1. SHOULD YOU BUY
AN AIRCRAFT?

2. Buying an aircraft is not like buying a car; it is more complex,
except if you have a methodical approach and a clear plan of
action. They say luxury is the prime purpose of private jets. But
it’s a myth. Some people buy if they have a passion for flying and
then there are people who buy jets depending on their business
needs to fly several hours in a year. So it totally depends on the
user’s purpose. Performance, features and costs are some of the
terms to be kept in mind for the first time aircraft buyers. Getting
a professional guidance from an experienced aircraft broker is
also of prime importance while making the right aircraft
selection, as well
as to a successful
acquisition.
There are
various factors to
be considered as
to why you
should buy a private jet.

3. Acquisition Budget:
The first place to start is always the budget.
How much should you spend on a private jet? An aircraft is a tool
which is used to propel business growth and make your life
simple. Depending on your need, you should first decide whether
to buy a new aircraft or a used one.

4. Flying Hours:
Second thing to be asking yourself is how much do
you fly in a year? If you spend 100 to 200 hrs a year in the sky
then it’s just ok to rent a private jet. But if it’s more like 250 to
500 hrs, its best to own a private jet. It doesn’t matter if you using
it for business purpose or for leisure. What matters the most is the
annual flying hours.

5. Travel Routine:
The type of travel for which a private jet is
intended. Like you going to fly one way and return on the same
day or you plan to remain at the destination for a week or more. If
you fly and return on the same day then it is not a matter of
concern. But if it’s the other way around then the pilots, crew and
the plane itself must be accommodated for that entire period of
time or sent home. In both cases, once added up, those costs may
very well outweigh the benefits of buying in the first place.

6. Range :
It is very important to know the range of an aircraft as
to where the aircraft can reach before taking a second fuel stop.
Whether the destination can be accessed nonstop or will a stop
along the way be acceptable? If you mostly fly within the country,
a mid jet should suffice the need, however if you are a frequent
international flyer, you should consider buying a heavy jet.

7. Cabin:
There are various features to consider as in cabin size,
number of seats, lavatory and baggage volume. Stand-up cabins
are always comfortable, the bigger the cabin, the bigger the space.
Easy to accommodate a group of 6 to 10 people. Then the last
thing which comes to our mind is the storage space. What is it
that you need the storage space for? Some mid and light aircraft
have baggage compartments loadable only from the interior,
while others have larger exterior baggage space in the nose and
tail of the aircraft.

8. Runway Performance:
It is very important to know the
runway lengths of the airports which we use frequently. Larger
aircrafts usually require more runways for take-off and landing.
The lighter the aircraft, less runway needed.
