Accident history for this model

ADs published since 1998 that may apply (0)

These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.

No ADs published since 1998 matched this airframe or engine model.

AI-extracted — verify against original. Matched from each AD's applicability section; ADs replaced by a later AD are left out.
