Avionics: Equipped with the Bell BasiX-Pro integrated glass cockpit and an Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) with a standard three-axis autopilot.
Cabin: The large, flat-floor cabin (130 cu ft passenger volume) and wide side-sliding doors, with optional rear clamshell doors, are key features for quick and easy patient loading in EMS roles.
Landing Gear: Standard skid gear, with an optional retractable wheeled landing gear (WLG) variant available for a slight increase in cruise speed.

Service Ceiling: 6,096 m (20,000 ft).
Range (Standard Fuel): Up to 722 km (449 mi, 390 nmi).
Safety: Certified for Category A (safe single-engine performance) and Single-Pilot Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations, providing high safety margins.
Maintenance: Designed using the Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3) process, similar to commercial airliners, which simplifies maintenance and reduces operating costs.
