Pre-purchase inspection
& Mid-lease aircraft review

Our pre-purchase and mid-lease inspections give you the complete technical picture before you commit — protecting your investment and surfacing risks that only a trained, independent eye will catch.

Two Services
Two services, one standard of independence
Whether you are evaluating an acquisition or monitoring an asset under active lease, both services apply the same rigorous independent methodology.
P
Pre-Purchase
Pre-purchase inspection
Commissioned by a potential buyer before aircraft acquisition. Designed to verify the true technical condition and commercial value of the asset, confirm records integrity and identify any liabilities that should be reflected in the purchase price or resolved before transaction.
Ideal for
Lessors acquiring aircraft, investors entering the aviation market, operators expanding their fleet, individuals acquiring business or private aircraft.
M
Mid-Lease
Mid-lease inspection
Commissioned by lessors or owners during an active lease to verify that the aircraft is being maintained in accordance with contractual and regulatory requirements. Identifies deterioration early and protects asset value before reaching redelivery.
Ideal for
Leasing companies monitoring fleet condition, aircraft owners with managed assets, operators verifying third-party maintenance quality.
