Narrative:
FBO provided a BE400A (beechjet) for their pilots to bring to a type rating ride in wichita. The aircraft was dispatched with 2 instructors and their students to wichita for the purpose of training and upon arrival at wichita, allow the 'students' to use the aircraft for type rating rides. I was the FAA designated examiner contacted to be the type rating evaluator. The aircraft had all the proper paper work and both instructors advised me the aircraft was sound and ready for flight. No aircraft maintenance logs were found on board. On mar/xx/95, I was told that the aircraft we flew was over the 100 hour inspection cycle - I was so advised by the instructors.
