Buying a Used Agusta AW109 Trekker

Buying a Agusta AW109 Trekker 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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Agusta AW109 Trekker

What makes the Leonardo AW109 Trekker different from the AW109 GrandNew?
The Trekker replaces retractable gear with fixed skids, uses Genesys avionics instead of the premium Honeywell suite, and has a simpler interior — saving nearly $3M off the GrandNew price. Performance and engines (twin PW207C with FADEC) are identical. For utility, law enforcement, and EMS missions, the Trekker offers AW109 speed and capability at a lower entry point.
What are the operating costs of the AW109 Trekker?
The Trekker falls between light singles (R66, H125) and larger twins (AW139) in operating cost. Twin-engine safety with 168-knot cruise makes it one of the fastest helicopters in its class. The 30-minute run-dry gearbox and crash-resistant fuel system add safety margins. FADEC-equipped engines reduce pilot workload and hot start risk.
Is the AW109 Trekker suitable for private owners?
The Trekker was designed for professional operators (law enforcement, EMS, corporate). For private owners, the twin-engine cost structure ($2,000+ per hour) is significantly higher than single-engine alternatives. However, if twin-engine safety is a priority and you fly 200+ hours annually, the Trekker offers Italian build quality and performance at a lower price than the GrandNew.
