2/5

The AW189 is a brand new 8.3 tonne, twin-engine helicopter, designed to

answer the growing market demand for a versatile, affordable, multirole

platform.

Ideally suited to long range, deep water missions typical of current Offshore

operations, AW189 features high per formance, state-of-the-art technologies

and exceeds the latest regulatory requirements (EASA/FAA Part 29, JAR OPS 3/

EUOPS).

Belonging to the AgustaWestland Family of products (with AW169 and

market-leading AW139), mixed-feet operators can leverage the advantage

of a common design philosophy across platforms.

DELIVERING PRODUCTIVITY

SAFETY BY DESIGN

The AW189 exceeds the airworthiness

requirements of the most recent EASA/FAA

amendments in the transport category (Part 29),

qualifying it for the most stringent guidelines

of the major Oil and Gas companies.

Further safety features include structural

crashworthiness integral to the design of the

airframe, fuel system and seats, a reinforced

windscreen and optimum position of critical

controls, which mitigates the consequences

of a birdstrike.

The main gearbox benets from an unparalleled

50 minute dry-run capability.

The cockpit design incorporates latest

generation, advanced situational awareness

technologies (HTAWS, TCAS II) which reduces

crew workload.

High main rotor clearance ensures a safe

environment for ground operations and

maintenance crew. Advanced Helicopter Usage

and Monitoring System (HUMS) diagnostic tools

continuously monitor systems, further

enhancing safety and reducing time on the

ground.

In the event of an emergency landing or

ditching, seats are aligned to large push-out

windows to maximise egress speed. Flotation

system is certied for ditching up to Sea

State 6 and life raft s are positioned for access

directly from the cabin or from outside.

PERFORMANCE

The AW189 is powered by two GE CT7-2E1

engines, delivering high speed and superior

performance in hover and Cat. A.

The aerodynamic fuselage and innovative

rotor blade design reduce fuel consumption

and maximise range.

The excellent helicopter radius of action allows

to transport 16 passengers at 140 nm (ROA).

AVIONICS - THE PILOTS CHOICE

Exceptional external visibility and leading-edge

avionics maximise pilots situational awareness.

The open-architecture avionics suite includes a

fully digital glass cockpit with four 8x10

displays (AMLCD), a 4-axis dual-duplex digital

automatic ight control system (DAFCS) and

dual Flight Management Systems (FMS),

minimising pilot workload during VFR/IFR ight.

The avionics suite is suitable for satellite-based

IFR navigation (RNAV/RNP, vertical navigation

and precision approaches) together with

advanced communication and surveillance

requirements (ADS-B).

An optional Synthetic Vision System emulates

the surrounding topography to improve terrain

and obstacle awareness, whilst an optional

Enhanced Vision System allows pilots to see

through darkness, smoke, dust and light fog to

further ensure safety.

The avionics system also performs Point-In-

Space (PINS) for Offshore approach procedures.

SPACIOUS CABIN DESIGN

The AW189 benets from the largest cabin in its class (11.2 m3/ 395.5 ft3),

featuring:

Large, at oor space, with accommodation for up to 19 passengers

disposed on 4 rows

Seat rows are aligned with emergency exit windows

Easily recongured, with different internal layout

Low vibration and noise levels

Capability to rapidly install equipment for Lim. SAR operations

Large sliding doors for speed of passenger entry and egress

to all 4 rows, simultaneously

Large baggage compartment (2.4 m3/ 85 ft3), accessible from both

helicopters sides.

Cabin length 3.47 m 11 ft 5 in

Cabin width 2.43 m 7 ft 12 in

Cabin height 1.42 m 4 ft 8 in

FOR YOUR MISSION

AgustaWestland has leveraged decades of collaboration

with customers worldwide to ensure unrivalled versatility

in the AW189 platform. The AW189 is certied for all

weather, day and night, VFR/IFR operations, critical for the

harsh conditions prevalent in Offshore operations.

The spacious, versatile cabin seats 16 passengers as

standard and can be congured with up to 19 seats for

high density missions and 12 seats for ultra-long range

requirements. High cruise speed, an extremely high payload

due to the efcient rotor system design and superior O.E.I

capability ensures safety and reduces operational costs.

Latest generation avionics enhance situational awareness,

reduce crew workload and expand operational capabilities.

Typical Offshore Passenger Conguration:

16 individual crashworthy seats with separate four point

safety belts

External life rafts (2 x 21) with emergency JTSO 126

beacon

ADELT JTSO 126

Emergency oats (up to Sea State 6 ditching capability)

Helicopter Emergency Exit Light System (HEELS)

HUMS and Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as standard

HTAWS as standard

VHF/FM radio

Satcom with Flight Following

Environmental Control System

TCAS II

Weather radar

Optional Equipment includes: Full Ice Protection System

(FIPS) or Limited Ice Protection System (LIPS) for operations

in icing conditions, pressure refuelling, single/dual hoist,

search light, mission console, nose-mounted FLIR and

cargo hook.

AW189 MISSION CAPABILITY

Radius of Action, IFR mission:

Return fuel, 10% contingency, 30 minute reserves

Passengers at 100 kg / 220 lb each

SUPERIOR ECONOMICS AND SUPPORT

The AW189 is designed to maximise operational capability

and minimise cost. The low cost seat/mile and long range

capability make the platform a compelling alternative to

more expensive 19 seat helicopters currently in operation

offshore. Maintenance operations have been minimised

by design, as have components subject to overhaul and

replacement, reducing downtime for ight-intensive

Offshore schedules. A worldwide network of service and

support centres is already serving the Offshore industry.

AW189 TRAINING

AgustaWestland customers maximise safety and

operational effectiveness with advanced, tailored training

solutions. State-of-the-art Level D Full Flight Simulators

(FFS), computer-based modules and training device

for ight and ground crew, are available to serve the

worldwide AW189 customer base. AgustaWestland Family

operators will benet from optimised training for pilots and

technicians familiar with the AW139 platform, reducing

time required for instructor-led and FFS-based training.
