The thought of owning your own helicopter is just a dream to many but for those of you that may be looking to have your own rotary limo, there are a few questions on which is the best helicopter to buy. Helicopters are not cheap so getting the right one for you is paramount. The question is there are so many different types of helicopters so which one do you choose?
The best helicopter to buy is the one that is going to suit your usage needs and budget. The Robinson R44 is a popular 4 seat family helicopter, the Leonardo A109 is a popular twin-engine, IFR-capable family or corporate helicopter, and the Sikorsky S76 is a popular luxury VIP all-weather helicopter.
The best helicopter for you may be completely different from the person standing next to you so in this article we are going to look at what it takes to find the best helicopter for you…
What Factors do you Need to Consider for Finding the Best Helicopter?
Just like buying a car, the thought process needs to cover several key areas to help you find the best helicopter to meet and sometimes exceed your requirements. After flying helicopters for decades here are what I would look at if I won the lottery tomorrow and I was about to find the best helicopter for me.
Factors you will need to consider are:
- Budget
- Usage Frequency
- Type of Usage
- Distance to Travel
- Weather Capability
Then you will need to consider:
- Which is the Best Personal Helicopter?
- Which is the Best Helicopter for a Family?
- Which is the Best Helicopter for a Small Business?
- Which is the Best Corporate Helicopter?
- Which is the Best VIP Helicopter?
Let’s take a look at all these factors to see which is the best helicopter to suit your needs…
Budget
Helicopters require a considerable investment in two areas. The first is the initial purchase cost. You can find excellent helicopters in the used market and that can save you a fortune, or if you wish to buy brand new there are a lot of great options also.
The second cost is the helicopter’s ongoing running costs. Fuel, maintenance, overhaul, insurance, hangarage, and landing fees are just a few to name. These will all be calculated into the hourly running cost of the helicopter which will be less the more it’s flown each year.
For an example of the hourly running cost of a Robinson R44 see their guidance sheet below:
Piston-powered helicopters are cheaper to buy and run compared to turbine helicopters, but a turbine helicopter can carry more people. A single-engine helicopter is cheaper to buy and run compared to a twin-engine helicopter but a twin will be able to fly in poor weather.
For a piston-powered helicopter, expect to pay anywhere from $100,000 used to $500,000 new and budget anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to $1000 per flight hour.
For a turbine-powered helicopter, expect to pay anywhere from $500,000 used to $1,000,000 new and budget anywhere from $500 hundred dollars up to several thousand per flight hour.

Usage Frequency
The more hours that a helicopter is flown each year the cheaper it becomes to operate each hour. Helicopter maintenance and its components are based on hours and a calendar. The cost to have those components inspected and replaced will be divided by the hours flown.
For Example:
Looking at the Robinson R44 cost breakdown above, is based on 500 hours flown each year. at 500 hours you would need to budget around $257/hour. If the helicopter only flew 200 hours that hourly cost would be around $295/hour.
If you were thinking of buying a helicopter to fly your family to the cottage and back for half the year and that flight was 1 hour then you would be looking at an annual hourly usage of 2 hours x 25 weekends = 50 hours per year. For the R44 you would have to budget around $370/hour.
A few years ago I was talking with a helicopter broker and he gave me this rough guide for helicopter usage to best maximize a budget. It will vary by helicopter but it looked like this:
Annual Usage of 1-200 hours = Rent or charter the helicopter from a helicopter company
Annual Usage of 200 – 500 hours = Lease the helicopter from a leasing company
Annual Usage over 500 hours = Buy the helicopter

Type of Usage
Depending on what you wish to accomplish with the helicopter will dictate which is the best airframe for you. Do you want a helicopter to fly your family to your properties or take your friends out for dinner or rounds of golf? Do you want to beat the traffic and commute to work and back? Do you need to travel to remote locations to visit customers or clients? Do you want to use it for marketing, PR, or sweetening a business deal?
The number of people you wish to fly at any one time will dictate the size of the helicopter. If you plan on carrying any cargo/baggage will also need consideration. The Robinson R44 can fly the pilot and 3 passengers, but you will not be able to fit in 4 sets of golf clubs!
Just like buying a car – If you have a family of 4 and wish to go on vacation each weekend, buy the SUV. If you wish to beat the traffic by yourself, buy the two-seater sports car. Helicopter selection is the same!
If you need to get to work no matter what the weather then a twin-engine, IFR-capable helicopter like the Agusta/Leonardo A109 or Airbus H135 are great choices. Flying from your home airport to the nearby city airport/heliport is a very popular method for those whose time is precious.
Distance to Travel
Helicopters are nowhere near as fast as an airplane when it comes to going from point A to point B. But if you wish to leave from your home and land anywhere you wish then a helicopter is only the way to go, albeit at a slower speed.
Helicopters are great for journeys under 100nm. Over that, then a plane from airport to airport with a limo ride on each end will generally be faster and cheaper. Helicopters can cover a lot of ground though in a very short space of time, and if the majority of the flights you wish to do are under 100nm then the ease of travel in a helicopter is a no-brainer.
Here is a selection of airspeeds and the time it takes to travel set distances:
| AIRSPEED | DISTANCE 15NM | DISTANCE 30NM | DISTANCE 50NM | DISTANCE 100NM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 kts | 15 min | 30 min | 50 min | 1h40 min |
| 80 kts | 13 min | 23 min | 36 min | 1h15 min |
| 100 kts | 9 min | 18 min | 30 min | 60 min |
| 120 kts | 8 min | 15 min | 25 min | 50 min |
| 150 kts | 6 min | 12 min | 20 min | 40 min |
The speed of the helicopter and the distance you need to travel regularly will help to narrow down the shortlist. Long distances are better suited to the twin, IFR helicopters. Short distances and pleasure flights are best suited to larger single-engine helicopters like the Robinsons or Bells.
Weather Capability
When a good portion of the flights you wish to take involve flying at night or in poor weather, then the best helicopter and safest helicopter will be a twin-engine, IFR-capable airframe.
IFR stands for Instrument Flight Rules and it allows the pilot/s to fly by sole reference to the aircraft instrumentation and under the guidance and oversight of air traffic control. This is how the airlines and corporate jets fly. VFR is when a pilot needs to remain in sight of the ground at all times.
Flying in clouds, fog, or at night in sparsely lit areas causes many aircraft crashes when a pilot is untrained or their aircraft is un-equipped. If the majority of your flying is in a location where fog, cloud, or rain is common and journeys like a commute cannot be affected by weather then this type of helicopter is your best choice.
The unfortunate accident involving Koby Bryant brought this to light. The aircraft was a well-equipped twin-engine, IFR-capable helicopter, but the pilot was not trained to fly IFR. If he had been, the flight would have been uneventful.
If however, you just want to sightsee and fly back and forth for pleasure during the day then any of the helicopters are a great choice.
The more adverse the weather, the more the helicopter is going to cost, along with the training and/or staffing costs
What is the Best Helicopter for Personal Use?
The Robinson R22, Guimbal Cabri G2 & Rotor X A600 Turbo are perfect personal helicopters. Small, economical, fast, and fun to fly are by far the biggest requirements for most pilots seeking a personal helicopter. These two-seat helicopters are perfect for the commute or, pleasure flying or work.
Most personal helicopters are the smaller, and cheaper helicopters as these tend to be most pilots’ first dabble into helicopter ownership. Because of this, budget is usually the main consideration, and these helicopters tick all the boxes for the cheaper end of the market.

What is the Best Corporate Helicopter?
The best corporate helicopter is taken up by the Leonardo A109, Airbus H135, or the Leonardo A169. These helicopters require a healthy budget to buy and run but their capabilities, speed, and seating capacities make them the most popular corporate helicopters in the world.
Most corporate helicopters need to fulfill fast and efficient executive transport without compromise. Having two engines, modern glass cockpits, and all-weather capabilities allow these helicopters to easily transport staff between airports, helipads, and company facilities day or night.

When speed and reliability for the lower end of the Twin-Engine, IFR-capable machines are required, the Leonardo A109 is a perfect choice. For those wishing to spend a little less, the abundance of used 109s available makes this helicopter available to all corporations.
Airbus H135/Eurocopter EC135

Having no conventional tail rotor, this helicopter has become very popular among corporations and private owners who do a lot of yacht-based operations. A spacious baggage hold provides ample room for those golf clubs or suitcases when PR requires, and coupled with two immensely powerful Turbomeca engines gives this helicopter the speed to move passengers efficiently.

Being such a new helicopter to the market the number of used models available is very small. Deals can be found but will take some searching, but if your company is looking for a new purchase or leasing option and you are needing to move passengers in luxury then this helicopter is for you.
What is the Best VIP Helicopter?
The best VIP helicopter is split between the Airbus H155, Leonardo AW139, and Sikorsky S92. When convenience and ultimate luxury are the highest priority these machines fulfill every need. These helicopters begin at around $10M and go up, but if money is of no concern, then these fit the bill.
To the wealthy, the addition of a helicopter to their list of assets is the ultimate show of wealth, however, these helicopters need to save the owners time and provide convenience at the highest levels. Moving from the private jet to a helicopter to fly you off to a property, yacht, or country club is the only way to travel.
Sikorsky S76
| Price New: | $10M |
| Price Used: | $600,000 – $8M |
| # of Seats: | 14 |
| Engine Type: | 2x Gas Turbine |
| Cruise Speed: | 150 kts |
| Typical Endurance: | 3 – 3.5 Hours |
The original ultimate VIP helicopter. Since its first flight in 1977, the S76 has gone through seven upgrades over the years to increase its power, safety, and avionics culminating in the D Model taking flight in 2012. The original designer wanted the helicopter’s lines to flow and make it look sexy which created huge challenges for the mechanical engineers!
In the original A model, the flight controls all converged into a mechanical mixing unit which is mounted above the cabin roof and it is pure wizardry and an engineering masterpiece. Apparently, the mechanical engineer who solved this design problem went clinically insane by the time he accomplished it, and if I can ever find a video ill be sure to post it!
When configured for VIP the cabin can seat any number from 4 – 8 seats in the utmost luxury. Coupled with a fast cruise and all-weather capabilities this was the VIP ‘Top Dog’ for decades. Now it has some stiff competition, but the S76 will always remain as the all-time VIP TrailBlazer.
Leonardo/Agusta Westland AW139
| Price New: | $15M |
| Price Used: | $5M – $13M |
| # of Seats: | 14 |
| Engine Type: | 2x Gas Turbine |
| Cruise Speed: | 155 kts |
| Typical Endurance: | 3 – 3.5 Hours |
Primarily designed to take on the offshore oil and gas market the AW139 soon found its way to the top of the VIP helicopter list. This helicopter was a leap of faith for the Agusta Helicopter company which originally teamed up with Bell but then moved over to partner with Westland to finish the design you see today.
This gamble paid off as the 139 is one of the most used offshore transport and VIP helicopters all over the world. It’s the fastest in its class and I can tell you that at 155knots it’s as smooth as silk and has incredible power. Its VIP interior allows its passengers any bells and whistles they like as the power this helicopter produces is insane.
Its large cargo hold goes from one side of the helicopter to the other just behind the main cabin and when configured for VVIP it can seat between 4 – 8 passengers in some of the most stunning interiors I have ever seen.
One major selling factor is its Anti-Icing technology making this a true all-weather capable helicopter and the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics make this helicopter a breeze to pilot – To this day it’s my favorite helicopter I have ever flown!
Sikorsky S92
| Price New: | $27M |
| Price Used: | $5M – $25M |
| # of Seats: | 21 |
| Engine Type: | 2x Gas Turbine |
| Cruise Speed: | 150 kts |
| Typical Endurance: | 3 – 3.5 Hours |
When the world’s 1% want the ultimate VVIP helicopter the Sikorsky S92 is the only machine to fit the bill. Mainly designed for carrying 19 passengers out to offshore oil rigs and back, this helicopter provides the biggest cabin of any VIP helicopter.
It can be fitted with sofas, reclining chairs, pull-out beds, a galley, and even a toilet! The budget and imagination is the only thing that can get in the way of providing the customer with their dream helicopter. Due to its high price and heavyweight, there are not that many S92s flying in the VIP configuration but those that are are some of the most stunning examples of what money can buy.
The S92 also comes with an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) to allow the helicopter to be ready to go and have the cabin’s climate set perfectly to the clients’ request. This allows the rotors to be stationary while boarding but gives a quick startup to be underway in minutes.
The rear of the helicopter has a drop-down door that reveals a cargo bay capable of carrying over 1000lbs of baggage or can be kitted out as a gun rack with a whiskey/champagne bar as I saw on my last visit to an S92VIP.
