The scope of an “appraisal inspection” is similar to that of a “collateral inspection,” however, the degree of examination is somewhat more extensive. This inspection consists of a preliminary inspection and review of the aircraft and records. The inspection process typically takes one to two days, exclusive of travel time. In some cases it may take more time, based on the age of the aircraft and the condition and completeness of the records. Although this inspection does not involve an in-depth review and verification of the maintenance and inspection status of the aircraft, there is an emphasis on identifying whether or not the aircraft has sustained any damage and whether any records are missing. Obvious anomalies are identified and a conditional opinion is rendered as to the general airworthiness of the aircraft as indicated by the owner’s representations.
