Purpose of A Pre-buy review

“The Pre-Buy Review is designed to give the potential buyer insight into the aircraft to help with their buying decisions. To give our customers the "best bang for their buck" and to hopefully avoid unnecessarily spending their money, J&G Aviation conducts pre-buy reviews in 2 parts:”

Part 1

Logbook review & aircraft research

The purpose of part 1 is to identify potential problems with both the aircraft documentation and the firewall forward. Historically, the largest cost discrepancies will manifest themselves in these two areas. Part 1 consists of two sections: DOCUMENTATION and FIREWALL FORWARD.

DOCUMENTATION: Logbook review & aircraft research
J&G Aviation will require a copy of all logbooks, a list of equipment (with serial numbers), and a copy of the latest Airworthiness Directives (AD) report. This will allow us to research and identify any potential documentation issues that could affect the value of the aircraft. If complete electronic copies of the logbooks are not available from the seller, J&G Aviation will make electronic copies. If the seller can not provide a complete and accurate equipment list for the aircraft, J&G Aviation will research and create the list. This is required to properly research appliance AD’s.

FIREWALL FORWARD: Review of the aircraft, forward of the firewall
The purpose of the fire wall forward review is to identify any problems in the engine compartment. Historically, aircraft problems most likely to affect the sale, come from issues forward of the firewall and so we believe it is important for the buyer to be comfortable with the engine they are getting before paying for a review of the rest of the aircraft.

Part 1 Single Engine pricing

Part 1 Dual Engine Pricing

Part 2

Review of the remaining aircraft

We will open inspection plates and fairings, and remove enough of the interior to be able to determine the general condition of the airframe, with particular attention to corrosion issues, which, if found, we will point out to the potential buyer.

Part 2 SINGLE ENGINE Pricing

Part 2 DUAL ENGINE Pricing

Note: All other inspections (AD, Service Bulletin, etc) will be billed at normal shop rates of $120/hr plus parts (if required).
