Why Choose the Robinson R44 Raven I?
The Robinson R44 is one of the most popular light helicopters in the world, valued for its four-seat cabin, straightforward handling and strong parts and service support. In Australia it is a common choice for private owners, flight schools, tourism and charter operators, and agricultural and station work.
The Raven I uses a naturally aspirated Lycoming O-540, a proven piston engine with wide maintenance support across the country.
Low Hours, Long Life Ahead
The biggest value in this Robinson R44 Raven I is how much life it has left. With only 40 hours on the airframe and 2,160 hours remaining on both rotors, a buyer gets close to a new-aircraft ownership experience. The 12-yearly inspection isn’t due until 2036, so there is no major overhaul on the near horizon.
