Service information Leonardo S.p.a. Service bulletins, structural repair manuals, vendor manuals, Rotorcraft Flight Manual, and overhaul and maintenance manuals, which contain a statement that the document is EASA approved, are accepted by the FAA and are considered FAA approved. These approvals pertain to the approved type design only. Flight Manual EASA approved on behalf of FAA Rotorcraft Flight Manual, 189G0290X002, Issue 1 Revision 3 or later approved revision (See NOTE 5). Maintenance Manual Maintenance Planning Information 89-B-AMPI-00-P Maintenance Publication 89-A-AMP-00-X. R00004RD 10 Rev. 5 NOTES NOTE 1 A current weight and balance report, including a list of equipment included in the certificated empty weight, must be provided for each helicopter at the time of original airworthiness certification in accordance with 14 CFR 29.25, 29.27 and 29.29. NOTE 2 All placards required by either FAA Approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual, the applicable operating rules, or the Certification Basis must be installed in the helicopter. 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 accordingly. NOTE 4 The model AW189 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. NOTE 5 The FAA approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) is identical to the EASA approved RFM; any exceptions unique for FAA are presented on yellow pages marked “EASA approved on behalf of FAA” or “FAA Approved”. They must be included in the FAA manual to reflect the differences noted below: 1. Section 1, LIMITATIONS, MINIMUM FLIGHT CREW: Requires two pilots for IFR 2. Section 4, Performance Data, NOISE CHARACTERISTICS: Model: AW189 General Electric GE CT7-2E1 Gross Weight 8300 kg Configuration Level Flyover EPNL Take Off EPNL Approach EPNL (EPNdB) (EPNdB) (EPNdB) 102% NR 102% NR 102% NR Clean aircraft No external kits installed 95.2 91.3 99.1 NOTE 6 The Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 incorporates an integrated avionics system using software-based line replaceable units (LRU) which share a digital signal transmission bus. The software configuration of the AW189, 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 AW189, 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. NOTE 8 Any changes to the type design of this helicopter by means of a 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 AW189 name identifies production batches manufactured in conformity with the same Type Design. Applicable serial numbers: • S/N 49007: and subsequent, manufactured by AgustaWestland S.p.A. or Finmeccanica S.p.A., or Leonardo S.p.a. in Italy. • S/N 89001: and subsequent, manufactured by AgustaWestland S.p.A. or Finmeccanica S.p.A., or Leonardo S.p.a. in Italy.
