Pre-owned business jets across very-light, light, midsize, super-midsize, and ultra-long-range cabins.
- Range and runway pair — Match advertised range to your true mission — block speed degrades into headwinds and short fields cut payload.
- Cabin generation and amenities — Soundproofing, lavatory access, and Gogo connectivity vary widely by year — aim for post-2018 if you fly with passengers regularly.

Single and twin turboprops for owner-pilots, charter, and short-runway operators.
- PT6 hot-section status — Most singles run on PT6 variants — hot-section reserves and TBO position drive the next 4 years of operating cost.
- Garmin generation — G1000 NXi vs G3000 affects ADS-B compliance, autoland availability, and resale demand.

Single and twin piston aircraft from owner-flown trainers to high-performance retracts.
- Engine time and SMOH — Time since major overhaul drives 30–60% of value. Look for mid-time engines from reputable shops with logbooks.
- Avionics and IFR readiness — Garmin GTN 750 / G1000 / Avidyne IFD pricing varies $20–60K — factor a panel upgrade if you fly hard IFR.

Light, intermediate, and medium turbine helicopters for utility, EMS, and corporate transport.
- Component time and overhaul cycle — MRBs, gearboxes, and main rotor blades have life-limited cycles. Buying near overhaul threatens hidden cost.
- Engine maintenance plan — PT6B/C, Arriel 2, or Rolls-Royce 250 all have JSSI-style programs — confirm transferability.

Entry-level and very-light jet category — efficient single-pilot certified turbofans.
- Single-pilot type rating cost — Initial type rating + recurrent (FlightSafety / Simcom) typically runs $20–40K in year one.
- Useful load with full fuel — VLJs trade payload for range — confirm three-pax full-fuel operation before signing.

Light-Sport, experimental, and Part 23 amphibious aircraft for sport and recreational missions.
- Build quality and inspection record — For experimentals, the original builder logbook and condition inspection history dictate insurability.
- Engine program (Rotax vs Lycoming) — Rotax 912 service intervals (200hr) differ from Lycoming TBO. Plan reserves accordingly.

Restored historic military aircraft — trainers, fighters, and bombers in flying or static condition.
- Provenance and documentation — Original logs, period restoration history, and combat provenance can move value 2–10×.
- Airworthiness category — Experimental Exhibition vs Limited vs Standard each impose different insurance and operating limits.

Amphibious aircraft and float-equipped types for water and mixed-surface operations.
- Hull and float corrosion — Salt-water ops accelerate corrosion. Pull rivets, inspect bilges, and budget for hull recoats every 5–7 years.
- Pump-out and bilge integrity — Confirm operating bilge pumps, rigged sponsons, and step-bottom integrity on takeoff.

Freighter conversions and cargo-capable airframes for regional and long-haul operations.
- Cargo door and floor rating — Main-deck door dimensions, ULD compatibility, and cargo floor PSI rating define the missions you can quote.
- Engine cycle limits — Cargo ops cycle engines harder. Mid-life engines with documented hot-section reserves resell better.

Aerial application and firefighting aircraft for spray, seeding, and direct-attack operations.
- Hopper and pump condition — PT6 ag aircraft with worn pumps lose dispatch rate fast. Confirm hopper liner, GPS swath system, and dispersal hardware.
- Airframe corrosion from chemicals — Chemical exposure attacks lower wing skins and tail surfaces. Borescope and rivet survey is mandatory.

Primary, instrument, and complex training aircraft for flight schools and owner-trainers.
- Cycles vs hours — Trainers accumulate cycles fast. A 6,000-hour trainer with 18,000 cycles is a different airplane than a 6,000-hour cruiser.
- Avionics for IFR currency — GPS, dual nav/com, and CDI/HSI integration affect what ratings the airplane can earn for students.

Surveillance, eVTOL, electric, and unmanned platforms for emerging mission profiles.
- Certification path — Type-certified vs experimental vs Part 107 affects who can operate, and where, and for what payload.
- Sensor and payload integration — EO/IR turret, SAR, or LIDAR mounts each carry STC paperwork and cabling complexity. Verify before purchase.
