The Kamov Ka-32 is an autonomous high power-to-weight ratio compact air transporter that can operate independently of ground support. Small dimensions of the helicopter, its ability of ditching using floats, all-weather and day/night flight capabilities, resistance to aggressive environment of the sea are only some of the merits of this helicopter. Due to a high power-to-weight ratio a co-axial rotor scheme helicopter has the highest hover ceiling and vertical climb performance in comparison to any other rotorcraft. This performance is the main component of the helicopter maneuverability and particularly in the high/hot conditions.

The Ka-32A11BC is used to perform a wide spectrum of tasks: people/cargo transportation, construction and assembling operation, logistic operation, external load lifting, logging, fire fighting, comprehensive EMS/SAR capability over the sea and in mountainous areas, surveillance and patrolling.

The experience of the Ka-32 helicopters operation has proved not only their remarkable flight performance but also a high reliability of the helicopters’ hardware.

Over 160 Ka-32 modifications are in operation in Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Japan, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Malaysia and other countries. In the Republic of Korea total number of aircraft has exceed 60 units.

The Ka-32 is certified in Russia, Canada, Swiss, Taiwan, and Mexico, Chili, Japan, the Republic of Korea, China, and Indonesia.

September 28, 2009, EASA has granted type certificate to the Ka-32A11BC helicopter.

The Ka-32A11BC is the only Russian helicopter that has obtained Certificates under FAR and EASA Regulations. The firefighting capabilities of the Ka-32A11BC helicopter have sparked interest in the US customers.

The Helicopter Industry Association of Russia cordially invites all interested companies to take part in the “Russian Hour” devoted to the giving you an understanding of the current Russian helicopter market and its prospects and where you will be able to hear about the Ka-32A11BC.
