R44 Clipper I Fixed Utility Floats

We also operate the R44 Clipper I with Fixed Floats:

80 kts VNE Placard - this is for R44's Clippers with POP OUT Floats, not fixed floats.

120 knots is VNE of Fixed Floats, subject to weight and also reducing with temp and alt. Get the R44 POH, Section 9-5 is the Fixed Float Supplememnt, Placard that should be shown is there (Section 2: 9-5.3). These are the VNE's you should use.

Unusable Fuel 7 Galls?
R44 POH Section 2 gives Fuel Limits (2-6)
Main Unusable is 1 US Gallon
Aux Unusable is 0.2 US Gallon
Total Unusable is 1.2 US Gallon

Are you confusing the "minimum landing fuel" which is normally around 7 US Gallons?

Cheers Jonny
