We had the opportunity to
inspect an airplane that had been inspected for its
annual within the last month, but, due to health
complications, the Inspector was unable to sign the
airplane off after he inspected it. The owner
brought the airplane to us knowing that we had to
perform the whole inspection in order to legally return
the airplane to service. This Inspector had been
maintaining the airplane for several years, mostly
because his annuals were "reasonably priced." The
log entry speaks for itself....

The bottom line is, if
all you want is an inspection, we can certainly provide
the inspection along with the required list (if there is anything
wrong with your airplane.) If there is nothing
wrong, we will be happy to sign the annual off as
completed and return the airplane to service.
However, if you want your
airplane inspected, normal service items accomplished
and all the paperwork done properly, that is how we prefer to
perform our annual inspections. An airplane that
receives not only an inspection every year, but is
serviced as well, requires less interim maintenance.
Normal wear is minimized due to proper security and
lubrication of movable parts. A regularly
maintained airplane presents fewer failures and is
overall safer to operate.
We are very happy to discuss any and
all aspects of aircraft maintenance with you.
