How do you get past the affordability of the R44?
How do I pursuade the company that I'm working for to step up into a turbine aircraft? I am currently flying a Robinson R44 Raven II for them. The biggest issue to overcome is affordablility of the Robinson.
I work for a small industrial real estate development company. They use the aircraft to fly the COEs to different marketing conventions they hold. They also use the aircraft to fly their Sales people to meetings, and Maintance personal to their warehouses. Like so many other small companies they would like me to arrange the occasional helicopter ride or powerline patrol to help off set the costs of the helicopter.
Personally I think the EC 120 would be the best fit for this company. But I dont know how to get to justify the expense.
I would greatly appriciate any professional advice available!
