Robinson R-22

Robinson 22 are one of the most popular rotorcraft in the world. Wherever you fly in the world, chances are that you will spend some time in the aircraft built by Robinson Helicopter Company. Excellent reliability, great performance, and robust construction make the two seat R-22 ideal for flight training.

Here are some other qualities that make the R-22 a popular aircraft among flight training schools:

Easy Ground Handling: Light empty weight allows easy manual ground handling by one person.

Off Airport Landings: High-mounted tail rotor and raised exhaust provided an added margin of safety at off-airport destinations.

Two-Bladed Main Rotor: requires only one-third as much hangar space as a multi-bladed rotor.

Low-Noise Level: Heavy duty muffler and low tail rotor tip speed make the R-22 a community friendly quiet helicopter.

Ample Baggage Compartments: Both seats hinge up for access to concealed storage areas for carry-on bags, briefcases, supplies, and other belongings.

Heating and Ventilation: Fresh air vents in the cabin nose and each door provide generous ventilation for pilot and passenger. The optional heater distributes heat during cold weather operations.

T-Bar Cyclic: Robinson's patented cyclic design eliminates uncomfortable stick between knees and eases cabin entry and exits.

Voice-Activated Intercom Standard: A high quality voice-activated intercom eliminates the need to use intercom switches during doors on flights. Floor and hand intercom switches are included for doors-off operations.

Visibility: Comfortable seating for two with wide, unobstructed views. Large windows in each door allow clear sideward visibility from both seats.
