Garmin Autopilot Certified in Bell 505
The Bell 505 is the second helicopter model to be certified for installation of Garmin's GFC 600H helicopter flight control system.

Garmin has added a second helicopter—the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X—to the list of FAA approvals for its GFC 600H helicopter flight control system (HFCS). The first certification program for the GFC 600H was the Airbus Helicopters AS350 AStar (BA, B2, B3, and B3E models), which received FAA approval in February 2020.
