in standard
conditions, while decreasing the required
