A&P Helicopters has taken delivery of a sixth Eagle Single from Eagle Copters, a Calgary, Canada-based helicopter support provider. A&P made its first purchase from Eagle in 2019.

The Eagle Single is the first of its type in the family operated helicopter utility company's fleet and is a valuable addition to its current fleet featuring Bell 407s, Eagle 407HP, Bell 206 JetRanger, Bell UH-1H Huey and MD500.

This utility model underwent some configuration upgrades including a lightweight utility configuration (under 6,000 lb), full vertical reference door, new interior and exterior paint, new avionics suite, a complete rewire and interior refurbishment.

A&P Helicopters, based out of Richvale, California, provides a diverse range of services including power line construction, external cargo, construction lifts, human external cargo, power and pipeline patrol, law enforcement, motion picture, photography and insurance retrieval.

By virtue of a nine-passenger STC approval process, the Eagle Single converts the Bell 212 helicopter from a twin to a single engine, providing more overall capability with lower operating costs. As a by-product of the conversion, the removal of one engine, the original heavy avionics and associated wiring results in a loss of weight, producing a medium helicopter in the 5,900 lb empty weight range.

The Eagle Single is suited to a variety of mission types including personal use and film production, firefighting, utility work, forestry and SAR. It is certified in Canada, the USA, Australia, Chile, Peru, Indonesia and Japan.
