Genesys teams with Airbus to introduce IFR capabilities for the H125
Wednesday, 8 March 2023

Genesys Aerosystems, a Moog Inc. company, announced that it will work jointly with Airbus Helicopters for the development of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capabilities for the single engine H125.

The Genesys Helicopter Suite™ to be certified will allow Airbus H125 operators to expand the helicopter's mission capabilities in all weather conditions. The avionics solution is composed of dual IDU-680 EFIS displays, Genesys VHF NAV/COM aircraft digital radio, Genesys IFR helicopter autopilot, dual redundant ADAHRS, dual GPS/FMS, and other equipment required to achieve IFR certification. The DO-178C Level A, IFR certified, IDU-680 displays offer high-resolution LCD glass depicting 3D Synthetic Vision, Highway-In-The-Sky (HITS), Enhanced HTAWS terrain awareness, Integrated FMS, Hover Vector, and many more features.

The STC project is scheduled for completion by second half of 2024. Initially the certified solution will be offered for Airbus factory new H125 deliveries in North America with follow-on approvals expected in other countries, which allow single engine IFR operations.

“Genesys is excited to partner with Airbus to offer an avionics solution to the H125 that allows an affordable option for IFR operations”, states Jamie Luster, Genesys Aerosystems Director Sales and Marketing. “We expect the IFR option to be a popular choice in civil and special mission applications.”

“The H125 remains an unrivaled product thanks to its continuous improvements. This new IFR feature will expand the helicopter's mission capabilities in all weather conditions especially for critical missions such as public services, including Law Enforcement and EMS, and enhanced training” said Jérome Ronssin, Head of Light Helicopters Programs at Airbus Helicopters. “The choice to partner with Genesys was made based on their extensive experience in designing state of the art avionics and in particular their experience certifying platforms for IFR operations.”
