Of conventional configuration but sturdy design, the Eurocopter Aerospatiale Alouette II is one of the first true light multi-purpose helicopters and has excelled in a variety of roles. This adaptability was facilitated by its reliable turboshaft engine, easy maintenance, and landing gear which could be either of wheel or skid type, or floats, with provision for emergency flotation gear. In the USA, it has an unparalleled safety record and there has never been an internal failure of any Alouette II engine.
It is an extremely smooth machine in flight which makes for an excellent photo and survey aircraft and the fully glazed cabin gives an unbeatable view. The structure of the Alouette II is very reminiscent of the early Bell models, in that it has a plexiglass cockpit and open-framework fuselage. It is however, a completely different aircraft with entirely different performance specifications and configuration.
The Alouette II's close sibling, the Lama, looks to the untrained eye, exactly like the Alouette II but is extremely popular as an external load helicopter for construction, seismic, forestry, and other types of work. Both the Alouette II and the Lama are well know throughout the helicopter industry for their load capacities and altitude performance. Since high density altitudes are common here in Texas in the warm months (and most of our months seem to be warm) Brazos feels the Alouette to be the safest choice in light turbine helicopters for our workload.
