N147BJ

Overview

This airframe, tail number N147BJ, is a 2023-built Robinson R66 with serial number 1213. The helicopter is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Ramair Enterprises LLC of Wilmington, DE, US.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin layout on this airframe follows the standard R66 five-place configuration: 1 pilot + 4 passengers (standard R66 five-place layout), providing straightforward seating for small private or corporate missions. Powered by a single Rolls-Royce RR300 turbine, the airframe’s performance envelope supports short to medium-range point-to-point flights, private transport, and light utility or charter work within a roughly 350 nm mission radius at an economy cruise near 110 kts. Based from its owner’s Wilmington, Delaware address, typical operations would center on northeast U.S. corridors, day-VFR or IFR flights within the helicopter’s service ceiling of 14,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on standard Robinson airframe cycle items and single-engine RR300 inspections and timelines as applied to new-production R66 examples.

Model & Market Context

The Robinson R66 occupies a light piston/turbine rotorcraft niche, offering a single-turbine, five-seat configuration that competes with light turbine helicopters from other manufacturers for private owners and small charter operators. With a cruise speed of about 110 kts and range near 350 nm, the model is sought for cost-conscious operators seeking turbine reliability in a compact platform.
