Aircraft Pre-Purchase Evaluation

Tamicair recommend doing a one or more of the manufacturer’s larger inspection(s) as part of the evaluation – this allows you to get more value for your dollar as you will have accomplished maintenance work that would have been required later.

Purchasing an aircraft without the benefit of an experienced airframe and power-plant Engineer can lead to big expenses and unsafe conditions right away or even later on

Our maintenance expert look at are: Aircraft records, (logbooks, etc.) – are they complete and accurate? Aircraft damage history – has the aircraft been involved in an accident? Airworthiness Directive (AD) status – are all applicable AD’s complied with and signed off properly? Maintenance status – are all inspection requirements up to date? Engine condition and history – is the engine performing as it should? System operations – are they functioning normally? Modifications and proper recording of the modifications, STCs accounted for? Corrosion damage – where has the aircraft lived? Is there hidden corrosion? Another important part of a pre-purchase evaluation is the acceptance flight.
