AW169 PC simulator
Is there a AW169 PC sim to get familiar with the FMS and autopilot? I know a few options for the AW139, but can't find any for the 169.

No. No online emulator as yet for the AW169. I’m told it’s possibly coming, but at the moment you have to go to the training facility in Sesto to use the VIPT or desktop training suite. Once you sign up for a course you will have access to the reading material on all phases and the training information.
forgot to add, the simulator is a Phase 4. The VIPT is a phase 4. FFS will be upgraded to phase 6 I believe very soon. Some subtle but useful changes, then phase 7 is available with phase 8 also available once the update to phase 7 has been complete. Again don’t quote me on this but I think Phase 7 is some structural changes and phase 8 is software. So when using an emulator make sure its for the correct phase as it can get somewhat confusing. |
The FMS emulator exists for windows, but it's very unreliable and outdated, having functions which are now automatic or simply deleted.

As a former 412 mechanic, I can say there is no such thing as minimal maintenance on those pigs. 212 was much better and I'd actually rather take a 139 into the bush than a 412. Far less day to day problems.
Stupid pendulum absorbers that broke apart every 50 hours. Stupid MR blades that are near impossible to balance if you breathe on them. Grrrrrrr. MR heads that would keep moving forever and never settle down after install, continuously affecting vibes. Oh and the governor rigging for the +2/-2. And AFCU failures all the time. Yeah, I remember the 412. Not fondly. |

Most operators operating don’t have the same experience you mentioned above with the B412 operating fire, utility, EMS.

Nothing like a profit motive to drive efficiency!

Hi!
Can someone give me the BEW of an AW169 with HEMS configuration and with all existing equipment in baggage compartment? Many thanks. |
3.400 (EMS + Hoist) to which you need to add the removable equipment (EKG, defib,...)

Thank's :ok: |
Anyone know how to adjust the resolution on the HTAWS or weather radar on the AW169? Its like watching a Lego cartoon, or an old Doom game! Its very pixelated, or is that the way it is? I don't have a picture, but havoing flown the S92, I prefer that WX radar for more than this bloody AW169 one!

Way better to use HTAWS overlay on DMAP. Easy go-no go decision making if you are at cloud base...

Thanks Aucky, I checked the RFM, yep, basic, ####. Had better RADAR in the S76 I flew 10 years ago!
