Original STC Granted By EASA Earlier This Year
Mecaer Aviation Group (MAG) has successfully validated the Bell 429 VVIP interior with the national civil aviation authority of Brazil, Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (ANAC).
The VVIP luxury interior branded the “MAGnificent” by Italy-based MAG achieved the original Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) with the European Aviation Safety Agency earlier this year and continues to validate with agencies around the world. Brazil is the first of six international validations applied for in 2015.
“There continues to be a strong demand for the Bell 429 in Latin America, and now our customers are really taking notice to MAG’s luxurious cabin interior, as well as the offered noise canceling system,” said Jay Ortiz, Bell Helicopter’s vice president of Latin American sales. “We are proud of this achievement and look forward to delivering this aircraft to our customers.”
Customers can customize the cabin interior of the Bell 429 MAGnificent to a variety of seating configurations, and choose from a wide range of Italian fabrics, colors and optional equipment. MAG’s specialty custom interior incorporates two proprietary products, a passive noise abatement system called SILENS, and an In-Flight Entertainment Enhanced Lounge (I-FEEL), which provides a fully customized interactive touch screen based entertainment, communication and flight information management system.
The Bell 429 is one of the most advanced light twin helicopters ever developed, offering a fully integrated glass cockpit with advanced drive system and best-in-class WAAS navigation and IFR capability. Additional safety features include a collective mounted throttle, damage tolerant hub and rotor system, and energy attenuating seats. It is the first helicopter certified through the MSG-3 process, resulting in reduced maintenance costs for operation.
