the FAA’s approval of its fl oat option for the fi ve- person R66. The Turbine Marine is an R66 pop-out fl oat option that uses the same pop-out fl oat tubes as the R44 Clipper fl oat option. Having such fl oats onboard provides the R66 with an extra measure of safety when fl ying over water. The total package weighs about 65 lbs. Meant for emergency water landings, the R66


fl oats are activated by a lever on the pilot’s collective. Using pressurized helium (which is stored in a tank under the R66’s right rear seat) the fl oats infl ate in 2-3 seconds for fast situations. The R66 fl oats are approved for water takeoff s at


reduced operating weights, and for use in training or limited water-based operations. They are stowed in low-profi le protective covers beside the landing gear skids for minimal drag and interference with cabin entry and exit.
