1 INTRODUCTION
The Grand is a new top-of-the-range light twin helicopter developed to meet market requirements
in a multitude of applications. Positioned at the upper end of the light twin
FAR/JAR 27 segment (3175 kg 7000 lb), the Grand features high performance capabilities,
providing levels of cabin space and payload previously available only on intermediate-size
category helicopters, whilst retaining attractive economics typical of the light twin category.
The Grands spacious, unobstructed passenger cabin (2.30 m 7 ft 7 in max length) is easily
accessible through large sliding cabin doors (1.40 m 4 ft 7in), one on each side of the fuselage. A
comprehensive selection of interiors and mission equipment makes the Grand a suitable platform
for a multitude of roles, including Corporate/VIP transportation, EMS, Law Enforcement, Offshore
and various Utility operations. The Grands 815 shp new generation Pratt & Whitney Canada
PW207C turboshaft engines with electronic control (FADEC) ensure outstanding performance
capabilities in both hovering and cruising flight, including full Cat. A/Class 1 capability, whilst
retaining low fuel burn characteristics. The payload/range characteristics and the very high cruise
speed give the Grand capabilities which are unique in its category.
The cockpit layout provides excellent visibility and an ergonomic working space for the pilots. The
instrument panel incorporates four LCD displays for flight and navigation together with two LCD
multifunction displays (IDS) for aircraft/engine data monitoring, crew alerting and maintenance data
pages. State-of-the-art avionics for single/dual pilot IFR operation, including a three-axis duplex
autopilot coupled with a Flight Director, are standard features of the helicopter and maximise safety
of operations and a low pilot workload. High passive safety is available to the flight crew and the
passengers thanks to the cocoon-type high strength airframe fitted with a crash-resistant fuel
system and crashworthy seats for both the pilot(s) and passengers.
The Grands composite material main and tail rotor blades feature optimised geometry and tip
profile for high aerodynamic efficiency and contribute to reduce external noise to levels well below
the ICAO noise limits.
Operating economics benefit from low level of maintenance requirements, both in terms of
materials and man-hours required. Only a few main components are subject to overhaul, whilst a
limited number of low cost parts are subject to retirement: in both cases TBOs (Time Between
Overhaul) or retirement hours are high. In addition, an attractive Warranty Policy and, alternatively,
availability of competitive Pay-by-the-hour spare parts support programmes ensure optimum
operating cost control.
THF-AG-0607-1

6 DIRECT OPERATING COST (DOC)

6.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section provides information on the Direct Operating Costs (DOC) connected with the typical
operation of the Grand. It is assumed that the helicopter is civil certified and operates in a
temperate climate in a non-corrosive environment (recommended anti-corrosive measures must be
observed for off-shore operations and adequate protection from weather provided when not flying,
etc.). The DOC reflects the aircraft operated, maintained and supported using the recommended
tooling and facilities by experienced personnel in defined working conditions. It is assumed that the
helicopter is in basic configuration without any optional equipment.
DOC information has been estimated in accordance with the Helicopter Association International
(HAI) methodology.
Since the DOC may vary depending upon parameters such as FH per Year, Operational Life,
Engine Cycle etc., a typical usage spectrum for a Corporate configuration has been analysed:
-
300 FH per year

10 years as reference period
1 Landing per FH
1 Engine cycle per FH
Direct Costs are, by definition, those that are related directly to each hour flown covering:
-
Fuel and lubricants

Airframe direct maintenance
Power plant maintenance
The following description provides the rationale of the data included within.
6.1.1 Fuel and lubricants

The data shown reflects the average fuel consumption assuming operation at the optimum range
speed, at 1000 ft altitude, and ISA conditions. Customers' actual fuel consumption may vary
depending on many factors, including: speed, temperature, weight, altitude, helicopter
configuration, and mission. Depending on these factors, the average fuel consumption could
increase by 10%. The cost of lubricants is estimated at 3% of the cost of the fuel.
6.1.2 Airframe direct maintenance

The airframe direct maintenance cost estimates are provided in the categories of line maintenance
labour, and parts.
a.
Labour
The estimated labour costs includes the time required to conduct scheduled inspections, perform
the removal and replacement of Overhaul and Retirement Parts, and to conduct unscheduled
maintenance as required.
WITHOUT NOTICE
50
THF-AG-0607-1
b.
Parts
-
Inspections consumables - Data shown refers to the cost of the parts replaced during
scheduled inspections.
Unscheduled - Data shown refers to components repair cost (including parts and labour)
and replacement of non-repairable parts for unscheduled maintenance.
Overhaul - Data shown refers to the average overhaul (including parts and labour) for major
dynamic components with scheduled time between overhaul (TBO) intervals.
Life Limit - Data shown refers to the replacement cost of all components with a mandatory
retirement life.
6.1.3 Powerplant maintenance

The powerplant direct operating cost estimate includes costs for periodic inspections and
overhauls as per P&WC Engine Maintenance Cost for PW207C. Since the engine overhaul interval
is bound by both operating hours, and engine cycles, the engine cycles assumed in each Engine
Maintenance Cost estimation are detailed in the main assumptions table to respect the different
mission profiles. It is assumed that the aircraft powerplant overhaul is performed by the engine
manufacturer.
The table below reports detailed information about estimated DOC. Further information is available
through AgustaWestland Customer Support and Marketing Organisations.
