isn't the root of the confusion here that Agusta are using confusing terminology.

they talk about "CAT A and B profiles" when they mean PC1 and PC2.

PC1 and PC2 require "CAT A certification" which the 139 has.

the CAT A operations are in Supplement 12 in the RFM rather than the basic RFM because the helicopter was originally approved under "CAT B certification" then was upgraded to "CAT A certification" later.

I blame Agusta me, comments

Update :- clearly I am wrong based on Geoffers comments below, but in my experience almost everybody is confused about this one way or another.
