The second SA 330 ever first flew on the 3 November 1965, under the registration F-ZWWO, and did the official Puma flight testing campaign by the Centre d'Essais en Vol (CEV) the following year. In 1977 it was re-engined by the CGTM (Compagnie Générale des Turbomachines, a Turboméca parent company) with Makila turbines, and flew for the first time in this configuration on the 4 June 1977. It was the first helicopter fitted with this new engine family, which would later on equip succesfully the whole Super Puma/ Caracal family.
