Powered by a Safran Arrius 2R turboshaft and equipped from the factory with a Garmin G1000H glass cockpit, the 505 is the newest entry point into Bell turbine ownership. It is popular for training, private flying and light commercial operations. As a newer aircraft, most 505s on the used market are low-time and trade close to new prices.

Buying a Used Bell 505

Buying a Bell 505 comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

  • Safran Arrius engine — engine program/warranty status; low-time engines on most aircraft (newer model).
  • Component life — most components still well within their first life limits given the model's age.
  • G1000H avionics — software/feature level.
  • Mission equipment — training-school heritage (high cycles), private vs commercial.
  • Warranty remaining — relevant on near-new airframes.

Which 505? Most 505s on the used market are similar generation; differentiation is by cabin configuration, total time and warranty/program status. A school-fleet 505 may have high cycles despite low calendar age.
