Prebuy Inspections
Make a Confident, Informed Aircraft Purchase
At Maine Aero Services, we know that purchasing an aircraft is not just a financial investment, but a long-term commitment. Whether you’re buying your first aircraft or adding to your fleet, making the right choice is crucial. That’s why our Pre-Buy Inspection is designed to give you peace of mind and confidence in your decision. This comprehensive inspection provides you with the detailed information you need to evaluate the true condition of the aircraft before finalizing your purchase.
Why a Pre-Buy Inspection is Essential
Even when an aircraft appears to be in good condition, there may be underlying issues that are not immediately visible. A pre-purchase inspection helps you uncover potential mechanical, structural, or compliance problems that could affect the aircraft’s performance, safety, and long-term maintenance costs. Without a thorough inspection, you could be at risk of purchasing an aircraft that requires significant repairs or has unresolved issues, which could lead to unexpected expenses and downtime.
What We Cover in Our Pre-Buy Inspection
At Maine Aero Services, we take a meticulous approach to pre-buy inspections. Our experienced and highly trained technicians conduct a comprehensive review of the aircraft’s history, condition, and airworthiness. Our inspection process includes:
Maintenance and Ownership History:
We review the aircraft’s logs and documentation to ensure all maintenance has been performed on schedule and any repairs or modifications have been properly documented. This also includes verifying compliance with FAA airworthiness directives (ADs) and ensuring that the aircraft meets all regulatory requirements.
Airframe and Structural Integrity:
Our team carefully inspects the airframe for signs of corrosion, weakness, or damage that could affect the aircraft’s structural integrity. We look at critical areas such as the wings, fuselage, landing gear, and control surfaces.
Powerplant and Systems Check:
The aircraft’s engine, avionics, fuel systems, electrical systems, and hydraulics are thoroughly examined for any signs of wear, leaks, or damage that could impact performance. This includes checking engine logs, oil analysis, and past maintenance records for red flags.
Discrepancies and Repair Needs:
We identify any discrepancies that may affect the aircraft’s airworthiness or value, such as outstanding repairs, unapproved modifications, or hidden defects. These findings are compiled in a detailed report, providing you with a clear understanding of the aircraft’s current condition.
