FAA Approves Enhanced 412EPI Capabilities

Now Certified For Operation In New Category A

The FAA has certified the Bell 412EPI for Category A (CAT A) operations. The new CAT A backup procedure provides a significant increase in payload, performance and operational versatility.

The alternate backup procedure for the Bell 412EPI provides improved takeoff capability with increased payload by up to 640 lbs. in standard conditions, while decreasing the required minimum helipad size to 60 feet in diameter.

“The Bell 412EPI is a highly reliable and versatile aircraft, and the CAT A certification enhancement only increases the superior safety capabilities of the aircraft,” said Chad Sparks, program director, Bell 412. “When we look at the industry's future needs the biggest one is safety, so we’re listening and looking to meet and exceed those needs to maximize efficiency and improve safety.”

“We continue to make investments in our modern commercial product line, and we are proud to support our customer’s missions,” added Sparks.
