Airbus AS350 b3
The Airbus AS350 B3, commonly known as the AStar, is the high-and-hot specialist of PJ Helicopters’ light-ship fleet. Built for performance in demanding environments, the AStar excels where other light helicopters fall short—at high elevations and in extreme temperatures.
With its powerful Turbomeca Arriel 2B1 engine, the AStar B3 delivers exceptional lifting capacity, precise maneuverability, and unmatched reliability in mountainous terrain and hot-weather conditions. Whether it’s external load operations, utility construction, or aerial survey work, the B3 offers a strong combination of speed, stability, and payload that makes it a go-to platform for missions requiring peak performance in thin air.
Backed by PJ’s experienced pilots and top-tier maintenance crews, our AS350 B3s are mission-ready and built to perform when the stakes—and the elevation—are high.
