The Frogger in GTA V is designed based on the Eurocopter EC130 with a single-engine design and low tailboom. Its passenger section is derived from the Eurocopter EC135, with cockpit doors having enlarged windows. The aircraft features sliding doors in the middle section and modern skids. Its engine compartment has twin exhausts, a four-bladed rotor on top, and a winch on the left-hand side.
The tail boom has horizontal stabilizers with vertical fins, a Fenestron tail with six rotor blades, and a tall vertical stabilizer. The interior is relatively spacious, featuring a small instrument panel and a rear bay with additional seats. The aircraft is usually seen with gray stripes passing through the fuselage and tail boom and can be painted in various colors.
The Frogger is a well-performing helicopter with above-average handling, light weight, and a responsive turning, stopping, and inclining ability. It has a durable structure and stable skids that allow for landing on most surfaces. However, its light and open structure make it vulnerable to enemy firearms, with only a few shots being enough to cause engine damage and shut down the rotor-engine system, rendering the helicopter unusable. It is suitable for transportation and basic tasks, but not recommended for fly-bys or evacuation scenarios.
This vehicle cannot be modified in GTA V.

The Frogger is used in the Flight School lessons "Helicopter Course" and "Helicopter Speed Run".
The Frogger can be obtained during the parachuting mission if the player hijacks it.

As evidenced by the images on two of the Flight School lessons, the Frogger would have originally had a strike guard, and skids similar to the ones from the Buzzard and its Attack variant.
The Frogger is named after the 1981 game Frogger.
In GTA Online, the FIB variant only appears during Setup: Data Recovery and may be difficult to obtain, but is possible.
