Bell 412 FADEC

I compeletly confirm that Turkish Coast Guard (TCG) and Saudi Arabia Air Force (RSAF) operate 412 equipped with EEC controlled -9 engines, fully digital Glass Cockpit (Rogerson Kratos) and 4-Axis Autopilot.

This presents totaly different performanse. We have been operating Agusta production 14 AB 412 EP (EEC Version) in Turkey fully satisfied and I suppose 20 Bell productions in Saudia and 6 are under production in Bell for Bahrain.

I don't know why Bell does not convert 412 EPs to 412 EEC versions... I'm sure it will widely accepted in market will help Bell to compete with AW 139, EC175 and S76++ . Agusta cancelled 412 production line and focused on its own productions..

If any of Bell authorities read this I strongly recommend him to work on Bell 412 FADEC, +, EEC whatever you name it. It's is modern workhorse.

I may help for any technical specification details to anyone who may interest in..
