What each waypoint means in the real world.

Waypoint 01
Letter of Intent
You've found an aircraft. The LOI locks in the price and your right to inspect before committing to purchase.

FLYING Finance reviews your credit, income, and net worth. Soft pull only. Rate and term in two business days.
Waypoint 03
Appraisal
The lender establishes the aircraft's current market value. This sets the collateral basis for the loan.
