Soooooo.... With the SAR 189 now certified and with a MTOW of 8.6t, will the "normal" 189 be getting a MTOW increase soon to match the SAR bird?
Structurally they are the same, bar the extra fuel tanks.

by whom?
EASA?
CAA?
or Bristows
and why only Bristows ones....
'Grounded' is not the same as 'not flying' and has much more severe implications.
HECATE, Please clarify the situation (if you can)

Cracks in the AW189?
must be true as even the Aberdeen P&J has said so ;-)
Love the comment where a worker said that they must have pulled some old 225s out of the shed to replace the 189 - apparently because the 225 was covered in soot - and didn't even have the emergency cards in the back of the seats a priceless ;-)

Aye, a bit cringeworthy. He should be grateful really. That's sixteen of them that didn't need to make something up for their safety observation card that day. 
Looking like an all S92 fleet for UK SAR then...

actually it tells you everything you need to know...
not a real issue, just blown out of proportion
as I mentioned before, this is not a 'grounding', it is a choice of the operator not to fly those aircraft untuil a repair has been doneI guess, anybody seen a notice or AD from EASA?
didn't thnk so
Every new aircraft has teething troubles, this one is no different. I believe there were cracking issues within the sponsons on the early S92s...

Flightglobal: AW189.
"Cracking of internal panels in the cabin..."
(During this week, AW have registered G_MCGO/P/R/S/T which seems to account for the SAR aircraft currently in build at Yeovil.)
