The R22 is mainly used for training yes but in Australia it is also one of the main heli's used for airial mustering and the largest fleet of R22 helicopters in Australia is owned by a Cattle station my mate flew for him last season and it is dangerous work (but great fun).But not as bad as your making out but agree not the best.The MD520 is still one mechine that im keen on. I trained on R22, R44 now fly R66 ,Bell 206 jetranger/longranger and a AS350BA doing traiing on a AS355 twinstar

@Norgesmann I see what your getting at, but I think the reason why the R22 has an such an horrible track record is because there are a lot of them flying in the world today. And they are used almost exclusively for training which is an environment more prone to accidents and incidents.

@CrazyAirshipNut The R22 has an awful track record because the rotor system, in laymens terms, sucks. In an engine failure you will have to lower the collective in less than 1,2 SECONDS, if you don´t, you will not be able to recover and have a blade stall on your ass.
For the record, I trained in the R22, R44 and I now fly EC155-b1.

damn thats low... it looks like it was grazing the grass/field! MH-6? little bird?

this looks more like the cockpit of an ultra-light than a helicopter. But what do i know? lol
-
Yeah we used to rave an R22 Beta, now we have an R44. The R22 was way to small though!

Not an Apache, it's a Robinson R22. Little bitty toy powered by a couple of chipmunks in a cage. The R22 has the worst safety record of small helicopters not because of the helicopter itself but the idiots who fly them like this. The R22 is not a performance helo, but a dinky little trainer. If your going to fly like this, get a real helo like an MD520, or a Bell 430, or an HH65A Dauphin.
