Inspection Status: MAINTENANCE HISTORY RECENT SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS — JUNE 2026 The following scheduled inspections were completed on June 8, 2026, according to the owner's maintenance information: • 100-hour inspection • 200-hour inspection • 400-hour inspection • 12-month inspection • 24-month inspection Next 12-month inspection: June 2027, subject to applicable flight-hour requirements. Next 24-month inspection: June 2028. The aircraft's maintenance records are available for review. REPLACEMENT TAIL ROTOR BLADES — NOVEMBER 2023 Both tail rotor blades were replaced on November 2, 2023. The replacement blades have a 15-year calendar service life, with an expiry date of November 2, 2038. The tail rotor assembly has also been replaced, eliminating the need for its replacement under the owner's anticipated 12-year maintenance work scope. ROBINSON EXTENDED COMPONENT SERVICE LIFE The helicopter's life-limited component tracking has been reviewed and updated to reflect applicable Robinson service-life extensions. Under Robinson's revised maintenance requirements, selected eligible R66 components may benefit from extended service lives of up to 4,000 hours, compared with their original 2,000-hour limits. An updated component tracking report is available for technical review. UPCOMING 12-YEAR MAINTENANCE — MAY 2028 The helicopter reaches its 12-year calendar maintenance milestone in May 2028. Based on the aircraft's low operating hours and updated component status, the owner has prepared an itemized preliminary estimate for the anticipated maintenance work. The proposed scope includes: • Main rotor blade and spindle replacement • Main rotor hub teardown, inspection, and nondestructive testing • Swashplate inspection and seal renewal • Replacement of applicable calendar-limited components • Structural, fuel, hydraulic, and systems inspections • Verification of applicable service bulletin and service letter compliance • Replacement of components not eligible for extended service-life limits Preliminary estimated maintenance cost: approximately USD $127,000, assuming the main rotor hub passes inspection and no significant additional discrepancies are discovered. This is a market-based estimate rather than a binding maintenance quotation. The anticipated 12-year calendar maintenance scope is separate from Robinson's published factory 2,000-hour maintenance package. The replacement tail rotor assembly is excluded from the proposed replacement work. Detailed maintenance information and the itemized estimate are available to qualified buyers. |

Damage Notes: ENGINE MAINTENANCE HISTORY — 2021 START OVERTEMPERATURE EVENT In 2021, the aircraft's Rolls-Royce RR300 engine (S/N RRE-200633) experienced an overtemperature event during engine starting at approximately 719 operating hours. Following the event, the engine was removed and sent for specialist inspection and corrective maintenance. The maintenance work included inspection and repair of the affected engine assemblies, replacement of turbine components, and associated component servicing. The maintenance documentation includes work performed by ITP Aero and specialist component maintenance providers, together with supporting authorized release certificates. The engine was subsequently returned to service following the documented maintenance actions. The work was classified as corrective maintenance rather than a complete engine overhaul. Accordingly, the engine continues to be tracked using its original operating hours. The engine has subsequently accumulated additional operating time. Detailed Rolls-Royce RR300 engine records, component maintenance documentation, and airworthiness release certificates are available to prospective purchasers for technical review. |
