One of the most enjoyable moments of a pilot is when he or
she takes their first flight in the plane they just purchased.One
of the worst experiences is when you find that there is something
wrong with your new plane.At Emerson Aviation we work with
our customers to ensure that the plane you are about to buy
is nothing short of what you expect. When buying a plane it
is important to know what you are getting into. Whether it
is a fixer upper or a plane that is ready to fly, a pre-purchase
inspection can help you avoid the pitfalls associated with
a private transaction purchase.A pre-purchase inspection should
be performed by a licensed IA/A&P and should include the
following …
