The FLYING Finance Advantage

The only broker backed by aviation's
largest media empire.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLYING Finance?

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.

What kinds of aircraft do you finance?

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.

How long does pre-approval take?

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.

Does pre-approval affect my credit?

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.

What credit score do I need?

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.
