  • Owner's Maintenance Statement: "Everything on the plane works: There is nothing on this plane that is currently in need of repair or replacement. When the interior was redone in 2006, we took it down to the skin. Everything was inspected, and anything that was not working was replaced or repaired. Even the flooring in the plane was replaced. There was no evidence of any corrosion. New everything in the interior at that time with the exception of the seat belt buckles which were polished. The avionics and panel were completely redone at the same time. In September 2008, I had everything checked out, including a pitot-static test, installation of new batteries, and even had the gear swung and pressures checked."
