Fleet Focus – Robinson R22 Beta
The Robinson R22 is a light, 2 bladed, single piston engine utility helicopter, derived by Frank Robinson as a “personal helicopter” it is now widely used worldwide as a training helicopter.
Many of our PPL & CPL(H) students here at Helicentre have cut their teeth on this excellent little machine, indeed they say “if you can hover an R22, you can hover anything”
With a cruising speed of 80kts, this aircraft can operate at a range of up to 280 nautical miles
