Study Notes
AW Family Helicopters
- The AW169, AW139, and AW189 helicopters share a common design philosophy across a range of platforms.
- They have similar intervals and schedules, allowing operators to optimize resource planning and maximize availability.
- Up to 20% of parts are common across the Family, with up to 30% common maintenance tools and ground support equipment.
- The helicopters feature a high cruise speed and competitive payload/range characteristics, ensuring maximum productivity.
Cockpit Design
- The AW169, AW139, and AW189 have an ergonomically designed full digital glass cockpit with excellent external visibility.
- Information is presented using a common methodology, making it easier for pilots to switch between helicopters.
Safety Features
- The helicopters are designed in accordance with the latest FAA/EASA Part 29 certification standards.
- They incorporate features such as a full crashworthy airframe, meeting the most stringent Oil & Gas Producers safety requirements.
Training
- The common design across the AWFamily leads to optimized training for pilots with previous experience on one platform.
- Simulators are based on the same technology, and training programs benefit from common didactic tools, reducing training time by up to 40%.
Cabin Design
- The AWFamily helicopters have a common cabin design philosophy, with large interior volumes and a constant height, providing an unobstructed and spacious environment.
- The common internal architecture includes a flat ceiling and floor, allowing efficient use of the full area and facilitating rapid role reconfiguration.
