The Bell Training Academy is conducting a fleetwide installation of Precise Flight's Pulselite system, an FAA certified lightweight electrical system controller that alternately pulses the landing and auxiliary lights of a helicopter. The system increases visibility and reflects the speed and directional movement of the aircraft, and has been proven to significantly reduce bird strikes and decrease mid-air and ground collisions.

“The Bell Training Academy is proud to partner with Precise Flight, to bring enhanced safety features to our state-of-the-art training academy fleet,” says flight safety officer Harry Vergis. “Our partnership with them demonstrates our commitment to innovative products that enhance safety.”

Precise Flight CEO Doug La Placa adds: “Bell Training Academy's decision to outfit its fleet with the Pulselite system comes as no surprise as it continues to lead the global rotorcraft industry in safety and performance.”

The Pulselite system is installed on more than 30,000 aircraft worldwide and is certified for most rotorcraft models.
