Question 2

Item B.6.20.: Cabin doors which may be removed or opened in flight.

Item B.6.20.1: Dual sliding doors for aft cabin

The Bell 407 does not have sliding doors onboard.

However, we do have FAA approved quick-release standard doors that can be removed extremely quickly by pilots or aircrew.

The Bureau is requesting a sliding door. The scope and authorized missions requested by the bureau includes STEP. While in any mission profile to conduct operations for their environment, the bureau needs sliding doors to have the option to fly enroute and have a mission change that may need to pickup or drop off personnel in STEP operations.
