05-04-2021, 09:01 AM #1Looking for a pre-buy inspection
Hello.
I am new to this Forum so I decided to go through the 'Member introduction' thread.
I am looking for some orientation for a pre-buy inspection.
I am interested in checking as much as possible. From maintenance records to those details that only experienced phenom pilots could know.
Any ideas?

05-19-2021, 12:20 PM #7Another Plus 1 for Westar - they recently did the pre-buy on our new-to-us 100 and like (Username Protected) said, do everything you can imagine. We had Eric Hammer of Elliot holding our hand and coordinating for us and I can't imagine going it alone without someone like him.

09-13-2021, 09:40 AM #8Phenom 100 lease for type
Hi All
i just joined and I am interested in getting a Phenom type rating, possibly in Southern California. Am interested in leasing a plane for that purpose.
I am also in the market for purchase of one, looking.
currently, flying an Eclipse 500.
if anyone can help directly or guide me towards someone who might be interested in letting me lease their aircraft, I would be grateful.
My time frame is mid Nov.
Thanks.

09-13-2021, 10:00 AM #9Welcome (Username Protected)!
Insurance has made it really hard recently for owners to dry lease planes, specially for training operations. I used to lease my P100 to Norton Aviation for training events, but had to stop when I switched underwriter.
It seems that most people buy first, then get typed OR they go to CAE in Dallas and get the initial in the simulator. -

09-16-2021, 03:32 PM #11(Username Protected), I am also an Eclipse driver and recently closed on a Phenom 100. I looked at different options for training including in plane and waiting until I actually find a plane, in plane and leasing a plane and CAE in Dallas. I've used Norton in the past and have always pleased. I've also used FlightSafety for both initial and recurrent in a Mustang. Ultimately I went with CAE for the reasons both you (tough market to find a plane) and (Username Protected) (harder to find a plane to lease) stated. CAE has a very high quality program with quality instructors. The simulator gets lots of use and shows its age a bit, lots of "simisms" but is still very good. I found this to be the best way to get the type rating done while looking for a plane.
