Agustawestland AW189 (V2, 1.0 Compatible)
The AgustaWestland AW189 is a twin-engine medium-lift helicopter manufactured by Leonardo (Formally AgustaWestland) and is a civil-orientated version of the AW149 with emphasised capability for long-range operation noted as being a "super-medium class" and is also designed with reducing crew workload in mind as well as enhanced safety.
It is most notably used in the HM Coastguard and as of 2020 has 11 AW189s in service for search-and-rescue operations across the coast of Britain.
This is an extensive upgrade of my previous AW189 seeing how it’s became very outdated in comparison to nowadays standards, therefore a lot of this is totally new including the logic system.
To start up:
– Look at the lower middle panel
– Turn on avionic power, engine power & lights power.
– Make sure your rotor brake is OFF
– Turn on engine fuel as well as its pump & the servo.
– Toggle the engine and hold "1" to increase your throttle, use your collective accordingly.
To use hi-speed mode:
– Look at your current altitude via the main monitors.
– Remember that altitude, input it into the keypad closest to you.
– Turn on hi-speed mode (Note that the helicopter will fly 10m or so higher than the set altitude)
– IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN ON ALTITUDE HOLD AS WELL AS HI-SPEED MODE.
– IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR ALTITUDE TOO HIGH/LOW FROM YOUR CURRENT ALT.
To use altitude-hold:
– Slow down as much as possible during flight.
– Press altitude hold, it may be sensitive and the helicopter may adjust itself in weird ways, be sure to counteract it.
– The helicopter may vibrate a little, this can be counteracted by tapping "2" or simply leaving it alone, as it doesn’t effect operations.
– Over 200km range on one tank. (Using hi-speed mode)
– Hi-speed mode: highly efficient horizontal flight at a max speed of 150 knots.
– Seats 6 individuals
– Altitude-hold
– Fully functioning radio
– Double harness winch able to be controlled from the harness.
– 14703l of fuel
– Monitors with several different videos to choose from
