1/6th share in Grumman AA5, hangared at Kirknewton near Edinburgh. Well cared for aircraft in a well run and friendly group.

Garmin GNC255 .833 radio and Garmin GTX330 Mode S transponder. Century autopilot, ELT transmitter, life jackets, Powertow 40EZ tug

Upgraded with 160hp engine. 4780 airframe hours and 362 engine hours since zero time o/h, and 11hrs since o/h following prop strike. An engine fund is in place which remains part of the group and will fully fund overhaul when due.

Monthly charge is £135 pcm and flying cost £85 wet per tach hour, Kirknewton has it’s own bowser and fuel is supplied at wholesale cost which means a good proportion of the hourly cost goes towards maintenance and upgrades so annual and 50 hour checks are usually fully funded, excess is retained in group funds.

Apart from the usual pilot maintenance there is a strict ‘no tinkering’ policy and maintenance performed by a professional organisation, currently ACS at Perth. Outstanding items are cleared and not left to build up.

Group constitution requires minimum 100 hours TT
