FAA enforcement records haven't been loaded into GroundCheck yet, so none can be shown — a gap in our data, not evidence of a clean enforcement history.
Maintenance disclosure history
Service Difficulty Reports are self-reported maintenance findings. The NUMBER of reports is not a measure of reliability — diligent operators file more, not fewer. These are shown for transparency, not as a negative signal.
1 report on file.
THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A TOTAL HYDRAULIC FAILURE IN-FLIGHT. THE PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WAS INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUCTION LINE FROM THE RESERVOIR TO THE HYDRAULIC PUMP HAD FAILED INTERNALLY. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE DEFECTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE LINE. THERE WAS NO HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING FROM THE LINE ON PRE-FLIGHT.
