Lotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe Takes Delivery Of The First A109
Power Helicopters
AgustaWestland says it's delivered
the first A109 Power to Polish operator Samodzielnym Publicznym
Zakladem Opieki Zdrowotnei Lotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe (LPR). The
Power will be the first light twin IFR equipped helicopter
registered in Poland. LPR is the latest addition to the growing
number of EMS operators worldwide benefiting from the performance
of the A109 Power.
LPR provides medical transport in Poland with 16 bases around
the country and will use the A109 Power to replace one of its
existing 19 Mi-2 helicopters that have to be phased out of service
before 2009. The A109 Power will be equipped with Collins avionics,
EFIS, moving map display, FM radio, an ICS integrated satellite
telephone and a complete medical suite providing a new standard to
the Polish aero medical community.
The Power's patient/medical staff cabin is completely separate
from the cockpit, allowing 2 or 3 attendants full access to the
one/two longitudinally placed litters without disruption to the
cockpit. Both internal and baggage bay storage is provided for
equipment and patient access is facilitated through large cabin
doors on either side of the fuselage. The internal layout includes
provision for the installation of all necessary medical equipment
to treat patients whilst in transit. Standard oxygen and power
supply units are positioned on both the cabin rear bulkhead and
upper side panels.
