(6) Special Condition No. 29-027-SC for Search and Rescue Automatic Flight Control System (See Note 16) The Italian Civil Aviation Authority, ENAC, originally type- certificated this rotorcraft under its Type Certificate Number A415. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number R00002RD. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this rotorcraft on behalf of ENAC, under EASA Type Certificate Number R.006. Equipment. The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (See Certification Basis) must be installed in the helicopter for certification. See LHs Report No. 139G0840W002 - Equipment List or No. 139G0840W005 – Equipment List (Long Nose Configuration). The installation of the following is mandatory for Category-A operations: - Service Bulletin P&WC S.B. 41020; and - Honeywell Primus EPIC software P/N MM7030191-004 or later approved software. The installation of the following is mandatory for Single Pilot VFR operations: - Traffic Advisory System (TCAS), RFM Supplement 25 - Quick Reference Handbook (QRH), LHs Publication Code 502500032, latest issue; and R00002RD 7 Revision 17 - Map / QRH Holder, P/N 4G2510F00111, P/N 4G2510F00113, or equivalent.

The installation of the following is mandatory for operating in icing conditions: - Full Ice Protection System kit (P/N 4G3000F00211) Refer to approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual for other approved mandatory and optional equipment. Service information. Leonardo Service bulletins, structural repair manuals, vendor manuals, aircraft flight manuals, and overhaul and maintenance manuals, which contain a statement that the document is (ENAC/EASA) approved, are accepted by the FAA and are considered FAA approved. These approvals pertain to the approved type design only. Flight Manual. ENAC/EASA approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual (4-Display Configuration), 139G0290X002, dated November 25, 2004, or later approved revision (See NOTE 5 and NOTE 17). Maintenance Manual. Maintenance Planning Information 39-A-AMPI-00-P Maintenance Publication 39-A-AMP-00-P. NOTES NOTE 1 Current weight and balance report including loading instructions and list of equipment included in the certificated empty weight, must be provided for each helicopter at the time of original airworthiness certification. NOTE 2 All placards indicated in the approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual must be installed in the appropriate location. NOTE 3 Information essential to the proper maintenance of the helicopter is contained in the Manufacturer’s Maintenance Manual provided with each helicopter. Life limited components and associated retirement times are presented in Chapter 4 and must be replaced in accordance therewith. NOTE 4 The model AB139/AW139 rotorcraft employs electronic engine controls, commonly named Full authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC), that are recognized to be more susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) than rotorcraft that have non-electronic controls. (EMI may be the result of radiated or conducted interference.) For this reason modifications that add or change systems that have the potential for EMI, must either be qualified to a standard acceptable to the FAA or tested at the time of installation for interference with the FADEC. This type of testing must employ the particular FADEC diagnostic techniques and external diagnostic techniques. The test procedure must be FAA approved. R00002RD 8 Revision 17 NOTE 5 The FAA Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) is identical to the ENAC/EASA approved RFM with exceptions for Minimum Flight Crew limitations and identification of Noise Characteristics. Unique FAA approved pages are marked as “FAA Approved” and must be included in the FAA manual to reflect the differences noted below: 1. Section 1, LIMITATIONS, MINIMUM FLIGHT CREW: Requires two pilots for VFR and two pilots for IFR. For Single Pilot VFR operations, refer to RFM Supplement 32. 2. Section 4, Performance Data, NOISE CHARACTERISTICS: Model: AB139 Engine Pratt and Whitney PT6C-67C & PT6C-67C1 Gross Weight 6400 kg Configuration Level Flyover EPNL (EPNdB) Take Off EPNL (EPNdB) Approach EPNL (EPNdB) 100 % NR 102 % NR 100 % NR 102 % NR Clean aircraft No external kits Installed 89.5 90.4 90.9 92.7 93.2 NOTE 6 The LHs Model AB139/AW139 incorporates an integrated avionics system using software-based line replaceable units (LRU) which share a digital signal transmission bus. The software configuration of the AB139/AW139, as delivered from production, is critical to the proper operation of the avionics and cockpit instrumentation system. Modification to the LRU software supplied with the AB139/AW139, replacement of an LRU with a different LRU, addition of new LRU, or alteration of an LRU interface could adversely affect the airworthiness of the certified software. No changes to the integrated avionics system should be made without coordination with the FAA Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) having jurisdiction over the modifier. NOTE 7 The hydraulic fluids must conform to MIL-PRF-83282 or MIL-PRF-5606 which is an alternate for low Temperature operation - see LIMITATIONS Section of the approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual. The Landing Gear Shock Absorber must be filled only with MIL-PRF-5606. NOTE 8 Any changes to the type design of this helicopter by means of an amended type certificate (TC), supplemental type certificate (STC), or amended STC, requiring instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA's) must be submitted thru the project aircraft certification office (ACO) for review and acceptance by the Fort Worth -Aircraft Evaluation Group (FTW-AEG) Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) prior to the aircraft delivery, or upon issuance of the first standard airworthiness certificate for the affected aircraft, whichever occurs later as prescribed by Title 14 CFR 21.50. Type design changes by means of a field approval that require ICA's must have those ICA's reviewed by the field approving FSDO. NOTE 9 The AB139 and AW139 are two names of the same product. They identify two production batches manufactured in conformity with the same Type Design. Manufacturer's eligible serial numbers: - S/N 31001 to S/N 31054: AB139 designation, manufactured by Agusta S.p.A. in Italy (*), (**) - S/N 31055 to S/N 31157: AW139 designation, manufactured by Agusta S.p.A.in Italy (*), (**) - S/N 31201 to S/N 32999: AW139 Long Nose Configuration, manufactured by Agusta S.p.A.in Italy under EASA Production Certificate IT.21G.0007 (**) - S/N 41001 to S/N 41023: AW139 designation, manufactured by Agusta S.p.A. in USA (*), (**) - S/N 41201 to 41999: AW139 Long Nose Configuration, manufactured by Agusta Aerospace Corporation (AAC) in USA under FAA Production Certificate PC 120NE (***) (*) Already manufactured and not anymore in production.
