Description
This 1981 Bell 206 JetRanger offers the stability, reliability and versatility the type is known for worldwide. Maintained to commercial standards and stored in a climate-controlled hangar, it comes equipped with a utility hook and an optional custom spray system, making it well suited to both private flying and professional utility work. History: The aircraft was involved in a rollover on August 23, 1984 at 1,026.6 hrs AFTT. The fuselage and tailboom were repaired by Helipro Corporation International (FAA Repair Station IPOR109L, WO# 1315), including a rebuilt upper cabin roof beam repaired under TC STC SH03-47 / FAA STC SR00071NY. All dynamic components and the engine came from a donor aircraft with full documentation, and the aircraft was completed in 2008. The repair work report is available on request.

See prices & suppliers ›No autopilot is listed — a GFC 500 (or S-TEC 3100 / Trio Pro Pilot where the GFC isn't STC'd) adds a modern digital autopilot with envelope protection, subject to model approval.
See prices & suppliers ›No ADS-B is listed — a GTX 345 delivers required ADS-B Out plus In (traffic & weather) in one transponder.
