Pre-buy Inspection

I respectfully disagree. A prebuy inspection is what **I** am comfortable with.
And, as I said, I don't do them, because my comfort level is way to hell and
gone off the top end. I want that person buying that airplane to know every
little wear pattern on the airplane, in stark contrast to my annuals which
certify that no part is beyond wear or airworthiness limits.

I stick to my guns. An annual is 2 hours (more or less) of pure inspection. A
prebuy to my standards is 25 hours or so; that's my 12:1 ratio I talked about.
That's why I don't do them for anybody but myself.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-There really is no such thing as "a standard pre-buy". A pre buy can
-consist of anything you authorize the mechanic to do.
