As far as I'm aware, the 412 ASAR is being actively "peddled" but to governments, and without civil certification. A bunch of them are already delivered and in service. The ASAR 412-EP was developed with FAA certification in mind, and up until a year-and-a-half ago, there were plans to get the glass cockpit and FADEC engines part of it ceritifed in the basic aircraft. That effort was stopped because the "crystal ball gazers" predicted this big drop off in commercial 412-EP sales. They figured it wasn't worth the investment.

If 412-EP sales are drying up, you sure couldn't tell. Whether that will help the Bell powers to reopen the issue?... maybe?... I sure wish.

You gonna sue them if they go back on their announcement??
