Our Aircraft

 

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.
