The airplane has logged over 4500 hours of accident-free flying. The last major improvement was the installation of an overhauled 160 HP Lycoming engine in 1992. The airplane is hangared at Greater Rochester International Airport. All maintenance is done by the FBO on the field, Corporate Wings. The airplane is used strictly for instruction of students enrolled at The Aviation Learning Center.
Every flight begins with a thorough preflight inspection.
