Robinson / R66
The R66 is a Robinson turbine model with a larger cabin than the R44. It retains the familiar brand philosophy, but changes the operational conversation.
About the manufacturer 
01 / Model history
Robinson's official catalogue lists five seats and a RR300 turbine engine for the base R66. There are different versions on the market, and the manufacturer's current line-up is updated; the name R66 itself does not reveal all the options.
The transition from the R44 to the R66 is often discussed through the engine and the extra seat. It is equally important to assess the training, maintenance, baggage and restrictions of a particular route.
02 / Manufacturer data
The R66 translates the Robinson compact format into a gas turbine power plant and five seats. This is a notable step relative to the R44, but still a light private car.

The RR300 turbine engine and the additional seat change the nature of the R66 operation. At the same time, the cabin remains compact: the weight of people and fuel should be considered for a family trip with things.
In the ads can meet different years of production and equipment. For the general name of the R66, you need to see the specific board and its equipment.
The number of about 650 km was published without a fuel reserve. An additional tank can increase the stock, but its installation and refueling reduce the available payload.
Like any single-engine helicopter, the route is evaluated taking into account local rules, possible reserve sites and crew requirements.
