When buying a private jet, The GMX pre-purchase team acts as an independent entity to provide a non-biased and fair evaluation of the aircraft documentation, as well as a thorough physical inspection of the aircraft itself. Our pre-purchase inspections ensure that both documentation and actual condition of the aircraft meet the highest standards to give you complete confidence in your purchase decision.
An Asset Purchase Review (APR) is a critical element in the acquisition of a business jet, designed to reveal any potential issues before finalizing the purchase.
Global MX offers various levels of pre-purchase inspection depth ranging from basic to comprehensive. This presents a structured four-tier work scope and checklist for conducting asset purchase reviews on business jets, with each tier representing an increasing level of thoroughness and detail.
The work scope is designed to align with industry standards while accommodating varying degrees of jet buyer concerns and protection needs. Each tier provides descriptions of the pre-purchase inspection items to be accomplished along with estimated labor hours required, allowing potential purchasers to select the inspection level that best suits their potential private jet purchase requirements.
