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)
