Xinyu said the Bell 505 has much more power which allows them
to perform their flight missions with more ease.
Captain Zhang Xinyu of Reignwood Star General Aviation explained
the benefits of the Bell 505 for their operations: “The size
of the cockpit of the Bell 505 is leading in its class. Whether you’re
sitting in the front or in the back, everyone has a great view on
board.” In the Bell 505, the rear seats are referred to as stadium
seating as they are six inches higher than the front seats in order
to maximize viewing for every passenger.
In China, the Bell 505 is used for various missions, but the aircraft
is primarily used for tourism missions and flight trainings. Reignwood
Star GA has expanded its business with the use of the Bell
505. In Sanya, Reignwood Star is operating a Bell 505 to carry out
tourism missions and island transport for the Shangri-La Hotel.
With such a mission, guests are whisked away with the ultimate
VIP treatment. Stepping into the 505 and stepping out towards
paradise, the Shangri-La hotel offers an exclusive and comprehensive
experience. A guest can experience the freedom of flight,
overlooking a breathtaking landscape. The opportunities for the
aircraft are endless.
Additionally, he stated that the Bell 505’s dual channel FADEC is
advantageous both for efficiency and economics, and that the Bell
505’s power makes it suitable to perform well in multiple different
missions. With an immense reduction in pilot workload, Zhang
Xinyu can focus his attention on his passengers and their experience,
ensuring an unforgettable voyage and raising safety standards
to the next level.
Further, he explained the benefits of the Garmin G1000H NXi,
which ensures pilots are benefiting from the latest and most comprehensive
technology.
The Garmin G1000H NXi avionics
system incorporated on the Bell 505
is a highly integrated platform. It
provides information to the pilots at
a quick glance which further reduces
workloads for pilots.
The missions don’t stop there. Reignwood also has Bell 505s
across the vast country for other missions. For example, they
conducted dozens of emergency rescue missions in North China.
Captain Zhang Xinyu, pilot of Reignwood Star, once used the Bell
505 in an emergency rescue mission in Panjin, Liaoning province.
Previously, he relied on the Bell 206 for these missions. Zhang
The 505 is the ultimate short light single workhorse, allowing
for a breadth of missions. From business efficiency all the way
to lifesaving missions, the 505 is a reliable and powerful aircraft.
Pilots are put at ease with advanced technological systems and
reliability. Globally, the figures speak for themselves, with the machines
performing a variety of operations for entities and private
individuals.
