Business, specialty and piston aircrafts are for sale to individuals or organizations. Generally, military planes are not for sale. The process is really complicated as it involves the approval from the country’s defense. Like cars, aircraft can be purchased through a loan. The planes are confined to that particular region where they were registered and hence they have to be obtained from the authorities of that particular Aviation Company. New and also used aircrafts can be obtained.
In general, 80 per cent of the sales are charters for commercial purpose. To know more about planes for sale you can login in to http://globalplanesearch.com, or http://globalair.com (the world’s largest business aviation Internet web site). Aircraft can be obtained from dealers, brokers and private sellers across the world. The aircraft are advertised on the websites or auctioned for sale. New airplanes for sale from featured manufacturers like Cessna, Piper, Liberty, Socata, Luscombe, Diamond, and Tiger will also be listed in the websites. Through Airshow Aircraft sales, which started in the year 1995, it has been easier for aircraft buyers and sellers to meet and exchange information. The aircraft are listed in most websites according to manufacturer, broker, type and location, so it is easier for the customer.
The various planes that can be bought are jet, single-engine, multi-engine, helicopter, experimental, warplanes, seaplanes, antiques or turboprops. Even parts of a plane are sold. Many planes cost approximately $50,000 like those in the FAA Sport Light Category. New planes cost approximately $300,000.
Many people cannot afford a $20,000 Cessna 150. Many other people buy brand new aircraft for $300,000 or more. Each is in its own “affordable” category.
Nevertheless, the purchase price isn’t really the biggest hurdle. The hourly operating cost is what stops many people from buying. You can always get a partner if you do not have enough for the purchase price, but if you can’t afford the hourly operating cost, you cannot fly. It costs a certain amount of money to operate an aircraft.
Each “category” has some basic figure. A two-place, fixed-gear, all-metal aircraft will cost a certain amount to fly per hour. There will be engine set asides for overhauls, fuel used, annual maintenance and unexpected maintenance. There is also insurance and storage. Even the Sport Category aircraft are costly to operate.
The above-mentioned Cessna can burn auto fuel if needed. But they still need oil changes, spark plugs and annual inspections. So it is better to consider the maintenance cost of the flight before buying.
