Frequently asked questions
What total time do operators expect for Leonardo AW189 positions?
Minimums vary by mission. Heavy-twin offshore and SAR roles typically require 3,000–5,000 hours total with significant multi-engine turbine and IFR experience. Filter listings by experience band on ChopperSwap to see only roles you qualify for.
Are Leonardo AW189 type ratings funded by employers?
It depends on the market. Established operators in EMS, offshore and SAR typically pay for type ratings and recurrent training as part of the package. Smaller utility, tour and parapublic operators sometimes ask candidates to self-fund or sign a training bond. Each ChopperSwap listing makes this explicit.
Where are most Leonardo AW189 pilot jobs located?
Demand is global, but density follows fleet location. Offshore hubs (Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, UAE, Brazil, Australia) dominate. Use the role × location hubs to drill down.
