Fleet Safety
VIP AW169
Developed in accordance with the latest FAA/EASA Part 29 certification standards and EU Air OPS regulations, the AW169 features: crash-resistant airframe, fuel system and seats, large windows for emergency egress and one engine inoperative (OEI) capability, even in critical environmental conditions.
Safety on the ground is enhanced by the high clearance of the main and tail rotor. The auxiliary power unit (APU) mode ensures the continued operation of the environmental control system, radios and medical devices when the rotors are stopped, increasing the operational safety level of the AW169 while on ground (i.e. during rendez-vous with ground ambulances).
An advanced open-architecture avionics suite with a fully digital glass cockpit ensures exceptional external visibility, maximising situational awareness and minimising pilot workload during day and night operations, increasing operational safety. The AW169 conforms to the latest satellite navigation systems.
