Buyer's Agent

When you are purchasing a new aircraft it is important to have expert knowledge of the aircraft, warranty, aircraft inspection and purchase process. The Flight Academy has been helping buyers locate, negotiate, inspect and take delivery of aircraft for over 11 years.

The seller of the aircraft has an agent working for them to maximize price and help them navigate the sales process and we feel that buyers should have the same expertise working for them.

In a high value transaction it is important to look at all angles and make the right decision.

“My partner and I could not be happier with the services provided by The Flight Academy. We have purchased two planes through them and their thorough knowledge of the market proved to be invaluable. In addition we have both utilized them for transition training as well as my partner receiving his instrument rating through their instruction. In summary we would recommend them to anyone even considering a Cirrus or Cirrus training.”
– Peter Schick

Let The Flight Academy work with you to find out what options and specifications in an aircraft you are looking for. We will then search the market to find you the aircraft that meets your needs. We have an extensive network of aircraft owners and sales contacts and in some cases can locate aircraft that are not even on the market.

After we have located an aircraft we will then negotiate the price using our knowledge of sales history, organize a pre-purchase inspection, handle escrow and title transfer. We can also arrange for delivery/pick up and your new aircraft and training.

 

Aircraft Management

Owning your own airplane can give you access to an entirely different lifestyle both personally and professionally. The ability to move quickly can help you expand your business and keep better tabs on remote locations. Fast and direct travel to will allow you to take a dream vacation in a quiet, out of the way place but you won’t have to spend all day getting there.

We’ll keep track of every maintenance item, ensure the plane is kept clean and ready to go, and even provide a professional pilot for any flight if desired.
