How and why did they repair this?

[Samuel Seidel]

Just scrolling through accidents and saw this plane had a prop strike recently. But it had a full on CFIT 6 years ago and you have to look at the damage for yourself. But I don’t see what money incentive there was to repair it.

Same airplane or same N-number?

Looks bad, hard life for the plane. The 1st accident was the DPE pulling power at 500’ on takeoff, engine didn’t come back up in time, 2015 I think.

The plane was repaired, now recently had a prop strike. If one has the know how & $$, many can be repaired.

Repairs usually add weight. Patches and whatnot. One would want to take a good look at the weight and balance history. And does it still fly straight, and stall straight ahead, power off, no consistent dropping of one wing?

Had a Warrior fly through power lines here, about 30 years ago. Landed semi-normally. The airplane was repaired, the pilot went on to their commercial.

That pilot is one lucky individual.

That pilot is one lucky individual.

And/or skillful.

Buy the plane. What's the chance of it crashing three times? It's been pre-disastered.

Perhaps.
