An ideal opportunity for someone looking to put a first cycle, in synch, Robinson R44 Raven I to work. This 2016 helicopter has just 1,351 hours total time, with 849hrs to run (to 2200hrs at 28th August 2028) and the engine has 1149hrs to run to TBO at the same date. This is an ideal opportunity for a school, or student to buy their own machine and put it to work with the valuable hours remaining fitting a busy usage profile. The addition benefit of EI-FXL is that it is an EU VAT paid helicopter, which would further suit a student or PPL looking to get started straight away with minimum complexity.
Maintained under CAMO by NFC (National Flight Centre) throughout its life, with complete, traceable maintenance history. A clean, straightforward, unmodified Raven I suited to private ownership, flight training, or fleet use. It has never been painted, or upgraded so the helicopter has that OEM Robinson look which always holds its value. Any decals on the helicopter can be removed at the point of sale as required by the new owner. Delivery anywhere in Europe can be arranged, or if container freight is required we can quote for that separately.
The avionics are a Garmin GNS-255a Nav/Com with GI-106A ILS/Nav indicator, Garmin Mode S, VFR Skymap and Dual USB outlets. The cosmetics, plastics are all in great condition and the helicopter is hangared. Ground handling wheels are included, and we have soft copy time life component sheet ready to send any interested party.
