Buyer checklist

What to check before you buy a Bell 429

  1. Engines. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207D1 or D2: hours and cycles since new and since overhaul, the engine maintenance programme and the next major event, engine by engine.
  2. Weight approvals. Transport Canada approved an increased weight exemption that the FAA and EASA did not accept. Check which weight approval applies on the registry you plan to use.
  3. Dynamic components. Main gearbox, rotor head, blades and tail rotor: life-limited components and hours remaining. These parts set much of the value.
  4. Role equipment. Interior and kits installed (VIP, EMS, offshore, utility) and whether each kit is approved for the registry you plan to use.
  5. Records. Complete logbooks, airworthiness directives and service bulletins, damage history and the inspection status.
  6. Avionics status. Software standard, autopilot modes and mandates for your region, for example ADS-B Out.
  7. Registration and transition. Plan the certificate of airworthiness and the change of registry early. Compare 21 aircraft registries.
