01 / Model history
## Long life of the family 407
In practice, the 407 can be a passenger, work or special board. The general name does not say which avionics, engine and cabin are installed on the selected copy.
For comparison with 407GXi, first figure out the year and modification. The old and new versions may have different equipment and service history; the impression of the flight also depends on the condition of the cabin.

Bell, current page of Bell 407GXi. This is a reference point for the modern version, and not the universal characteristics of all the Bell 407.
### Why can't you erase the index?
If only the Bell 407 is written in the documents, it is not yet possible to understand the engine, avionics and options by this name. 407GXi is a specific modern version with its own published figures.
When looking for a used car, ask for the full designation and records of upgrades. Even the same interior does not make the two sides technically the same.
### Private flight on a light Bell
The 407 family offers a compact turbine format with space for a small group. When choosing, the convenience of rear seats, baggage loading and the admission of a single-engine car to the intended route are important.
The numbers in the table show the limits of 407GXi in Bell conditions. They can not be used as a calculation of the range of the old version or a fully loaded private board.
