Restricted Airworthiness

[Brad Mallard]

I am looking to upgrade from my Cessna 150 to a 172. I have found one I
like and not too expensive. While I was pulling up some data on the plane, I
found that it has multiple Airworthiness Certificates. One of these says
standard, and one says restricted. Does anyone now what this means?

Could be that at one time it was modified to do some specific task, like
airborne mapping, photography, something like that, and required mods that
would also require a restricted airworthiness certificate. Then they
removed the mods and restored the aircraft to its original configuration
and the standard airworthiness certificate would apply.

You had better have a knowledgeable person go through the logs with a fine
tooth comb to make sure they are accurate and good to go.
