  • Bell 505 Jet Ranger X
    PILOT REPORT Bell 505 Jet Ranger X 505 single improves on the 206’s legacy by Alexa Rexroth In mid-January, 20-degree temperatures in Texas coupled with substantial wind gusts and the threat of snow almost placed me directly in the right seat of a Bell 505 simulator instead of the real helicopter. But with conditions improving upon my arrival at Bell’s Fort Worth, Texas factory, it was announced, with great relief to me, that the flight in Bell’s 505 Jet Ranger X would take place as planned. www.ainonline.com/order-reprints Championed by Bell as the most advanced light single in the market, the 505 Jet Ranger X offers first-in-class features including a dual-channel Fadec and fully integrated Garmin G1000H flight deck. Designed to echo the storied career of the B206-series JetRanger while advancing its class’s legacy into the future, the 505 is suitable for utility, corporate, parapub- lic, and training mission profiles. Bell is working on utility options for the 505 and expects to certify a cargo hook later this year. With commercial deliveries continuing to climb along with letters of intent, the heli- copter is retaining its welcomed entrance into the market. © 2018 AIN Publications. All rights reserved.

The large size and im- personal nature of Farnborough and its ilk are the main spur for the niche air events – not always shows – including PAvCon, NBAA and Heli-Expo. Visitors are drawn to see displays covering nearly 3,500 square meters from hundreds of international companies housed under cover in a number of vast halls and chalets con- structed at great expense – others being left to the vagaries of the weather without cover or in their own tents and caravans. And this year the vagaries were decidedly nasty as Britain endured the worst summer in living memory. The poor weather clearly affected visitor num- bers early in the week. As the browned grass testifies, Farnborough 2010 was a far drier affair than this year. © Aviation-images.com via FI2012 Front Cover Image: The Bell 525 Relentless has ‘Oil Industry’ written all over it and it may never feature as an emergency services aircraft. That said it has features that could one day appear more widely—including the pilots seats.
