Collective-Activated Hour Meter Reduces Operating Costs For R22 Beta II

Records Only Actual Flight Time

Robinson Helicopter Company Inc. announced today that a collective-activated hour meter along with an updated hub and redesigned main rotor spindles are standard on all new R22 Beta II helicopters.

Previously, the R22 used an oil-pressure-activated meter which records all engine run time. The new collective activated meter records collective-up (flight) time and does not include engine warm up and cool down time.

The new meter and redesigned spindles benefit R22 buyers because the collective-activated meter can extend component lives by up to 12% and the redesigned spindles are not subject to repetitive dye-penetrant inspections.

To upgrade existing R22s to include the collective-activated hour meter, see Robinson R22 Service Letter SL-67.
