Agusta has delivered the 100th A109 Power to Austrian customer SchenkAir. The helicopter will be operated in an EMS configuration. More than 35 aeromedical A109 Power helicopters have been purchased by 16 operators and are either currently in service or will soon begin operations.

While the police version is in service with Italian, UK and US police forces, the military version has won orders for 30 aircraft from South Africa.

The A109 Power is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney 206C or Turbomeca Arrius 2K1 engines controlled by a Full Authority Digital Engine Control system (FADEC). The Power is single pilot IFR certified and Category A take-off from elevated helipads is possible at maximum take-off weight.

Said a spokesman: “The Power satisfies the new European regulations relating to class one performance helicopters, with an external noise level below the limit set by ICAO (Annex 16) regulations.”
