How the assignment is structured

A phased technical and operational review designed to reduce uncertainty before purchase, delivery or acceptance.

Bluebair Jet converts the inspection evidence, residual technical exposure and upcoming maintenance requirements into clearly prioritised purchase conditions, budget provisions and follow-up actions.

Mission and aircraft selection

Before inspecting a specific aircraft, the intended mission should be tested against payload, range, runway performance, cabin, regulatory constraints, supportability and realistic operating cost. This prevents a technically attractive aircraft from becoming an operational mismatch.

  • Mission profile and utilisation assumptions
  • Payload, range and performance suitability
  • Airport and regulatory constraints
  • Parts, training and support ecosystem
  • Direct and indirect operating-cost exposure

Preliminary technical review

Available specifications and status reports are screened before committing to a full inspection. The objective is to identify obvious inconsistencies, high-value questions and the records that must be produced.

  • Configuration and equipment list
  • Maintenance status and upcoming events
  • Damage, repair and modification history
  • Engine and programme position
  • Apparent risks and missing information
Evidence before opinion
Evidence before opinionPhysical condition, records continuity and specialist findings are cross-checked so that a purchase decision is based on traceable evidence.

Records review

Records are examined for continuity, traceability and consistency—not merely presence. A document can exist and still fail to establish the status needed for valuation, operation or future maintenance planning.

  • Aircraft logbooks and maintenance statements
  • AD, SB and life-limited-part status
  • Engine and APU records
  • Weight, balance, avionics and equipment records
  • Damage, repair and modification substantiation
  • Missing, contradictory or incomplete entries

Physical inspection and functional checks

The agreed scope can cover external condition, cabin, cockpit, engines, landing gear and visible systems. Findings are documented and separated from cosmetic observations, operational limitations and items requiring specialist assessment.

  • General condition and configuration verification
  • Visible corrosion, leakage, damage and wear
  • Cabin, cockpit and avionics review
  • Engine and landing-gear visual review
  • Functional checks within the agreed scope

MRO work-scope and findings management

When an MRO is involved, we help define the work-scope, monitor inspection progress and translate findings into technical, cost and schedule consequences for the buyer.

  • Inspection work-scope definition
  • MRO and specialist coordination
  • Finding classification and evidence review
  • Cost and downtime estimation
  • Technical discussion and negotiation support

Demonstration or acceptance flight

Where appropriate, a qualified crew supports a prepared flight profile that complements the records review, physical inspection and functional checks. The profile is tailored to aircraft status, transaction objectives and the applicable operational framework.

  • Flight objectives and verification points
  • Crew and aircraft-status confirmation
  • Defect and observation recording
  • Post-flight technical coordination

Decision report

The final report consolidates evidence, limitations, unresolved points, financial exposure and recommended actions. Residual uncertainties and future maintenance exposure are presented clearly so that they can be reflected in the purchase conditions, budget and acceptance plan.

  • Executive risk summary
  • Technical findings and open questions
  • Potential cost and schedule exposure
  • Recommended conditions and follow-up actions
  • Purchase, acceptance or withdrawal decision support
