Pre-Purchase Inspection Oversight
Better visibility before the acquisition becomes your aircraft.
A pre-purchase inspection is only as useful as the questions asked, the scope examined and the findings resolved. Jet Karma represents the buyer through PPI planning, technical review and discrepancy resolution so the acquisition decision is made with clearer visibility into the aircraft.
What Pre-Purchase Inspection Oversight Includes
- PPI scope and facility coordination
- Aircraft and records-review coordination
- Inspection-status and finding surveillance
- Technical finding review with appropriate specialists
- Discrepancy categorization and tracking
- Corrective-action and commercial-resolution coordination
- Closing and transition support
The goal is not a thicker inspection report. It is a better-informed acquisition decision.
Frequently Asked Questions

An independent representative manages the pre-purchase inspection process on the buyer’s behalf — coordinating the inspection facility, reviewing records and findings, and advising on negotiation before purchase.
Why hire independent representation for a pre-purchase inspection?
The inspection facility and seller each have their own interests in the transaction; independent representation ensures findings are reviewed strictly from the buyer’s perspective.
What’s included in a pre-purchase inspection?
Typically an airframe and systems inspection, logbook and records review, damage history check, and corrosion or structural assessment, depending on the aircraft type and scope agreed upon.
Can inspection findings affect the purchase price?
Yes — discrepancies found during inspection are often used to negotiate price adjustments, repairs, or escrow holdbacks before closing.
Which aircraft types do you support for pre-purchase inspections?
