1.3 MSG-3 Maintenance
The Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3) process was used on the Bell 505 to establish the initial schedule maintenance intervals and will be used over the service life of the Bell 505 to reduce Direct Maintenance Costs (DMCs). The process is led by a steering group composed of representatives from Bell, regulatory authorities, and operators. This approach improves safety by addressing maintenance of significant items at a system lev el, by zones, instead of at the individual component level. The objective i s to sustain the highest level of safety and reliability while improving cost and operational readiness. Some benefits in utilizing the MSG -3 methodology are:
• To ensure realization of the inherent safety and reliability levels of the equipment • To restore safety and reliability to their inherent levels when deterioration has occurred • To obtain the information necessary for design improvement of those items whose inherent reliability proves inadequate
• To accomplish these goals at a minimum total cost, including maintenance costs and the costs of resulting failures
• Selects fewer scheduled maintenance tasks
• Reduction of maintenance tasks – provides for a safer operation

2.3.15 Avionics Upgrade
The Garmin HTAWS, Synthetic Vision and GTS -800 TAS furthers enhance the exceptional situational awareness provided by the Garmin glass cockpit includes software activation of the Helicopter Terrain Avoidance and Warning System (HTAWS) and the Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology (HSVT) within the G1000H™ GXi flight deck. It also includes the installation a Garmin GTS-800 Traffic Awareness System (TAS).
The HTAWS offers “forward looking” terrain and obstacle avoidance (FLTA) capability to alert, in advance, where potential hazards may exist. In addition to terrain and obstacle alerting, Garmin’s HTAWS system also features voice callouts, or VCOs, which audibly announce the helicopter’s height above terrain when descending below 500 feet. VCO altitude callouts operate in all HTAWS modes, and Garmin’s technology allows you to select multiple callouts, in one hundred- foot intervals, descending from 500 down to 100 feet. The radar altimeter couples with the HTAWS to provide better situational awareness within 500 feet of the ground.
The Garmin Synthetic Vision System (SVS) software in the G1000H ™ GXi integrated avionics suite. Garmin’s Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) presents a three- dimensional depiction of terrain, obstacles and traffic on the G1000H™ GXi PFD so that the display replicates what a pilot would see outside the cockpit on a clear day. This brings an unprecedented level of situational awareness to the pilot especially when flying in conditions of reduced visibility or darkness. This results in enhanced safety and reduced pilot workload.
Garmin’s SVT seamlessly blends information about the aircraft position with topographical databases to create and display real-time 3D images. SVT presents the necessary information in ways that are easy to understand. Land, water and sky are clearly differentiated with shading and textures that are like the topographical colors found on the multi -function display (MFD) moving map. SVT works seamlessly to alert pilots of potential ground hazards by displaying terrain and obstacles that pose a threat to the aircraft with appropriate TAWS alert coloring.
Pilots will also appreciate SVT’s pathways, or Highway-In-The-Sky (HITS) guidance. Depicted as 3D “flying rectangles”, pathway guidance symbols help pilots stay on course when flying en route legs, VNAV legs, GPS/WAAS vertical approach procedures, ILS approach procedures, and arrival and departure procedures. When on an ILS approach, pilots will take advantage of Garmin’s patent-pending system whereby SVT relies on ILS signals to position the pathway. Therefore, when pilots fly through the SVT boxes on an ILS approach, they will automatically fly the precision glideslope. Pathways may be enabled or disabled via a PFD softkey.

The Garmin GTS -800 TAS provides expanded traffic alerts through both active and passive surveillance capabilities, and the ability to process 1090 MHz ADS-B extended squitter from other aircraft. The
GTS-800 TAS System replaces the standard
configuration TIS (Traffic Information System), using
active interrogation of Mode S and Mode C
transponders to provide Traffic Advisories to the pilot independent of the air traffic control system.
2.3.16 Emergency Locator Transmitter
The E -04 121.5/406 MHz Emergency Locator
Transmitter ELT), shown in (Figure 2-12), is designed for use in general and commercial aviation aircraft. Older
generation ELTs were very limited in their ability to rapidly locate and identify a downed aircraft. Often it took several passes of the orbiting satellites to get an approximate fix on a downed aircraft. The older generation ELTs gave
rescuers no information on type of aircraft, owner /
operator, or contact information. Location accuracy with older generation ELTs was limited to about a 15 to
20-mile radius and could take several hours to provide
accurate location data. The new generation 406 MHz
ELTs provide much better, and faster location accuracy.
For new generation 406 MHz ELTs without GPS position
information, the average time to process, and identify the aircraft location is one (1) to two (2) hours, with a search radius of about two (2) miles or less. The model E -04 ELT is interfaced to the Garmin G1000H™ GPS. With GPS information, the time to locate the aircraft position is 10 minutes or less, with an accuracy of about 300 feet.
2.3.17 Radar Altimeter - Garmin GRA55
The Garmin GRA -55 radar altimeter’s digital signal processing technology can intelligently process hundreds of altitude readings every second and filter out anomalies, smooth altitude tracking and crosscheck data and system integrity. These benefits combine to provide a smooth and consistent readout of the altitude Above Ground Level (AGL). The GRA 55 ( Figure 2-13) is designed to work in a multitude of environments, allowing you to go from rough terrain to tree canopies, sand to choppy water and know exactly how much room you have to maneuver. The GRA
55’s self-testing technology continuously monitors incoming data and system integrity to help assure that the altitude provided is accurate, even in low -visibility conditions. In most installations, this self-testing technology eliminates the need for the pilot to interact with the GRA 55 in any way.
