what after A109SP
Hi
company is looking to replace A109SP with something bigger AW139 , H160 that size of machine , curious your opinion guys which direction is better . Not many choices apart those two I did mention . Key factors speed , SP VFR , IFR , VFR night , anti-ice would be nice but only AW139 is offering I believe and it’s quite a bit problematic and range .
Bell can offer 429 and than 525 which is to
big , nothing in between .
A169 maintenance is demanding what I heard.
Aby of you have some experience on mentioned models ?
Any advice appreciated
