IFR Certified Bell 407 GXi Demo
This video will highlight the changes made to the Bell 407 GXi when the IFR supplemental type certificate is applied to the aircraft. We also demonstrate the IFR capabilities by flying an IFR approach.

This is a short flyby of SureFlight's Paint Facility. Shown are three Sikorsky S-76D's, two AgustaWestland AW139's, one Bell 206 L3 JetRanger, and one Sikorsky S-76B. www.sureflight.com Royalty Free Soundtrack: Music for Manatees Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
Excellent! The 505 is an fantastic aircraft but the interior is inferior to the French alternatives. You've closed the gap, well done!
Great vid and SWEET heli and upgrades. Is that heli single pilot rated or dual?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE DOME ON TOP OF THE MAIN ROTER IS FOR? THANK YOU. JOHN.
How much all of this cost ?
What a kick ass job
I JUST LOVE THIS EXACT BELL 407, THERE BEAUTIFUL.!!! MAYBE SOME DAY , I WILL BUY ONE..
Any additional inspection requirements for these kits?
💎🇵🇭🇸🇦🇰🇮
Fantástic 👍
I always wondered why bell lost the AHTS contract to the agusta 119 ifr variant.
That’s definitely a gentleman’s helicopter. Well done!
So smooth and quiet and good looking too, but I don’t think that I would like constantly fiddling with all the little knobs and switches while flying.
I am from Harrisburg; my Father was Mayor of Wormleysburg for 12 years. I anticipate flying my Heli over the area soon. Great video, thanks for sharing!
I would have loved to have that auto drive when I was an active pilot. I flew the 407 in 2005 last time. I retired in 2010. Miss helicopters a little, but I'm happy to be retired. Thanks for the video.
awesome video!!!
That's some jaw dropping work right there. amazing job !
Awesome video!
Well Done
Really gonna benefit the aeromedical world
I am very very impressed with this video the 407 is one of my favorite helicopters I'm not a pilot but I always wanted to learn how to fly helicopters. That thing is so quiet and the vibration is pretty much none thank you for sharing totally awesome man I'm just swept off of my feet love this video thank you.
ว่าแบบบินได้นี่ยังไม่พร้อมสำหรับดาวอังคารหรอกต้องเฮลิคอปเตอร์
That blue colour (as seen in the hangar, not the paint shop) is very striking. If I had a helicopter, that’s the exact same shade of blue that I would opt for.
When I hit the lottery I want 1 of these and a tbm 950.
Well, it can’t be IFR certified as it doesn’t have the requisite number of engines.
The requisite number of engines is one, and without it, it won’t even fly VFR.
As a zero time observer…I must compliment your video as being extremely informative. I greatly appreciate riding along w/you. Thanks
What is the value of such a machine? will be ideal for me: me, wife, son and daughter. could you please let me know. att: Wilson
Stunning guys you have done an awesome job , interior exterior just fabulous. Videography as well great . Only query whether the Cabin heating and AC system could not be installed in the Bell factory ? Keep it up
Thank you for the compliments. The Heater and the AC is an option that could be done at the factory. We did all the options we could do because we did it for less cost.
Amazing work man. Just nailed it
A true work of art! Wow!
Owen, thank you for producing this highly informative video! Are single engine turbine, IFR certified, helicopters required to have redundant hydraulic sources and/or twin tube hydraulic servo actuators? Or, are single tube servos with backup accumulators sufficient? I've read comments from pilots who believe the H125B3e is the ultimate single engine turbine, because of its redundant hydraulics. After close examination, I see that it has two hydraulic sources which power separate/ isolated portions of the flight control system. No cross feeding of hydraulic pressure is available. The redundancy is in twin tube servos for each of the control links on the lower swashplate. What's up with the 407?? Thanks Again. I look forward to more videos on your projects and that sweet Mooney.
I think single tube without backup accumulators is sufficient since the 407 doesn't have dual hydraulics, and as far as i know, it doesn't have accumulators either. What it does have is a set of springs installed parallel to the cyclic and collective actuation tubes in order to assist the pilot with the increased feedback forces in case of a hydraulic loss scenario and check valves in the actuators so as to not lose all it's hydraulic fluid on its internal spool valve and still actuating the hyd. piston without boost.
@@GabrielRzrO1 Thanks for the reply, Gabriel!
"Click the Bell" ...Oh, you mean the button not the aircraft.
Sweet. When I buy mine I will involve you. Good work. Very nice.
It is interesting to see this done.
This is all very cool.
awesome!!
Are passanger seats energy absorbing/ crash resistant
No. Only the newest type certificated aircraft have this. On helicopters with the skids, the skids are designed to deform to absorb crash impact forces.
@@sureflightllc OK, thanks. So is Bell 505 better at crash resistance ????
😢😢😭😭😭😭🚁🇧🇷
Never thought I could get so excited about a headliner, great job.
total price for the GT Package?
May boss, have one, red ,Bell 407 GXi, in Ecuator sud america
I'm remanufacturing the Alouette III.... Can you get me design ideas please?
I'm all set to receive delivery of this model in 3 weeks and I'm stoked!! Damn, just forgot I'm not a multimillionaire.
I simply love them, mine was a 206, good job 🍺
That was awesome
About how much does this helicopter weigh? What does the IFR STC add, weight-wise?
And to think I took Hueys fully IFR , hours at a time, hundreds of miles, at around 10,000 feet both at Rucker and Germany in the 80s with NONE of that stuff...
I bet you have some gray hair!
Ooh, go you for doing your job. Weak weenie pilot flex from a grunt; likely speaking for Grunts who got see what good pilots do, and what good pilots don't do. Flexing and being a little weenie ain't one of em.
Frekin gorgeous! Now I know where my lotto money is going.
From a reliability perspective, how does this stack up to the R66?
I’d love to own that helicopter. As a helicopter pilot, I’ve only flown VFR Helicopters so having that IFR capability opens up a lot of doors. I can take that for cross country trips without worrying about being stuck somewhere due to low ceiling.
$400K upgrade??
Not a fan of IFR helicopters. We all know what that worked out for Kobe.
This is analogous to saying you are not a fan of a Genesis GV80 because we all know how that worked out for Tiger. Just like Tiger Woods can drive his car off a cliff, Kobe’s pilot can fly his helicopter into a cliff. It is true that the S-76 was IFR capable, however, Kobe’s pilot was not flying IFR. The charter operator was certified to operate under VFR only and was not permitted to carry passengers IFR. Flying IFR requires advanced planning including obtaining all necessary information including NOTAMS, weather reports at the departure, enroute, and destination, fuel requirements, required altitudes to keep you clear from terrain, etc. IFR requires filing a flight plan with ATC, receiving a clearance from ATC to fly a specific route and a specific altitude that keeps you clear of terrain. Kobe’s pilot did none of this. He was not flying IFR. What Kobe’s pilot did was fly a helicopter on a VFR flight inadvertently into IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) and then crashed the helicopter into terrain.
Perfectly said!
