Bell introduced the LongRanger in 1975. It seats 6 with a published range of 324 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 120 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 20,000 feet and 16 cubic feet of baggage volume.

Why the Bell LongRanger Fits Baltimore
Summer weekends to the Eastern Shore and Ocean City book up early, so tell us your dates as soon as they are set.
A helicopter leg around Baltimore depends on the landing points at both ends and the day’s weather, and we check with operators before telling you it will work.
How Baltimore Clients Use the Bell LongRanger
Tell us where you want to be picked up and set down, and when, and we will ask the helicopter operators nearby what they can do.
Share the route, how many are flying and how much they are bringing, and your advisor will say whether this type is the right fit or suggest one that is.

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
