You don't provide enough information to answer that question specifically but I can give you a few probabilities. The possible range of a helicopter varies greatly with engine size, body size, weather and location. In general commercial helicopters can do from two to four hours in the air with a top speed of from 50 to 200 knots (air speed). This gives you an average range of around 200 miles...but like I said, there are many variables and these numbers can change greatlly.
I am referring to the puma helicopter in particular!
1,200 miles or 1,900km for an Apache Attack chopper.
1,952 km, 1,240 miles or1,080 nautical miles : MI-26 Russian heavy lifter
1,216 nm or 1,400 miles or 2,252 km Chinook CH-47

Why is there a fantail in a helicopter?
For the helicopter body to be in balance and direction to steer the helicopter.
Which scientists invented the helicopter?
An engineer, Igor Sikorski, invented the helicopter.
Which African American invented the helicopter?
No African American invented the helicopter. The first practical helicopter was invented by Igor Sikorski, a Russian American.
Which technique is used to avoid injury from flying debris when a helicopter lands?
Face away from the helicopter
How much down force is needed to lift a helicopter?
The same force as the weight of the helicopter and its crew and cargo.
What is the average altitude a helicopter may fly at?
Helicopters fly somewhat close to the ground. They fly near the troposphere. They fly at a lower altitude than planes.
Can a helicopter reach a plane's altitude?
A helicopter cannot reach a plane's altitude because it does not have much lift. No, the air is to thin high up for a helicopter to sustain flight.
Where can one book helicopter flights in the UK?
One may book helicopter flights in the UK through Helicopter Tours London. These flights are fun and provide a unique perspective on all the major historical sites and the landscapes in the UK.
Why causes a helicopter to lose altitude?
there can be any number of reasons for that.
Why does a helicopter lose altitude when flying over a water surface?
A helicopter needs a solid surface to fly over.
What would be data for collecting data in a helicopter experiment?
The helicopter's altitude, distance traveled, speed/rate of travel, etc.
Can helicopters fly into the stratosphere?
Helicopters are not very well suited to high altitude flight. By their very nature helicopters less suited for high altitudes than airplanes or balloons. Additionally, since the most common usages of helicopters deals in short hops or other low-altitude duties, modern helicopters aren't designed with high altitude flight in mind. The stratosphere is generally agreed to start at about 30,000 feet altitude. While this is pretty near to the helicopter altitude record (in 2005 an Ecureuil/AStar AS 350 B3 helicopter landed on Mount Everest (29,035 feet)) This is far higher than the ceiling of the average helicopter (10 to 12,000 feet).
How long is an average helicopter?
What would you call "average". I don't see there is an "average" helicopter, all are different.
Can you fly a helicopter from Florida to the Bahamas?
Helicopters have regular scheduled flights from Florida to Bahamas
When did amelia earhart break the altitude record?
She hit an altitude record for an autogiro, a forerunner of a helicopter- at l8,4l5 feet, this was computed from theodolite observations from the ground.
Why don't they have helicopter flights from city to city?
Because... due to the limited number of passengers a helicopter can carry - it would make each journey prohibitively expensive.
Why can't rescue helicopters fly in low air pressure?
I've never heard that. However, helicopters are limited to the altitude that they can hover, which would limit a Rescue helicopter from picking up a stranded mountain climber. In the high altitude, the air is "thinner" which means the air pressure is less. This limits the effiency of the rotor blades. However, usually the first indication of a problem is when a helicopter tries to hover at high altitude and the tail rotor looses it thurst and the helicopter goes into an uncontrolled spin. This was common with the Bell Model 206B. Even though a helicopter may be limited to the altitude at which it can hover, that does not mean it can't fly at that altitude. If a helicopter maintains a high forward air speed, it can still fly over mountains; its only when it stops and hovers that it may have problems.
