Process

These are the guidelines and process we use at Auslink Aviation to guide you through your aircraft purchases.

 

If you are interested in purchasing an aircraft or have any questions please feel free to

Define Your Needs

Before anything else, determine why you need the aircraft. Is it for personal use, business travel, or something else? Also, consider the range, capacity, and performance of the aircraft you’re looking for.

Budgeting

Define your budget. This should include the purchase price, ongoing operational costs, maintenance, insurance, hangar or parking fees, and potential finance costs if applicable.

Research

Start by researching various types and models of aircraft that fit your needs. Resources like the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) or trade magazines can be helpful.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Once you’ve identified a potential aircraft, arrange for a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic or maintenance organisation. This can identify potential issues or required repairs.

Logbook and Records Review

Scrutinise maintenance records, airworthiness directives, and other relevant documentation to ensure that the aircraft has been maintained correctly and to understand its history.

Negotiation and Purchase Agreement

Once you’re satisfied with the aircraft’s condition and documentation, negotiate the price. If both parties agree, you’ll typically draft a purchase agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of the sale.

Financing and Insurance

 If you’re not purchasing outright, you’ll need to secure financing. You’ll also need insurance before taking possession of the aircraft.

Title Search and Registration

Ensure there are no liens or encumbrances on the aircraft. Once purchased, register the aircraft in your name or your company’s name.

Closing the Sale

This typically involves payment, signing over the title, and other related paperwork.

Post-Purchase

Consider where you’ll store the aircraft (hangar or tiedown), set up regular maintenance schedules, and enrol in pilot training or type-specific training if the aircraft is unfamiliar.
