THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Airbus H145

The H145 developed through the BK 117 and EC145 line. Its roomy cabin has made the family useful for emergency medical services, police work and passenger transport. Later H145 developments introduced the enclosed Fenestron tail rotor and, subsequently, a five-bladed main rotor.

An earlier EC145 photograph or manual can therefore show a different rotor and tail arrangement from a newer H145. Avionics and automatic flight-control equipment also depend on the generation and installation. The simulator's own model and developer documentation establish which configuration is represented.

Helionix displays and mission equipment

HPG's archived H145 guide identifies the BK-117 D2 and separates Base Pack from Action Pack features. It documents Helionix display pages, GTN750 integration options, failures and maintenance, and the tablet interface. The Action Pack adds equipment such as a hoist, cargo hook and water bucket. This particular PDF is dated October 2022 and states MSFS 2020 scope; newer online documentation should be used for later changes.

Basic stabilisation, upper modes and trim release

HPG's AFCS reference distinguishes basic attitude stabilisation from upper modes such as altitude, airspeed, navigation and ground-trajectory control. Automatic trim is required for upper-mode operation, while cyclic trim release pauses the control logic for pilot input. The guide also describes follow-up-trim settings. Those modes are a substantial part of this add-on's identity, rather than a generic helicopter assistance switch.
