These are three words that describe what has made the two-seat R22 the world's most popular entry-level helicopter for nearly two decades.
The R22 holds major performance records in its weight class including speed and distance. And the latest R22 Beta II is still sensibly priced with the industry's lowest cost of operation.

Advanced Warning Devices.
The instrument
panel includes low fuel warning light, main gearbox
temperature and chip lights, tail gearbox chip light, low
oil pressure light, engine fire light, low voltage alternator
light, low RPM warning light and horn, plus rotor
brake and starter engaged warning lights.
RPM Governor.
No more throttle twisting; precision-
engineered governor automatically controls engine
RPM during all normal operations.
Rotor Brake.
Allows the pilot to stop the rotor
quickly, greatly reducing shutdown time and the risk of
injury to ground personnel or passengers.
Balanced Pistol Grip Cyclic Controls.
Ergonomic
grips incorporate two-position trigger switches
for intercom and transmit. Grips also have buttons for
convenient storing and switching COMM frequencies.
Automatic Clutch Engagement.
Simplifies startup
procedure and reduces the possibility of an overspeed.
Carburetor Heat Assist.
Enhances safety and
reduces pilot workload by automatically adding carb heat
when the collective is lowered and reducing carb heat when
the collective is raised.
Lubrication.
Teflon-lined, elastomeric, and sealed
bearings eliminate most periodic lubrication requirements.
Controls.
Primary controls are actuated by maintenance-
free bellcranks and push-pull tubes, eliminating the
need for control cables and pulleys.
Reliable Engine.
The dependable Lycoming O-360 engine is derated to 131 horsepower for take-off
and 124 for cruise, giving the engine long life and unmatched reliability.
Patented Rotor Design.
Robinson's patented tri-hinge rotor eliminates lag hinges, dampers, and
hydraulic struts. Stainless steel main rotor blades resist corrosion and have thick leading edges to minimize
erosion.
Couplings.
Maintenance-free flexible couplings are used in place of universal joints or gear couplings
in the main and tail drive systems.
Inspections.
No scheduled maintenance other than oil changes are required between 100-hour inspections.
Time-Between-Overhaul.
2200 hours or twelve years approved time-between-overhaul period for
the R22 engine and airframe. All life-limited components have approved service lives of at least 2200
hours.
Easy Ground Handling.
Light
empty weight allows easy manual
ground handling by one person. A
convenient tow cart adaptor is also
provided for use with the Robinson
Electric Tow Cart.
Off Airport Landings.
Highmounted
tail rotor and raised exhaust
provide an added margin of safety at
off-airport destinations.
Two-Bladed Main Rotor.
Requires onlyone-third as much hangar
space as a multi-bladed rotor.
Low Noise Level.
Heavy-duty muffler and low tail rotor tip
speed make the R22 a "community friendly," quiet helicopter. Thick
acoustical foam achieves surprisingly low cabin noise levels.
Ample Baggage Compartments.
Both seats hinge up for
access to concealed storage areas for carry-on bags, briefcases,
supplies, and other belongings. A custom Robinson travel bag is
standard equipment with new R22s.
Heating and Ventilation.
Fresh air vents in the cabin nose and
each door provide generous ventilation for pilot and passenger. The
optional heater distributes heat during cold weather operations.
T-Bar Cyclic. Robinson's patented cyclic design eliminates
uncomfortable stick between knees and eases cabin
entry and exit.
Voice-Activated Intercom Standard.
A high-quality
voice-activated intercom eliminates the need to
use intercom switches during doors-on flights. Floor and
hand intercom switches are included for doors-off operations
Visibility.
Comfortable seating for two with wide,
unobstructed views. Large windows in each door allow
clear sideward visibility from both seats.
