Production Basis: Production Certificate No. 343CE. The manufacturer Airbus Helicopters Inc.,
located in Columbus, Mississippi, is licensed by Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
to manufacture the MBB-BK117 C-2 and C-2(e). S/N 9004 through 19999 may be
produced by Airbus Helicopters Inc. in Columbus, Mississippi, Airbus Helicopters in France,
or Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH in Germany. The manufacturer can be confirmed
by the aircraft data plate.
Information Pertinent to the MBB-BK117 C-2(e)
Effective from Serial Number 9601 if Garmin G500H cockpit is installed.
Type design changes to the MBB-BK117 C-2 that install Garmin 500H avionics equipment and limit operations to VFR only
have been approved. These type design changes result in a helicopter that AHD has named MBB-BK117 C-2e. EASA issued an
amended type certificate (EASA.R.010 dated April 17, 2015) that identifies the MBB-BK117 C-2e. In accordance with FAR
21.19, the FAA determined that the type design changes involved did not rise to the level that required an FAA amended type
certificate. However, the FAA does wish to recognize that helicopters with these type design changes exist; therefore, the
designation MBB-BK117 C-2(e) will be used. See Note 12 for more information on the type design changes for MBB-BK117 C-
2(e).
