Frequently asked questions
What should I check before buying a private aircraft?
Typically a pre-purchase inspection at an approved maintenance facility, a full review of the logbooks and damage history, the status of scheduled maintenance, engine and APU program enrolment, avionics and the registration history. Many buyers use an independent technical advisor.
What is an engine maintenance program and why does it matter?
Under an hourly cost program, the operator pays a fixed rate per flight hour and the program covers scheduled and many unscheduled engine maintenance events. Aircraft enrolled in such programs are usually easier to resell and often command a higher price.
What does TTAF mean?
Total Time Airframe: the total number of flight hours since the aircraft was built. Together with the number of cycles (take-offs and landings) it indicates how intensively the aircraft has been used.
What are the main operating costs?
Fixed costs include crew, hangar, insurance, management and training. Variable costs include fuel, maintenance reserves, landing, handling and navigation fees. The total depends heavily on aircraft type and annual flight hours.
Can I offset costs through charter?
Only if the aircraft is operated by a company holding an Air Operator Certificate (AOC). Many owners place their aircraft with a management company that operates it for charter when the owner is not flying.
Does LuxuryBroker.com charge buyers a fee or commission?
No. Browsing, enquiries, search alerts and the Off-Market Desk are free for buyers, and LuxuryBroker.com takes no commission on any sale. Listing brokers pay a monthly fee per listing. Any fee for the broker's own services is agreed directly between you and the broker.
Can I be notified about new aircraft?
Yes. On any category or search results page, choose "Get new listings for this search by email" and enter your email address. After you confirm, you receive at most one email per day when new matching listings go online, and you can stop it with one click.
