“The Bell 407GX is one of Bell Helicopter’s newest
versions of the very successful Bell 407 platform, and we are
delighted to have it showcased during ALEA this week,” said
Larry D. Roberts, senior vice president, Commercial Business.
“The Bell 407GX sets the standard for situational
awareness and offers superior performance and enhanced safety
characteristics, which we know is critical for parapublic missions.
Our law enforcement partners will be pleased with this new,
innovative technology that supports their missions,” he
said.
The Bell 407GX with the Garmin G1000HTM glass flight deck
provides critical flight information at a glance for greater
situational awareness, improved operational capability and
increased safety. The advanced cockpit features, as standard, two
10.4” high-resolution LCD displays with an intuitive, easy to
scan layout and an integrated avionics system that presents flight
instrumentation, position, navigation, communication and
identification information. Integrated safety attributes include
Traffic Information System (TIS), HSVT Synthetic Vision Technology,
moving NAV map, Helicopter Terrain Avoidance Warning System (HTAWS)
and range ring. There are also engine and crew alerting systems
including power situation indicator (PSI) and fuel flow, and
automatic power assurance check. The advanced suite also features
critical flight parameter storage on a SD card for post flight
analysis.
