    Engine log 2 opens with the overhaul and modification by Ultimate aircraft engines.  Gami injectors were installed and the engine was mapped and dynamically balanced.  The last entry was made for an oil change on 8/29/2009.

    The prop log only has two entries.  The first is on 6/26/1996 for the installation on the aircraft.  The last entry was the annual inspection on 11/14/2008.

            
Maintenance Status

Maintenance Inspection Date:  11/14/2008    On Progressive Inspection:  No

Comments:  Reading through the logs, it appears that the aircraft has been well maintained throughout its life.  There is one gap in the logs where 800 hours is unaccounted for.  The aircraft was based in Fresno, California until 2001 when the airplane was moved to Florida.  There are signs of a corrosion treatment, but the aircraft still has many small spots of corrosion.  All preventative maintenance and general servicing have been completed and is well documented.

Time Life Limited Systems:  No     Cycle Life Limited Systems:  No

Comments:  

Service Bulletin Status:  Some service bulletins have been complied with.

AD's Complied With:  No    Estimated Cost for AD's Compliance:  $1000

Tires Condition:  Good    Type Brakes:  Cleveland    Anti-Skid:  No

Exterior Paint Condition:  Good

Repaint Date:  N/A        Repainted By:  N/A

Comments:  

    The paint on this aircraft still has a shine and looks good from a short distance.  Upon closer inspection, there are many small spots of corrosion and dings in the paint. On the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer you can see where there was either corrosion or paint erosion that was treated and then repainted.  There are a few dings and dents on the airframe as well, but no evidence of any substantial damage.  The wing root seals are old and worn with cracking and tears easily visible.  The leading edge of the bottom right wing root seal is coming loose from the airframe.  They will need replacement soon.  The paint on the belly is worn and dirty. The paint is heavily eroded behind the exhaust pipes due to normal use.  The step has spots where the non skid is missing and the wing walk nonskid is well worn.  There is not a log entry for a repaint of the aircraft, assume that the aircraft has not been repainted.

Interior Condition:  Good        Cabin Configuration:  Passenger

Cockpit Condition:  Good        Panel Layout:  Average

Pressurized Cabin:  No        Window Condition:  Average


Comments:  

    The interior is average for the age.  Seats have been recovered and are in good condition, but there are no log entries or burn paperwork. Because the seat recovering has not been documented the IA that inspects the aircraft may require the seat's materials be burn tested, if they fail the test, the IA will declare the seat coverings as illegal and un-airworthy.  This will requrire recovering will cost between 500 and 700 dollars per seat dependent upon the types of material used.  The rest of the interior is worn in traffic areas and there are some minor damage spots to the armrests and sidewalls.  The aft bulkhead also has black marks from where stuff has been put into the cargo area.  The headliner is a little dingy with age but has no tears or fraying.  The carpet has signs of wear in traffic areas but has no damage either.
