IA-JET

Hello Zeflo,

I have several thousand hours operating both the WW and WW2, although that was quite a few years ago. Great airplane just not much to look at. One of the only aircraft that I know of that doesn't have calendar inspections other than the O2 hydro test and the transponder, pitot static test every 24 months. Normal inspections are 200 hrs A check, 400 hrs B, 200 hrs A, then 800 hrs C. Very reliable, lots of range for an entry level jet just a little slow (.72 to .74 normal cruise). It has heated exterior baggage (not pressurized). Where are you going to be based? Get a good prebuy. Trimech in KFTW (Ft. Worth, Texas USA) is probably the best WW MX facility anywhere. If possible have them do the prebuy and the B and C checks when due. PM if you have any specific questions about the airplane. Good luck.
