Are the aircraft delivered with documentation?
Yes, each aircraft has aeronautical technical documentation and historical records (logbooks, component control cards, maintenance forms and current or historical airworthiness certificates), which are included within the technical documentation package annexed to the process.
What is the condition of the aircraft?
Each aircraft has a particular technical condition, determined by its operating and maintenance history. In general, the units are out of operational service, some are in extended storage, others are in the process of incomplete repair or used for component removal. Detailed information on the structural, systems and major components condition of each aircraft is described in the technical reports or individual inventories attached to the process.
Are aircraft delivered with engines and propellers installed and in certified condition?
