The AW189 advanced flight deck uses Collins advanced avionics with four 13-inch color active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) and 4-axis dual-duplex digital automatic flight control system. Offering enhanced capabilities to support long-range, all-weather, day and night, deep water missions typical of the offshore operations.
