3d. Weight & Balance

Last W&B carried out on 15 June 2018 at airframe time 3,265 hrs. As of today the aircraft has flown approximately 262 hrs since the last weighing, a span of nearly 8 years. Cross-referencing the modification list (08.02.2024), the Becker AR6201 was installed on the same date as the W&B (15.06.2018) and no modifications are recorded since — so the W&B should currently reflect the installed equipment. Verification is still recommended before transfer.

This document is a preliminary assessment based on the materials in the D-EHMH folder (sales ad, maintenance status sheet, certificates from photos, and email correspondence). It does not constitute a formal airworthiness opinion and should be complemented by a physical pre-purchase inspection by a licensed engineer before any purchase commitment is finalised. For documentation availability and source files, see the companion Documentation Status report.
