AEM’s MTP138 VHF FM and MTP136D P25 radios are now easier for Leonardo AW139 operators to install. AEM has expanded its Transport Canada Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SH25-17 to include both AW139 and AB139 aircraft, making fleet radio upgrades simpler for these airframe operators.

“The AW139 serves a broad range of critical missions around the world, particularly in offshore transport, utility operations, and search and rescue applications in Europe,” said Tony Weller, Sales & Marketing Director at AEM. “Expanding airframe coverage on this STC helps operators quickly modernise their fleets using the industry’s most easy-to-use and reliable radio technology.”

AEM continues to add to its radio STCs and is currently pursuing EASA and FAA familiarisation and validation for the MTP138 and MTP136D to support its European and global customer base.

The MTP138 is an advanced VHF FM radio for analogue channels across the 138MHz to 174MHz frequency band, while the MTP136D P25 radio supports digital and analogue communication across the 136MHz to 174MHz band. Both radios ship with NVIS as standard and are designed as straightforward replacements for existing legacy radios, for tactical mission use and fleet upgrades.
