How is Agusta's spares support in the middle east?? It sucks here in N. America. Italy and AAC never seen to communicate. No one can give you a delivery date on anything. We recieved a second AW139 just before Christmas and still have not recieved our 15 seat configuration. No one in AAC knows when it will be delivered. We are still waiting for the 4th axis on our first machine also for the last year.

Agusta support
We have installed 7 aircraft with the 4th axis auto pilot as per the BT. It not a big deal.
Our 8th aircraft we did have to wait a long time to receive the 2 AHRS.
It alot quicker to carry out upgrades than to wait for Agusta.
We are completing the bubble windows, SX16, hard cover floats, Talon radio.
Just have the phone handy to get ahold of the rep when the aircraft wiring is not whats in the BT or IETP.

Spares
I'm not an Engineer so thankfully I don't have to fight those battles. Delays seem hit or miss dependent on what componant. At least you won't have to deal with UAE Customs

Has anyone got the nightsun mounted in a position other than the left hand side which is very limiting. Picture if possible would be appreciated.

Do you mean 95% of crews you know leave the EGPWS off all the time or just sometimes when they're low level?
Just curious, our own operations mean we only get under the threshold for activation on finals, so basically it's left alone pretty much all the time. Apart from which, I seem not to be able to handle the little caption on the PFD looking dolefully out at me.
