The AW139 has an Offshore Cat A procedure along with the necessary data - see Supplement 12 of the RFM and Supplement 50 for the increased mass to 6800.

The drop-down data will allow calculation of the appropriate mass to comply with the deck height you intend operating to.

QED - no PC2 - only Cat A.

Of course one question is begged and that is 'what happens if the deck environment does not permit a Cat A Approach or perhaps even a Cat A Take Off?'

Can't help you there.
