The single-engine service ceiling is 7,400 feet. This means that the aircraft can climb at a rate greater than 100 feet per minute with one engine inoperative until it reaches this altitude. The aircraft is maintained under a rigorous program that includes replacement of all critical components after a specified time in service. Periodic inspections are performed and maintenance records are reviewed with the FAA on a regular basis. Safety is further assured by annual pilot training that includes recurrent flight training, FAA check rides, and a review of all specifications, limitations, manuals, procedures, and other material.
Liability is limited to one million dollars for each flight.
