The collective control lever attaches to the cabin floor on the pilot's left, at the base of
the pedestal. A direct linkage, beneath the floor, transmits collective input through
the vertical control tunnel to the collective servo actuator. Provision to connect the
optional dual/copilot control kit is standard. The standard collective-mounted twist-
grip engine throttles are arranged horizontally on the left side of the control head, and
align directly with their respective engine instruments. They are always available for
pilot management, without releasing the collective lever. The left/right arrangement
corresponds to the physical engine location; left - No.1/left- No.2/right. This insures
correct identification of engine/throttle.
The Bell 430 collective lever incorporates some unique design features which reduce
pilot effort and enhance safe operation. The collective operates in a near horizontal
arc (i.e.; increasing collective pitch equates to more rearward than upward motion of
the lever) perpendicular to any vertical rotor system vibrations, which eliminates any
pilot induced oscillations. The motion is natural and pilot control inputs are instinctively
correct. The throttles are canted aft about 10° and form a comfortable and natural left
hand grip. Bold white lines on the finely ribbed black rubber grips visibly indicates
throttle position throughout their range. Throttle motion is conventional and instinctive;
rotating up and forward to open and down and rearward to close. A stick shaker i s
located on the collective lever, and when an impending OVERTORQUE condition is
sensed by the IIDS it functions (vibrates) to warn the pilot to reduce power. A shaker
test button is located on the pedestal.
