Schweizer 300C: Overview
Around the world, wherever there's a need for an exceptional, light utility helicopter, you'll find the Schweizer Model 300C. Considered the world's most versatile piston-powered helicopter, the 300C is capable, dependable, and economical. Its heritage and credentials are extraordinary. The Model 269 Series helicopters, (including the piston-powered Model 300C and 300CBi and the turbine-powered 333) have been in series prodcution since the mid-1960's. Nearly 3,000 269 Series helicopters have been produced.

The 300C is a proven performer. No other piston-powered helicopter has the 300C's unique combination of flight handling characteristics, payload capacity, range, and endurance. Powered by a Lycoming HIO-360-D1A 190 horsepower engine, the Model 300C delivers exceptional performance. It can carry 950 pounds of payload and cruise at 99mph. With an auxiliary fuel tank, the 300C has a range of 365 miles and endurance of 5.5 hours.

The 300C is the cost-effective answer for a wide range of applications. Its spacious cabin and 360 degree visibility make the 300C ideal for law enforcement and other airborne patrol requirements. Combine the 300C's outstanding flight stability and maneuverability with doors-off operation and you have the perfect aerial platform for photography and powerline inspection. And with its excellent load carrying capability, the 300C is a natural for agricultural spraying, cargo transport, and personal transportation.

Its outstanding maneuverability, responsive controls and cost-effective operation have made it the world's standard in the demanding military training environment. Twenty-five countries around the world have chosen 269 Series helicopters for military training. It has been proven successful in the harshest of climates and at extremes of temperature and altitude. The 300C's rugged design is legendary. Many Model 300C helicopters have operated for more than 20,000 flight hours.

The Model 300C's versatility is further multiplied with a wide range of available optional equipment. Optional equipment is available so the 300C can perform numerous and diverse roles including:

• Cargo hook for lift work and agricultural roles
• Instrument training package for IFR instruction
• Infrared and searchlights for law enforcement patrol
• Ag-kit for aerial application
• Throttle governor for turbine-like flight operation
• Cargo rack for cargo transport
• Float kit for over-water operations

There is more to the 300C than versatility.There are thirty years of design evolution, innovative safety enhancements, and Schweizer Aircraft's uncompromising standards for quality, performance, and customer support.

Commitment To Safety
Above all else, the 300C is designed for operational safety. That philosophy is paramount at Schweizer and is the driving force behind the company's ongoing commitment to continuous product improvement. Proof of that commitment is evident in the logs of nearly 3,000 production helicopters ... logs that reflect millions of safe flight hours. It's also evident in lower insurance rates for owners, an important reflection of the Model 300C's outstanding safety record.

Key safety features inherent in the design of the Model 300C include:

• Energy-absorbing fuselage structure and seats - reduces g-factors experienced by occupants in event of crash
• Fuel tanks with break-free design placed outside the basic structure for increased protection from fire hazard
• Three-bladed, fully articulated rotor system to eliminate the possibility of mast bumping
• Strategic placement of the engine for a low center of gravity
• Design that maintains cabin integrity and prevents rotor blade impingement.

Maximize Profits With Minimal Maintenance
The 300C is designed to maximize your profits by keeping operating costs low. Schweizer Aircraft stands behind new aircraft and spare parts with a warranty that is among the industry's best. The 300C is fuel-efficient and dependable in the toughest of applications. All components meet Schweizer's strict quality standards and are engineered for minimum maintenance. A remotely - mounted oil filter permits a 50-hour oil change schedule. Dual large oil coolers reduce operating temperatures, especially in warm climates. To reduce downtime, the engine, drive clutch, main and tail rotor transmissions and rotor systems are all independent units that are easily accessible and quickly replaced. And the one-piece upper pulley spline shaft permits benchtop maintenance. The end result: reduced maintenance hours, more flight hours and higher profits.

Value
Not only is the Model 300C cost-effective in terms of acquisition and direct operating cost; but historically, it has always held a high residual value. That makes the 300C a good investment.

It is true. The more you know, the better you'll like the Model 300C. It stands apart from all other piston helicopters in terms of performance, versatility, cost effectiveness and safety. Make the right choice.
