Good morning, kindly link me up to the Bell 427 helicopter you are talking of. Hopefully,he has all necessary endorsement in his EASA licence to instruct on Bell 427.

Have you found anyone in Europe or a way to get 427 rating/training that is easa approved

Did you try http://HeliteamSued in the south of Germany? I know, they operate a B427, so they should at least know someone who can train you.

PM me and I can put you in touch with him.

Slightly more than a 2-engine 407....

But the 427's downfall was lack of IFR capability and cabin just a bit too small to fit an EMS litter. A few operators did EMS work with a diagonally-mounted litter, but most went to other aircraft.

You could try Stephen Boyce at Oceania Aviation in Auckland. I think hes rated in everything under the sun, and has flown in Canada, so if he can't do it he might know someone that could help.

OK I will.thanx

Thanx Spunk.will try that as well.

Initial training Bell 427
 

My company bought a used Bell 427 .I finished my initial training, both ground as well as flying, with M/s Heliteam Sud, Germany. Captain Peter Thoma heads this EASA approved ATO and I had a fantastic and very educative training on the Bell 427. In case anyone is interested you may message me, I can give his number.

Yeah, I could fly an R22, a bell 206, even a bell 427 (despite having never flown one before) but I could no longer fly an R44 (despite having 100 hours in them) because my R44 BFR had expired.

I hate SFAR 73!
