Unfortunately for us were on our 5th PDA, 2 FQPM, , 2nd window , 4th spoiler actuator, 2nd crossfeed valve, major paint/composite repair .

Its is rocketship, perhaps second hand values will rise slightly with the news that;s about as much as I can see.

Our owner decided to sell, you just cant fly around with major problems kicking off like this - that said I have enjoyed the bird somewhat frustrating at times though, never flown such a temperamental aeroplane. Still light fuel load we take and pax 10 -12 degrees 250kTS at this time of year and we regularly see 6500+ft per min...so from this side its superb.

All the best and happy new year and god save us all for operators and owners of HA4t's alike!
