BELL 206A Model Guide
BELL 206A · Model Guide
Overview
BELL 206A is a light Bell helicopter. The library lists it as single-engine-piston, but the Bell 206 family registry data shows turboshaft propulsion, so confirm the engine type in the aircraft's records. The source documents cover only optional equipment: cargo hook and load-weigh kits, and a baggage floor protector.
- No BELL 206A-specific performance, weight or V-speed data is in the inputs. Get it from the flight manual and the aircraft's records.
- Onboard Systems cargo hook kits are approved for Bell 206A and 206B with Bell cargo hook suspension P/N 206-072-900-1, -101, or -103.
- An Alpine Aerotech baggage compartment floor protector kit exists for the 206A/B. It adds 3.17 lb and has no airworthiness limitations.
- Library and registry data disagree on engine type (piston vs turboshaft). Verify before you buy.
