What engines does the example LEONARDO AW109SP GRANDNEW have?
The due list for the example LEONARDO AW109SP GRANDNEW (serial 22294) shows two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C engines, each at 1446.5 hours as of 23-Jan-2024.
Can it carry 8 passengers?
Registry data shows up to 8 passengers across the AW109SP family. This is a family maximum, so confirm the seating and payload of the specific LEONARDO AW109SP GRANDNEW against its own flight manual and weight-and-balance record.
Does an inlet filter change the flight manual performance?
For the LEONARDO AW109SP GRANDNEW with the AFS IBF, the supplement says the basic RFM performance charts still apply. A hover power assurance check with at least +5°C TOT margin must confirm the engines can deliver that performance.

Family-level capability
Registry data for the AW109SP family shows up to 2800 kg MTOW, up to 8 passengers, cruise up to 126 kt, range up to 360 nm and service ceiling up to 20000 ft. These are family maxima, not guaranteed for this exact aircraft. Confirm against the flight manual and the weight-and-balance record.

Inlet barrier filter (IBF) supplement
The FAA-approved supplement covers the AFS inlet barrier filter on A109E, A109S and AW109SP. Maximum operating pressure altitude with it is 15000 ft, and the bypass doors should be open above 10000 ft in cruise. A hover power assurance check needs at least +5°C TOT margin. Category A operations are permitted with a daily power assurance check.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- With the IBF fitted, the hover power assurance check must show at least +5°C TOT margin. If it does not, clean the filters, recheck, then call maintenance.
- Avoid dirty or dusty operation with an IBF bypass door open, because it can erode the compressor.
- Do not step on or place items on IBF filter elements. Damaged pleats reduce filtering.
