Canada approves the Bell 412EPX for flight operations
Bell Textron has received approval from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for the operation of the Subaru Bell 412EPX in Canadian airspace
The TCCA approval will allow the Bell 412EPX helicopter type – a popular choice for special missions such as search and rescue (SAR), firefighting, and law enforcement – to begin flight operations throughout Canada.
The 412EPX has a maximum internal weight of 5,443kg, an external weight of 5,897kg, and the ability to carry 2,268kg with a cargo hook.
“We’re pleased the Subaru Bell 412EPX has received TCCA certification and look forward to growing its presence globally,” said Danny Maldonado, Chief Commercial Officer, Bell. “This aircraft offers superior operational performance and efficiency for our customers while maintaining its long-standing reputation for reliability.”
The announcement follows the receipt of certification for the 412EPX from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in December last year.
