The 480B is an honest machine designed with an all mechanical control system, wide robust landing including oleo struts, unrestricted tail rotor system and many more features that create an extremely safe aircraft enabling the students to focus on flying.

The roomy cabin allows for an integrated observer seat. This integrated observer seat enables the students to be fully engaged throughout the training mission maximizing their time in the aircraft.

Identical flight controls are provided to the student as well as the IP. The instructor has the ability to reclaim controls quickly for safer training.

Full engine controls are also provided on each collective—starts can be accomplished or actively monitored from either pilot seat.

We have been proudly building helicopters in Menominee, Michigan for over 60 years, maintaining a strong tradition of American manufacturing. With 99% of our suppliers based in the United States, our helicopters are truly Made in America. Our highly vertically integrated production process allows us to maintain tight control over quality, reduce downtime for maintenance, and ensure exceptional parts availability. Designed with minimal life-limited components, Enstrom helicopters offer reliable performance and long-term value.

Our highly trained team of sales, maintenance, and service professionals are always ready to help. Reliable, readily available parts and low aircraft downtime allow you to spend more time in the air.

Our main rotor and tail rotor blades are on condition, no life limits on airframe and a minimal amount of parts that require overahaul. 

Our engineers and designers have been on the forefront of safety and innovation since the first helicopter came off our assembly line. And ever since we’ve been perfecting the many safety features on board every helicopter, resulting in Enstrom being named one of the safest aircraft for nearly three decades.
