Flights by month

Analyzed Dataset covers 193 flights from 2023-05-22 to 2026-05-11 (36 months).

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 ✓.
Heavy training pattern not detected
Flight utilization is consistent with normal operations. Short-return flight density does not indicate intensive training use.
'Flown-to-sell' pattern not detected
Activity history shows consistent operational patterns without the dormancy-followed-by-spike signature.
Geo-contextual dormancy
Dormancy threshold exceededThis 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.

Bring this checklist to your inspection and ask for objective evidence in the airframe, engine, propeller, and logbooks.

Operational readiness and decision gate
Logbook review. Annual inspections, 100-hour inspections, AD compliance, engine SMOH/TBO, and equipment service history live in the aircraft logbooks and are not included in this report.
Hands-on inspection. Compression checks, gear rigging, control surface play, and corrosion assessment require a qualified A&P/IA with the aircraft in hand. This report is the homework before the inspection.
Title and lien search. Verify ownership, encumbrances, and clear title through Aerospace Reports or your aviation attorney.
Unreported damage. Minor events that didn’t trigger an NTSB report may exist in the logbooks and aren’t visible here.
Every datum in this report is traceable to one of these sources. Disputes about an entry should be addressed to the source agency — we report what those sources publish.
This report is a research aid based on public records. It is not a substitute for a pre-buy inspection by a qualified A&P/IA mechanic. It does not constitute legal, financial, or airworthiness advice.
The presence of incidents does not indicate a problem. The absence of findings does not guarantee airworthiness. Aircraft history reports inform decisions — they don’t replace them.
