Robinson's 700th R66 turbine has rolled off the production line, five years after the five-place helicopter was FAA certified. Serial number 700 is an R66 Turbine Marine equipped with pop-out floats, and will be delivered to Robinson dealer, Air Technology Belgium. This will be the first Turbine Marine delivered to Europe since EASA approved the float option in October and one of the more than fifty R66s sold to Europe.

Robinson recently added the Garmin G500H flight display, and the Genesys HeliSAS autopilot to the R66 options list. Currently in development are an R66 auxiliary fuel tank and an R66 cargo hook. Both options are projected for release in 2016.

To date, Robinson has approved 120 R66 service centres worldwide, of which seventy-two are dealers.
