Main trade-off	Modern, safe and refined for training, but two seats and a specialist support network limit broader utility.	A capable two-seat trainer using the R44 platform, but calendar overhaul and component lives dominate economics.	The lowest-cost certified helicopter entry point, but payload, wind tolerance and overhaul economics are restrictive.
