OCTANE 100
Agustawestland product support, yes it needs to improve, so does everybody else. Its getting better. However I do highly advise that you do keep some spares on hand, if your fleet is big enough to justify it. It may depend what part of the world your operating in, it might be tougher to get parts if your not in Europe or N.America. The hassle with Agustawestland in North America is that all parts from Italy must go through Philadelphia before they go to the customer. This adds a day or 2 more delivery time (read as AOG time) if your part has to come from Italy.
Some of the stuff that has failed...
Honeywell Starter Generator brushes 270- 300 hour life
1 Honeywell Comm Box
1 Honeywell Rad Alt Box
1 Forward Radio Shelf Cracked due to improper shim support done at factory.
2 A/C Low Pressure Switches
1 IGB input seal (Westland)
1 Yaw trim actuator(Sagem)
2 exhaust pipes crack was only 1/4" replaced with SS Exhaust pipes
1 Rotor Brake Actuator
all the above stuff was covered under warranty.
