Buying a plane in the USA…
Before we go hunting, let's start at the beginning...
The process involves many steps and care to ensure success in acquiring, importing and registering your plane. Let's break down the different stages of this process:
Step One:
Determine which aircraft is right for you, taking into account your specific needs and preferences. Here is a guide to help you make an informed decision:
Mission Profile:
Define the main purpose of your flights: business travel, leisure, medical transportation, etc.
Determine the typical number of passengers, destinations and distances you will fly.
Performance:
Consider range: the maximum distance the aircraft can fly without refueling.
Watch your speed: Cruising speed affects travel time between destinations.
Takeoff and landing performance: Important for accessing shorter runways or restricted airports.
Cab Capacity and Layout:
Assess passenger capacity: Consider how many people will be flying with you regularly.
Examine the cabin size and layout: Make sure it meets your needs for comfort and functionality, such as seating configurations, bathroom facilities, and luggage space.
Operational costs:
Evaluate the purchase cost: The purchase price can vary significantly depending on the make, model, age and condition of the aircraft.
Consider operating expenses: Fuel, maintenance, insurance, hangar fees, crew salaries and other ongoing costs.
Maintenance and Support :
Consider the manufacturer's reputation for reliability and customer support.
Determine the availability of spare parts and maintenance facilities, especially if you plan to operate in remote areas.
Investigate the availability and cost of maintenance services.
T echnology and Avionics :
Evaluate the aircraft's avionics suite: Consider features such as autopilot, navigation systems, weather radar, and communications equipment.
Assess compatibility with your preferred navigation and communication patterns.
Resale Value and Depreciation:
Research historical trends for aircraft resale value and depreciation rates.
Consider factors that affect resale value, such as market demand, technological advances and regulatory changes.
Regulatory Compliance:
Ensure that the aircraft meets the regulatory requirements relevant to its intended operations.
Consider future regulatory changes that may affect the airworthiness or operating costs of the aircraft.
Ownership Structure :
Explore ownership options: Direct ownership, fractional ownership, charter or lease.
Consider the tax implications, liability exposure, and operational flexibility associated with each ownership structure.
