Robinson R44 Astro-Hydraulic/Raven 1 – Strong Engine Time & Recent Component Upgrades

For sale: Robinson R44 Astro (S/N 0572) with solid maintenance history, low-time engine, and several key components recently renewed.

General Information

• Total Time (TT): approx. 3,843 hours
• Engine: Lycoming O-540-F1B5
• Engine Time (TSO): approx. 754 hours
• Configuration: Suitable for training, utility, or cost-efficient commercial use

Key Highlights

• ✅ Low-time engine (~750h since overhaul)
  → approx. 1,200+ hours remaining to TBO
• ✅ Main rotor blades replaced in 2024
  → approx. 2,000+ hours remaining
• ✅ Tail rotor blades also recently replaced (2024)
• ✅ Strong component status across dynamic systems

Maintenance & Airworthiness

• Full Airworthiness Review valid until November 2028
• ARC valid until November 2026
• Maintained under CAMO (Helihansa GmbH)
• All inspections performed in accordance with regulations

Current Maintenance Status

• 100-hour / annual inspection fresh done
• Several routine checks approaching due (normal for active aircraft)

???? Aircraft is in active operational condition, but should be delivered with fresh inspection for optimal value.

Component Status & Remaining Life

• Airframe: mid/high-time (~3,800h), but
• Main components: largely renewed or mid-life
• Main rotor blades: ~2,000h remaining
• Engine: strong remaining life (~1,200h)
• Many components valid well into the 2030s

Why This Aircraft Stands Out

• ✔ Combination of high-time airframe + low-time engine
• ✔ Recently replaced rotor blades (major cost factor eliminated)
• ✔ Good remaining life on key components
• ✔ Attractive entry price compared to low-time aircraft
• ✔ Ideal for operators focused on ROI and utilization

Honest Assessment

This is not a low-time collector aircraft, but a very practical and economically attractive R44:

???? You are essentially buying:

• a mid-time platform
• with fresh critical components (engine + blades)

➡️ That’s exactly what many operators look for:
maximum usable hours with controlled acquisition cost
