Buying and Owning Your Own Airplane
Ellis, James E.
Second Edition
Buying an airplane isn't as easy as it sounds. But it's not all that hard, either - if you read Buying and Owning Your Own Airplane. This handy book asks all the right questions and has all the information you'll want to consider if you're thinking of buying your own airplane.
In this second edition, you'll find everything you found in the first: from selecting partners and home fields to negotiating sales contracts to maintaining and upgrading your treasured bird. And don't overlook this important feature - a survey of the types of planes, new and used, that you can expect to find for sale. Plus you'll find new information essential for buying aircraft today. Every chapter is updated, delivering such information as the new requirements for obtaining and retaining insurance coverage, the effect of tax law changes on leasebacks, and how the turbulence of the 1980s changed the general aviation industry. Also:
• Why ultralights were just a passing fad and why homebuilt and kitbuilt aircraft ownership must be approached with caution.
• Which airplanes you not only can but should use autogas in.
• More comprehensive coverage of what aircraft the first-time owner should buy, with analyses of the Cessna 177 Cardinal, Piper PA-38 Tomahawk, and Beech 77 Skipper.
• A comprehensive listing of aircraft owners' associations specializing in the care of specific types of aircraft.
• A new chapter, which examines complex single-engine aircraft and lets you expand your horizons into 200-plus horsepower singles and retractables ranging from the classic Cessna 180 to the state-of-the-art Piper Malibu Mirage.
Been flirting with the idea of owning your own plane lately? After reading this book, you may find that your dreams of owning one aren't so far off after all.
