Key Takeaways:

Schweizer has launched an "OEM Certified Helicopters Program" for its S300CBi models, offering certified pre-owned rotorcraft at a more affordable price than new ones.
The program involves extensive inspection, repair, and replacement of key components like engines, blades, and interiors, categorizing aircraft as either "refreshed" (minor repairs) or "refurbished" (major overhauls).
This initiative allows customers to trade in older Schweizers and provides a one-year/1,000-hour warranty on parts replaced or repaired, aiming to revitalize the existing fleet.
