AW169 Successfully Completes Cold Weather Trials In Alaska

Systems Tested Down To -40 C°

The AW169 arrived at last week's Heli-Expo straight from Alaska where last month it successfully completed extreme cold weather trials in the framework of civil certification.

Excellent performance and system reliability were demonstrated at temperatures down to -40 C°.  This latest testing followed a series of hot & high trials in Arizona last year which confirmed the aircraft’s excellent performance in the most demanding environmental conditions.

The AW169 will soon be certified to fly a wide range of missions in the extremes of temperature and altitude across the globe.

The AW169 is part of AgustaWestland’s family of new generation helicopters that includes the AW139 and AW189 models. These helicopters all possess the same flight characteristics and safety features and share the same common cockpit concept and design philosophy. AgustaWestland says this approach will deliver real cost savings in areas such as training, maintenance and support for existing operators of the AW139 who add AW169 and/or AW189 helicopters to their fleets.
