Garmin GFC 600H Bell 505 — 3-Axis System - GFC600H-B505-3AX
The Garmin GFC 600H Bell 505 — 3-Axis System is an approved Garmin GFC 600H configuration for the Bell 505, providing digital flight control support for helicopter operations. Its attitude hold, speed stability, hover assist, H-ESP technology and automatic LVL mode can help create a more stable flight platform while reducing pilot workload.
Stable Attitude Control
Maintain commanded pitch, roll or heading with ATT mode without continuous control input. Pilots can still fly through the system’s inputs for smooth hand-flown maneuvers.
Hover And Level Support
Support demanding helicopter flight with hover assist and automatic LVL mode. These digital automation features add useful control assistance during operation.
Controls At The Cyclic
Engage the flight control system and primary functions from cyclic-mounted controls. This supports access without taking a hand off the controls or going eyes-down in the cockpit.
Digital Flight Control
The GFC 600H combines multiple automated flight-control functions in a 3-axis system. Attitude hold includes speed stability, helping the aircraft maintain the selected flight condition while the pilot manages mission demands. H-ESP technology is also part of the system’s advanced digital automation feature set.
Pilot Workflow Support
Helicopter flying can require sustained control attention, particularly in complex environments or adverse weather conditions. By helping stabilize the flight platform, the GFC 600H is intended to reduce inflight workload, fatigue and stress so pilots can direct more attention to the mission. ATT mode may be selected from the mode controller or the force trim release button on the cyclic.
Bell 505 Configuration
This Garmin GFC 600H Bell 505 — 3-Axis System is the approved Garmin GFC 600H configuration for the Bell 505. The configuration is specific to the Bell 505 and provides the stated 3-axis flight-control capability.

GFC™ 600H Flight Control System
GFC™ 600H Flight Control System
As a helicopter operator, you’re focused on getting maximum productivity and mission effectiveness from your equipment and personnel while achieving the highest levels of safety. To meet the challenge in today’s operating environment, you need smart technology that shares this same focus. And that’s what our GFC 600H flight control system is all about. Its advanced digital automation features include attitude hold with speed stability, hover assist, H-ESP technology, automatic LVL mode and more. Plus, cyclic-mounted controls allow easy engagement of the flight control system and its primary functions without taking a hand off the controls or going “eyes-down” in the cockpit. You can count on GFC 600H to give you a more stable flight platform that serves to significantly reduce inflight workload, fatigue and stress levels — allowing pilots to focus more attention on accomplishing the missions at hand.
Any pilot who’s spent time flying helicopters knows how demanding these operations can be, particularly when faced with complicated missions in adverse weather conditions or complex environments. The GFC 600H flight control system provides pilots a variety of advanced capabilities to help accomplish the multitude of missions they face. The attitude hold (ATT) mode, activated via the mode controller or force trim release button on the cyclic, requires no pilot input on the controls to maintain the commanded pitch, roll or heading; however, while activated, the pilot can easily “fly through” the flight control inputs for smooth hand-flown maneuvers.
Highlights
- Cost-effective digital flight control solution brings superior stability, efficiency and safety enhancements to helicopters
- Helicopter-tailored safety features such as attitude hold with speed stability, overspeed and low speed protection, a dedicated return-to-level (LVL) mode, Helicopter Electronic Stability and Protection (Garmin H-ESP™ technology) and hover assist
- Boasts superior integration potential with a variety of Garmin flight displays and navigation sources as well as third-party equipment
- Attitude-based flight control system with advanced AHRS technology and redundant, cross-checking sensors
- Available yaw axis servo supplements tail rotor pedal input by the pilot to help maintain heading and keep the helicopter in smooth, coordinated flight
Applicability
Approved Garmin GFC 600H configuration for the Bell 505 (3AX).
