Inside this volume

Known issues & a pre-buy guide

The documented weak points for this exact type, the airworthiness directives and service bulletins that bite, and what a pre-buy should catch.

Full specifications

Every published figure, engine and airframe detail, weights, and performance data, with the conflicts flagged, not guessed.

Systems & maintenance

Powerplant, fuel, electrical, and airframe, plus inspection intervals and the operating numbers that keep it flying.

Parts, shops & type club

Where the parts are, what cross-references, and the type clubs and owner groups that keep the fleet in the air.

Custom Edition

Make it your aircraft.

We fold in your year, your engine and avionics, your mods and STCs, your registration, and your own aircraft's photo on the cover. The book stops describing the type that left the factory and starts describing the one in your hangar.
