How To Buy An Airplane With Jamie Beckett Episode 4 - MzeroA Flight Training

[@W4ABN]

Looking through this series, I can see there's a lot of similarities between aircraft ownership and sailboat ownership. Parts markup, inspection fees, storage, labor costs for someone else to do any work. When you're talking about time spent fixing before using, in sailing, they say "no such thing as a free (cheap) boat" because a lot of money will be spent later on with repairs, maintenance, and upgrades.

Thanks for the insight, Daniel!

Enjoyed the series. I recently purchased a 172D. It wasn't a perfect aircraft (updating the avionics) but it was low time and the airframe was in excellent shape. I'm in the PNW and the GA used market is similar to real estate. I made a full cash offer on one aircraft and was prepared to do the same on another. Both were purchased by people who offered more than the asking price and waived a pre buy! In the end, for me, the 172 is a good aircraft to build time in and is cheap to insure. Both points that you discussed. Thanks again.

Thanks for the series Jamie! I'm going as much planning and preparing as I can do as I save up these next few years for a plane and for training. I found a lot of very useful points here where I have not found elsewhere, props!(hehe)

Thanks for the series, Jamie. Question: For a new-to-you airplane, can you cover tips on learning the plane? Should you fly with the owner for a few hours to know the tips and tricks? maybe both of you ferry it home and you pay for a return ticket via airline for him? Do some maneuvers and stalls? Or should you have your CFI fly it with you for a while? Especially if it's experimental or an engine you're not familiar with, or if it needs a fuel pump, or it's a canard or turboprop or you want to test out the fiki system or something, how do you learn about your plane without being the only one in the cockpit?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hi Alan! It is always good to fly a new airplane with an experienced CFI when you can! If not possible, flying with the owner is good too if they have plenty of experience in the aircraft. It is a good idea to bring a CFI along with you for the flight home if you can so he/she can provide quality instruction along the way and you can get more comfortable in the aircraft. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Michael!

[@cn9936]

Jaime let me guess is it a Beechcraft skipper? A piper tomahawk? Or a vans RV seven?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Not sure but glad you are enjoying the series! Thanks for watching!

[@ricardovalladares6052]

Fantastic, I'm student I got 13 hour looking to buy airplane that is a good idea or but.

[@boogerwood]

Great series. What type of lawyer should I contact for the llc?

[@josephbjornstad3065]

Thank you very much for this series. Its given me a lot to think about toward owning my own airplane. I wasn't serious before, but I have now changed my mind. Thank you for helping me always learn to be a better pilot, and maybe an airplane owner.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Joseph!

[@KevinSlez]

Great series! Very helpful for a future first time buyer like myself. Regarding the Pre-Buy Inspection... I don't know a bunch of A&Ps strategically placed throught the country. Is there a network of designated, reputable inspectors that we can call upon? (Maybe an AOPA or EAA directory??) Is it more recommended to send a local person you're connected mutually with through other local pilots across the country at your expense? Thanks in advance for the reponse!

[@aeroringordmngr8739]

Co ownership for me would be perfect. Now I just need to find a like minded, neat freak, Clean freak, cautious pilot who wants a newer LSA with auto pilot, a Rotax Fuel injected engine and a cool paint job. Oh, and they have to want to base out of KAPF. Any takers? haha. Thanks for the video series.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching! Hope it works out for you!

[@jonathanschnell382]

[@bobbyking8539]

Those video of buying a plane is great!! I’d love to buy one someday, P.S been trying to listen to the instrument pilot podcast on i tunes and it said it’s unavailable by y’all, can you explain that?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for the feedback, Bobby! Currently the podcasts are down but we are working on a solution. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, we are working to get them back up ASAP. Thanks for watching and fly safe!

[@harrisonmorgan8946]

Not sure if I will get a response since this was published a week ago, but would it be monetarily worth it to buy an aircraft if you're trying to make a career out of flying and could use it for flight training?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hi Harrison! It depends on a variety of factors such as cost, time it will take you to conduct training, location where it is stored, etc. Feel free to reach out to us at [e-mail] for more info!

[@harrisonmorgan8946]

@@MzeroAFlightTraining Thank you for your response! You never cease to impress.

[@asdf12345929]

Any tips on finding people to do a prebuy? I have a deposit on an airplane but don’t know anyone to do it. Also don’t have a pilots license yet so I can’t just fly it to another airport. How do you find someone good who can go there with you and look at it on the field?

[@garyk3983]

I add my thanks to the others below. Would you consider publishing this information in pamphlet form with checklists for these important items?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you for the suggestion and feedback, Gary! Glad you found the content useful!
