Abstract: We prove a localization theorem for affine $W$-algebras in the spirit of Beilinson--Bernstein and Kashiwara--Tanisaki. More precisely, for any non-critical regular weight $lambda$, we identify $lambda$-monodromic Whittaker $D$-modules on the enhanced affine flag variety with a full subcategory of Category $mathscrO$ for the $W$-algebra. To identify the essential image of our functor, we provide a new realization of Category $mathscrO$ for affine $W$-algebras using Iwahori--Whittaker modules for the corresponding Kac--Moody algebra. Using these methods, we also obtain a new proof of Arakawa's character formulae for simple positive energy representations of the $W$-algebra.
