Costs/Categories N reg Robinson R22/44
Need some help and advice. Currently own a R22 on G reg and do around 40/50 hours per annum. Now I don’t want to get into the argument about renting vs owning as I like the fact that I can walk out my farm and fly whenever I like, so.....I am thinking of upgrading to a R44 and wondered what currently would be the advantage, if any, of moving to the N reg. Since I only got privately is there a different category I could have the Heli in, do N reg have “ARC’s” and 6 monthly (for me 20 hours) services. So any advice or ideas of costs for a 22 or 44 would be really helpful. As I said, don’t want to get involved in the own vs rent. Thanks guys and gals. |
Well you may find it cheaper to insure on the N register as there is no 12% insurance premium tax...

Just make sure you factor in all the costs before jumping to the N reg. The costs of maintaining the Trust can rack up: essentially, a non-US citizen cannot own a helicopter registered in the USA,so it has to be owned by a Trust registered in Delaware and companies set up to do this, charge you for the privilege. Get a quote from someone like Heritage.
I would be surprised if it made sense to transfer an a/c from EASA reg to the N and then run it. If you are thinking of importing from the USA, it might be different. |

Whilst there is no Robinson requirement for a 6 monthly there are Lycoming requiremetns for a 4 monthly oil change Lycoming SB480E. Do you already have an engineer in mind who has an FAA License or will you also need to look for a new engineer?
