Preliminary Inspection

A preliminary inspection of an aircraft is your opportunity to research and investigate your potential investment before committing any more money to the purchase process. The preliminary inspection should include a thorough inspection of the mechanical as well as the cosmetic condition of the aircraft. In addition, TAG can carry out a preliminary records review to ensure that the regulatory records of the aircraft are up to date. An often-overlooked step of the pre-buy is investigating which modifications repairs are legally installed on the aircraft as this could have an impact on the choice of registry of your aircraft.
This is a highly recommended service to be performed before the sales and purchase agreement has been finalised. Many things can add affect the value of an aircraft; our experience team can guide you in the right direction to avoid costly pitfalls at a later stage.

Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

A critical requirement for the purchase process of an aircraft is the Pre-Purchase Inspection. The PPI work scope will depend on the age and maintenance inspection cycle of the aircraft. Typically, a PPI will consist of a maintenance inspection of the aircraft and a thorough records review. Full systems check in-flight is highly recommend along with a borescope of the engines and APU even for young aircraft. Engaging TAG’s services to oversee and scrutinize the PPI process adds value for you the buyer.

Technical Acceptance
