Engine Time (TSO): approx. 1,576 hours
Configuration: Suitable for training, charter, or private operations
Maintenance & Airworthiness
The aircraft has been continuously maintained under a CAMO environment (Helihansa GmbH) with complete and transparent records.

Several minor routine maintenance items approaching due (normal for active operation)
50-hour engine inspection slightly overdue (~1.7 hours)

Components & Remaining Life
Major components (main rotor blades, gearbox, structure):
→ Remaining life up to approx. 4,380 hours TT
Calendar-based components largely valid until 2034–2035
Engine:

Why This Aircraft Stands Out
✔ 2200h / 12-year overhaul already completed (major value factor)

✔ Professionally maintained under CAMO
✔ Ideal for flight schools or commercial operators
✔ Transparent technical status — no hidden surprises

Predictable maintenance planning
Solid remaining life on key components
Immediate usability (after routine maintenance items)
