His comments on the Pilots user interface are absolutely spot on; Bell has really hit out of the park with the 505. I remember reading a comment from Hill Helicopters who said helicopter cockpits are agricultural and from the 1950s. The simple fly/Idle switch is genius, and the integration of the Garmin systems is very impressive. The cockpit is beautiful and as an asset for safe flight. It's very daunting for a learner to step into a Eurocopter or AW with a forest of switches and instruments. It's 2023, not 1950. Well done, Bell and good luck, Hill Helicopters.

Thanks for the demo. It looks like a real smooth operation. Your classroom works for me. I see single engine are still real cool to operate. I see no fear factor. 😎

I can't believe that I live just a couple of miles from your home base!!

Great videos HelixAv . I look forward to your next production !

[@RoryOnAir]

She looks like a fabulous machine. I hope to get the chance to fly one at some stage.

Great videos! How about an auto rotation demo and/or full down?

[@mdalamgirhussain7917]

Nice vid!

[@kuyajoli7046]

Can you make a maintenance video like performing pre flight inspection. Thank you

[@helicopterovirtual-msfs6254]

Fantástic 👍

[@user-zc7ym4tl6z]

Make the same video with 407 gxi

[@rigilchrist]

Nicely done, thanks. In term of power, I found that the 206B III I used to fly would be torque-limited if say, taxiing downwind (four up and light on fuel). How would the 505 compare?

[@HelixAvBell]

Hi Bob thanks for your comment, you will find with the 505 that due to the additional power it's nothing like the 206 when taxiing down wind, with the additional power you have so much more available torque so that you don't get anywhere near the limit when taxiing.

Do you not miss the skylights?

[@S1baar]

How does she compare to an EC120B or a. AStar?

[@dcclyde575]

Anyone making plans in their mind to buy one?

[@lenvanover9193]

What is the rotor rpm please ?

คุณทีจ่ายเงินทำประกันสังคมคือคนกลุ่มแรกที่รัฐบาลควรดูแล

คือราคามันอยู่ในกรอบที่งบประมาณจะจัดหาได้ง่าย

[@OAlison]

the audio is horrible, but the content is really good

[@mohammed-hassankhairallaha4736]

What would you estimate the total all in operating cost would be for say 300 hours flight time annual for the Bell 505 ?

[@JohnDoe-mh8tm]

A lot
