Thanks David.
It certainly is good to know how such things are managed. That is why I am interested.
Hi Peter,
I am here….I just don’t have the info yet.
The aircraft will need an HSI before it can be flown. One of our maintenance facility who was following this SN until 2017 is quite close by so they will most likely be the ones to put this one back in the air.
Kind regards,
David
No sign of David… perhaps he just sells these things 
Well, one doesn’t sell much via EuroGA unless one posts stuff.
Indeed it would be good to hear input from @davidfabry on this.
Thanks David.
If you find out how the return to flight was accomplished and if possible at what cost, this would be of quite some interest here for similar cases.
Good evening everyone,
That limitation is in deed on the engine not the airframe.
The new owner paid $1.3M + auction house fees so $1.4M.
A comparable airworthy, no damage TBM 850G would around $2M.
Kind regards,
David
Does the NM say explicitly that if the plane has not flown for X number of months it is not airworthy regardless of condition? And that ibspection/rectification is limited to manufacturer approved program? I can see legal issues with getting that certified, especially for Part 91 operations.
It would be interesting to find an answer to this. Personally I very much doubt that the airframe has such a limitation (because a TBM is really a very conventional construction), but the PT6 engine might have. I think that the TBM MM is online here. The TB MM is also online but that is a much more recent thing. Can any PT6 owner say if his MM has such a limitation?
Starting price. Next bid must be at least 700K.
But then again… contact the seller directly and make them an offer they can’t refuse.
Is this a buy now price or the starting price of an auction?
