Extensive 2,200-Hour / 12-Year Maintenance Completed in 2026

Aircraft

• Model: Robinson R44 Astro
• Serial Number: 0757
• Registration: OE-XXK (formerly G-BZGO)
• Total Time: 4,135:12 hours
• Hobbs: 4,135:12 hours
• Maintenance status reference: 22 July 2026

These basic aircraft data are directly stated in the maintenance status.

MAJOR MAINTENANCE STATUS

A major maintenance event was recorded on 22 June 2026 at 4,135:12 hours.

The next RHC 2,200-hour inspection is shown due at:

6,335:12 hours — 2,200 hours remaining

The next 12-year inspection is shown due on:

22 June 2038

This is one of the aircraft's strongest selling points: many of the major R44 components and maintenance items are consequently shown with 2,200 hours remaining and/or calendar limits extending to June 2038.

MAIN ROTOR SYSTEM

Main Rotor Blades

• P/N: C016-7
• S/N: 18314 / 18326
• Revision: AK
• Remaining: 2,200 FH
• Due: 6,335:12 FH
• Calendar limit: 01 October 2040

The maintenance schedule separately shows the C016-7 blade/C158-1 spindle assembly 12-year maintenance due 01 October 2027. This should not be hidden in a sales advertisement, because a knowledgeable R44 buyer will notice it during pre-buy review.

I would therefore state this separately in the detailed specification rather than advertising simply "2,200 hours remaining on everything."

TAIL ROTOR BLADES

Tail Rotor Blades

• P/N: C029-3
• S/N: 21587 / 21510
• Revision: R
• Remaining: 2,140:30 FH
• Due: 6,275:42 FH
• Calendar limit: 23 October 2039

MAIN ROTOR / TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS

The maintenance status shows several important components with the new 2,200-hour interval to 6,335:12 FH, including the main gearbox gear set, main rotor hub, main rotor spindle, main gearbox sump and main gearbox housing.

The Main Rotor Gearbox Assembly, S/N 13319, is shown with its next 12-year service due 22 June 2038 and its 2,200-hour TBO position due at 6,335:12 FH.

This supports a strong but accurate sales phrase such as:

Major drivetrain components with up to 2,200 hours remaining following the 2026 maintenance event.

ENGINE

Lycoming O-540-F1B5

• S/N: L-25569-40A
• Maintenance/overhaul reference date: 22 June 2026
• Aircraft TT at start: 4,135:12
• Engine overhaul requirement: 2,000 FH / 144 months, with a documented 200 FH extension provision
• Maintenance status indicates 2,200 FH remaining
• Calendar due: 22 June 2038

The document also schedules the inspections applicable to a new/rebuilt/overhauled engine, beginning with the first 10-hour and 25-hour inspections.

For an advertisement I would therefore write:

Lycoming O-540-F1B5 – maintenance/overhaul cycle commenced June 2026 at aircraft TT 4,135:12; up to 2,200 FH shown remaining in the current maintenance status.

I would not write “brand-new engine” unless the engine logbook or release documentation specifically proves that.

MAGNETOS / ENGINE ACCESSORIES

Both magnetos are recorded with the June 2026 maintenance cycle:

• LH Magneto: BL-600616-3, S/N E19EA267R
• RH Magneto: BL-600646-201, S/N E18HA062R

The overhaul/replacement schedule records 2,200 FH remaining / calendar to June 2038.

The carburetor and starter are likewise shown with the corresponding engine overhaul interval. The starter is recorded with a date of 16 July 2026.

One exception is important: the alternator does not have 2,200 hours remaining. The document records only 898:06 FH remaining for the alternator.

That is another reason I would avoid a blanket claim such as “all components zero time.”

AVIONICS / INSPECTIONS

The following inspections were performed/reset on 22 June 2026:

• Avionic inspection
• Transponder inspection
• Pitot-static check
• Compass compensation

Their next due date is shown as 22 June 2028 ±30 days.

Weight & Balance was also performed on 22 June 2026, with the next interval shown for June 2030.

ELT / SAFETY EQUIPMENT

The ELT battery is shown with:

• P/N S1840510-01
• S/N TM0000346253
• Replacement due: 01 March 2032

The halon-free fire extinguisher has a replacement limit of 31 December 2037
