FAQs About the Robinson R44
How much does a Robinson R44 cost?
Robinson’s published suggested retail price for a new R44 Raven II with standard equipment was $615,500 as of July 1, 2025. Real-world listings for new and very low-time 2024–2025 aircraft often appear between about $620,000 and $800,000 depending on options and delivery position. Used R44 Raven I/II helicopters in 2024–2025 commonly list from roughly $300,000 upward based on year, time since overhaul, and avionics.
What are the key differences between the Raven I, Raven II and Cadet?
Raven I uses a carbureted Lycoming O-540. Raven II upgrades to a fuel-injected Lycoming IO-540 with more power and better hot-and-high performance. Cadet removes the rear seats, reduces gross weight, and targets training with lower operating costs. Equipment such as floats (Clipper) and air-conditioning varies by build.
What is the typical cruise speed and range?
Typical cruise is about 202 km/h (109 kn). Maximum range without reserve is about 556 km (300 nm). Actual results depend on weight, density altitude, configuration, and power setting.
What overhaul schedule should buyers plan for?
Plan for the factory-specified 2,200-hour or 12-year overhaul for airframe and major components. Many buyers price aircraft by “hours to overhaul,” so confirm remaining hours and calendar time on the logbooks and component cards.
Is the R44 suitable for flight training?
Yes. The R44 sees wide use in ab-initio through advanced training. It offers four seats for instruction plus observers, good endurance for cross-country flights, and straightforward maintenance support worldwide.
