Mission Profile
We begin by understanding your overall mission profile and budget. Based on your needs, we present a tailored selection of aircraft models and provide a comparison of fixed and variable costs, along with performance summaries. We also help evaluate financing options, anticipated transaction costs, and whether a turnkey aircraft or a project aircraft is right for you.
Market Research
Once a model is selected, we conduct a comprehensive market analysis—including sales comps and historical transaction data from the past 6–12 months. We initiate a global search, contacting brokers, manufacturers, and owners to locate aircraft that best match your criteria.
Evaluation and Offer
Together, we narrow the list to your top three aircraft. We perform a detailed history review of each, attend showings in person, and obtain maintenance or refurbishment quotes when applicable. You’ll receive a full market value analysis and strategic guidance on offer terms. We then draft the letter of intent, negotiate the best price, prepare and review the purchase agreement, coordinate title company documentation, and consult with our legal and tax experts as needed.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
We handle all logistics of the pre-purchase inspection, including coordinating with the maintenance facility and personally accompanying the aircraft to ensure a smooth check-in. We monitor the inspection in real-time, review the survey report, consult with specialized technicians, address findings with the seller, and manage the acceptance documentation.
Closing and Delivery
We manage every aspect of the closing, including FAA documentation, coordination with the title company, and closing checklist execution. We’re also present with your aircraft during closing to resolve any last-minute issues, ensuring a seamless transition to ownership.
Relationship
Delivery is just the beginning. As your trusted partner, we remain available to support you throughout your ownership journey—whether you need operational guidance, maintenance advice, or are preparing for your next aircraft transition. We’re here to make ownership easy, enjoyable, and rewarding!
Pre-Purchase Inspection
We coordinate directly with the maintenance facility to make arrangements for the pre-purchase inspection. In addition, we personally accompany the aircraft to the maintenance facility to ensure a smooth check-in process and pre-purchase survey. We constantly monitor the inspection to stay ahead of any issues, review the survey report, make recommendations accordingly, consult with our aircraft specific maintenance technicians, as needed, handle the resolution of inspection issues with the seller and prepare the aircraft acceptance documentation.
Closing and Delivery
We work closely with the title company on a closing checklist and prepare all necessary documentation, as well as, provide the required FAA title documents, coordinate the closing process with all parties, provide advice on any closing issues, consult with our aviation tax advisors or aviation legal counsel, as required, and coordinate aircraft delivery and acceptance documentation. In addition, we will personally be with your aircraft during the closing process, allowing us to be on location in the event of any last-minute closing complications.
