2001 Robinson R44 ClipperPiston Helicopter

This 2001 Robinson R44 Clipper presents as a well-documented example with 2,167.3 total hours since new. Originally equipped with floats that have since been removed, the aircraft shows 32.7 hours remaining before scheduled component replacements are due. The helicopter received its last annual inspection in December 2023, with compression readings showing 76,74,70,74,74,76 across cylinders. Notable installed equipment includes dual controls, ground handling wheels, ADS-B out via tail beacon, and a suite of avionics featuring a KY197A radio, Bendix/King KT76C transponder, NAT audio controller, plus attitude and directional gyros.

Several major components have significant remaining service life, including the main rotor gearbox, swashplate, hub, blades, and hydraulic system components - all with 1,929.5 hours remaining (or until December 2026 for rotor blades). The tail rotor blades are affected by an AD and will expire in January 2025. The aircraft will require replacement of several drivetrain components in the near future, including the tail rotor gearbox, driveshaft, and control assemblies. Digital logbooks are available for review via DropBox, and the helicopter is currently located in Georgia despite the Tennessee-based seller listing.
