INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES CONFIGURATIONS
The Bell 430 is FAA certificated for operation under IFR conditions, when equipped
with an automatic flight control system / autopilot and the appropriate communication
and navigation avionics. Configurations are available for dual pilot operation, with a
SINGLE AFCS,either
with or without a flight director , or single & dual pilot operation,
with a DUAL AFCS, with a flight director . PLEASE NOTE! All Flight Director
configurations require EFIS and Radar Altimeter.
The number of crew members and systems/equipment requirements for IFR flight are
governed by aircraft seating capacity, the type of operation (i.e.; Part 135-Air Taxi/
Charter; Part 91-General Aviation [Corporate/Private]), and in some cases impose the
addition of specific equipment (i.e.; Cockpit Voice Recorder, Flight Data Recorders,
and Emergency Locators, etc.).
The following factory configurations address the
majority of IFR applications in the
FAA airspace environment.
Equipment included in each configuration and installed weights (which is variable
depending on E/M Instruments or Flight Director/EFIS configuration) may be found in
the tables which follow. Additional IFR configurations are available as
CUSTOMIZING
and can be developed to meet individual customer requirements.
