Featuring high performance,
using state-of-the art technologies, and adhering to the latest international
regulatory requirements (EASA / FAA Part 29, JAR OPS 3 / EU-OPS) the
AW189 is unmatched in its ability to meet the stringent operational
and safety needs of the Oil and Gas industry.
Large, bright internal space, modular design and low internal noise
and vibration allow maximum flexibility and superior passenger comfort.
All these features combined make the AW189 the medium category helicopter
of choice for the most demanding operations worldwide. Its reduced overall
dimensions make it suitable for operation on an extensive number of
Offshore helidecks.
All Weather Day and Night, VFR / IFR certified, the AW189 will operate
seamlessly in the harsh conditions prevalent in Offshore operations.
The spacious cabin is configured with 16 seats as standard. Seating
options include a high density 18 seat layout or an ultra long range
12 seat configuration. High cruising speed and a very high payload due
to a highly efficient rotor system, together with superior O.E.I capability,
make the AW189 ideally suited to the safest Offshore operations with
the lowest operational costs.
Next Generation avionics expands further operational capabilities, contributing
to safety by enhancing situational awareness and reducing crew workload.
Although optimised for Offshore missions, the AW189 can perform a variety
of public utility roles. AgustaWestland leverages years of close co-operation
with customers to bring unparalleled flexibility to the market in the
AW189. With a configuration suited to global operations, the helicopter’s
design and spacious cabin provides for endless choice in configuration.
Cabin layout options include a range in seat density up to 18 seats,
and Medevac & SAR configurations. Modular fuel systems, quick to
fit and remove, ensure the optimum mission specific trade off between
passengers and distance can be achieved.
Large sliding doors lend the AW189 to both superior egress for passengers
and the efficient loading of cargo pallets. Hook load capacity (2722
kg / 6000 lb) extends the mission flexibility of the AW189 to roles
such as fire-fighting and external cargo lift.
