Main Features At a Glance
IMPROVED AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE
The SUBARU BELL 412EPX provides more capability while maintaining its reputation of reliability for operators. The 412EPX benefits from a more robust main rotor gearbox, dry run capability, and increased internal maximum gross weight. Combined with an upgraded external gross weight, the 412EPX allows aviators to achieve better operational efficiency.
Transmission Upgrade
The 412EPX features a certified 30-mins run-dry transmission with additional hover capability, improved lubricant containment, and higher mast assembly durability built with laser peening manufacturing technology. Just one of the many upgrades featured on the 412EPX.
State-Of-The-Art Avionics
The 2nd Generation Bell BasiX-Pro™ integrated glass cockpit system has integrated performance calculations for access to critical flight parameters features at your fingertips. This system is complete with 4 large-screen, high resolution multi-function displays that provide EFIS, EICAS, and systems display along with full screen video. The aircraft is IFR capable for single-pilot navigation and comes with Bell’s patented Power Situation Indicator (PSI) presentation which helps to reduce pilot workload.
Pratt & Whitney PT6T-9 Twin PAC® Engines
These electronically-controlled engines contribute to a 15% increase in hot day take-off power as well as improved HOGE, CAT-A, and PC-2e performance. With a 30-second and 2-minute OEI rating structure with automatic limiting and OEI training mode, these engines will help elevate your experience.
