Main Features at a Glance
Integrated Avionics Suite
The Garmin G1000H® NXi integrated avionics suite provides class leading workload reduction and situational awareness. Easy to read primary flight display, EICAS, and multifunction display featuring maps, airport diagrams, terrain, and traffic displays.
Flexible Cabin
Five easily removeable 18.5’’ wide seats, a flat floor with integrated tie downs, and 55’’ wide doors provide the ultimate flexible interior to meet your mission needs.
Intelligent Power
A 505 SHP turbine engine controlled by a dual channel FADEC provides power on demand, limit protection, and automated startup. See why the future is FADEC controlled.
MSG-3 Maintenance
The Bell 505 uses an analytically driven maintenance program championed by major airlines. Reduced downtime, easy access to large panels, and 50% less time spent on maintenance per flight hour compared to the legacy Jet Ranger result in operational savings for you.
Proven Rotor and Drive System
With over 1 million flight hours, the Bell 505 uses the venerable Long Ranger rotor and drive system to maximize reliability and improve auto-rotation characteristics and tail rotor authority.
Certified to the Latest Standards
The Bell 505 is the most recently certified single engine helicopter on the market, meeting the latest standards from the crash resistant fuel system to energy attenuating seating for pilots and passengers.
Kits and Customization
Fly it your way. With loads of kits and custom options, from high skid gear to VIP interiors and custom paint schemes, design the 505 to match your mission.

Versatility
The Bell 505 meets the latest certification standards and combines advanced technologies to reduce pilot workload and increase situational awareness.
Whether taking air to air video, transporting family to your mountain cabin, protecting your city from the sky, or transporting critical patients, the Bell 505 is ready to meet any mission. From the large, configurable open cabin to the external hard points, its easy to see why operators are continually finding new ways to use their 505s.
The only dual-channel FADEC engine in its class, the Safran Arrius 2R engine gives you more power at altitude, better hot and high performance, and superior fuel efficiency- every time you fly.
Fully integrated avionics and a digitally controlled engine provide advanced intelligence for the 21st century aviator. The Power Situation Indicator gives the pilot an easy-to-read engine parameter read out while the multi-function display shows traffic, terrain, airspace and real time range rings.
