Fly and Sell Tips! Pre-purchase inspections
Pre-purchase inspections can make all the difference—see how cooperation and preparation keep your sale on track.
Serious buyers will almost always request a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic or maintenance facility. Be cooperative and make your helicopter available for these inspections at a mutually convenient time and location. Have your logbooks, maintenance records, and any required documents ready for review.
A successful inspection can reassure the buyer and expedite the sale. Be prepared for follow-up questions or negotiations based on the inspection findings. Addressing concerns promptly and professionally helps maintain momentum and builds credibility, even if minor issues are found.
