Robinson R22

If you’d like the flexibility of having the R22 on your licence then we can provide the Type Rating in our R22 Beta II.

The 2-seater R22 Beta II is a proven workhorse that has delivered exceptional performance in a variety of applications for over thirty years.

A powder-coated steel tube structure provides a light yet rigid airframe while the aircraft’s aerodynamic fuselage optimises airspeed and fuel economy.

The R22 is powered by Lycoming’s proven O-360 engine that is derated to provide reserve power and better performance at high altitudes and in hot weather.
