Checklist
BASED AT Al Ain International Airport, UAE, EDIC Horizon International Flight Academy has placed an order with Bell Helicopter for two
Bell 429 twin-engine helicopters to boost its all-Bell fleet which utilizes its aircraft to provide unparalleled flight training to a variety
of international students. The Bell 429 will be utilized for ATP, Instrument, multi-engine and specialised mission training. “With the
lowest vibrations in its class, the Bell 429 meets or exceeds today’s airworthiness requirements to enhance occupant safety, with the
adaptability to remain at the forefront as mission needs evolve. The use of metallic and composite parts in its construction creates the
perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility, safety and durability.”
THE ORIGINAL
Many claim originality, but there is always only one true pioneer. In designing the PC-12
our objective was to create the world’s most versatile, high performance, efficient and
safe aircraft and back it up with the highest level of service. Today, with over 1,500 aircraft
in operation, our commitment is just as strong as when the first PC-12 was delivered.
At Pilatus, we succeed by helping our customers succeed. How’s that for an original idea?
Step up to the “Pilatus Class” now.
