01 / Model history

## Business Classics of Sikorsky

The S-76 has its own niche between light city cars and the larger S-92. Version D is important in itself: the characteristics and equipment of previous versions can not be transferred to it without checking.

For a private route, evaluate not only the flight, but also the cabin: the convenience of landing, noise, luggage and the possibilities of sites. For a used copy, technical history is especially important.

02 / Manufacturer data

## Specifications and uses

The S-76D continues the corporate history of the S-76 family. For this model, the context is especially important: the published figures and the salon refer to a certain version and the release period.

Sikorsky, official brochure of S-76D VIP. This is published historical data for a specific version; the availability of production and support is checked separately.

### Why the S-76D is so popular

The S-76 family has long been associated with the transportation of business passengers. Version D retains this role, but does not automatically inherit the parameters of all previous S-76s.

In a real salon, the layout of the seats, the state of the finish and the documents for changes are decided. These questions are especially important for a machine with a history of operation.

### Two digits of distance

Sikorsky brochure cites 737 km with 30-minute reserve and 874 km without it in its own conditions. This is a good example of how one change in assumptions changes a beautiful passport number.

To purchase, you need to check the support of specific components and service history, and for the flight - to perform a new calculation with passengers and a mandatory fuel reserve.

Capacity and range depend on configuration, payload and flight conditions. A helicopter’s price depends on its equipment and technical condition.
