The Bell 407 in brief

The Bell 407 is a single-engine turbine helicopter with a four-blade main rotor and a Rolls-Royce 250 engine, developed from the JetRanger and LongRanger line.

It is flown in medical, law enforcement, tour, utility and corporate work, and the current 407GXi adds a Garmin cockpit and a newer engine control.

The middle half were built 2009–2021.

How the Bell 407 performs

The 407 is faster and smoother than the 206 series it grew from, with more power for hot days and higher elevations.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 115 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 310 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 7 passengers.

Buying a Bell 407

Time left on the life-limited components and the engine’s history shape what a 407 asks, along with how it was equipped for its last role.

The middle half of US-dollar asks run $3,180,000–$3,875,000, around a median of $3,180,000, from 9 priced listings. Asking prices, not sales.

The middle half of those that publish airframe time show 540–3,146 hours, from 47 listings.

Before an offer, check

  • Time and calendar life left on the main rotor, tail rotor, transmission and engine.
  • Mission equipment fitted, and whether it stays with the aircraft.
  • Operating history and the logs that go with it.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
