A fantastic day spent with Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) at their 'Heli-bration' event yesterday at Hatfield Park to welcome the newest addition to their Air Ambulance fleet. The brand new #Leonardo AW169 was centre stage as visitors got to meet the crew and learn more about the live-saving actions of the Air Ambulance. #helibration #AW169

Double the excitement in Mollis! Our Kopter Team came together during an All Employee Meeting to witness both of our #AW09 prototypes in flight simultaneously for the first time. This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of all cross-geographical teams from Leonardo Helicopters. Seeing our collective efforts soar is truly rewarding. Here's to the power of teamwork and shared success!   #Aviation #Teamwork #Achievement

The Leonardo #SafetyManagementSystem (SMS) workshop, a structured approach to aviation safety management, took place earlier this week in Vergiate, Italy. SMS represents a structured approach to aviation safety management based on four pillars:    ✔️ Safety Policy: the Managing Director defines the company objectives in order to deliver a product with a high level of performance, especially in terms of #safety;  ✔️ Safety Risk Management: it includes all processes leading to hazard identification, risk assessment and control;  ✔️ Safety Assurance: it ensures that the actions taken produce the expected results; and ✔️ Safety Promotion: using #training and communication to create a safety culture. During the workshop, a panel of experts and moderators took turns analysing procedures and safety policies, ensuring that the actions taken produce the expected results, and comparing success stories with literary works. The event underscored #Leonardo's ongoing commitment to promoting a culture of risk and safety management, where the need for continuous training and constant communication is crucial to creating a pervasive safety culture.

“The lift-off June 27 marked the last aircraft out and official end of the new helicopter’s time at Eglin and its flight forward to a future as an Air Force Global Strike Command combat capable asset. The #MH139 arrived at Eglin in December 2019 and was officially named #GreyWolf shortly after. For its first two years, testing was limited for the then Boeing-owned aircraft. The 413th Flight Test Squadron teamed up with #AFGSC’s Detachment 7 to manage, fly, and crew the test missions with Boeing flight crew during the aircraft’s time at Eglin.”   Read more via Eglin Air Force Base: https://lnkd.in/dAER_FrY

The arrival of two cutting-edge Leonardo #AW139 helicopters at Joint Base Andrews marks a significant milestone for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)’s Aerial Measuring System (#AMS) program.    These state-of-the-art aircraft are set to replace their legacy helicopters that have served the Remote Sensing Lab for nearly three decades. Equipped with advanced radiation detection systems, AMS aircraft play a crucial role in NNSA's radiological and nuclear detection efforts at large-scale special events. The AW139s represent a significant upgrade, providing enhanced detection capabilities, increased efficiency, and improved safety for the crews operating them. Their arrival starts an exciting chapter in the NNSA's commitment to ensuring the security of the nation's critical infrastructure and events. It also shows #Leonardo's commitment to public safety and the future of #aviation.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/effzQJ5q

Our first #AW09 Sales Network event in #Mollis, Switzerland, was a great success! We were pleased to welcome our esteemed AW09 partners from around the globe for a two-day event filled with insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and dynamic Q&A sessions. Representatives from Sloane Helicopters, Léman Aviation, #JetA, Kaan Air, Synerjet Corp, #GualterHelicopters, Vulkaan Group, #AeroFacility, and HELITECH AVIATION had the opportunity to connect with various teams and gain in-depth knowledge about the AW09 programme and Customer Support. An event highlight was showcasing the #PS5 prototype in flight. Additionally, partners enjoyed an exclusive session on the interior of the #Agusta version, recently unveiled at #EBACE. A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making it a remarkable experience!

Following the successful completion of the #AW609 #tiltrotor’s first ship trials campaign, with the support of the Italian Navy – Marina Militare, Commander gianfranco cito, Head of the AW609 Flight Test Department, and Commander Luca Moro, Italian Navy Experimental Test Pilot, share their experience. The initial test campaign, conducted in a synthetic environment using the AW609 simulator located at Cascina Costa (Italy), allowed the Commanders to perform a preliminary assessment of the activities to be carried out later in operation. Deck landing and take-off procedures were performed in over 15 different conditions (including wind conditions), featuring straight-in and lateral approach, vertical landing, vertical take-off, and lateral exit.
