Log Books in Aircraft Appear: The log books are in poor condition.  Some of the early log books have water damage.  Several tail numbers and serial number appear in the log books.  It was difficult for the appraiser to know if this was in error or if multiple aircraft records were mixed in with the appraised aircraft records.

The aircraft does have some plastic covering on it in some places.  The aircraft does have a lot of bird droppings on it.  The bird droppings have damaged the paint and metals in some places.  The air-stair is broken.

Avionics

 

The appraiser could not obtain an accurate list of all installed avionics. The aircraft has the typical avionics installed on a 1980’s vintage mid size jet.  There does not appear to be many modern upgrades to the avionics.  Due to the aircraft sitting and unused for so long it is likely that a lot of the equipment will not function properly when powered up.
