Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific rotorcraft registered as N997RS, a Bell 222 built by Bell Helicopter (Bell Helicopter Textron) with serial number 47025. Build year and detailed ownership timeline are not published in the supplied data; no public registry actions or transfers are provided. The aircraft is listed with a US registration and the available records supplied do not include valuation or condition notes. Operational provenance, operator/home base and any notable maintenance events are not published in the provided dataset.
The airframe is equipped with a cabin configuration consistent with typical executive layouts accommodating 4–6 passengers, while it is certificated for up to 9 passengers plus pilot, giving flexibility between executive transport and higher-density passenger missions. Specific avionics fit, interior finish level and bespoke amenities for N997RS are not published in the provided data; maintenance status and equipment lists are likewise not available. Typical mission profiles for this individual airframe, inferred from its range of 282 nm and cruise speed of 132 kts, would include short-to-medium regional executive hops, charter work, and utility transfers from a US base. Operator-specific route patterns, unique cabin appointments, and any special maintenance considerations for this serial number are not published in the supplied information.
As a member of the Bell 222 family manufactured by Bell Helicopter (Bell Helicopter Textron), this airframe is powered by twin Lycoming LTS101-series turboshafts each producing 620 lbf, positioning it in a light twin executive rotorcraft niche with seating capacity up to 10 and a service ceiling of 12,800 ft. The combination of modest cruise speed (132 kts) and a 282 nm range aligns the type for short regional executive and light charter roles rather than long-distance transport. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific serial (47025) will depend heavily on undocumented items such as time-since-overhaul, component logs and interior condition, which are not published in the provided dataset.
