Robinson questions, answered

Time remaining, how many of the 2,200 hours (2,000 on the R66) and 12 calendar years are left. It drives the real cost more than model year or total hours, because meeting the limit is a large, scheduled expense.

Always, by an authorized service center working for you, not the seller. A pre-buy verifies the airframe, logbooks, component times, and airworthiness-directive status against what the listing claims.

Through an aviation escrow agent who runs a title and lien search, holds the funds, and files the bill of sale and FAA registration. Never wire a deposit directly to a seller you have not verified.

Three ways: list it with us for brokerage, sell it to us outright, or trade it toward a newer aircraft. Send the model, serial, hours, and condition to start.

It depends on hours, overhaul status, engine and component times, avionics, and condition. We value it against the live market, send the details and we will put a number on it.

Sometimes. Near the limit, the spread between selling it run-out and overhauling first can swing the result significantly. We run that math with you before you decide.

Yes. APEX is an authorized Robinson dealer and service center, with locations at Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) in Florida and Danbury (DXR) in Connecticut.

Airframe and component condition, a logbook and airworthiness-directive review, life-limited component times, and a clear written report you can buy or walk away on.

Call the AOG line. We triage the situation by phone, and as an authorized service center we can recover the aircraft without adding damage, then assess and repair it.

Yes. We recover crashed, grounded, repossessed, and water-stranded Robinsons, rigging only to the factory lift points so the aircraft takes on no further damage.

At 2,200 flight hours or 12 calendar years, whichever comes first, 2,400 hours on the R44 Cadet and 2,000 hours on the R66.

No. The limit is an airworthiness limitation, not a recommendation. The aircraft is grounded until the overhaul is complete.

It is dominated by the major dynamic components, the engine decision, and labor. Parts prices are public in our price list; the all-in figure needs an estimate for your serial number and current aircraft condition.

Start about twelve months out. Kit and engine lead times drive the schedule more than shop time does, so planning early keeps the aircraft flying as long as possible.

Yes, Robinson parts, by request for quote. We do not run an online parts store; send your part numbers or what you need and we will quote it.
