Never used as a flight school or PPL trainer - privately owned throughout its life. FOR U.S. BUYERS - A CLEAN, LOW-FRICTION TRANSITION This aircraft is currently on the Dominican registry, but the path back to an N-number is unusually straightforward: • U.S.-manufactured aircraft - no Export Certificate of Airworthiness is required for re-import. • Previously FAA-registered as N599FL, which simplifies re-registration. • The aircraft is already physically located in Florida - no ferry flight or international logistics required. • Complete, original logbooks since new, and a clear title. • Seller will handle de-registration and coordinate closing through a U.S. escrow and title company. Buyer reserves the N-number; once de-registration is filed and the FAA issues the flight wire, a DAR completes the airworthiness inspection. PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS: • Power Flow Systems, Inc. tuned exhaust STC - ceramic finish, with air filter kit (March 2025). • 160 HP STC conversion. • Speed kit. • Kool Scoop.
