Pre-Purchase Inspections
A pre-purchase inspection helps you understand the aircraft you’re considering. Our team reviews aircraft records and examines the airframe, engines, avionics, and interior against an agreed inspection scope.
Tell us about the aircraft, its location, and your purchase timeline. We’ll discuss inspection requirements and availability, and confirm the work to be included before the evaluation begins.
Request a QuoteA useful evaluation brings the records and the aircraft together. Agree on the inspection scope up front so everyone understands the areas being reviewed.
Provide the make and model, serial number, aircraft location, available maintenance records, and your target purchase date.
Discuss the inspection requirements, any additional testing, and scheduling with our team before the work begins.
The inspection plan is agreed for the individual aircraft. These areas form the starting point for that conversation.
Review airframe and engine logbooks, aircraft documentation, equipment lists, and applicable TCDS, STC, and Form 337 records. Check AD and service-bulletin status, life-limited items, upcoming maintenance, weight and balance, and registration.
Review the exterior condition of the fuselage, wings, tail, and control surfaces, together with landing gear, wheels, brakes, and tires. The planning scope also includes windows, windshields, exterior placards, lighting, and a fuel-leak check; the exterior visual inspection does not include panel removal.
Review antennas, static wicks, and radome diverter strips, and perform an avionics functional or operational check within the agreed scope.
Review seats, interior condition, placards, and loose equipment, including a check for lavatory-area corrosion.
Review visible engine condition and signs of foreign-object damage, with borescope inspections included in the planned evaluation.
Discuss test-flight arrangements and any additional checks with the inspection team. Confirm the flight scope and responsibilities before scheduling.
Share the aircraft details, the purchase timeline, and any areas you want the inspection team to focus on.
Agree on the inspection work, testing arrangements, expected timing, and deliverables for your evaluation.
Review the inspection findings with the team and discuss any follow-up work before deciding how to proceed.
