What the checklist includes (and why it saves you headaches)

Quick listing filter

Questions and checks to discard in minutes what doesn't deserve a call.

Essential minimum documentation

What to ask for so you don't go in blind (and what they usually hide when they don't provide it).

Airworthiness and compliance

AD/SB, ARC, expirations, and traceability: what decides if the aircraft is viable… or an expensive trap.

Engine and propeller

Risk signals, history, and costs that usually 'appear' late if you don't ask properly.

Structure and corrosion

What turns a purchase into a money pit: symptoms, typical areas, and how to investigate without beating around the bush.

Avionics

Compatibilities, mandatory upgrades, and bills that eat your budget if you don't anticipate them.

Who is this checklist for?

Yes, if you…

  • Are browsing listings and want to filter before traveling or booking a hangar
  • Are buying your first aircraft and don't want to learn from hard knocks
  • Are comparing 2 to 5 options and need a simple method to decide

Not for you if…

  • You're looking for a marketplace with listings (I don't sell ads)
  • You want to 'buy today' without documentation or a serious pre-buy

I'm Ayram and I work on the buyer's side

I help you buy with method: filter options, ask the right questions, detect risks, and coordinate a serious pre-buy. I work on the buyer's side: I don't represent sellers and don't take hidden commissions. If you're about to take the step, my goal is simple: that you sign with clarity, with the total cost understood, and with an exit planned.

  • Pilot and instructor: real operational vision
  • Practical approach: documentation + risk + total cost
  • Discreet, clear, and documented process

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work for any aircraft?

Yes: it's a common base. Then each model has its 'hot spots' and nuances.

Do you sell aircraft?

No. I'm a buyer's advisor. If I need references, I look for them, but my loyalty is to you.

How long does it take to arrive?

It arrives immediately. If you don't see it, check spam or promotions.

Will you call me if I download it?

I don't make surprise calls. I send you the PDF and, if you want, you can reply with the listing link for initial guidance.
