4. ... If you want to be really anal, get a list of all ADs for
that model plane, and make sure they've all been complied with. (This

Impossible for a renter. Maybe even impossible for an IA. Unless the FBO

see if the AD work was actually done. But you *can* check to see that
it was signed off as having BEEN done.
