Description

INITIAL REVIEW
AEROCOR first conducts an audit of the aircraft maintenance & inspection records, seeking to uncover any major flaws or undisclosed issues early in the process. This phase includes:

LOGBOOK REVIEW
Review log books for indications of major problems. Ensures identifying problems prior to investing additional money on due diligence & lays the foundation for more detailed future analysis. Focuses primarily on uncovering:
Missing records
Undisclosed record gaps
Damage history
Currency with major inspections
Recurring squawks.

AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATIONS AUDIT
Compare advertised equipment with actual installed equipment. Whether intentional or not, mistakes happen. Either way missing equipment can have a substantial impact on aircraft value & usability. Finding missing equipment provides the opportunity to either renegotiate aircraft price or walk away before you end up with an aircraft that you do not want.

PREFLIGHT & FUNCTIONAL CHECKS
After completion of the initial review, AEROCOR performs a full set of functionality tests. These procedures are designed to reveal any hidden problems with the airplane & to identify systems which may require further troubleshooting. This phase includes:

EXPANDED PREFLIGHT CHECKS
Normal pre-flight checks, supplemented with additional checks AEROCOR has developed based on our experience with these aircraft. This includes a full check of items often overlooked, such as the functionality of seat adjustments, lights, window shades, air-vents, etc.

REVIEW OF GENERAL AIRCRAFT CONDITION
From nose to tailcone, we inspect the aircraft to identify cosmetic & interior damage. Divided into fourteen separate sections, our inspection list covers one hundred & fifty line items & includes removal of associated access panels ensuring that nothing is missed.

SYSTEMS FUNCTIONALITY TESTING
From the major to the minor, nothing is overlooked. Our checklist has been designed to identify even the hardest to detect anomalies. That means testing every switch, knob, button, light, outlet & vent in the aircraft. Each subpage of the avionics is analyzed for proper indication & every function is tested for proper operation. When the details matter, AEROCOR has you covered.

OPERATIONAL CHECKFLIGHT
Many operational characteristics can only be tested in actual flight conditions. Problems can exist which go undetected by even the most complete mechanical inspection. AEROCOR’s flight test profile is designed to expose the aircraft to a full range of scenarios & test all systems under various operational conditions.

INFLIGHT SYSTEMS CHECK
Operate & test all systems in real world conditions including:
Pressurization
Autopilot
Environmental
Electrical
Trim
Flight Controls
Landing Gear
Avionics

PERFORMANCE VALIDATION
We compare the actual performance against the manufacturers published figures to ensure your aircraft is delivering as promised. Our checks will validate:
Takeoff distances
Climb rates
Cruise speeds
Fuel consumption
General handling characteristics

POST FLIGHT & REPORT
AEROCOR will deliver both a summary of results & a detailed report of all the findings from our tests. The net result? Clarity. Armed with a clear picture of the aircraft, you will have the information you need to make informed decisions that will save you thousands of dollars & provide a level of confidence & peace of mind that is priceless.

OPTIONAL AIRCRAFT VALUE ANALYSIS
For an additional fee, AEROCOR will provide a complete value analysis utilizing our proprietary market analysis solution, AIRBASE™, which includes adjustments for hours, configuration, & pedigree. Armed with full details about the aircraft & its value, you will have the proper context required to make informed decisions.
