Sikorsky S92A Helicopter Offshore Operations – Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (HTAWS)

Since 1 January 2025 there has been a requirement that certain Sikorsky S92A helicopters operating under a SPA.HOFO Specific Approval be fitted with HTAWS with enhanced capabilities. Helicopter Operators and the OEM were unable to complete the work to upgrade HTAWS in time to meet that implementation date.

Sikorsky has committed to achieving full compliance for the S92A, including deployment on affected aircraft, by 30 June 2027. Sikorsky letter ref.  CAL-26-5601 dated 16 March 2026 refers.

This General Exemption is to permit continued operation while the upgrade is completed. The work is expected to be completed by 30 June 2027.
