Only one primary life-limited airframe item — the Upper Frame (C020-2) — reaches its 2,200-hour replacement point in approximately 287 hours. This is a standard R44 life-limited item and typically involves €20k–€30k in parts and labour, depending on shop rates.
This limited upcoming work is already reflected in the asking price and does not affect the helicopter’s current airworthiness or operational availability.
The aircraft has no damage history, mint exterior/interior, and a fully documented maintenance history. All SBs, ADs, and MCAI requirements are fully complied with (last status: 07/02/2025).
This is a turn-key, high-specification R44 with substantial upcoming maintenance already completed — a rare find in the European market.
