Our aircraft is a DR400/180 “Regent”. It was purchased new in 1993.

Total time on airframe is approx 2150 hours.The engine has been replaced with

a refurbished unit by NORVIC (2015) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

The Private Category ARC  has been renewed (April 2017).

 

The aircraft has ALWAYS been hangared. It has had no accidents apart from minor

"hangar rash" type incidents.

There was an issue a some years back over DR400 main spars.

The aircraft was returned to the factory and was inspected to

airworthiness directive 2001/194 and released to service,

and does not require further work.
