AW 119

I was looking at your text... and I´m also interested in knowing more about the AW 119, maintenance, pro and cons, etc... specially looking for performance charts to see usefull load for altitudes between SL to 5000´and high temps between 40-50 C. Can you help me with this or where could I find more info on this aircraft?
So far I have heard/read very good comments on it.

Hi Luispipeval,

I have worked with A119 in high altitude and temperatures and let me tell you that the performances of this helicopter has been always excellent.

There are plenty of A119s used in Spain and Chile for firefighting and all crews are really happy with it.

As far as you know the temperatures in summer at south Spain are around 40ºC, some time higher and the performances are really good.

Let me see If I can scan the performances charts and send you.

Cheers!

Long time since this thread was active, nice to see a 119 around where I live in Scotland just North of Edinburgh, seems to come in and out of a private site on occasions.
Anyone know who operates it.
Not a complainer I am PPLH and just interested.

N119SX is a private AW119 that I know is based in the UK, but I don't know if it's ever travelled up that far north. I can't imagine there's too many of them to pick from in the UK though.

Hi Apollo thanks for this, not sure the colour of the one I see, its dark blue maybe, not like the one you suggest,
