If it has a recording engine analyzer installed (many a/c of that class,
performance do), ask for a memory dump of whatever is stored in its memory and watch that memory dump take place, if possible. That could tell a lot about how it's been operated. DL wrote in message ... snip. Play dumb and interested. At a minimum, ask about %power at cruise/fuel flow/ITT-after all, you want to keep operating it the same way it's been operated ; ) Ask him/her to take you for an extended test hop to "see how it flies". Pay close attention to his/her climb/cruise profile & power settings and the indicated temps. Ask about performance and altitude & have him/her show you. Check the oil consumption after 30 minutes in cruise, minimum. Paying for a little fuel can net you a lot of information. TC
