Foxtrot LLC delivers thorough, independent aircraft inspections that give you complete confidence in your investment decisions and ongoing asset management. Our comprehensive inspection services protect buyers, lessors, and operators by providing detailed technical assessments backed by experienced engineers and industry best practices.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Making an informed aircraft acquisition decision requires complete technical transparency. Our pre-purchase inspections provide an independent, objective assessment of an aircraft’s condition, value, and compliance status before you commit to the transaction.

What We Inspect

  • Complete Records Review: Comprehensive audit of airframe, engine, APU, and component logbooks from delivery through current status
  • Maintenance Status Analysis: Evaluation of completed and upcoming maintenance events, deferred items, and remaining intervals
  • Airworthiness Compliance: Verification of AD compliance, mandatory modifications, and service bulletin embodiment
  • Physical Inspection: Detailed walkthrough of aircraft structure, systems, interior, and exterior condition
  • Engine and APU Assessment: Review of performance data, shop visit history, and life-limited part status
  • Component Life Tracking: Analysis of time/cycle limited components and upcoming removals
  • Corrosion and Damage Assessment: Identification of existing repairs, corrosion, and structural concerns
  • Lease Return Readiness: If applicable, evaluation against anticipated return conditions
  • Market Value Analysis: Assessment of technical factors affecting aircraft value

Mid-Lease Inspections

Regular mid-lease inspections are essential for lessors to monitor asset condition, ensure lease compliance, and protect residual value. Our inspections provide early identification of issues before they become costly problems at redelivery.
