Filing Flight Plan
Hey guys! I'm new here and I've been lingering around forums for weeks. As the title states I'm looking for recommendations along with any tips for hiring an A&P/IA/shop for a pre-buy. This is my first plane purchase so I am open to any tips even if it does't refer to my original question.
Here are some details.
- I'm in S.Florida, plane (Archer)is in Houston (Will find out the airport soon)
- PA-28-181 Archer
- Plane has fresh "annual" done 6/15
- Fresh IFR 5/15
- Owner states all AD's are have been dealt with.
- Little under 500 hrs SMOH done in 2008
- Oil samples are good
- Compressions are all over 70/80
- Prop has 100 hrs TSOH.
My concern like anyone is if some of this has been pencil Whipped. I have read and there is even a thread just below this one saying the Pre-buy missed some things that were obvious. If anyone has any referrals that you know do some good work in that area please let me know. I plan to be there when the Pre-buy is being done.
Also
1. What would I be looking at in terms of cost?
2. How long does this service typically take?
Thanks!
