An Introduction to the H120 Helicopter

An accomplished real estate development professional, Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer draws upon nearly three decades of experience as a homebuilder, project manager, and contractor in California. Also a former aviation executive, Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer trained on an EC120 helicopter (now known as an H120 helicopter) while earning his helicopter license.

Also known as the Hummingbird, the legendary H120 is part of the Colibri family of Airbus helicopters. Since being introduced under its original name of EC120 in 1997, the H120 has emerged as one of the most well-known light, single-engine helicopters in the industry, with more than 700 units shipped to customers around the world. A popular helicopter for both training and regular use, the H120 has accrued nearly 2 million hours of cumulative flight time by pilots over the years.

Helicopter pilots value the H120 for its roomy cabin that can comfortably fit a pilot plus four passengers, its low vibration, and its efficient Fenestron tail rotor that offers one of the quietest rides of any model. In addition to the Fenestron tail rotor, the H120 features cutting-edge technology, such as a Turbomeca Arrius 2F turboshaft engine and the latest generation multi-function display for enhanced pilot assistance.

The H120 also stands out for its safety features, as well as being the only model in its class that surpasses the most recent FAR/JAR 27 safety regulations. Finally, the H120 offers easy maintenance, making it a popular choice among helicopter enthusiasts who maintain their aircraft themselves.
