Inspection Services

At Aviation Resources, we don’t just inspect your plane–we I.N.S.P.E.C.T. your aircraft.  Some may call us excessive, however, when it comes to safety, we R.E.S.P.E.C.T. your desire to keep your life, the lives of your passengers, and your investment SAFE.  Some may value this service, and some may not – that’s okay.  We just want a clear conscience that we’ve done everything we can to keep you and your passengers safe.  Not to say that equipment malfunctions and operator errors won’t happen, but you’ll feel good to know that we did our best to keep your airplane operating correctly.

  • Annual Inspections

    Any A&P/IA can perform an annual inspection, but we pride ourselves on the thoroughness of our inspection.  Following a detailed checklist, we note discrepancies small and large and consult with the owner on the available options to address the issue and together decide on the most appropriate course of action.  Not only do we include the standard minimum requirements of the FAR 43 and Cirrus, we've also identified numerous other areas of concern to inspect on a scheduled basis--some annually and some based on flight hours.

  • Pre-Buy Surveys

    When you’re buying a new plane, it is wise to have a pre-buy survey performed to get an unbiased opinion on the condition of the aircraft.  As a third-party, we have your best interest in mind. Coupled with our thorough inspection process, experienced mechanics, and Jim’s eagle eye, we are likely to find items that need to be addressed prior to purchase or can be negotiated into the purchase price. We can come to the location of the plane (at your cost, of course), or you can have the plane brought to us for this survey. From this review, we’ll provide a list of discrepancies that you can discuss with the seller.  Like a home inspection prior to purchase, a pre-buy survey is always a good value—even if it is just for your peace of mind!

  • General Look-Overs

    After being with the same service provider for a long time, sometimes its good to have a different set of eyes take a look at your aircraft to ensure that nothing’s being missed and you’re getting adequate service.  Our skilled mechanics will just do a “look-over” and let you know if they see anything significant that needs to be addressed.  Sometimes it unveils serious negligence and sometimes it confirms that you’re in good hands back at your shop.  Like a second opinion for medical issues, it’s always good to confirm your provider’s diagnosis or learn of other options available.

  • Video Borescope Inspections

    Overall performance of your aircraft relies on the health of your engine.   With our hi-tech video borescope, like endoscopy, we can see inside the heart of your aircraft.  We can examine your engine from the inside out, noting the wear and tear that is developing on your cylinders, valves, guides and cam lobes.

  • Delivery Inspections

    You’ve bought your new plane and you’re so excited to fly it home, but first, it is always smart to have it looked over by a trained inspector to ensure all is working properly and everything that was supposed to be repaired prior to delivery has been completed.
