The Robinson R66 in brief

The Robinson R66 is a five-seat turbine helicopter with a Rolls-Royce RR300 engine, Robinson’s step up from the piston R44.

It is flown privately and in commercial work such as tours, training and utility, and comes in versions such as the float-equipped Marine and the newer NxG.

105 Robinson R66 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 2011–2027.

The middle half were built 2013–2026.

How the Robinson R66 performs

The turbine gives the R66 better performance on hot days and at altitude than the piston R44, and it carries more, while keeping a relatively simple design and running cost for a turbine.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 193 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 640 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 6 passengers.

Buying a Robinson R66

Like other Robinsons, the R66 has a manufacturer’s overhaul at a set time or age, so the time left before it shapes what one asks.

The middle half of US-dollar asks run $1,058,174–$1,456,000, around a median of $1,250,000, from 22 priced listings. Asking prices, not sales.

The middle half of those that publish airframe time show 311–1,496 hours, from 34 listings.

Before an offer, check

  • Time and calendar life left before the manufacturer’s overhaul.
  • Engine trend data and the history of the RR300.
  • Any Robinson safety notices and service bulletins, and how each was closed.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
