STS Pre-Purchase Inspection

With the high cost of turbine engine repair and overhaul, the greatest financial risk for a potential turbine aircraft operator rests with the engines. Due to the age of the components, the complex modification status and the high cost of parts, it is important that each engine be subjected to a technical qualification prior to the aircraft purchase. STS performs a "Quality-Plus" audit examining specific systems and components which will help our clients evaluate the risk involved with a particular aircraft purchase.

Our inspection includes, but is not limited to:

  • Engine record review
  • Engine system analysis Boroscope inspection of the compressor and turbine sections
  • Hot Section disassembly inspection
  • Vibration survey and analysis
  • Trend monitoring evaluation
  • Ground performance checks
  • Oil sample analysis
  • And much more
The engine inspection is the most critical initial step during the aircraft purchase process. A small engine problem can turn a good deal on an aircraft sour in a hurry.
