REDUCED PRICE
Equipment
The current owner purchased this aircraft from Bristow Helicopters in 2003, so it has only had 2 careful owners!!
The aircraft was in excellent mechanical condition when he purchased it, as you would expect from a Bristow’s machine - (you could eat your breakfast out of the engine bay it was so clean!)
He carried out a complete exterior, interior, and avionics refit before flying it later in 2003.
This Jet Ranger has fabulous component times and benefits from the Zero Time overhauls carried out last year to the Main transmission, Tail rotor transmission, and Blade, swash plate, and freewheel units, Starter generator, Bleed Valve, plus most of the flight instruments.
Since Jan 2008 when all this work was completed the aircraft has flown virtually faultlessly for a total of 414 hrs
In May 2004, following an overtemp incident while on charter, the aircraft underwent a complete turbine overhaul, at the insurers expense! The zero timed turbine was rebuilt using all 4 new wheels. This turbine I am told is still producing above spec power and has only completed 670 hours TSN.
The aircraft is offered on low skids, but we have a set of high skids, and pan floats, and double wheel ground handling wheels available at an additional price if required.
The avionics were upgraded a few years ago, when the helicopter was purchased in 2003, with new King equipment.
A great helicopter that has been fastidiously maintained and really stands out in a hangar of similar (and more expensive) helicopters.
