The aircraft appeared to be in airworthy condition in person and per last Annual/Phase inspection. All doors and engine cowlings appear to fit well; and I found some scratches and chips in the paint. The paint has poor gloss and shows as good from 10 feet away. No significant dents, dings, or hangar rash were noted. No surface corrosion was observed. All surfaces were smooth and normal. All windows, doors, cowlings, and access panels appeared to fit properly and operate freely. The engine compartment, cabin, and cockpit appeared clean and show normal signs of wear. The doors and access panels are in good physical/mechanical condition. To summarize, the physical condition and appearance of N5951E is rated as average for its vintage.
