Logbook Intelligence Reports
Two reports. Piston singles and twins.
A records aid for your purchase decision — not a legal record, and not an airworthiness determination. Extracted items are marked pending A&P/IA confirmation.
Screening Report
A fast, decision-oriented read of the logbooks before you spend real money on a prebuy.
- Extracted annual history (last 15 years) with gap flags
- Lifetime damage & repair keyword scan (all volumes), human-reviewed before delivery
- Engine & prop snapshot (SMOH, TBO, compressions) as recorded in the logs
- AD references found in the logbooks — a starting point for your A&P/IA, not a compliance audit
- Records confidence rating (how much the scans support)
- Proceed / Caution / Walk-Away framing with the specific findings behind it
Prebuy Intelligence Report
The deep read: human-reviewed extraction with the working papers your prebuy shop can verify against.
- Everything in the Screening Report
- Human-reviewed & corrected annual timeline (15 years)
- Itemized work history per annual, with source-page references
- AD reconciliation worksheet — every AD reference with its source page, ready for your IA to confirm or correct
- Mechanic review checklist (hand to your prebuy A&P/IA)
- Cost exposure ranges (type-specific estimates — planning aid, not a quote)
- Negotiation leverage sheet tied to specific findings
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take?
Screening Reports are typically delivered within 2 business days; Prebuy Intelligence within 2-4 business days depending on logbook volume.
What format do you need the logbooks in?
Scanned PDFs. We accept any scan quality, but higher resolution means better extraction accuracy. Poor-quality scans may incur a quality surcharge (disclosed before work begins).
What aircraft types do you cover?
Piston single and twin engine propeller aircraft only. No turboprops, no jets.
What's the difference between the two reports?
The Screening Report answers "should I even pursue this aircraft?" — fast and decision-oriented. Prebuy Intelligence answers "what am I walking into?" — a human-reviewed deep read with the itemized history and the AD reconciliation worksheet your prebuy shop verifies against.
What if there are errors in the extraction?
Flagged findings get human review before delivery, and anything we can't read clearly is marked missing rather than guessed. Extraction is never perfect, which is why every extracted item carries its source-page reference and a pending-A&P/IA-confirmation marker — and why we fix extraction errors you find at no charge.
Is this an AD compliance audit or an airworthiness determination?
No. We organize and cross-reference what is written in the logbooks, with source pages, so a qualified A&P/IA can do that determination faster and with better material. Only your mechanic or IA can make compliance and airworthiness calls.
