What kind of airplane should I buy?
First, you must consider the mission of your aircraft. Will you fly primarily by yourself? With friends and family? Do you need to fly in and out of short grass fields and haul heavy payloads? Or is speed and efficiency the important factor? Either way, we can help you identify an aircraft that meets your needs.
More than meets the eye
Aircraft owners are generally smart, successful individuals who excel in their trade. They are the experts at what they do. Thus, when it comes to buying an airplane, they sometimes feel as though they can make the purchase on their own without any assistance. This might be true, however, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will get the best value in the airplane they buy either. A “good deal” does not always turn out to be a good deal in the long run.
Having worked with numerous clients who have purchased aircraft on their own, it is not uncommon to find significant maintenance discrepancies or hidden problems on their newly-acquired plane. After feeling like they got a “steal” on the purchase, they quickly realize that spending money for expert guidance earlier could have saved them from the high cost and hassle of hidden issues further down the road.
