2002 Mcdonnell Douglas 520NTurbine Helicopter

This 2002 McDonnell Douglas 520N helicopter (N515TH, serial LN099) presents a low-time airframe with only 1,950 total hours and a freshly completed annual inspection in January 2024. Powered by a Rolls-Royce 250-C20R 450 HP enhanced engine with just 180 hours since its last hot section inspection, the aircraft features the distinctive NOTAR anti-torque system paired with a five-blade articulated main rotor. The avionics suite is centered around a Garmin GTN 650Xi with WAAS capability, complemented by a GTX 345 ADS-B transponder, GMA 340 audio panel, and full IFR-ready equipment including traffic avoidance and wire strike protection systems.

The airframe shows well with an all-over metallic blue exterior in excellent condition and a functional interior featuring dark blue leather seats with gray carpet. Practical utility features include a cargo hook with digital/analog indicator, auxiliary fuel tank (21-gallon capacity), quick-attach landing gear wheels, and night scanner lighting. With its 210 NM range, 83-gallon fuel capacity, and four-seat configuration, this 520N is equipped for both passenger transport and utility missions. The aircraft's documentation includes complete logs and it is currently based at KPDX under VFR operation.
