Depends.....on helicopter type and optional equipment installed ( auxillary fuel ) but....
for the most part, small helos (R22 , S-269, Rotorway, R-44) carry about 3hr-4hrs fuel and most cruise at around 100mph (90kts) so around 300-350 statute miles....
Funny enough...the endurance even on larger machines doesn't change too much...
Bell 212 with one aux tank = 1800lbs Jet A...
Burns 600-650lbs/hr....= 3 hrs @100kts..300nm
Similiar endurance for S-76, A-109, ..
Just about 90% of civil helicopters carry between 3-4hrs fuel..

Without being too sarcastic the answer is a little each of the following; Make Model, Weather, Load, but the final answer is about 150' after he runs out of fuel.pp

Everone is different. Look up the R22 helicopter. It and it's sister are the most popular amongst novice helicopter pilots.
