“Concierge Level Service!
I highly recommend using Airplane Intel if you are considering purchasing an aircraft. Adam spent the time to review my mission requirements and budget. He and Shane guided me through the search, inspection, purchase, and annual of my airplane. Their Buyer’s Assistance Program was well worth the cost. They took care of all the details involved in the process. I am certain Airplane Intel saved me thousands of dollars due to their meticulous work and management of all the negotiations, paperwork requirements, and maintenance issues.

I would never buy an aircraft without Airplane Intel by my side.”

“I needed a prebuy on a King Air F90 located in Los Angeles. I was very satisfied with the service I received; your flexibility and ability to get this done in a timely fashion made a big difference. Also, the conversations were very proactive and easy. I was able to buy remotely a plane that was site unseen thanks to your efforts and the trust I developed with both you and the seller. I think you guys did a great job, the value proposition, I hope, was good for both of us.”

“I had a lot of questions and needed a lot of advice in the process because this was my first time buying a plane. Shane walked us through everything patiently as we decided on an aircraft. Everyone at Airplane Intel helped to make the process manageable and enjoyable. The prebuy inspection was very thorough and a great learning experience for me to witness. We took delivery yesterday, and as last-minute issues popped up Adam stepped in to help right away. Thank you!”

“I came in with no knowledge of what I needed to do. Adam helped me land on a make and model that was much more suited for what I needed than what I was originally thinking. Without you guys I know I would have payed a lot more in the long run maintaining a lesser quality plane. I have no idea what something like that would come out to because this is my first time venturing into this side of aviation but I would imagine it’d be a large amount. If anyone mentions that they are looking to buy a plane I will absolutely be an advocate for you guys.”

“Working between Adam and Shane was seamless and gave me a lot of confidence that competency was instilled throughout the Airplane Intel organization. Although the market is extremely busy, and their company has been growing rapidly, I saw no diminishing of attention and care. Work was all completed before the estimated deadlines, they worked on the weekend to fit my prebuy in sooner than their regular schedule would allow.

I considered another popular provider, but after getting to know Airplane Intel through the pre-buy process I will continue with Adam and Shane based on their extreme competence, their personal attention, and the fact that I just enjoy knowing them.

In addition to bringing enormous expertise to the process, they showed an exquisite attention to detail, they guided me well and proffered confidence all along the way. Shane also made a very positive impression on the seller during the pre-buy inspection which served me well in negotiating the closing.”

“I was looking for a pre-buy inspection on reasonably short notice. Even better was receiving other services I thought I would need to figure out myself, like the title and lien search, FAA docs, etc. I was extremely satisfied. Adam was communicative and timely in responses. When something came up requiring us to reschedule the inspection, Adam took care of the details in no time. Similarly, Daniel kept me updated as the inspection process progressed and while compiling the final reports.

I considered using another prebuy provider as well as arranging myself. Ultimately, I liked Airplane Intel’s model of having A&Ps in house, allowing the full cost to be predicted up front, rather than sourcing an A&P from an area shop, which also would require ferrying. We got the inspection done in the timeframe that worked for the seller and myself. The final report was thorough and I felt confident deciding to move forward. The whole process ended up being easier than I expected.

Thanks again for everything. I was very happy overall with the friendliness and professionalism you demonstrated. I would recommend Airplane Intel to anyone who was looking to purchase an aircraft! ”

“Very impressed with the service, you guys are extremely thorough. The professional quality of the reports makes them hard to argue with and provides great leverage with sellers/brokers.

You guys helped me make the difficult decision to pass on a problem airplane and made me feel confident in my purchase of the airplane I ended up with. I feel like I have a very solid idea of the mechanical shape the airplane is in and what problems I might expect.

I think you guys saved me from tens of thousands of dollars in problems on another airplane. Your coaching was the most valuable of all, actually. But I feel like with the final report, I have a good idea of where the airplane is at, and what we will focus on for the next annual at least.

I would especially recommend prospective buyers use your coaching, I found that help invaluable.”

“We were absolutely satisfied. The report was thorough and the presentation was outstanding. We considered taking the airplane to someone for the pre-buy but were limited by geography and pilot availability, but Airplane Intel was able to inspect the airplane at its home airport and test fly the airplane with the owner. Everything went very well! Thanks, Airplane Intel!”

“Could not have made a better choice for my Pre-purchase inspection. Shane and Adam are professional, thorough, and timely. They went above and beyond helping get a software issue solved before the ferry flight. Highly recommend.”

“I am very satisfied with the communication, knowledge of the industry, and accommodation of the process with a short timeline. Adam & Daniel helped me find the best plane available to me on the market, ensure it was worth the value agreed upon and help coordinate the delivery. I appreciate you, Adam and Daniel. This was my first aircraft purchase and you did a great job holding my hand through the process.”

“Adam and his team at Airplane Intel did such a fantastic and thorough job on our pre-buy that I feel it was a tremendous value. They were diligent about chasing down unknowns until they had solutions. Additionally, they provided each squawk with a price estimate which made it easy to present back to the seller. On top of that, they aided in communication with the seller which took one more thing off my plate. I highly recommend them!

You guys were so helpful and comforting through the process and easy to reach which was SO appreciated! ”

“Adam was highly knowledgeable about general aviation aircraft, maintenance issues, and paperwork. He was a pleasure to deal with on the phone, via email, and via FaceTime.

His responses were thorough and informative.
He saved me from pursuing several aircraft that were going to be problematic. The Podcast is very well done with insights from Don, Adam, and numerous aircraft owners and operators. I feel much more knowledgeable about the entire evaluation and purchase process thanks to these two gentlemen.

The evidence based approach helped me avoid decisions based on emotion. Adam is a good listener and understood my goals, requirements, and financial limitations. His sage advice really provided a value oriented approach to the process.

Get some expert guidance from someone like Adam or Don. Do not attempt to do this without assistance from knowledgeable people.”

“Airplane Intel actually protected me from not only a purchase with undisclosed issues, but those that could have also been a safety concern. Some of the issues would not have been discovered without a flight test and grateful that one was performed.

I did consider another popular company (at a lower cost) but the plane needed to be brought to one of their recommended locations VS Airplane Intel came to the plane. Also, Adam did the actual flight test and not sure if other A&P inspectors actually do a flight test themselves. You need to have a thorough Pre Buy done (including a flight test and records audit) to protect you financially and for your own safety.”

“I was very satisfied with my experience with Airplane Intel. The communication was very good, the written report was detailed and the discrepancy list was exactly that what I expected. Their report enabled me to get a plane in the condition I wanted to have it. With this report, I was able to advise the seller which items to correct at his expense.”

“I was pleased by the level of professionalism and services that I received. Airplane Intel is responsive and will tailor their consultation to your specific needs which increases efficiency. The experience base that the staff has amassed ensures accurate and straight forward analysis...

I feel that I saved tens of thousand of dollars by using Airplane Intel’s services.”

“I was absolutely satisfied with the service I received. Adam Sipe was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. Adam has an easy going demeanor and a positive communication skill that made learning easy for me. Adam is an accomplished, skillful pilot who stresses and exemplifies safety. Thank you for your professionalism and knowledge Adam. It was a pleasure learning from you. I hope to fly with you again someday.”

“Adam was very helpful and patient with me. He answered all of my questions, no matter how tedious they were. He stayed with me even when we changed our mind on the first plane we went after.
I found some other companies and had a list together of options. The whole process can be very overwhelming and intimidating and I wasn’t really even confident about what to ask for if I were to reach out to these companies. I think listening to your podcast really made me feel comfortable approaching you. I learned a lot listening to it and it not only showed me how knowledgeable you are but also how approachable you can be. A lot of people dismiss me because I am a woman; Adam was always respectful and professional.

And I will be back if I ever buy another aircraft.”

“I am very satisfied - Airplane Intel is very thorough and exercises excellent communication throughout the process. It’s well worth the investment - they saved me from making a $150,000 error!”

“My new M350 is great. Thanks again for your rapid response during my modified prebuy late last month. ”

“You helped me tremendously. From pointing me in the direction of the Matrix in the beginning based on my mission profile to the review of all FAA records, maintenance records, AD’s, on sight inspection and test flight. The purchase price and depreciation data was extremely helpful as well.

I felt that the process you took me through virtually guaranteed I was getting a good deal on a good airplane. Post purchase I have had absolutely no thoughts that anything was missed of left in question.”

“
I was kept informed and all my questions were answered during the entire process. Not only did Airplane Intel perform all the difficult tasks in the purchase process, they also educated me on the process as we went along.

I had no experience in purchasing an airplane. I had done a bunch of research prior to contacting Airplane Intel, but all I learned was that I need a professionals help in the process. I’m confident that the price I paid covered all the mistakes I would have made should I have tried to go it alone.

Airplane Intel is a very professionally run, and knowledgeable company. Even though I was purchasing a relatively low cost plane (C182), I felt I was treated the same as someone buying a King Air or Citation Jet.”

“I needed help with a prebuy and ferry flight on an airplane located several hundred miles away. I reached out to Airplane Intel and knew they were the right team for the job. They helped with the prebuy and negotiated the final sales price. They even delivered the airplane to my home airport!

The service was great! They were very thorough and worth every penny.”
