“The R66 certainly gives us better high-altitude performance, plus the opportunity for a greater payload when we carry additional talent or passengers. “About half of our TV station customers have elected to use the R66 turbine-engine news helicopter, and the other half fly in the piston-engine R44 news helicopter,” says SKY Helicopters President Ken Pyatt. Besides Robinson Helicopter sales and services, SKY Helicopters coordinates aerial video operations for local news networks. SKY Helicopters is a longtime Robinson Helicopter dealer based in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The R66 Turbine Newscopter received FAA certification in July 2017. Configuring the helicopter for news-gathering was the logical next step. The R66’s enthusiastic market reception spurred Robinson Helicopter to look for even more customers. Since that date, the aircraft has logged more than 1.2 million global flight hours. The R66 received FAA certification in October 2010, and Robinson Helicopter began customer deliveries shortly thereafter. Like Robinson Helicopter’s smaller R44 and R22 models, Frank Robinson wanted the R66 to deliver better and more economical performance than its competitors. The company’s engineers designed the R66 to carry five people while providing cargo space. Founder Frank Robinson began designing the R66 turbine-powered aircraft in 2001 when he saw a need to replace the aging Bell Jet Ranger helicopter. Robinson Helicopter’s R66 Newscopter is based on the highly successful R66 helicopter model.
