AgustaWestland will continue icing trials this winter in Alaska on the AW189 in pursuit of certification of the full icing protection system (Fips) on the AW189 super-medium twin. That helicopter received certification in 2014 and is currently available only with limited icing protection (Lips), similar to the icing protection system installed on the smaller AW139 medium twin.
