What Each Engagement Covers

Every service is modular. Use what you need for a given transaction, or engage DCAS for the full arc of the deal.

Service 01

  • Upcoming heavy maintenance events
  • Engine overhaul & hot section schedules
  • Life-limited component timelines

Broker Value
Understanding projected maintenance obligations can be critical in aircraft valuation, purchase negotiation, and near-term cost planning, before your client is committed to anything.

Where aircraft access permits, DCAS interrogates onboard avionics and maintenance monitoring systems to surface known issues before they become inspection surprises.

  • Fuel Quantity Indicator (FQI) stored faults

  • Assistance interpreting maintenance facility reports

After Every Engagement

Structured Reporting. Every Time.

Every DCAS engagement concludes with organized, professional documentation, ready for your client files or transaction packet.

Video Documentation

Organized HD video documentation files covering the aircraft exterior, interior, and relevant system access points. Delivered in a format ready for client sharing or broker presentation.

Written Observation Summary

A structured written summary of all observations made during the engagement, organized by system or inspection area and clearly written for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Areas of Further Interest

Clear identification of items that may warrant closer inspection during a formal pre-buy event, so your client and their inspection team know exactly where to focus.

Broker-Ready Communication

All reporting is structured and written to support professional broker-client communication. No technical jargon, no ambiguity. Clear findings, clearly presented.

Important: DCAS services are observational and advisory in nature. They do not replace formal pre-buy inspections, ARCS inspections, or aircraft appraisals. They are designed to support and complement those processes, giving your clients and their advisors better information at every stage.
