About the Sikorsky S-76
The Sikorsky S-76 is one of the most successful corporate and EMS helicopters ever built — a fast, smooth, twin-engine medium helicopter designed from the start for civil executive and offshore work. Variants span the S-76A through the S-76C++ and the modern S-76D, differing in engines (Allison/Turbomeca/ Pratt & Whitney), avionics and performance. It is the benchmark executive medium twin, equally at home in VIP, EMS and offshore roles.

Buying a Used Sikorsky S-76
When buying a Sikorsky S-76, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.
What to check before buying
- Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
- Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
