About Robinson - Robinson R44 Raven I

The Robinson R44 Raven I is a highly reliable, four-seat, single-engine light utility helicopter designed and built by the Robinson Helicopter Company. Known for its distinct high-inertia two-bladed rotor system, streamlined fuselage, and responsive controls, this helicopter provides an excellent balance of safety, comfort, and operational economy. It represents one of the most successful civil helicopter designs in aviation history. This specific aircraft, operated under registration OE-XXY by Startrade Heli, is primarily utilized for private transport, pilot training, and aerial sightseeing. Powered by a dependable Lycoming O-540 carbonated piston engine, it offers stable performance and low operating costs. Its spacious cabin accommodates up to four occupants, including the pilot, with unobstructed visibility through its expansive canopy glass. Robinson R44 Raven I – Well-Maintained Helicopter with Strong Remaining Component Life For sale: Robinson R44 Raven I (S/N 2073) in operational condition with fully traceable maintenance history and predictable operating costs. General Information Total Time (TT): approx. 2,776 hours Engine: Lycoming O-540-F1B5 Engine Time (TSO): approx. 1,576 hours Configuration: Suitable for training, charter, or private operations Maintenance & Airworthiness The aircraft has been continuously maintained under a CAMO environment (Helihansa GmbH) with complete and transparent records. Key highlights: 2200-hour / 12-year inspection completed in 2023 → Next major overhaul not due until approx. 4,380 hours TT Remaining structural/component life: approx. 1,600+ hours ARC valid until April 2027, next full airworthiness review due 2029 Current Maintenance Status Next 100-hour / annual inspection due in approx. 14 flight hours or July 2026 Several minor routine maintenance items approaching due (normal for active operation) 50-hour engine inspection slightly overdue (~1.7 hours) ???? This is a working aircraft, not a freshly overhauled showroom unit — fully transparent and realistically priced accordingly. Components & Remaining Life Major components (main rotor blades, gearbox, structure): → Remaining life up to approx. 4,380 hours TT Calendar-based components largely valid until 2034–2035 Engine: → approx. 400–600 hours remaining to TBO ???? This ensures continued economic operation without immediate major investment. Why This Aircraft Stands Out ✔ 2200h / 12-year overhaul already completed (major value factor) ✔ Strong remaining component life ✔ Professionally maintained under CAMO ✔ Ideal for flight schools or commercial operators ✔ Transparent technical status — no hidden surprises Honest Assessment This R44 is a reliable, well-documented operational helicopter offering: Predictable maintenance planning Solid remaining life on key components Immediate usability (after routine maintenance items)
