Shawn26 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hello, Looking for a good reputable IA for Pre Buy Inspection in Seattle near KSHN on a Mooney M20J. Any recommendation around the vicinity. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob - S50 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 How far are they willing to fly it for the inspection? There is a Mooney Service Center at Troutdale (TTD) near Portland and a new one at Bellingham (BLI). Advanced Aircraft Services, LLC 1590 NW Perimeter Way Troutdale, Oregon 97060 503-465-2298 Command Aviation 360.733.3174 877.770.1070 toll free 4201 Mitchell Way Bellingham, WA 98226 We (and several other Mooney owners) have our plane maintained by B&C Quality Aircraft Maintenance, LLC 253-278-4832 Mike (B&C) is based at Auburn (S50). There is another maintenance group that does quite a few Mooneys at Auburn: Cornerstone Aviation, LLC 253-939-8750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendation around the vicinity. Thanks Advanced Aircraft is a MSC and Greg is the person to talk to. They do good work, but do charge a bit more for work. I don't know how much they charge for a pre-buy, but they generally seem to run $850-950 at a MSC. On the other hand, a pre-buy does not technically require an IA, since it's not really an FAA inspection, it can be done by anyone, although I assume you'd want it to be at least an A&P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn26 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks a lot. I would rather have a IA do the pre buy inspection and not A&P so they can look at all the logs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob - S50 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'm pretty sure Mike (at Auburn) is an AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're better off looking for a mechanic that knows Mooneys and their problem areas instead of a guy who hasn't been out of his office in 10 years but happens to have his IA.
