Pre-purchase inspection:

CPA uses the experience of years of working on Cessna aircraft to identify critical and/or expensive areas for any particular model you are intending on buying, with the intension of helping an owner avoid purchasing an aircraft with serious problems.  Too many times CPA has heard horror stories of new owners buying aircraft that turn out to have expensive problems that they were not aware of.  It is extremely important that a potential buyer find an impartial mechanic who they trust and is an expert on the particular model of aircraft that they are contemplating buying.  After an afternoon here at CPA we were able to identify several areas to a potential buyer that may be in need of maintenance and potentially extra cost in the near future.  We will develop a comprehensive report of all the problems that we observed and included digital pictures of each item. 

CPA offers to our member’s pre-purchase inspection of 100 and 200 series Cessna for $500.  This allows our members to take advantage of our vast experience with Cessna aircraft to inspect your potential new purchase.  Our inspection covers the most common problems found on any particular airframe and covers critical and/or expensive items that are some times missed by other mechanics.
