Bell Helicopter has achieved Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for several retrofit features through its Aeronautical Accessories subsidiary, adding a list of capabilities for Bell 429 owners. Many of the new features add great safety benefits to the helicopter.
A new Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) system, the FLIR 380-HD, can be added for $9,960, not including installation. The system is mounted under the nose of the Bell 429 and enhances vision at night or in low visibility conditions.
