Next: Precise Flight Pulselite ®
The system will also be made available by Bell as an aftermarket installation
According to the manufacturer, the Pulselite® system has a direct impact on reducing the number of bird strikes
When enabled, the Pulselite® system alternately pulses the landing and taxi lights to enhance the visibility of the aircraft to traffic and birds
The Precise Flight Pulselite® system will now be included as standard equipment on all new Bell 407GXi purchases that are signed and firmed after January 1st, 2020
