What to check before you buy
  • Engine time & compression, hours since overhaul drive both price and your next big bill.
  • Logs & damage history, complete logs and no damage protect resale.
  • Corrosion & AD compliance, especially on older airframes; get a pre-buy from a type-savvy mechanic.
  • Avionics & ADS-B, confirm it's equipped; upgrades are costly to add later.
