FEATURES & REMARKS

• Aircraft location: Hangared at Chicago Executive Airport

• We helped the current owner purchase N445DC in May, 2007 after its renovation. As part of the purchase then, we had ProAv of New Philadelphia, OH complete an extensive pre-purchase inspection using the Cessna Pilots Assn. checklist contained in their highly-recommended book, The Cessna 182 Buyer's Guide; any defects identified were repaired. Now, only 45 hours later, it's had a complete annual inspection by Executive Service Center, a well-respected shop in Chicago.
