What is the Agusta AW109 Grand suited to?

It is a light twin-engine helicopter for small-group transfers and other passenger work. A compact cabin behind the cockpit can use facing seats, making it a practical setting for short executive or private journeys.

Can I expect the same cabin across all AW109 versions?

No. Versions and individual interiors differ in available seating and finish. Ask for a current cabin image and baggage allowance, especially when the party will use most of the seats.

What is the passenger cabin like?

Passenger versions can use facing seats or transport rows behind the cockpit. Executive, medical and utility interiors can be very different, so the actual cabin photographs and seat plan matter.

How much luggage should the group plan to bring?

A guide figure for baggage space is about 0.95 cubic metres. Keep the luggage plan specific: number of bags, dimensions and weight. The operator can then check both the compartment and total load, rather than relying on the passenger seat count as a baggage allowance.

Is the quoted range a guarantee for our transfer?

The operator needs to check the exact landing sites, passenger and baggage weights, weather and required fuel reserves. A general range figure does not confirm that a particular helicopter can complete the proposed transfer with the planned load.

Can it take us somewhere without a runway?

A helicopter can use a suitable helipad or landing site rather than a runway. Give the operator the exact location so access, obstacles, ground arrangements and the proposed flight can be checked before the transfer is agreed.

What powers the Agusta AW109 Grand?

A typical installation uses two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C engines. Confirm the precise engine subvariant and any conversion package on the offered aircraft if the specification is important to the choice.

Agusta AW109 Grand Description

The GrandNew, also known as the model AW109 SP, is a light, twin-engine helicopter, produced and developed by AgustaWestland of Italy. The GrandNew features the latest digital avionics, a new digital glass-cockpit and a composite material fuselage. The GrandNew seats up to seven passengers in a spacious cabin (7.5 ft long), with a range of up to 432 nautical miles and a top speed of 178 mph. The AW109SP GrandNew is the latest derivative of the time-tested A109 series of helicopters, which were originally designed as a rescue mission aircraft in the 1970s. The original A109 utilized twin Allison 250-C20 turbines, but has since been modernized and updated for many different types of missions. Before the AW109 GrandNew was certified in 2011, the AW109E Power was the most modern A109 derivative. First flying in 1995 and subsequently certified in 1996, the AW109E Power still remains in service today, despite no longer being the most modern in the family. The GrandNew takes its name from its hugely successful predecessor, the Grand, which was known for its excellent performance, interior space, reliability, and economy. The GrandNew features pivotal technological advances while staying true to the efficient design and performance of the Grand. As a result, the GrandNew successfully integrates modern innovation with its predecessor's time-tested strengths, without losing sight of what made it great in the first place.
