About the Agusta A109
The Agusta A109 (and modern AW109 Power, Grand and GrandNew) is the fast, sleek, retractable- gear light twin that defined Italian corporate-helicopter style — ~150-168 kt cruise, twin-engine redundancy, a refined VIP cabin and the retractable landing gear that sets it apart from most light twins. Produced from the 1970s (A109) through the modern AW109 GrandNew, it's used in corporate/VIP transport, EMS and law enforcement. Fast, good-looking and capable, the 109 competes with the Bell 429 and EC135 — typically with higher cruise speed and the distinctive retractable gear.

Buying a Used Agusta A109
Buying a Agusta A109 centres on its turbine engine(s) — time to overhaul, hot-section history and any engine maintenance program — alongside airframe hours and cycles.
What to check before buying
- Turbine engine status — hot-section and overhaul time, trend monitoring and whether the engine is on a maintenance program.
- Airframe hours & cycles — high-utilisation turboprops accumulate cycles quickly; cycles can matter more than hours.
- Equipment — cargo pod, floats/amphibian gear, de-ice and avionics all affect value.
- Corrosion & logbooks — continuous records and a corrosion inspection, especially on float or marine-operated aircraft.
- Pre-buy inspection — commission an independent pre-buy by a type-experienced shop.
