Buyer Considerations

  • Verify FAA registration status is current and not expired or revoked
  • Check NTSB records for any accidents or incidents tied to this specific airframe
  • Review applicable Airworthiness Directives (ADs) for the Piper PA-34 Seneca airframe and Continental TSIO-360 / Lycoming TIO-360 engine
  • Trace the chain of registered owners, and note where the FAA’s records for the airframe begin
  • Order the aircraft’s complete records from the FAA or a records agency for the major repair and alteration paperwork, which is not in any machine-readable federal source — then have your mechanic check each applicable directive against the logbooks

Why run a TailCheck on a Piper PA-34 Seneca?

Before purchasing any used Piper PA-34 Seneca, a thorough review of the federal record is essential. TailCheck reads four of them — the FAA registration and owner of record, NTSB accidents matched to the airframe by serial number, the airworthiness directives whose applicability statement names the make and model, and the chain of registered owners — against each other, and hands you the questions they raise for the seller and the mechanic. Each record is stamped with the date of the file we read it in, and the report says on its own page what it did not check and where to buy it.
