Correct unless it has the extra kit.
Do the SAR 139 s on the new contract have that extra kit and, if so, what is the kit and what does it comprise? Is it as good as the RIPS on the S92?

Presumably the SLD icing detector simply says 'vacate the icing environment' if it detects the presence of SLDs? You can usually see the formation of clear ice on parts of the airframe (aerials, wipers, ice accretion probe) it doesn't give any protection, just detection.
