CHC AW139s To Fly with HTAWS In Brazil
CHC is partnering with Shell and Leonardo to launch Leonardo's Helicopter’s Enhanced Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System in Brazil.

CHC Group is partnering with Shell and Leonardo to launch the first global implementation of Leonardo Helicopter’s Enhanced Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (HTAWS) on CHC’s AW139 fleet serving Shell in Brazil. HTAWS software and equipment computes in real-time the precise three-dimensional position and velocity of the aircraft in relation to databases of the terrain height and hazardous-obstacle locations. The system allows the pilot to execute immediate changes to the flight trajectory to prevent controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) events in inherently hazardous flight situations.
