Training Aircraft

Our company operates the newest versions of the Robinson Helicopter Company's Aircraft known to be the finest and most technologically advanced light helicopters in the world. The R22 and R44 being fully automated for RPM governing and control correlation. These aircraft operate similar to turbine-powered helicopters. 
In addition, all our aircraft are equipped with state of the art communications and navigation equipment including satellite based GPS color moving map displays. This equipment allows you substantial savings in the time that is allotted to and from a specific location

Robinson R-22 Two Place

Superior performance, outstanding reliability, and exceptional value have made the two-place R22 the world's most popular entry-level helicopter for nearly two decades. More than 3,200 R22 helicopters have been delivered to 60 countries around the globe. The R22 holds every performance record in its class including speed, altitude, and distance. 

For these reasons we at Liberty Aviation Services, Inc feel that the Robinson R-22 helicopter is ideal for helicopter pilot training and charter. The reliable Lycoming O-320 series engine powers the R-22. The 4-cylinder, air-cooled engine produces 160 horsepower but is derated to 124 HP. The R-22 has a maximum speed of 118 MPH and with adequate fuel and two people will cruise at 100 MPH for about 3.5 hours. 

This aircraft is our primary choice for pilot training since the console is easy for both the student and the instructor to access. With its lightweight construction the R-22 is very sensitive on the control touch allowing pilot control skills to quickly develop increasing pilot abilities which greatly aid during transition to other types of helicopters later.

Robinson R-44 Raven Four Place

The R-44 is powered by the reliable Lycoming O-540 series engine. The six-cylinder, air-cooled engine produces 260 horsepower but is derated to 205 (MCO). The R-44 has a maximum speed of 142 MPH.
