Bell Helicopter's affiliate, Aeronautical Accessories Inc., has received STC certification, STC number SR09376RC-D, for the Hi-Visibility modification on the 407 passenger and litter doors. Bell notes that the 407 is used by many law enforcement agencies from the federal to the local level to accomplish their vital mission. The speed, reliability and now the visibility make the 407 'an ideal platform for all types of law enforcement agencies.'

Speaking about the new STC certification, Bell Chief Executive Officer Michael Redenbaugh said, "Once again we have listened to the voice of our customer. In surveys and research we conducted we received numerous favorable responses to the 407 Hi-Visibility doors from owners and operators and we responded. Now that same enhanced visibility option can be added to all 407 owner/operators passenger and litter doors."

Officials from Aeronautical Accessories added that in addition to law enforcement the kit is ideal for tourism, corporate, and any other application where enhanced visibility is desirable.
