AW139 Castle Air smooth landing, startup and takeoff at London Heliport G-LAWA

The AgustaWestland (now part of Leonardo) AW139 is a 15-seat medium-sized twin-engined helicopter. It has a five-bladed fully articulated main rotor with a titanium hub and composite blades and a four-bladed articulated tail rotor. It is fitted with retractable tricycle landing gear, the two aft wheels retracting into external sponsons which are also used to house emergency equipment.[6] It is flown by a crew of two pilots, with up to 15 passengers accommodated in three rows of five.
G-LAWA was built in 2013 and currently owned by Castle Air Limited.
London Heliport (ICAO: EGLW), previously called Battersea Heliport and currently known officially as the Edmiston London Heliport for sponsorship reasons, is London's only licensed heliport.
The facility opened on 23 April 1959, it is located in Battersea on the south bank of the River Thames a few miles southwest of Westminster Bridge and between Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Railway Bridge. The heliport, once owned by Westland and then Harrods, is a very small site, it provides a helipad for take-off and landing, and onshore parking for three to four aircraft, depending upon their size.
London Heliport has a fully licensed rescue and firefighting service who are on duty for all aircraft movements at the port as well as providing an emergency response to any helicopter incident within the London area.
