To meet the continuing intense competition within the helicopter industry, Bell Helicopter has developed a new system to relay essential information to our loyal customers in the fastest way possible. Our goal is to provide you with immediate access to newly issued commercial Bell Helicopter Alert Service Bulletins, Technical Bulletins, Operations Safety Notices, Information Letters and other data using the widespread availability of the internet.

Alert Service Bulletins and Operations Safety Notices for all models issued after March 1st 1999 have been posted here, as well as several high demand Technical Bulletins and Information Letters. A testing period of the new system has been completed, and we have received and incorporated very valuable suggestions from you, our customers, to ensure this site will benefit and assist your operations.

All Technical Bulletins and Information Letters issued after September 1st, 1999 will also be available here. Prior distribution of earlier Service Directives, in combination with required compliance dates, eliminates the need to post previous bulletins. If required, copies of previous documents may be obtained through the Commercial Publications Distribution Center by sending a fax to (817) 280-6466.
