A Few Words on Required
Aircraft Inspections
Altimeter System Inspection
The aircraft’s static system, altimeter, and
automatic altitude-reporting (Mode C)
system must have been inspected and
tested in the preceding 24 calendar
months before flying instrument flight
rules (IFR) in controlled airspace. 14 CFR
Part 43, Appendix E, Altimeter System
Test and Inspection, lists the items that
must be checked.
Transponder Inspection
The transponder must be inspected every
24 calendar months. 14 CFR Part 43,
Appendix F, ATC Transponder Tests and
Inspections, lists the items that must be
checked. Additionally, the installation of
or modification to a transponder must be
inspected for data errors as well.
Preflight Inspection
A pilot is required to conduct a thorough
preflight inspection before every flight to
ensure that the aircraft is safe for flight.
Pilots should review the maintenance
status of the aircraft as a part of the
preflight inspection.
Our Services, Designed

opinion and appraisal report of the

A Low Time Engine May Not
Mean Quality and Value
Reading the “Aircraft for sale”
advertisements can be interesting and
misleading. As aviation-oriented people,
we are conditioned to look for certain bits
of information which we believe will allow
us to evaluate the product offered for
sale. In the case of airplanes, this
information can generally be segregated
into three categories – airframe, avionics
and engine. For purposes of this section,
you are on your own with respect to
airframe and avionics.
There does seem to be information on
engines which cannot be emphasized too
strongly. Engine information is usually
provided as hours of operation since new
or from some major maintenance event.
For example, 700 TTSN (Total Time Since
New) would indicate that the aircraft and
engine have been flown for 700 hours
since new from the factory. Other, but not
all, engine related abbreviations include
SMOH (hours since major overhaul),
SPOH (hours since prop overhaul), STOH
(hours since top overhaul) and SFRM
(hours since factory remanufacture).
Assuming that the recommended TBO
(Time Before Overhaul) of the engine
being considered is 1800 or 2000 hours, it
would appear that hours of use in the
400- to 800- hour range would
automatically make this engine a very
valuable commodity.
Unfortunately this is not always true, and
therefore an advertisement like this may
state numbers and facts which are
absolutely correct, but still misleading.
Consider a situation which occurred
recently. A Lycoming IO-360 engine with
less than 700 hours since new was
reported to be using oil at the rate of two-
thirds quart per hour and losing oil
pressure during flight. On closer
examination, it was determined that
deterioration and wear had caused metal
contamination throughout the engine. An
engine overhaul was necessary, and it
included replacement of items such as
the camshaft, oil pump gears and pistons.
Why should an engine with less than 700
hours since new be in this sad state?
It should be apparent that the number of
hours the engine has operated is only
part of the story. We need to know all the
facts if we are to understand what may
have happened to this normally reliable
engine, and also if we are to determine
the value of a lowtime engine in a
preowned airplane.
