Why do you need a pre-purchase inspection?

Pre-purchase inspections are critical for aircraft buyers when purchasing any type of aircraft – whether it’s an Experimental Aircraft (EAB), Certified Aircraft, or Turboprop. If the pre-purchase inspection is not performed before purchase, you’ll be blind to pre-existing issues that may affect the aircraft’s value and/or safety. This knowledge enables you to negotiate an equitable price with the seller and make an informed decision regarding its purchase.

Though pre-purchase inspections can add costs to your overall investment in owning a plane, they are well worth the peace of mind of knowing that it will arrive safely and perform as expected. Make sure to invest in pre-purchase inspections when shopping for your next aircraft.
