The aircraft pre-purchase inspection is an essential step for anyone buying an airplane. It involves an experienced, independent third party assessing the aircraft’s condition to uncover discrepancies, establish its value, and identify potential issues. We offer this service with a team of professional mechanics who specialize in thorough evaluations tailored to the aircraft type.
Process and Options:
Lunch Time Special ($500): Hands-on review at their hangar, including visual inspection, compression checks, oil sampling, and logbook audits.
Hourly Inspection ($140/hour): In-depth examination over hours or days to identify discrepancies and repair costs, supporting buyer negotiations.
Annual Inspection ($140/hour): The most thorough option, integrating pre-purchase and annual inspection. Requires careful coordination with sellers due to potential repair findings.
Convenience:
Mobile services are available, with travel fees based on distance.
Advisory: Buyers are advised to engage evaluators before signing purchase contracts, as tight timelines (e.g., 10-day closing) may not align with availability.
Limitations:
Evaluations provide an opinion of the aircraft’s condition and are not exhaustive or guaranteed to uncover all issues.
We stand out for its comprehensive, resource-backed evaluations designed to help buyers make well-informed decisions about aircraft purchases.
