Bell, a leading aerospace manufacturer, has announced a significant partnership with Boeing, an authorized and endorsed supplier of Used Serviceable Material (USM) products for Bell 212 and Bell 412 customers and maintainers. This collaboration is expected to enhance global support for Bell customers, particularly those operating Bell 212 and Bell 412 helicopters. The partnership extends to a wide-ranging pool of USM rotable parts for Bell 212 and 412 helicopters. These parts cover various critical components, including airframes, main transmissions, avionics, main rotor heads, main rotor blades, tail rotor blades, and gearboxes, all of which are supported by Boeing.
Under the agreement, customers and maintainers can access USM parts for Bell 212 and Bell 412 helicopters. These parts are available for outright purchase or through an exchange program, where customers receive a repaired or overhauled component in exchange for their used core. It’s worth noting that all repaired or overhauled parts are FAA approved and processed through Bell’s Authorized Customer Service Facilities and Bell Authorized Maintenance Centers.
