2016 Robinson R44 Raven IPiston Helicopter

This 2016 Robinson R44 Raven I presents a well-equipped light piston helicopter with favorable maintenance timing for a private owner. Currently based in Townsville and the Whitsundays region, the aircraft shows approximately 470 hours remaining before its next major inspection cycle, with about 4 years until calendar-based maintenance comes due. The VFR-configured helicopter features notable avionics including dual Garmin 225B VHF radios, a Garmin GMA audio panel, and an Aspen Evolution display complemented by a Garmin Aera 500 GPS for navigation.

The cabin has received thoughtful upgrades with four bubble windows for enhanced visibility, leather seats, and new carpets for passenger comfort. Practical features include fuel bladder tanks for extended range, dual flight controls for training capability, and ground handling equipment including tie-downs, handling wheels, and a protective bubble cover. The combination of relatively low utilization and upcoming maintenance availability makes this Raven I particularly suitable for private operators seeking a turnkey helicopter with balanced operational costs.
