Had and interesting conversation with a gent at a well known facility in southern CA this morning regarding a pre-buy inspection on an potential airplane. He had mentioned to me he does not do them... not that he doesn't do them in principle it is that he does detailed inspection of the aircraft that converts it to an annual once the inspection is done which is not something I am opposed to doing.
But, I have always been under the impression that these are really two separate inspections and require a different mindset when performing the inspection..... one is going to check for maintenance for airworthiness, and the other to give on overview of the airplane and any potential maintenance issues coming down the road..
So what is the consensus here on pre-buy vs. annual? one in the same, or two different inspections?
