Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N723BG, is a Sikorsky S-76D with manufacturer serial number 761019. The build year is Not published in the provided data; the current recorded owner is Bristow U S LLC, a corporation based in New Iberia, LA, US. The helicopter carries a United States registration (US) and is recorded as part of Bristow’s corporate fleet; registration and ownership are operator‑level actions noted in the registry. Condition and market valuation details for this specific airframe are Not published.
The cabin for this Sikorsky S-76D is configured to support typical offshore and VIP operations with layouts accommodating up to 12 passengers; specific arrangement varies by operator and can range from dense offshore seating to executive club seating for VIP transport. Avionics fit is operator‑specified and may include Thales‑ or Honeywell‑class systems depending on fleet options and mission needs. Operating from Bristow’s base in New Iberia, LA, US, the airframe is optimized for medium‑range offshore shuttle missions, search and rescue readiness, and corporate transport within its 441 nm range and 155 kts cruise profile. Maintenance planning follows corporate fleet practices, with systems and cabin variability reported as operator‑dependent.
The Sikorsky S-76D occupies a performance niche between light twins and larger medium twin helicopters, offering a balance of passenger capacity (up to 12) and range (441 nm) suited to offshore and executive roles. Competing platforms include other medium‑class turbine helicopters that target oil‑and‑gas shuttle and VIP charter markets; buyer demand typically favors proven engine and avionics combinations such as the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW210S and operator‑specified Thales/Honeywell packages. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on operator configuration choices and documented maintenance history, both critical given the fleet/operator‑dependent avionics and cabin variability.
