AW139 Engineer
The latest news is a single float deployed / not all 4 as expected / the float control panel is the primary suspect not the pilot / deployment was at 150 knots and the bag is in good shape.

Not sure where you are getting your info from Engineer, but you are misinformed. A single "bottle" fired, but all 4 bags inflated. That I can confirm as I seen the a/c in question myself.
Deployment was at 140 kts, not 150.
Bags were in good shape after the fact.

Mandatory Occurrence Reporting
MORs are usually raised in the following circumstances:
In the event of a hazardous situation occurring
In the event that a hazardous situation would occur unless corrective was taken
Whenever the reported believes that there is a safety operational, maintenance or airworthiness-related issue that should be investigated by the CAA.

CAA Occurrence Reports
Geoffers
I get mine in an e-mail from CAA. You register with CAA (FOC) and check all the boxes you wish to receive auto-e-mails about. The Occurrence Reports are 'hidden' in the link to Safety Information. If you click it there are 2 x pdf files to choose. One is the Safety info digest (around 200Kb) and the smaller one is the occurrence listing which includes all small planks, but the rotary wing section is at the end before balloons.
Give it a try

Type rating
Hi all 139 drivers.
Could you please give me some facts on how long your type rating on the AW139 was before your skill test.
All the same hours with an approved typerating course, or different depending on operator and country?
SIM hours and actual hours please.
Thank you in advance.

AW139 training.
We had a one week ground school and 2 weeks on the SIM in Whippany, 25 hours on the left seat and 25 hours on the right seat (Flying seat) before doing the check ride and it looks just enough to get use to all profile and system available on this machine.You are still looking for your "marks" the first week you fly the real machine and after it is OK.It looks complicated but in reality it is not so hard.It is important to know all systems and the QRH.

You received a custom eight-day ground school (due to the pre-class CBT you did). The usual ground school is ten work days.
Simulator time depends on client/country. The normal minimum is 20 hours PIC. An additional 20 hours SIC if you have a training partner.

Hi, is there anyone out there who could give some information on how the anti/de-ice system is working (if it is reliable, any problems) on the 139? I mean anyone with experience using it in icing conditions?
Is it approved in the FM for flights in known icing (light)?
