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.

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:

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.
