Engine Time (TSO): approx. 1,576 hours
Configuration: Suitable for training, charter, or private operations
Maintenance & Airworthiness

Calendar-based components largely valid until 2034–2035
Engine:

Why This Aircraft Stands Out
✔ 2200h / 12-year overhaul already completed (major value factor)

✔ Professionally maintained under CAMO
✔ Ideal for flight schools or commercial operators
✔ Transparent technical status — no hidden surprises

Predictable maintenance planning
Solid remaining life on key components
Immediate usability (after routine maintenance items)
