"I've been in this hangar a long time. Ask me about any aircraft, any rate, any structure. I don't have a hold queue and I don't give you the runaround."
You've turned from the grass strip. Every instrument on this panel is a tool for putting you in the left seat of the aircraft you want to fly.
A $2 million turboprop at a 37% marginal rate generates $740,000 in deferred federal tax in year one. October is the last comfortable entry point for a December 31 close.
The aircraft are right here. Every make, every mission, every structure. We know them all.
Cirrus Aircraft
When FLYING Magazine covers the TBM 960, we also finance it. When AvBuyer publishes a buyer's guide, we wrote the financing section. No independent aircraft finance broker has this moat.
The world is behind you. It starts here.
Fast, efficient and focused until closing.
The loan I got through them was way better than anyone else had quoted me. 10/10.
Never had to go chasing, and was kept aware of everything throughout the process.
Already recommended FLYING Finance to other people. Really great experience.
No hold queue. No portal. Two specialists. One call.
FLYING Finance is an aircraft financing broker owned by Firecrown, the publisher of FLYING Magazine, KITPLANES, Plane & Pilot and AVweb. We are not tied to one bank. We match each borrower with the lender that fits the aircraft, the mission and the credit profile.
Certified pistons, turboprops, light and midsize jets, light sport and MOSAIC aircraft, experimental and kit-built aircraft, helicopters, floatplanes, and avionics upgrades. New and pre-owned aircraft both qualify.
Pre-approval usually takes one to two business days from a complete file. Full approval after you pick an aircraft typically takes three to five more days, and closing runs one to three days once documents are in.
No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull with no credit impact. A hard inquiry happens only when your application is sent to one targeted lender.
Most aviation lenders start around 680, with the best pricing from about 720. Down payment, liquidity and income also count, so a score below 680 is not an automatic no.
