What the documents cover
Handbooks cover the C42 series (C42, C42B, C42C, C42CS, and in one issue C42E). A separate German handbook covers only the C42C and C42CS to the LTF-UL-2019 build standard, with MTOM 560 kg and Rotax 912 iS Sport engine limits. Confirm which handbook matches the aircraft's serial number.
What to check when buying
Confirm registration, markings and a valid Permit to Fly or airworthiness certificate for the country of use. Ask for evidence of the 50- and 100-hour inspections and the Rotax engine servicing. Check the exhaust, fuel pump, cooling system and nose gear. Nose gear parts differ for aircraft built before 2003 and from 2003 on.
Modifications and insurance
The handbook prohibits changes to the control system, structure, wings and engine. Such changes would invalidate the airworthiness certificate or permit to fly, and insurance would become null and void. Verify that the aircraft is unmodified and that all equipment matches the approved equipment list.
