Every review is written by the TailGuard analyst — an aviation maintenance professional. This is professional analysis of the public record: what the FAA, NTSB and maintenance databases say about this airframe, and what that means for you as a buyer. It is not an inspection, and not airworthiness advice — nothing replaces a physical pre-buy by a qualified mechanic. We tell you where to point the flashlight; your A&P holds it.
