H130 / EC130 T2; not the earlier EC130 B4
Erdos’s 2014 report describes the T2 as a substantial development of the EC130, with structural changes and active vibration control. The emphasis on cabin comfort complements the family’s sightseeing and passenger-transport roles.
First flight: 24 June 1999
Developed from: Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil
Airbus gives different hover ceilings in and out of ground effect: 11,250 and 9,700 ft at maximum takeoff weight in standard atmospheric conditions. A simulator comparison therefore needs the same weight, atmosphere and hover condition.
Erdos joined Airbus test pilot Eric Vincent to explore a new EC130 T2 at Marignane. Sitting on the left opened up the view while keeping the other seats accessible to passengers. The cockpit’s presentation made the introduction straightforward, and a nearby grass field provided room to become familiar with the hover.
The low vibration made a strong impression, especially for an aircraft of this size. Erdos also tried positioning above an abandoned vehicle as though preparing for a sling operation; they did not actually lift it. His Canadian flying experience required an adjustment to the helicopter’s opposite rotor direction. Throughout the outing, the attention given to passenger comfort remained striking. His report describes a lightly loaded demonstration in favourable conditions, rather than the performance of a fully loaded aircraft.
Hewlett helped Richard Losee search for a replacement pilot for Cirque Lodge, then accepted the role himself. His first flight with residents of the addiction-treatment centre left a lasting impression: he had been unsure how to relate to his passengers, but their response to the mountains changed his understanding of the job.
Flying the EC130 B4 became part of a very different working life from examining other pilots. Hewlett respected passengers who were apprehensive about flying and let them take their time. He also recalled a period when familiar trips began to feel routine, until an emotional visit to a mountain landing site reminded him why the work mattered to him.
When the Wakashio grounded off Mauritius, a leased H130 was already on the island, unable to return to Réunion during pandemic border restrictions. Corail’s chief pilot Jeremy Heuls described adapting the passenger helicopter for a very different assignment, with a cargo hook, sling and an open doorway for the work over the ship.
The aircraft carried equipment out and recovered containers of pollutants. Conditions changed again when the vessel broke apart, while masts complicated the approach and the water offered poor visual references. Heuls stressed how much he relied on the trained team on the ground.

This profile selects AlpineStudio EC130 B4 for X-Plane 12.
The spring and damping approximate this turbine helicopter’s cyclic balance. The spring stays independent of airspeed. Directed aerodynamic loading is omitted. Cyclic damping adds resistance to hardware motion.
Software trim release depends on the controller strategy and SAS state. Local force trim is off. Autopilot following is off.
The EC130/H130 has a three-blade main rotor and a ten-blade Fenestron. The reviewed manuals describe rotor trim and reset; controller centering and SAS state change the simulator’s trim-release behaviour. The EC130B4’s power-on and power-off rotor ranges retain their own contexts.
The EC130B4 product has analog/G500 and medical equipment choices, with rotor-regulation changes recorded by version.
The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.
施加於模型產出的一切、在裝置上限之前的最終整體輸出縮放。
調高: 一切(彈簧、載荷、效果)一同增強。
調低: 一切一同變柔。
設定理由: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
把搖桿拉回中央的基礎回中力。其他所有力都疊加在它之上。太低,正常飛行中搖桿會發軟;太高,它會與你的手較勁,並掩蓋疊加其上的細微提示。
調高: 更硬的回中,更抗手。
調低: 更軟的桿,只靠氣動載荷。
設定理由: The spring and damping approximate this turbine helicopter’s cyclic balance. The baseline spring is 0.1. Low-speed spring blending is off.
EC130 B4 X Plane 12 p 1792.htmlUser ManualCowanSim HeloSAS autopilot manual中央附近彈簧保持安靜的小中立區,讓靜止時的微小移動不會咔嗒作響。更寬更安穩但更松,更窄更精確但可能在中央附近抖動。
調高: 更安靜但更松的中央,曠量更大。
調低: 更緊的中央,靜止時可能抖動。
設定理由: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
作用於兩條持續軸載荷的主縮放,在它們各自的獨立平衡之前施加。設定檔通常不動它,而是調校兩條軸載荷。
調高: 兩軸載荷一同加重。
調低: 兩軸一同減輕。
設定理由: The 0 gain omits sustained directed airspeed loading. Spring resistance remains independent.
啟用低速彈簧介入視窗(上面的起始/全強度節數)。關閉時彈簧在所有速度下恆定。
設定理由: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
在靜止、空速尚未產生氣動力之前,彈簧還剩多少。下限高,停機時搖桿結實;下限低,則是停放輕型飛機那種鋼索鬆弛的感覺。
調高: 停機和滑行時桿更結實。
調低: 停機時桿發軟,只隨速度甦醒。
設定理由: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
彈簧從低速下限開始向全強度攀升的空速:起飛滑跑中操縱面"甦醒"的那一刻。
設定理由: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
彈簧達到全強度的空速。從起點到這裡,隨著氣流在操縱面上增強,回中逐漸變硬。
設定理由: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
氣動載荷達到設計滿值的指示空速。它把整條載荷曲線錨定在飛機真實的速度範圍:172在110節就載滿,噴氣機要晚得多。
調高: 載荷來得更晚;桿輕到更高速度。
調低: 載荷來得更早,巡航更沉。
設定理由: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
在偏轉載荷之外,回中本身隨速度變硬的程度。零則中央手感恆定;越大,巡航時回中越硬,起落航線上越松。
調高: 中央隨速度明顯變硬。
調低: 任何速度下中央手感恆定。
設定理由: Adds permitted spring resistance above the full-blend speed. Zero removes this high-speed increase.
速度驅動的中央變硬上限,防止高速飛行把彈簧無限上緊。
調高: 高速允許更多總硬化。
調低: 硬化更早封頂。
設定理由: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
由副翼偏轉和空速產生的持續橫滾載荷,獨立於俯仰調校。與升降舵載荷一起,決定評測中常說的操縱協調比。
調高: 橫滾力更重。
調低: 副翼更輕更靈。
設定理由: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 1 and 1, respectively. These stored weights do not create directed aerodynamic loading while that term is inactive. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
由升降舵偏轉和空速產生的持續俯仰載荷,獨立於橫滾調校。這是決定機型俯仰重量的主槓桿。它不影響副翼、彈簧、配平或抖振力。
調高: 速度下持續俯仰力更重。
調低: 升降舵更輕,握持更省力。
設定理由: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
每個穩態俯仰或橫滾力到達裝置前的上限,防止猛烈機動中砸擊或飽和硬體。
調高: 削波前更高的穩態力峰值。
調低: 更柔的上限;猛烈機動更早被抹平。
設定理由: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
升降舵配平緩解持續俯仰力、移動桿的安定位置的強度。在100 %時,配平得當的飛機不需要保持壓力——正是真實飛行中"用配平消掉載荷"的流程。
調高: 配平消掉更多持續力;100 %時滿配平可完全抵消。
調低: 即使配平也仍要持續用力。
設定理由: Scales supported pitch-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes pitch response.
橫滾配平的同類緩解。多數通航機型沒有真正的副翼配平,所以保持為零;有橫滾配平的機型獲得相應的值。
調高: 橫滾配平消掉更多持續力。
調低: 橫滾配平作用更小。
設定理由: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
由輪速和地面型別(鋪裝、草地、礫石)產生的滾動振動。
調高: 桿上更強的地面質感。
調低: 更平滑的滑行。
設定理由: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
來自伸縮縫、車轍和粗糙地面的短促離散顛簸,為持續隆隆聲打上標點。
調高: 接縫與車轍的衝擊更清晰。
調低: 更柔的地面細節。
設定理由: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
接近失速及失速警告響起時的機體抖動:這副機翼宣告不滿的音量。斷失乾脆的機型抖振收斂,讓喇叭承擔警告。
調高: 更強的失速前顫抖。
調低: 更含蓄的機翼;警告交給喇叭。
設定理由: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
接近馬赫極限的跨音速抖振。對接近MMO的噴氣機有意義,對到不了那裡的活塞機和渦槳機為零。
調高: 接近馬赫極限時更強的跨音速抖振。
調低: 高馬赫下更平滑的飛行。
設定理由: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
襟翼伸入氣流後機體的低頻振動,發生在它們真正做功的速度視窗內。
調高: 襟翼做功時更粗糙的飛行。
調低: 更柔的進近襟翼。
設定理由: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
可收放起落架懸在氣流中引起的機體鼓振。固定起落架機型為零,它們的機體外形從不改變。
調高: 放起落架時更多鼓振。
調低: 放起落架飛行更乾淨。
設定理由: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
由飛機自身失速警告系統觸發的專用抖桿器振動。只有真有抖桿器的機型才有值;其餘全靠氣動抖振和喇叭。
調高: 更硬的抖桿器。
調低: 更含蓄的抖桿器。
設定理由: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
機輪觸及跑道那一下的單次衝擊,按下沉率縮放:輕柔著陸是耳語,結實到達是一記悶響。
調高: 觸地時更硬的一擊。
調低: 更柔的到達。
設定理由: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
反推或槳葉beta區工作時的滑跑振動。無反推機型為零。
調高: 反推下更粗糙的滑跑。
調低: 更含蓄的反推。
設定理由: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
從慢車到全功率跟隨轉速的持續動力裝置振動——前方有東西在燒油的永恆提醒。
調高: 桿裡更多引擎。
調低: 更含蓄的引擎。
設定理由: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
僅在模擬器報告襟翼舵面確實移動時的持續振動。它跟隨真實作動器的運動和故障,而非估算的計時器。
調高: 襟翼移動中更多振動。
調低: 更含蓄的襟翼行程。
設定理由: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
自動駕駛指令可以讓桿實際移動多遠。在MSFS中保持極小,因為移動的軸可能被讀回為飛行員輸入;零則完全停用跟隨。
調高: 自動駕駛讓你的桿移動得明顯更多。
調低: 幾乎察覺不到的跟隨。
設定理由: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.

設定理由: Retained for compatibility and group membership. Trim relief, rather than this flag, controls centre movement.
Whether this feature is active in this profile.
設定理由: Allows trim relief with supported control law and valid telemetry. Axis authorities set its amount.
Whether this feature is active in this profile.
設定理由: Software trim release depends on the controller strategy and SAS state. Local force trim is off. The stored latch parameters are inactive; the profile does not supply a local hold-where-left neutral.
