This TC evaluation team attended the Bell Alliance facility and concluded that the pilot training course, as presented by Bell Helicopter in Sept 2011 was suitable as intended (no day visual restriction). The JOET also evaluated Bell 429 serial number 010 configured for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) for a FAA air operator while in Fort Worth Texas.Īn evaluation team consisting of the JOEB Team Leader and a Senior Transport Canada (TC) Regional Inspector was formed to review the perceived shortcomings observed by the JOET in March 2010. The course was conditionally approved suitable for a type rating restricted to day visual flight rules where applicable. The JOET evaluated the Bell Helicopter, 429 Pilot Ground and Flight Procedures Transition Training Program offered by the Bell Helicopters Training Academy in Alliance Texas in March 2010.


Each jurisdiction elected to create separate Evaluation Reports, however information and perspective was constructively shared between the FAA, EASA and TC during the evaluation. Bell Helicopter requested that Transport Canada convene a Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB) for the Bell 429 type helicopter and TC convened a Joint Operational Evaluation Team (JOET) consisting of the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Transport Canada (TC), as per International Agreement dated June 2000. The Bell 429 is manufactured in Canada and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) is the Regulatory body for Canada.
