Long time lurker looking to pull the trigger on a C310. Does anyone have any recommendaitons on a shop around Northern Florida for a prebuy inspection?
Thanks in advance for any info
TAS in Ohio. Yes, it’s not close, but you want an expert to do the pre-buy and save you a lot of headaches. If you were in the South/Southwest I’d say Air Impressions in Waco TX. West cost I’d say OCR which I believe is at Long Beach.
Just purchased a “mint” Cessna twin that had a “fresh annual” from a Cessna service center. The pre-buy required $35k in repairs.
Look at the plane’s history. Has it flown on a regular basis? Who did the maintenance? Are you a member the Twin Cessna Flyers organization? If not, you need to be.
Go with maintenance organizations that know the plane.
