At the Airborne Public Safety Association Conference (APSCON) last week in Houston, Airbus secured an order for four H125 helicopters from the Miami-Dade Police Department, which already has four H125s in its fleet.

North American law enforcement agencies have bought 85 H125s during the past five years, according to Airbus Helicopters. Powered by a Safran Helicopter Engines Arriel 2D turboshaft, the Écureuil line counts more than 7,200 helicopters in service across its AS350, AS355, AS550, AS555, H125, H125M, EC130, and H130 variants. The H125 can cruise at 136 ktas and has endurance of up to 4 hours 27 minutes and a range of 340 nm.
