New Bell 505 Demonstrator for the UK & Ireland

We are excited to show our new Bell 505 Demonstrator for the UK & Ireland. 

This 505 benefits from an extensive list of options including the HeliSAS 2-axis autopilot. This is an excellent feature especially for increased pilot comfort over long distances and decreased pilot workload. The 2-Axis version includes pitch control (altitude hold, IAS Hold) and roll control (HDG hold, NAV, vertical navigation mode), and provides assistance in the event of inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Conditions. 

Now standard on all factory new 505s, the aircraft is integrated with a fully glass Garmin NXi screens. The avionics suite provides best-in-class workload reduction and situational awareness with terrain information in an easy-to-read format. With the latest NXi screens and dual-channel FADEC controlled engine, it is the most advanced short light single engine in its class.  

Another excellent feature on the demo ship is the Flightstream 510, allowing flight plans to be transferred from your iPad via Bluetooth directly to the aircraft.

The aircraft is presented in a beautiful Purple, with Silver dynamic stripe and grey leather interior. We are looking forward to showcasing our new 505 and its capabilities on demos and events around the country.

Genesys HeliSAS 2-Axis Autopilot
