SUU's curriculum courses include turbine transition, external load, night vision goggles, mountain flying, SFAR 73 transition, and single engine and multi engine fixed wing training, for which the B505 will come in handy.
With a speed of 125 kts and a useful load of 1,500 pounds, the Bell 505 is designed to be safe and easy to fly while providing significant value to the operator, Southern Utah University, and its student pilot population.
