Pre-takeoff checklist
I was just looking the the GSA Auction site and they have several Cessna 206's up for sale. Each one has a special log book entry saying that the aircraft are unairworthy due to "suspected and unknown damage caused by being operated on multiple flights in excess of manufactures recommended gross take off weight.
I find it interesting that so many of these planes all had the same log book entry at the same time. I wonder if flying above gross is a normal procedure for the government (Department of Interior in this case) or did they just figure out their weight and balance mistakes.
I can understand how being over gross can damage an aircraft but this is the first time I have actually heard of it happening.
Man these place are cool. I would love to have a float plane like these.
