Hot & High Operations Single Engine Helicopter
HOT AND HIGH OPERATIONS
Bell customers require more from their aircraft and the Bell 407 delivers. The upgraded Rolls-Royce M250-C47B/8 engine in the Bell407 provides more power at hot & high conditions. This provides for significantly more external payload at attitude or a higher hover ceiling for the same gross weight. For example, at 6,000 ft, ISA +20°C the Bell 407 provides 325 lb more payload for external load operations.
With the approval of BHT-407-FMS-12,Hot and High Operations, fleeted Bell 407s equipped with R250-C47 series engines with sufficient power margins, may also take advantage ofthe performance increase. No additional equipment is required for installation.
The capability gained with the Hot and High performance allows for significantly more payload at altitude. Additionally, operators flying at a given gross weight can now hover higher than before.
EXECUTIVE SEATING AND INTERIOR TRIM
The executive cabin seating consists of five‘overstuffed style’ seats with individual seatbelts and single strap shoulder harnesses,arranged with two extra wide forward facing outboard seats and a middle seat for occasional use across the rear of the cabin (with a fold down arm rest between the outboard seats) and two individual rearward facing seats aftof the cockpit. The seats are available in grey, blue & grey, black and tan two-tone leather withcolor coordinated seat belts (crew seat beltsare black). The executive interior trim consists of full plastic closeouts on all airframe areas, fabric covered outboard headliner blankets, andarmrests covered with color coordinated leather.
The flooring is 100% wool cut pile carpet. Selection of the executive interior trim also specifies installation of executive soundproofing, which provides a reduced interior noise level. The executive seating and interior trim (and executive soundproofing) increase the basic aircraft empty weight 21 lb (9 kg).
