All of our aircraft are extremely well maintained. Every year, each aircraft is nearly dismantled and inspected, any discrepancies, which are few, are immediately repaired. In addition to this yearly annual inspection, each aircraft has the same inspection done every 100 hours time in service. Between 100 hour inspections, the oil is changed regularly and any mid inspection discrepancies are remedied.

You can rest assured that our aircraft are sound and airworthy, as safety is our number one priority.
