2003 Robinson R44 Raven II

Detailed Description

Price drop from 429,000 USD.

This R44 is co listed by Aerial Recon Ltd, Robinson Dealer since 1985, and the seller.

This aircraft received a factory overhaul and has been under single private ownership since 2011, operated exclusively in non-commercial use. It has been flown conservatively, stored in a heated, high-quality hangar, and retains complete records from new with no reported accident or damage history. New tail rotor blades were installed in 2025.

The helicopter has substantial remaining flight hours, however fewer remaining calendar years. To fully utilize the remaining time before the next major calendar-based inspection, a new owner would need to fly approximately 340 hours per year until Oct 2030.

This makes the aircraft best suited to an active owner or light commercial-style operation, rather than low-utilization private ownership. Buyers flying limited annual hours should factor this into their acquisition and long-term planning.

12-Year Inspection: Due in 2030 or at 1,652.5 additional hours (whichever occurs first)

The aircraft is configured simply and efficiently, without heavy avionics packages or optional systems such as air conditioning. This results in a lighter overall aircraft, appealing to operators prioritizing payload, simplicity, and operating cost.

This helicopter received a 2200-hour overhaul at the manufacturing facility by Robinson Helicopter Company in September of 2018, making the 12-year due in May of 2030.
