Gap detected: 2024-02-27 to 2024-06-23

One or more potential indicators of a serious maintenance incident are present in flight logs: disruption to typical flight patterns followed by flight profiles consistent with test flights or maintenance ferry activities. These signals are not conclusive evidence of damage and can have benign explanations — a gap may reflect weather, inspection scheduling, or legitimate maintenance — but the post-gap flight signatures warrant asking the seller directly. Contact support for a detailed extract of flight records (automated report coming soon).

Specific signals: Post-gap signals detected: test flight, ferry flight, utilization dip ✓, non-home departure ✓.

Baseline rate is the average monthly flight count before the dormancy gap. Activity spike is the new rate immediately after the gap ended (the 30-day window starting when flights resumed), divided by the baseline. A 4× multiplier means the aircraft flew 4 times as frequently in the post-gap month as it did in the pre-gap months. This pattern — extended dormancy followed by a recent, sharp spike — can indicate the aircraft was grounded pending sale and then flown frequently to demonstrate utility to prospective buyers.

This aircraft is based in FL — a coastal/humid climate. The longest recorded dormancy gap is 117 days, which exceeds the 75-day flag threshold for this region.

Salt air and high humidity accelerate corrosion of fuel systems, control cables, brake calipers, and pitot-static components. Extended outdoor or unheated storage in coastal states carries meaningfully higher deterioration risk than in drier climates.
