1 AW189 Offshore LATEST GENERATION PERFORMANCE

2 DELIVERING PRODUCTIVITY The AW189 is a brand new 8.3 tonne, twin-engine helicopter, designed to answer the growing market demand for a versatile, affordable, multirole platform. Ideally suited to long range, deep water missions typical of current Offshore operations, AW189 features high performance, state-of-the-art technologies and exceeds the latest regulatory requirements (EASA/FAA Part 29, JAR OPS 3/ EUOPS). Belonging to the AgustaWestland Family of products (with AW169 and market-leading AW139), mixed-fleet operators can leverage the advantage of a common design philosophy across platforms.

3 SAFETY BY DESIGN The AW189 exceeds the airworthiness requirements of the most recent EASA/FAA amendments in the transport category (Part 29), qualifying it for the most stringent guidelines of the major Oil and Gas companies. Further safety features include structural crashworthiness integral to the design of the airframe, fuel system and seats, a reinforced windscreen and optimum position of critical controls, which mitigates the consequences of a birdstrike. The main gearbox benefits from an unparalleled 50 minute dry-run capability. The cockpit design incorporates latest generation, advanced situational awareness technologies (HTAWS, TCAS II) which reduces crew workload. High main rotor clearance ensures a safe environment for ground operations and maintenance crew. Advanced Helicopter Usage and Monitoring System (HUMS) diagnostic tools continuously monitor systems, further enhancing safety and reducing time on the ground. In the event of an emergency landing or ditching, seats are aligned to large push-out windows to maximise egress speed. Flotation system is certified for ditching up to Sea State 6 and life rafts are positioned for access directly from the cabin or from outside. PERFORMANCE The AW189 is powered by two GE CT7-2E1 engines, delivering high speed and superior performance in hover and Cat. A. The aerodynamic fuselage and innovative rotor blade design reduce fuel consumption and maximise range. The excellent helicopter radius of action allows to transport 16 passengers at 140 nm (ROA). AVIONICS - THE PILOTS CHOICE Exceptional external visibility and leading-edge avionics maximise pilot s situational awareness. The open-architecture avionics suite includes a fully digital glass cockpit with four 8 x10 displays (AMLCD), a 4-axis dual-duplex digital automatic flight control system (DAFCS) and dual Flight Management Systems (FMS), minimising pilot workload during VFR/IFR flight. The avionics suite is suitable for satellite-based IFR navigation (RNAV/RNP, vertical navigation and precision approaches) together with advanced communication and surveillance requirements (ADS-B). An optional Synthetic Vision System emulates the surrounding topography to improve terrain and obstacle awareness, whilst an optional Enhanced Vision System allows pilots to see through darkness, smoke, dust and light fog to further ensure safety. The avionics system also performs Point-In- Space (PINS) for Offshore approach procedures. SPACIOUS CABIN DESIGN The AW189 benefits from the largest cabin in its class (11.2 m 3 / ft 3 ), featuring: Large, flat floor space, with accommodation for up to 19 passengers disposed on 4 rows Seat rows are aligned with emergency exit windows Easily reconfigured, with different internal layout Low vibration and noise levels Capability to rapidly install equipment for Lim. SAR operations Large sliding doors for speed of passenger entry and egress to all 4 rows, simultaneously Large baggage compartment (2.4 m 3 / 85 ft 3 ), accessible from both helicopter s sides. Cabin length 3.47 m 11 ft 5 in Cabin width 2.43 m 7 ft 12 in Cabin height 1.42 m 4 ft 8 in

4 FOR YOUR MISSION AgustaWestland has leveraged decades of collaboration with customers worldwide to ensure unrivalled versatility in the AW189 platform. The AW189 is certified for all weather, day and night, VFR/IFR operations, critical for the harsh conditions prevalent in Offshore operations. The spacious, versatile cabin seats 16 passengers as standard and can be configured with up to 19 seats for high density missions and 12 seats for ultra-long range requirements. High cruise speed, an extremely high payload due to the efficient rotor system design and superior O.E.I capability ensures safety and reduces operational costs. Latest generation avionics enhance situational awareness, reduce crew workload and expand operational capabilities. Typical Offshore Passenger Configuration: 16 individual crashworthy seats with separate four point safety belts External life rafts (2 x 21) with emergency JTSO 126 beacon ADELT JTSO 126 Emergency floats (up to Sea State 6 ditching capability) Helicopter Emergency Exit Light System (HEELS) HUMS and Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as standard HTAWS as standard VHF/FM radio Satcom with Flight Following Environmental Control System TCAS II Weather radar Optional Equipment includes: Full Ice Protection System (FIPS) or Limited Ice Protection System (LIPS) for operations in icing conditions, pressure refuelling, single/dual hoist, search light, mission console, nose-mounted FLIR and cargo hook. AW189 MISSION CAPABILITY Radius of Action, IFR mission: Return fuel, 10% contingency, 30 minute reserves Passengers at 100 kg / 220 lb each SUPERIOR ECONOMICS AND SUPPORT The AW189 is designed to maximise operational capability and minimise cost. The low cost seat/mile and long range capability make the platform a compelling alternative to more expensive 19 seat helicopters currently in operation offshore. Maintenance operations have been minimised by design, as have components subject to overhaul and replacement, reducing downtime for flight-intensive Offshore schedules. A worldwide network of service and support centres is already serving the Offshore industry. AW189 TRAINING AgustaWestland customers maximise safety and operational effectiveness with advanced, tailored training solutions. State-of-the-art Level D Full Flight Simulators (FFS), computer-based modules and training device for flight and ground crew, are available to serve the worldwide AW189 customer base. AgustaWestland Family operators will benefit from optimised training for pilots and technicians familiar with the AW139 platform, reducing time required for instructor-led and FFS-based training.
