What’s New
HOT AND HIGH OPERATIONS

Bell Helicopter customers require more from their aircraft and the Bell 206L4 delivers. With the approval
of BHT-206-FMS-15, Hot and High Operations, new and fleeted Bell 206L4s may take advantage of the
performance increase provided by this Flight Manual Supplement as long as the engine passes the power
assurance check requirements in FMS-15. No additional equipment is required. The capability gained with
the Hot and High performance charts allows for significantly more payload at altitude. Additionally, operators
flying at a given gross weight can now hover higher than before.
POLYCARBONATE WINDSHIELD
A polycarbonate windshield offers enhanced bird strike resistance compare to the standard acrylic windshield.
The same polycarbonate windshield technology that has been proven on other Bell models is now available
on the 206L4 as a customizing option on new aircraft as well as a replacement windshield option for fielded
aircraft.

Seating and Interiors
CREW SEATING
Two individual ergonomically designed seats with adjustable lumbar support, each equipped with seat belt,
double strap shoulder harness and inertia reel, are located in the cockpit. The color and upholstery material for
the seats, and interior trim of the cockpit match that which is selected for the cabin. The seat belts are black.
STANDARD SEATING AND INTERIOR TRIM

The standard cabin seating consists of five ergonomically designed seats with individual seat belts and single
strap shoulder harness, arranged with three equal width forward facing seats across the rear of the cabin and
two individual rearward facing seats aft of the cockpit. Available with grey, blue, black, or tan upholstery with
black seat belts. The Standard Seats are upholstered in fabric. All vinyl, or fabric/vinyl is available as an extra
cost option. The standard interior trim consists of full plastic closeouts on all airframe areas, vinyl covered arm
rests, and molded plastic outboard headliners. The floor is covered in low loop blend carpet. The standard

HEMS
When lives are at stake, every second counts. The design of the Bell 206L4 ensures that you don’t waste a
single one. The 61-inch bifold door allows for quick and easy patient loading and unloading. The extra-large
cabin windows provide for exceptional visibility to make difficult scene landings a lot less difficult. Safety
features include rupture-resistant fuel cells, upper body restraints, energy absorbing seats, and a collective
mounted throttle. The Rolls-Royce 250-C30P turbine engine, with over 150 million flight hours, provides the
most important feature of all: Reliability.

Cost of Operations
INTRODUCTION
Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. cost of operations data for current production helicopters is based on information from Bell
helicopter operators and service facilities. BHTI’s 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 and product improvements to enable annual
updates of the data to maintain its currency. The following discussion is provided to review the variables
involved in the helicopter’s 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:
yy Fuel, Lubricants
yy Basic Airframe Maintenance
yy Powerplant Maintenance
The indirect costs are not directly dependent upon the number of hours flown and include:
yy Insurance
yy Facilities (hangar, workshop, etc.)
yy Crew Compensation
yy 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.
DIRECT COSTS
Fuel, A typical average value of fuel and lubricant costs is included in the sample data provided
Lubricants for each model. Fuel consumption depends upon speed, temperature, externally-mounted
accessories, sling loads, etc. A band of approximately 10% more or less than sample value will
cover these factors for normal operations. Fuel pricing varies considerably based on where
the fuel is purchased geographically and whether it is purchased retail or in bulk. The sample
cases use average retail purchase price prevalent at the time of the sample data are prepared.
Basic Airframe Airframe maintenance is divided into four categories:
Maintenance yy Periodic Inspections
yy Overhauls
yy Replacement of Retirement Parts
yy 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.

February 2017
Cost of Operations
DIRECT COSTS
Basic Airframe Overhauls include removal, disassembly, inspection, parts replacement, reassembly and
Maintenance reinstallation of certain components/assemblies at the periods stated in the BHTI Maintenance
(continued) Manual. Overhaul man hour and parts requirements are subject to considerable variation
depending upon the helicopter’s operations and environments. The sample data reflect
average values.
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.
On-condition/Unscheduled maintenance encompasses labor and parts replacement for major
maintenance not covered under the formal Maintenance Manual requirements for scheduled
part retirements, periodic 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 The powerplant (engine) requires periodic inspection and overhauls. The overhaul periods are
Maintenance 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 engine’s 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).

Cost of Operations
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 The number of aircrew personnel depends on the individual operation; i.e., whether the normal
Compensation crew consists of one or two pilots, hours per day flown, backup requirements for illness,

Training
GENERAL INFORMATION
The operator and maintenance training provided by BTA establishes a foundation that supports mission tasks
with aircraft pilot qualification.
Pilot Operator Training: Our pilot training program includes basic academics and initial flight training. All
training is conducted by certified Bell Helicopter instructor pilots.
Maintenance Technician Training: Experience is important, however, instruction received in the classroom
and training lab provides an undeniable enhancement. Facilitating more efficient maintenance manpower and
improving logistics supportability ensures that the customer’s Bell helicopter is operational and maintainable
in all types of climate and terrain.
Academic training includes both state-of-the-art instructor-led computer presentations and hands-on
maintenance training. Mechanical, electrical, and avionics training takes place in a temperature controlled
shop and will include use of composite maintenance trainers. The BTA also has operational cutaway mockups,
a composite repair room, an electrical/avionics lab, and a Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) room. Over half
of the maintenance training is hands-on, skill enhancing, and performance focused instruction. Training is
determined complete, as defined by Bell Helicopter, after each student demonstrates an ability to perform to
the course standards for actual maintenance and operation of the equipment referencing technical manuals.
Training Aircraft: The Bell Helicopter Training Academy conducts flight training in Bell Helicopter OEM-
owned or newly delivered customer aircraft.
Training Materials and Language: Bell Helicopter provides each maintenance and pilot training candidate
a hard-copy course notebook in the English language for each course conducted by BTA instructor personnel.
The training materials will be sufficient to train maintenance technicians and pilots who meet the course
prerequisites in the maintenance and operation of the applicable model helicopters. Course instructional
electronic media, syllabi, course outlines, and company intellectual property will be considered non-deliverables.
Training Technology: Bell Helicopter is leading the industry in its use of engineering technology to more
effectively teach pilots and maintainers around the world. The use of 3-D rendered, high-fidelity, interactive
graphics provide students an authentic representation of each component. Smart Board technology allows for
independent media manipulations such as assembly and disassembly of system subassemblies and replication
maintenance actions without leaving the classroom. The adoption of 3-D modeling of aircraft components and
system assemblies has greatly improved training efficiency by enhancing student retention.
Student Registration: The customer is responsible for submitting an enrollment request for each training
candidate via Bell Helicopter’s on-line registration process at http://www.bh.com/Training. It is encouraged that
all training be scheduled at least ninety (90) days prior to the start of each established course date to ensure
space and instructor availability.
Trainee Visas: Applying for and receiving a visa for students in a timely manner is the responsibility of the
customer. To ensure timely approvals, students must register early.
Trainee Expenses: Arrangements and expenses associated with air travel, ground transportation (car rental/
taxi), meals, and lodging for each designated trainee will be the responsibility of the customer.
