Tips for a Safe and effective Prebuy Examination.  When buying a pre-owned aircraft, it's essential to conduct a thorough and independent prebuy examination.

The outcomes for the buyers were very different, and there are important lessons to be learned here for anyone thinking about buying an aircraft.
