lifetime of airframe - 2004/08/13 08:58 I interested in buying a ASW 15 or 15B, so I'am trying to learn some technical information on the aircraft. I do not know if this pertains to the ASW 15 or 15B. Most fiberglass airframe aircraft have a lifetime hour limit on the airframes. Does either the ASW 15 or 15B have such an hour limit. (For example the LET L-23 has a 6000 hour lifetime on the airframe). Does the ASW 15 or 15B have a limit and if so what is it. Or is there a set time or limit when a gel coat has to be re-done? Where can one find technical maintenance information on the ASW 15 or 15B before purchasing.

Thanks

Re:lifetime of airframe - 2004/08/16 17:46 1. 3000h. Thereafter an inspection has to be done. Then further 3000h.
2. All maintenance reports have to be in the livetime folder.
DON´T BY AN A/C WITHOUT GAPLESS REPORT!
3. Technical advisories are to be found on manufactureres side. ( Or here... )
4. Gelcoat has no lifetime limit. Has to be changend when damaged.
When good treatened it´s good for eternity.
When not... I know A/C where it had to be changed after 1000h,
I know A/C with 3000h and they look like new...

BR,
