ENCLOSURE : (1) Aircraft Inspection Report
(2) Photographs
Two copies of Enclosure (1) are forwarded and represents the results
of an inspection of SP2H type aircraft, BU Number 135582.
In summarizing the results of the inspection, this Contractor points
out that there is no known structural damage nor fuel tank leaks.
The aircraft was subjected to an overweight landing recorded on 10
August 1965. No damage; however, was reported. The aircraft is ex-
tremely dirty, reciprocating engines leaking oil very badly and some
14 aircraft service changes have not been complied with.
In connection with your question relative to mission equipment spares,
this will confirm our telephone conversation wherein a budgetary esti-
mate for planning purposes for $235,000. was given. This number is an
experience factor of the estimated mission equipment costs. � In this
same connection, $500. per flight hour has been estimated as a good
figure to cover basic aircraft system type spare parts. This number
.as been proven reasonable in connection with the other P2V which we
at this facility have maintained for you folks during the past year.

Summary:
otqA
The aircraft appears to be basically sound although routine maintenance
has not been performed as required. This has resulted in many minor type
discrepancies and an extremely dirty aircraft. It is not believed that
extensive corrosion exists although exterior�co-nditIon prevented a
de-
tailed inspection. All time change items as listed in the -6 are
compatible with a 200-hour flight test program. It is our opinion
that the aircraft will require a considerable amount of routine
type maintenance to prepare for a test flight program.
