This video shows the full start-up procedure and takeoff of the Airbus H145 C2, a twin-engine helicopter powered by Turbomeca Arriel 1E2 engines. It features a four-blade main rotor and two-bladed tail rotor. The startup sequence includes battery and avionics power-on, FADEC-controlled engine spool-up, rotor engagement, and final systems checks. Once cleared, the H145 lifts off smoothly. Common in EMS, police, and utility roles, it cruises around 135 knots and supports both VFR and IFR operations.
