The R44 CADET is a versatile two-place helicopter ideally suited for flight schools and operators that want the economy of a small helicopter but desire the comfort, power and performance of a larger helicopter.

PROVEN RELIABILITY
The Cadet retains the same basic airframe, rotor system, and Lycoming O-540-F1B5 engine as the proven R44 Raven I except the rear seats have been removed and the aft compartment reconfigured for cargo.

BETTER PERFORMANCE
Maximum gross weight is 998 kg (2200 lb). Engine power is derated to 210 hp take off/185 hp continuous. The lower weight and derated power provide increased performance margins at high altitudes and lengthen the time between overhaul (TBO) to 2400 hours. With a newly designed muffler, the Cadet’s flyover noise is more than three decibels lower than the original R44 Raven I.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
A variety of equipment including air conditioning, autopilot, and avionic packages for VFR or IFR training are available.
