What am I gonna get if I ask for a pre-purchase inspection?
I know that if I ask an IA to do an annual, there are standards to
which he must adhere. If I ask for a pre-purchase inspection, what am I getting? Am I correct that unless I specify what to look for I am entirely at the mercy of his level of experience AND his level of enthusiasm at that moment? - Mike |

What am I gonna get if I ask for a pre-purchase inspection?
How close is the plane to needing an annual? Maybe you and the owner
could work out something if you are seriously interested. Split the cost of the annual? Or if it isn't close, you pay for the annual, done by YOUR guy and he fixes the squaks? An annual would be by far the best pre-purchase inspection. There is no definition of "pre-purchase." As an A&P I'd hesitate to do a pre-purchase. There would be too much possibility of missing something with the possibility of someone coming back on me. The paperwork search, which would have to be done for an annual really should be done on the pre-purchase too. Does it have a legal prop? What really is the status of the ADs? You will reduce your exposure with a pre-purchase, however. Bill Hale |
