The AW109SP GrandNew is a helicopter from the Italian manufacturer Leonardo (formerly Agusta Westland). The AW109 offers comfortable seating for four to six passengers and is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney engines. The company's twin-engine "flagship" is primarily used for taxi flights in the VIP sector.
The glass cockpit offers pilots an excellent view in combination with an ergonomic workplace. Digitalized avionics for one/two-pilot instrument flight operation and a 4-axis dual duplex digital autopilot, which is coupled with a flight director, guarantee maximum safety and a low workload for the pilot(s). Thanks to the state-of-the-art avionics on the one hand and the two turbines on the other, multi-engine training (ME) and training in instrument flight (IR) can be completed on the AW109.
