“This is an important milestone for Bell Helicopter, and we are proud to deliver four Bell 412EPs to improve the safety and security of Argentinean citizens,” said Jay Ortiz, vice president, Latin America. “The Bell 412 is known for its reliable performance under the most extreme circumstances and is the choice aircraft to support the missions of the Government of Argentina.”
The Bell 412EP possesses a dual digital automatic flight-control system with available IFR option and Category A/JAR OPS 3 capability, which provides greater control and improved situational awareness. With a cruise speed of 122 knots (140 miles per hour), a range of 357 nautical miles, and an expansive cabin easily accommodating 13 passengers and two crew members, the Bell 412EP is capable of fitting multiple mission criteria. |
