Aircraft Ownership

Get started

Whether you are shopping for your first airplane or already own one, we will help you take the next step.

Aircraft management

What management includes

We handle the day-to-day of owning an airplane, and we help it earn its keep when you are not flying it.

Day-to-day care

  • Maintenance planning. Annuals, 100-hour inspections, ADs and squawks tracked and scheduled with your shop.
  • Records. Logbooks and hours kept organized and up to date.
  • Hangar, fuel and cleaning. Coordinated so the aircraft is ready on the ramp.
  • Owner reporting. Clear updates on hours, costs and upcoming items.
  • Scheduling. One calendar for your trips, maintenance and anyone else flying the airplane.
  • Crewing your airplane. Qualified Legacy Contract Pilots when you would rather ride in the back.

Make your airplane earn

  • Dry lease management. We vet the pilots, handle the lease paperwork, insurance and scheduling, and track hours and payments.
  • Flight school leaseback. Put the airplane to work training pilots when it would otherwise sit.
  • Charter leaseback. Lease the aircraft to a certified charter operator to fly paying trips.
  • Partnerships. Bring in co-owners to share fixed costs like the hangar, insurance and annual.
  • Instruction and checkouts. Other pilots can train or get insured in your airplane.

What fits depends on your airplane, its insurance and how often you fly it. We will walk you through the options.
