Leaseback

Sport aviation is growing rapidly. But the new sport pilot / light-sport aircraft rules are still a mystery to many flight schools and instructors. To locate a flight school offering sport pilot training and/or light-sport aircraft rentals, click on the "Flight School And Rental Finder" tab above. This is a great place to share ideas on learning to fly, flight schools, costs and anything else related to training.

Leaseback

Post by EppyGA »

I'm am interested to know if any of you have any experience with doing leasebacks to a flight school.

If so I would like to know what your experience was like.

It can be a great way to reduce your cost of ownership on an airplane. With just a few hours per week of rental income, it can pay for itself.

On the downside..."your" airplane is now being flown by other people. Will they keep it clean and baby it like you do? Probably not. You have to set the tone for the school of what your expectations of care are.

It can be good, or it can be depressing. It all depends upon what you want and need from the deal.
