Loading and fuel placards
The R44 family placards limit each under-seat compartment to 50 lb (23 kg). Seat plus compartment load is limited to 300 lb (136 kg), and total weight must stay within the gross weight limit. Fuel caps say 100 octane minimum aviation gasoline and 'align stripes'. Use only sealed maintenance-free batteries.
Inspections and records to check
The maintenance manual covers the 100-hour/annual inspection, the 12-year inspection and limited overhaul, and the 2200-hour overhaul. It also has a life-limited components chapter. Special inspections apply after tail skid strike, tail rotor strike, main rotor strike, rotor/engine overspeed, hard landing and lightning strike. Look for steel tube frame corrosion and V-belt condition.
Warranty and optional equipment
Robinson's new-aircraft warranty runs two years or the first 1000 hours, whichever comes first. Gearboxes have an extra pro-rated warranty for 2200 hours or three years. Approved R44 II supplements include floats, heated pitot, Garmin GPSMAP 225, air conditioning, ADS-B and autopilot. Confirm which are fitted and approved for the aircraft.
