Hover Performance with above Minimum Specification Power

At the customers request, Bell now provides the Bell 407 / Bell 407GX with additional FAA certified hover
capability for both in ground effect and out of ground effect for above minimum specification (min-spec)
engines. This additional capability is provide through STC NO. SR09531RC-D, with no changes required for
aircraft or engine hardware or software, except for an instrument panel placard regarding generator load
limits. Flight Manual Supplement 407, Improved Hover Performance with Above Minimum Specification
Power, which is available to Bell Model 407 owners and operators through the Bell Helicopter Electronic
Commercial Technical Publications website, provides detailed information about the operating requirements
and improved performance capabilities. The FMS has been validated by Transport Canada, and EASA
validation is pending.
Improved hover performance charts provided in the FMS apply to both internal and external load operations
with appropriate Area B wind limitations to assure tail rotor controllability. The tables below detail the
available hover capability for standard maximum gross weight of the 407 for various plus powers. The
generator has a 50A restriction for hover, takeoff and landing with improved hover performance charts.
With use of the above minimum specification engine, power assurance checks must be accomplished daily
as described in the Flight Manual Supplement. The available engine plus power margin is determined by a
rolling average of ten (10) power assurance checks.

This data is provided to assist planning of operations where fast cruise speed is desired, but the
continuous operation limits of 93.5% Torque and / or 727 C engine MGT are observed. The maximum
attainable fast cruise speed will be determined by specific engine health (power assurance), and
operational limit (torque,
MGT, NG or V NE , whichever occurs first).
Plus engine percent can be determined during the engine power assurance check by setting the mgt and
recording torque. The difference between the recorded torque and the minimum chart value is the plus
percent factor.

Cost of Operations
Introductio
n
Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. cost of operations data for current production
helicopters is based on information from Bell operators and service
facilities. BHTIs Product Support organization accumulates cost data
from a diverse group of operators - large, small; sub-polar, subtropical;
inland, coastal; corporate, charter. This information is analyzed to
generate sample data for each production model which are averages of
the field experience. BHTI intends to continue monitoring actual costs to
enable annual updates of the data to maintain its currency.
The following discussion is provided to review the variables involved
in the helicopters direct and indirect cost of operations as well as its
cost of ownership.
The total cost of helicopter ownership and operation involves both direct
and indirect costs. The direct costs are those which are incurred
essentially by the flight hour and include:
Fuel, Lubricants
Basic Airframe Maintenance

Powerplant Maintenance
The indirect costs are not directly dependent upon the number of hours
flown and include:
Insurance
Facilities (hangar, workshop, etc.)

Crew Compensation
Financial Factors (depreciation, investment tax credit, financing
costs, etc.)
Sample direct operating cost data is available for each current
production model. Detailed estimates for total costs relating to specific
operations are available through the BHTI regional marketing manager or
corporate office using input data supplied by customer/prospect.

Unscheduled
Periodic inspections include those inspection tasks, with their part

requirements, listed in the Maintenance Manual for each model. Man
hours for periodic inspections can vary from the sample value provided
because of differences in personal experience, tool and parts availability,
facilities, environmental effects such as extremes in working
temperatures. Man hour costs/hour are also variable among the
Authorized Service Centers as a result of differences in local costs,
overhead expenses and volume of work. The sample value is an
average of costs per hour at Authorized Service Centers at the time of
publication.

Periodic Inspections
Overhauls include removal, disassembly, inspection, parts replacement,

reassembly and reinstallation of certain components/assemblies at the
periods stated in the BHTI Maintenance Manual. Overhaul man hour and
parts requirements are subject to considerable variation depending upon
the helicopters operations and environments. The sample data reflect
average values.
41
Retirement parts are those which are subject to disposal after an operating time stated in the Maintenance
Manual. These are normally components of the rotors/control systems which are subject to oscillatory loads and are
designed and tested for use over a finite number of flight hours rather than on their condition. The replacement at the
required intervals requires some labor which is included in the man hour data in the sample.
Unscheduled maintenance encompasses labor and parts replacement for major maintenance not covered under the
formal Maintenance Manual requirements for inspections and overhauls. It also includes those additional maintenance
requirements imposed by the manufacturer through issue of Service Bulletins.
The sample data for periodic inspections provide for some minor unscheduled maintenance tasks resulting from the
inspection.
Powerplant Maintenance
The powerplant (engine [s]) requires periodic inspection and overhauls. The overhaul periods are based on the
number of operating hours or on the number of cycles, whichever is the first limit to be attained. Start cycles are a
factor because thermal cycles are important in the design of the turbine engines rotating components. Overhauls are
performed by the engine manufacturer and/or at authorized facilities. Powerplant overhaul can be performed for the
engine as a unit, or in some cases for individual modules. (Modules can be gearbox, compressor, turbine, for example.)
Each module can have its own overhaul period. Modular overhaul can be cost-effective for some operations and its
use should be evaluated. Engine or module exchanges can be made in lieu of overhaul. For details, contact the
engine manufacturer or his authorized distributors/service centers. The sample costs are based on an average
exchange. The powerplant may also require unscheduled maintenance (unscheduled removals for repair, parts
replacement).
Indirect Costs
Insurance:
Insurance rates are based on a number of factors including claim experience, type of
operations, and crew qualifications. Rates can be obtained from insurance agent/broker.
Facilities:
Facilities can include hangar, workshop, parts storage area, tools, ground support
equipment and administrative area as appropriate to the specific operation.
Crew Compensation: The number of aircrew personnel depends on the individual operation; i.e., whether the
normal crew consists of one or two pilots, hours per day flown, backup requirements for
illness, vacation, etc. Bell regional marketing managers can advise typical local costs for
estimation purposes.
Financial Factors:
Funding a helicopter purchase can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including cash,

short term note, long term note, partnership, etc. For investment accounting, several
depreciation methods also exist; straight line, double declining, sum of the years digits,
etc. Value of resale is a significant factor.
Miscellaneous Factors: Staff expenses (other than aircrew and direct maintenance personnel), utilities, office
expenses, etc.
Ownership Analysis Program
Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. uses the most recently published edition of the Life Cycle Cost computer program provided
by Conklin & de Decker Associates, Inc. to determine ownership costs for an operators planned period of utilization for
the aircraft. Conklins Rotorcraft Analysis Office may be contacted at: Phone; (817) 277-6403 or Fax; (817) 277-6402.
Bells regional marketing managers or corporate office personnel will be able to assist in preparing an ownership
analysis which is customized for our customers specific individual conditions and needs.
