Fleet Safety
AW139 Safety
The AW139 is designed to meet the rigorous JAR / FAR 29 standards, which meet and/or exceed military design standards in many areas such as hazard avoidance, bad weather operations and noise reduction.
Constructed with energy-absorbing landing gear, fuselage and seats, the AW139 protects its occupants in the event of hard landing.
The high main and tail-rotor ground clearance provides significant safety margin for crew, maintenance personnel and, most critically, the passengers while on the ground, day or night.
Our Cabin with Luxury Facilities
Mission ready
When lives are on the line, the AW139 is primed to respond. Configured jointly for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Search and Rescue (SAR) missions, the helicopter combines advanced technology, safety design features and superior performance as well as a wide range of dedicated role equipment. Category A with Performance Class 1 certification allows the AW139 to operate safely.
Outstanding technology and safety
The AW139 has safety and technology built into its design. Fulfilling the latest certification requirements, the helicopter benefits from multiple crashworthiness and safety features. State-of-the-art integrated avionics, fully digital glass cockpit and role equipment such as the Obstacle Proximity Lidar System (OPLS) minimise pilot workload and improve situational awareness. The Full Ice Protection System (FIPS) and the Limited Ice Protection System (LIPS) can be selected as options.
Exceptional cabin flexibility – SAR
The large, brightly lit, versatile cabin can be adapted into a variety of layouts to suit SAR and Medevac operations, with up to four stretchers. It provides abundant space to work including accommodation for fully integrated mission console, medical treatment, and casualty evacuation interiors. A separate baggage compartment, optionally accessible from the cabin, can be used to stow stretchers or SAR equipment.
Exceptional cabin flexibility – EMS
It can accommodate up to five medical attendants and two stretchers longitudinally and transversally, along with a full suite of the most advanced life-support equipment, allowing complete access to the patient. The large sliding doors on each side enable easy stretcher loading, both on the ground and in flight.
