Bell Reduce 206 and 505 Operating Costs

The latest announcement from Bell is one that should put a smile on a number of faces.

The tension-torsion (TT) straps for the Bell 206 and 505 aircraft (part series 206-310-004) are now certified for 48 months or 1200 flight hours total, whichever comes first.  

For operators who fly less than 300 hours per year, this change provides an additional 12 months resulting in a significant reduction in direct operating costs. 

With over ninety 206 and 505 types in New Zealand and more than 270 in Australia, we expect operators and accountants alike will be happy about this announcement.
