This 1997 Bell 206B III (N463RA, s/n 4463) is a well-equipped turbine helicopter currently available for lease with excellent times remaining and includes spare components. The aircraft features Bell main rotor blades, Van Horn tail rotor blades, and a hinged carbon fiber tail rotor driveshaft cowling. Notable upgrades include extended baggage capacity, stainless steel entry scuff plates, a rotor brake system, Facet oil filter, wedge door windows, float provisions, and an Air Comm heater/defrost system. The airframe also benefits from high skid gear, dual controls, maintenance steps, and a complete rewiring during refurbishment.
Maintained under 135 certification standards, this VFR-configured helicopter is ADS-B equipped and includes an artificial horizon, radar altimeter, and ELT. The five-seat cabin features bubble windows, and detailed records are available with a status report. A maintenance plan is in place for upcoming component exchanges, including a potential turbine swap with a fresh TSO 0.0 engine prior to a new lease contract. The aircraft is ready for immediate lease within the continental U.S., with customization options available.
