Things to look at

Worth asking the seller and your pre-buy mechanic about. None of these is a conclusion about the aircraft.

  • No annual found for 2017

    Annuals found 2016-06-14 and 2018-06-14. Ask whether a logbook or loose pages are missing, and whether the plane flew in between.

  • Tach went from 2369.2 (2013-11-20) to 1302.6 (2014-06-02)

    A tach replacement is written up nearby; check the totals carry across.

  • Fuel selector valve AD: no compliance entry found

    It may be complied with but unrecorded, or recorded in a book not provided. Ask your mechanic to check.

  • Oil analysis is mentioned 6 times, but no reports were provided

    Ask the seller for copies.

This report summarizes the maintenance records provided and lists what they contain and what we could not find. It is not an inspection of the aircraft and not a determination of airworthiness or regulatory compliance. Only an appropriately certificated mechanic or inspector examining the aircraft can make that determination. Weight-and-balance figures are not transcribed; see the signed weight-and-balance report. Prepared with Avinari from the owner’s records.
