| Step | What happens | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Pre-qualify | Short online application with a soft credit pull (no credit impact) | Minutes to apply; pre-approval in about 1 to 2 business days |
| 2. Choose the aircraft | Sign a purchase agreement and schedule the pre-buy inspection | Depends on your search |
| 3. Underwriting | Lender reviews income, liquidity, credit and the aircraft; full approval issued | About 3 to 5 business days |
| 4. Title and escrow | FAA title search, escrow opened, lien and registration paperwork prepared | Runs alongside underwriting |
| 5. Close | Documents signed, funds wired through escrow, FAA filings made | About 1 to 3 days once documents are in |
