1952 Dehavilland DHC-2Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1952 DeHavilland DHC-2 presents as a well-maintained piston amphibious floatplane with 22,918 total hours on airframe. The aircraft features a 1,165 SMOH Pratt & Whitney R-985 engine (overhauled in 1998 by Aero Engine, approaching its 1,200-hour TBO) and a Hartzell HC-B3RB30-4B propeller with 88 hours since its March 2020 overhaul by BL Aviation. The floatplane configuration includes EDO 4930 straight floats with fresh water operation history and no wheel gear installed.

Notable modifications include the Alaska door and cabin extension, tip tanks increasing gross weight to 5,370 lbs, and a PS Engineering PMA8000 audio panel paired with dual comms (Garmin SL40 and KY96A). Recent maintenance includes a fresh annual, ultrasonic inspections of the birdcage and wing struts, though the doorposts and upper clevis bolt require replacement due to 15-year limits. The exterior wears a white with aqua and blue scheme, while the interior features a dark grey/light grey color scheme. The aircraft has been maintained by Eastern Canada's premier DeHavilland facility, with all applicable ADs noted as incomplete at time of listing.
