ENSTROM F28C Model Guide
ENSTROM F28C · Model Guide
Overview
ENSTROM F28C is a single-engine piston helicopter from Enstrom. The inputs give no variant-specific performance or weight data. They do cover the F-28/280 family, its parts catalog and two service letters, so this guide focuses on what to check before buying.
- The F-28 family is piston-powered and lists up to 5 passengers, per registry data. That is a family maximum, not an F28C figure.
- Family figures reach up to 430 nm range, 13000 ft service ceiling and 1200 kg MTOW. Confirm F28C values in its own flight manual.
- Enstrom publishes an illustrated parts catalog covering the F-28C, with revisions through May 2023.
- SIL 0184 covers the collective trim adjustment rod for F-28C and other models. Check whether it has been done.
