7,500 lb (3,402 kg) <strong>Inc</strong>reased InternalGross Weight Configuration<strong>Bell</strong> <strong>429</strong> Maintenance ProgramDesigned through Maintenance Steering Group - 3 (MSG-3)<strong>Bell</strong> Helicopter understands the importance of aircraft reliability to meet your mission needs. That’s why ourmaintenance philosophy is to streamline maintenance requirements to ensure low direct operating costs, lowdirect maintenance costs, and improved reliability by utilizing the Maintenance Steering Group – 3 (MSG-3)while increasing occupant safety.The <strong>Bell</strong> <strong>429</strong> is the first rotorcraft designed through the MSG-3 in the creation of a maintenance schedule on acommercial helicopter with the support of the Aviation authorities, mainly Transport Canada (TC), the FederalAviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).During the Customer Maintenance Advisory Panel (CMAP) meetings, the team analyzed every aircraftsystem, including airframe structure and wiring installation, to determine the failure modes, their criticality,the ease of detection, the level of inspection required and the ideal recurrence of inspection. This is wherethe varied experience of the team came in to play; Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME) / Airframe & PowerPlant (A&P) technicians also provided input as to the system detailed functions and used their many yearsof experience in aircraft operation, respectively. From this resulted a maintenance schedule that requires35% less maintenance man hours versus a comparable aircraft, thus improving the cost of ownership for the<strong>Bell</strong> <strong>429</strong>.The following are excellent features derived through MSG-3 for the <strong>Bell</strong> <strong>429</strong>:••Approved Maintenance Program (TC)--First rotorcraft to use the MSG-3 Process••Certification through MSG-3 Process--Same process used by commercial airlines to ensure continued airworthiness--Determines how and when maintenance will be performed--Helicopter designed and built for maintenance••Accessible panels to aircraft systems••Maintenance Program--Task Intervals* Every 200 hours* 800 hours/12 month* Zonal InspectionProgram introduced--Life Limited Parts* CompositeComponents –On Condition* Metallic Components –10,000 + hours (Goal)* ElastomericComponents – 5000hours<strong>Bell</strong> <strong>429</strong> <strong>Product</strong> Specification - 7,500 lb IGW 41 © 2012 <strong>Bell</strong> Helicopter Textron <strong>Inc</strong>.January 2012
