The H145 with its new five-bladed rotor system is a top choice for many operations, thanks to its versatility, spacious cabin and rear-loading clamshell doors. Ascent is the latest operator to sign up for the type.

Garmin GTX 335 and 345 transponders provide a one-box solution that enables owners and operators to meet ADS-B requirements with minimal expense and downtime. Bell 205, 212s and 412s will benefit.

More than 1,400 H125s are currently in service worldwide and are used primarily for high performance missions in high and hot conditions. Canadian operator Ascent will use the type for power line and hydro work.
