Introduction
Thinking of buying an aircraft? Whether it’s a jet for business or part of a commercial fleet, an aircraft pre-purchase inspection is non-negotiable. It’s your best chance to understand the condition, compliance, and true value of the asset.
What Is an Aircraft Pre-Purchase Inspection?
A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) is a thorough technical assessment of an aircraft before ownership transfer. It includes airframe evaluation, engine testing, system diagnostics, and a review of the aircraft’s maintenance and repair history.
Why It’s Important
- Identify Hidden Issues – From corrosion to structural fatigue, PPI reveals issues that may not be visible in initial checks.
- Verify Compliance – The inspection verifies whether the aircraft complies with international safety standards and maintenance protocols.
- Assess Documentation – Missing or incomplete records can delay registration or even result in grounding.
- Negotiate Better – A proper inspection helps the buyer renegotiate the price or demand rectifications.
