The flight took place in Grand Prairie, Texas, on Wednesday (14); with Captain Kamal El-Nashar who is an entrepreneur and CEO of the exclusive aircraft sales company, Air Commander Aerospace, headquartered at the Hollywood International Airport in Fort Lauderdale.
The H160 is an Airbus helicopter recently launched with its assembly line in three countries: Germany, Spain and France. What impresses about this launch is the technology that interacts accurately in all flight commands; being able to take off and land with just two clicks.
During the flight, captain Kamal accompanied by Airbus test pilot from France, Olivier Gensse; performed several maneuvers that proved the H160's reaction capacity in adverse conditions such as the loss of one of the engines, automatic landing, corrections of eventual losses in a turn and in addition the operation of the modern autopilot designed for night navigation.

I am absolutely sure that this machine will conquer the market and we at Air Commander Aerospace will be working together with Airbus to sell the H160. This is the kind of avant-garde products that our customers look for on a daily basis."commented Kamal after a meeting with Airbus Helicopters president Chris Emerson.
