Welcome to Vertical MRO Alerts, presented by Bell!
In this Alert, Product Support Engineering (PSE) Manager Marc Dubé is joined by Gilbert Gaudreault, 407 PSE Lead, to discuss the release of Garmin G1000H NXi Software 24 and the associated service directives issued for Bell 407GXi operators.
Marc and Gilbert explain why Bell released an Alert Service Bulletin for certain aircraft equipped with two-axis and three-axis autopilot systems, including IFR-configured aircraft. The software update addresses a previously identified potential autopilot issue that could result in an uncommanded pitch-up.
The episode also highlights several enhancements included in Software 24, such as improvements to maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities, support for upcoming filtration and cockpit voice/data recorder provisions, and updated procedures for software loading. Operators will learn about the new process for obtaining software loader cards through MyBell, the reasons behind the change, and the additional cards required to complete the upgrade.
For full details, operators should always refer directly to the Official Alert Service Bulletin.
