About the Bell 222
The Bell 222 (and re-engined Bell 230) is a 1980s light-to-medium twin-turbine — a sleek, retractable-gear helicopter most famous as the helicopter in the 1980s TV series Airwolf. Twin Lycoming LTS101 engines (later replaced by Rolls-Royce 250-C30 on the 230), retractable gear and a stand-up cabin made it the most modern civil twin of its era. Used for corporate, EMS and charter roles. The 230 was a re-engined upgrade; the later 430 (separate page) stretched the design.

Buying a Used Bell 222
Buying a Bell 222 centres on its turbine engine(s) — time to overhaul, hot-section history and any engine maintenance program — alongside airframe hours and cycles.
What to check before buying
- Turbine engine status — hot-section and overhaul time, trend monitoring and whether the engine is on a maintenance program.
- Airframe hours & cycles — high-utilisation turboprops accumulate cycles quickly; cycles can matter more than hours.
- Equipment — cargo pod, floats/amphibian gear, de-ice and avionics all affect value.
- Corrosion & logbooks — continuous records and a corrosion inspection, especially on float or marine-operated aircraft.
- Pre-buy inspection — commission an independent pre-buy by a type-experienced shop.
