Aircraft Financing Considerations
What Lenders Look For
- Age-related corrosion in older airframes
- Check SMOH carefully—O-200 typically 1800 TBO
- Fabric wear in seats and headliner
- Manual flap actuator condition
- Verify all AD compliance (seat tracks, etc.)
Pre-Buy Inspection Focus Areas
A thorough pre-buy inspection is essential before purchasing any aircraft. For the Cessna 150, pay special attention to:
- Corrosion in lower fuselage, strut attach points
- Wing spar corrosion (common in high-humidity storage)
- Exhaust system condition
- Fuel tank sealant condition
