About the Tecnam P92 Echo

The Enstrom 280FX Shark is a light three-seat piston helicopter built by Michigan-based Enstrom Helicopter Corporation, a manufacturer with roots stretching back to 1959. The 280 series evolved from the original F-28 design and has remained in production for decades as one of the few American-made piston helicopters still available new. The FX variant introduced a turbocharged Lycoming HIO-360 engine producing 225 horsepower, giving it better high-altitude performance than naturally aspirated competitors while retaining the docile handling characteristics that made earlier 280 models popular trainers.

With a maximum gross weight of 2,600 pounds and a never-exceed speed of 120 knots, the 280FX occupies a niche between two-seat trainers like the Robinson R22 and larger turbine helicopters. Its fully articulated three-blade rotor system provides smooth flight characteristics, and the enclosed cabin offers more weather protection than many light helicopters. Cruise speed is typically around 95 knots with a range of approximately 250 nautical miles, making it suitable for local charter, flight training, and personal transport. The type has found a loyal following among flight schools and private owners who value its stability and relatively spacious cabin for the weight class.

The 280FX remains a fixture at university flight programs and smaller helicopter operators across North America and the Pacific. Its reputation for straightforward maintenance and gentle flight characteristics has kept it competitive in the training market despite newer composite designs. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
