If it has done 2200 hours then I would say definitely no. If it has done 12 years but less than 2200, the Austrian Authorities allow the remaining hours up to the 2200 to be flown as long as the mr/tr blades are changed and a few other small components. That said there few people I know that would do this, myself included. The spec is there for a reason and whether 100 miles or 1 mile a component failure in the air isn't going to be much fun for the occupants of the R44 or the possible people on the ground.
