Pre-Buy Inspection

Know exactly what you're buying.

Before you commit to buying an aircraft, know exactly what you're getting. We coordinate a detailed technical evaluation of its mechanical condition, airframe, and logbooks — independent of the seller.

What's Included

Nothing Discovered After You've Signed

A pre-buy inspection exists to protect you, the buyer — not to make a sale happen. Every inspection is thorough, independent, and reported to you in plain language.

Aircraft & Logbook Review

A full review of the aircraft's history and logbooks before the physical inspection even begins.

Mechanical Condition Assessment

A hands-on evaluation of the engine, systems, and mechanical components against the aircraft's actual history.

Airframe & Corrosion Check

Close inspection of the airframe for corrosion, damage history, and repairs — disclosed or otherwise.

Avionics & Equipment Review

Confirmation that installed avionics and equipment match the logbooks and are functioning as expected.

Independent Inspector Coordination

We arrange a qualified, independent inspector with no connection to the seller — your interests only.

Findings Report & Next Steps

A clear, plain-language report on what was found — and what it means for your decision to buy.

Common Questions

Pre-Buy Inspection FAQ

What does a pre-buy inspection actually cover?

The aircraft's mechanical condition, airframe, avionics and equipment, and a full review of its logbooks and maintenance records.

Who performs the inspection?

A qualified, independent inspector with no connection to the seller — we coordinate this specifically to protect your interests.

How long does it take?

It depends on the aircraft type and its history, but most inspections are completed within a few days.

What happens if the inspection finds a problem?

You get a clear report on what was found, and we help you decide whether to renegotiate, request repairs, or walk away.

Do I need this if the seller already has a recent inspection?

Yes — a seller-provided inspection isn't independent. A pre-buy inspection arranged on your behalf protects you specifically.
