This document is a prebuy evaluation checklist specifically for the Cessna 177. It is designed to guide mechanics and inspectors through a thorough examination of the aircraft before purchase. The checklist is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on operational checks and engine inspections, while Phase 2 covers landing gear, cabin, and airframe assessments. Each section includes detailed tasks to ensure the aircraft is in good condition and compliant with maintenance standards. The checklist emphasizes the importance of reporting findings at the end of each phase, particularly if any high-cost issues are identified.
- Estimated labor hours for checklist completion: 12 hours for fixed gear, 16 hours for retractable airplanes.
- Perform engine cylinder compression checks and report findings, particularly for audible air leakage.
- Inspect spark plugs for abnormal conditions and report the type and brand installed.
- Check for compliance with airworthiness directives and ensure maintenance records are complete.
- Conduct a thorough visual inspection of the airframe for cracks, corrosion, and overall condition.
