01 / Model history

## More compact but more spacious than a light class

The meaning of this choice is revealed on the real route: how many people fly together, whether a working conversation in the cabin is needed and how the sites at the beginning and end of the trip are arranged.

The VIP inscription speaks about the purpose of the finish, not about a single serial layout. Photographs of the interiors of other AW169s should be taken as examples until the specification of the selected side can be seen.

02 / Manufacturer data

## Specifications and uses

The AW169 VIP uses a platform that is compact compared with the AW139, with a customised passenger cabin. The most important thing is to see how a particular project has placed people and things.

Leonardo, Commercial Product Range, data base AW169. The parameters do not promise the same result after the installation of the VIP-interior.

### When size matters

The AW169 VIP is interesting if the larger AW139 is redundant for familiar venues or passenger numbers. But winnings in the amount can not be estimated without checking the boarding and luggage.

Custom salon can prioritize communication, individual chairs or privacy. Each solution uses a useful mass of platform.

### Documents are more important than the name VIP

The VIP tag does not describe a single serial standard. You need a scheme of seats, a list of installed equipment and documents about the certified weight of a particular machine.

Compared to the base AW169, use the published characteristics only as a limit to the capabilities of the family. For the flight, you need to calculate the actual interior.

Capacity and range depend on configuration, payload and flight conditions. A helicopter’s price depends on its equipment and technical condition.
