MISSION CAPABILITY
OFFSHORE / CREW CHANGE 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. TYPICAL OFFSHORE PASSENGER CONFIGURATION 16 passengers on individual crashworthy seats with separate four point safety belts External life rafts 2 x 20 with emergency beacon JTSO 126 ADELT JTSO 126 Emergency Floats (Sea State 6 ditching capability) Helicopter Emergency Exit Light System (HEELS) HUMS and Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) EGPWS / HTAWS VHF / FM Radio Pressure refuelling Satcom with Flight Following Environmental Control system TCAS II Weather Radar Further optional equipment includes: Full Ice Protection System or Limited Ice Protection System for operations in icing conditions, single or dual hoist, ADS-B out, nose mounted FLIRs and a cargo hook.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY 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 helicopters 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. AW189: SUPERIOR ECONOMICS & SUPPORT AVIONICS - THE PILOTS CHOICE Exceptional external visibility and the deployment of the latest in avionics technology make the AW189 the pilots choice. The open architecture avionics suite includes full digital glass cockpit with four 8 x 10 displays (AMLCD), a 4-axis dual-duplex digital automatic flight control system (DAFCS) and dual Flight Management System (FMS). All contribute to minimising pilot workload during VFR / IFR flight. Single pilot IFR certification is a design objective. The avionics suite is suitable for the NextGen satellite-based IFR navigation (RNAV / RNP, vertical navigation and precision approaches) and advanced communication and surveillance requirements (ADS-B). The AW189 sets new standards in situational awareness in low visibility flying conditions. The optional Synthetic Vision System emulates the surrounding topography to enhance terrain and obstacle avoidance while the optional Enhanced Vision System sees through darkness, smoke, dusk and light fog further improving operational safety. The integrated AW189 avionics system performs Point-InSpace (PINS) and Offshore approach procedures. AW189 TRAINING Advanced training programmes offer AgustaWestland customers maximum effectiveness and safety. Tailored solutions employing state-of-the-art flight simulators and computer based modules for flight and ground crew allow operators to benefit from the latest in best practices in the industry. A Level-D full flight simulator will be available upon aircraft type certification. 19 Pax aircraft 2 A comprehensive offering of simulator and training devices will progressively be made available to serve the worldwide AW189 customer base.

SAFETY BY DESIGN The AW189 meets and exceeds the airworthiness requirements of the most recent EASA / FAA amendments in the transport category (Part 29) and is qualified to fulfil the most stringent guidelines of the major oil & gas companies. High safety is achieved on the AW189 through a series of design features. Structural crashworthiness has been a priority in the design of the airframe, fuel system and seats. A reinforced windscreen and optimum positioning of critical controls mitigates the consequences of a birdstrike. The helicopter main gearbox benefits from a 30 min dry-run capability and Cat. A, PC1 / PC2e performance allow take offs and landings with high payloads and superior safety margins in the challenging world-wide locations associated with Offshore operations. Cockpit design incorporating the latest in advanced situational awareness technologies (HTAWS, TCAS II) reduces crew workload. A high main rotor clearance allows a safe environment for ground operations and maintenance crew. The availability of advanced diagnostic tools to continuously monitor systems health results furthers safety and reduces time on the ground.
PARAPUBLIC Ideal for day / night airborne parapublic operations even in harsh conditions, the AW189 may be configured with a wide range of advanced sensors, role and communication equipment. The generous cabin space, excellent accessibility and flexibility in seating configuration together with quickly removable options such as a fast rope system and cargo hook makes the AW189 particularly suited to a variety of special forces and utility operations. PASSENGER / EXECUTIVE TRANSPORT A combination of speed and low internal vibration and noise deliver exceptional passenger comfort. The use of an Auxiliary Power Unit on the ground to provide air conditioning ensures passengers remain comfortable whatever the outside temperature without the need to engage rotors. The finest interiors are available to complete the cabin in the most luxurious manner suited to the VVIP passenger.

In the event of an emergency landing or ditching, seats are configured to be aligned to large push-out windows maximising egress speed. Floatation aids contribute to stability up to Sea State 6, while life rafts are positioned for access directly from the helicopter cabin.
The AW189 has been designed to provide unique operational capability combined with very competitive economics. Reduced ownership and operating costs are a primary design target for the AW189. A low cost per seat / mile together with a long range capability make this helicopter an ideal alternative to more expensive 19-seat helicopters in Offshore operations. A limited number of components are subject to overhaul and retirement. Maintenance operations have been optimised to reduce downtime for flight intensive Offshore schedules. The AW189 will benefit from the extensive and expanding AgustaWestland worldwide support network already serving the Offshore industry.
