Common questions
How many helicopters are registered in North Carolina?
249 manned helicopters hold a valid FAA registration at a North Carolina address in the file dated 14 September 2026, 2 percent of the national fleet. 141 are turbine powered and 108 piston. The address is the registrant's, so a leased or trust-held aircraft can be registered in one state and based in another.
What is the most common helicopter in North Carolina?
Robinson R44, with 42 registered in the state, followed by Airbus H125 / AS350 AStar (19).
How many North Carolina helicopters fly charter?
27 of the 249 helicopters registered in North Carolina appear on an FAA Part 135 certificate, which is the authority an operator needs to carry passengers or cargo for hire. Much of that number is air ambulance and utility work rather than passenger charter.
