When buying, selling, or leasing an aircraft, complete and accurate technical records are essential. Missing or non-compliant records can delay transactions, reduce aircraft value, or even prevent delivery.

At ESI Aviation, our Technical Records Team delivers comprehensive pre-purchase audits to confirm accuracy, compliance, and readiness—helping you protect your investment and move through the transaction smoothly.

Why a Records Audit Matters

A professional records audit ensures:

• Aircraft, engine, and component records meet contract requirements.

• Issues are identified and resolved before delivery.

• Ownership transfer is efficient and hassle-free.

• The aircraft’s full market value is protected.

Our Audit Process

Our experts review all critical documentation, including:

• Aircraft, engine, and APU times & cycles.

• Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and compliance records.

• Engine shop reports, Life Limited Parts (LLPs), and disk status sheets.

• Landing gear, avionics, and hard-time component records.

• Maintenance checks, time logs, service bulletins, and engineering orders.

• Structural repair history and regulatory compliance (SSID, CPCP, aging programs).

• Cabin configuration, safety equipment, and certification data.

• Weight & balance, alterations, and historical operator records.

Global Expertise
With worldwide experience in aircraft deliveries, lease returns, and acceptance services, ESI Aviation provides independent, expert oversight for buyers, sellers, lessors, and operators. Our audits give you peace of mind and ensure every detail is correct before the deal closes.

Selling a business jet requires more than creating a listing—it requires complete, accurate, and well-organized records that highlight the true value of the aircraft. Missing or disorganized documentation can slow negotiations, reduce sale price, or even jeopardize the deal.

At ESI Aviation, we prepare your aircraft records for sale so you can move quickly, build buyer confidence, and maximize value.

Why Records Preparation Matters

• Builds Buyer Confidence – Clear, transparent documentation reassures buyers and their advisors.

• Expedites the Sale – Complete records minimize due diligence delays.

• Protects Value – Well-prepared documentation prevents price reductions and renegotiations.

Our Process

We ensure every record is complete, compliant, and presented in a buyer-friendly format, including:

• Logbooks and maintenance history

• Tracking reports (CAMP, Cescom, etc.), ADs & SBs

• Weight & balance and equipment lists

• Damage and repair documentation

• Life-limited parts status

• FAA forms and certificates

• Ownership history

We also:

• Resolve missing or incomplete records

• Verify regulatory compliance

• Prepare a professional aircraft spec sheet

• Organize loose equipment lists

With ESI Aviation, you don’t just prepare your jet for sale—you position it for a faster transaction, stronger buyer confidence, and the highest possible return on investment.

When it comes to business and private aviation, your aircraft records are just as valuable as the aircraft itself.

Disorganized or incomplete logbooks can delay inspections, increase maintenance costs, and even reduce resale value.

At ESI Aviation, we specialize in Aircraft Records Restructure & Organization—helping operators, buyers, and sellers protect their investment and streamline operations.

Restore Missing Aircraft Records. Protect Airworthiness. Recover Aircraft Value.

Missing, damaged, or incomplete aircraft maintenance records can significantly reduce an aircraft's value, delay transactions, complicate regulatory inspections, and create uncertainty regarding airworthiness. Whether records have been lost due to ownership changes, poor recordkeeping, natural disasters, or years of fragmented maintenance, ESI Aviation specializes in reconstructing aircraft maintenance records to restore compliance, improve marketability, and preserve asset value.

With decades of combined aviation maintenance and records management experience, ESI Aviation has successfully reconstructed aircraft records for owners, operators, brokers, maintenance facilities, financial institutions, and legal representatives worldwide. Our reconstruction process is thorough, methodical, and designed to produce the most complete historical record possible using every available source.

Our Reconstruction Process

Every reconstruction project begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the existing records to determine what information is missing and identify available sources for recovery. We then perform extensive research to locate, verify, and recreate historical maintenance documentation.

Our services may include:

• Recovery of maintenance records from CAMP, Traxxall, Veryon, and other maintenance tracking systems

• Research and retrieval of records from maintenance facilities, OEMs, service centers, repair stations, and previous operators

• Collection and organization of work orders, invoices, FAA Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificates, EASA Form One certificates, and component documentation

• Reconstruction of aircraft, engine, APU, landing gear, and component logbooks

• Recreation of chronological maintenance history

• Verification of Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance

• Review of Service Bulletin (SB) incorporation status

• Life-limited component research and status verification

• Airworthiness Limitation and Inspection Program verification

• Maintenance tracking software validation and correction

• Identification and documentation of record discrepancies

• Creation of professionally organized digital and physical records

Every recovered document is reviewed for accuracy and placed into a logical chronological format to create a complete and usable maintenance history.

More Than Replacing Missing Documents

Aircraft records reconstruction is much more than replacing missing paperwork. It requires understanding aircraft maintenance regulations, maintenance tracking systems, manufacturer documentation, inspection programs, and historical maintenance practices.

Our team evaluates the relationship between maintenance events, inspections, modifications, repairs, component installations, and regulatory requirements to ensure reconstructed records accurately reflect the aircraft's maintenance history.

When supporting documentation cannot be recovered, we clearly identify those gaps and provide recommendations to help owners determine the most appropriate path toward restoring documentation and maintaining regulatory compliance.

Protect Your Aircraft's Value

Aircraft maintenance records represent one of the most valuable assets associated with an aircraft. Complete, organized, and well-documented records inspire buyer confidence, simplify pre-purchase inspections, reduce transaction delays, and support higher resale values.

Incomplete records often result in:

• Reduced aircraft value

• Extended pre-purchase inspections

• Increased buyer scrutiny

• Financing complications

• Insurance concerns

• Import and export delays

• Regulatory compliance questions

• Higher maintenance research costs

Professional records reconstruction helps minimize these risks while providing owners with confidence that their aircraft's maintenance history has been thoroughly researched and documented.
