Leonardo TH-119 Gets IFR Approval
Leonardo's candidate for a replacement U.S. Navy training helicopter gets IFR approval from the FAA

Leonardo’s proposed U.S. Navy training helicopter, the TH-119, has received IFR supplemental type certification (STC) from the FAA. The TH-119 is equipped with Genesys Aerosystems avionics and a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6B engine. It is based on the AW119 civil helicopter and features an adjustable observer seat that provides a full view of the cockpit, reinforced skids with removable shoes, and has the ability for “hot” pressure refueling without shutting the engine down.
