	Robinson R44
		Robinson's R44 is probably the best helicopter in the world for personal ownership and it might also be the best helicopter for primary training.
		Robinson uses a Lycoming O-540 engine in the R44 Raven I. The internal geometry and compressions of this engine are identical to a 260-horsepower engine for an airplane.
		The R44 has two fuel gauges, one for the aux and one for the main tank; there is no way to switch between tanks and it would be nice if these quantities were electrically combined to reduce pilot workload.

		The Staten Island Railway's 64 R44 type cars are modified to FRA standards for passenger equipment running on a freight road.

	Robinson R44 Helicopter
		Although the R44 is often billed as a direct replacement to the Bell Jet Ranger, and the MD 500 (which it is in come cases), it is not an equal.
		Due to the fact that the R44 had only been in production for 4 years, they had not logged any appreciable number of flight hours to be compared to helicopters that were literally logging more than a million flight hours every single year.
		At the conclusion of the R44 training, the instructor pilot from Robinson Helicopters issued the pilot a certificate of training after finding that the pilot's performance was satisfactory to fly the R44 as a 2-place helicopter for at least 50 initial hours.

	Philip Greenspun’s Weblog » Robinson R44 Review drafted
		We have 4-pointers in the Cirrus and they are certainly no better than 3-point for turbulence and probably worse (harder to keep snug around the waist).
		If you are a reasonably prudent person, you are not going to get into turbulence severe enough to hit your head in an R44.
		If you stick in your local airport’s prices for fuel and multiply everything else by 1.3, you probably get to a reasonable number (and then add $30,000 for when someone sticks the tail rotor into a tree).

		It is not surprising that the Robinson R44 has become the best-selling helicopter in the world.
		The four-seat, 2,400-pound R44 is also one of the lightest helicopters on the market, which makes it relatively easy to operate—a significant consideration because many R44 owners pilot their own aircraft.
		And the helicopter’s safety record is among the best in the industry; its Lycoming 6-cylinder engine is less prone to failure than many other helicopter engines because it does not continually operate at full power while the helicopter is in the air.
