Bell 407 ICAO designation

Can anyone provide a source to the ICAO designation for the Bell 407? I've looked everywhere but I cannot seem to find such information. I'm making this request not only to add a little information to the Bell 407 article, but to also create a realistic ATC call for the Bell 407 in Flight Simulator.

Requested merger

Bell 417 → Bell 407 — Overlappngs subject matter, one is a derivitive of the other, and minimal content on each page. - BillCJ 19:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Add * '''Support''' or * '''Oppose''' on a new line followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~.

Support Seems that there should be no real issues with it. Bell 417 seems to be just the civilian version of the ARH-70A, itself based initially off of the 407. Probably won't see the 417 on the Bell page until the FAA certifies it.

Discussion

As of today, Bell has not even put the 417 on its website. Until such time as more info becomes available, a dedicated article seems premature. - BillCJ 19:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Decision

After 1 week, it is 2-0 in favor of merging. - BillCJ 05:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

BillCJ the article has too many photos for the amount of text it has. They are interfering with the page layout and bunching the [edit] tabs. Anynobody 07:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specifications

Performance

Can anyone check the values for maximum speed, please? 140 knots = 260 km/h, not 237 km/h. The German entry gives 260 km/h. This would be above cruise speed, which seems reasonable. Peeceepeh 06:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That conversion is correct. I fixed it. -Fnlayson 12:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My source (Janes Aircraft Recognition Guide) says the maximum speed is 128 knots=237km/h. If this is not a problem for anyone, I will "fix" the stats. However, some of the stats in that publication contridict the stats on this website as well, so I would have to correct ALL of them. Kriscott 21:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should stick with Bell's specs first.[1] Add other data not listed there. -Fnlayson 21:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FRAHM damper NOT FRAHM dampener

Re my edit and revert - Specifically referred to as a FRAHM damper by Bell
