A109E Shutdown Procedures

I believe there was a post at one time that described the reason for no cool down time for the 109. Can anyone expand on that issue? Coffee table discussion!

A109Grand - main rotor blades folding

Hello all

We are in the very, very first stages of designing a heli-garage on a big yacht.

Question: Is it easy to fold the main rotor blades on a Grand?

How long does that approx. take? Done by pilot or qualified yacht-staff?

Anything to consider?

Thank you very much
LadyGrey

[ShyTorque]

The blades don't fold.

[LadyGrey]

But on the website it says

• Baggage compartment extension (1.9 or 2.3 m)
• Main rotor blades high visibility painting
• Blade folding
• Customised painting scheme with metallic colours

Please help!

Thank you
LG

Mmmm ...

I'm not sure of the details of blade folding specific to the A109 ...however ...


Be aware that depending on where the aircraft is registered the folding/unfolding of main rotor blades may be allowed to be done by the pilot if he has been specifically trained AND approved to do so .... OR it may require a Licensed Engineer be present to attend to that task .... also it may be a requirement that an entry be made in the aircraft maintenance documents whenever this is done.

Good luck ..

Even if it can be accomplished on any Helicopter it will need certification by a duly Licensed person, normally a licensed Engineer and an independent inspection (Dupes) thereafter, so two people, and with some regulatory authorities that does not include the pilot, not Yacht personnel unless they also happen to hold engineering qualifications.

P.S did I mention I'm licensed and like boats? any vacancies?

Mmmm ....

Stace .... here's a plan .... a team effort me the pilot/engineer you the engineer ... complete coverage ... now where do we put the bar?

[LadyGrey]

Yes, Stacey, in three years time, it`ll take that much time to build that boat

Some 80Meters, I suppose there will be some space left over for a bar...

Thank you Gentlemen for your replies, very much appreciated

This beauty was built 2008. in Croatia, Pula shipyard, AW 109 made often traffic on
expanded back deck, but AW109 is so/so choice for seagoing operations.
1) wheels / better chose skids
2) break problem tnx to strange parking brakes hidraulic accumulator problem,
fleet of 8 units, withdrawn from US Coast guard use tnx to that.

Take something with skids instead (AW119 Koala_e) if single engine fits other safety issues
like life insurance of your VIP guests, EC135 can be maybe better choice....

[stacey_s]

what about EC130 B 4, nice aircraft for short trips?
