Would an airplane owner ever offer to share operating expenses for payment to share a plane? I certainly would not consider doing that with a minor who has no assetts or money. It's my house they're going to take if you run up more damages than the insurance will cover, and, in this neck of the woods, 1 million doesn't cover a whole lot.

Welllll.....
Here is what happened here... One of our partners is 24, working as a flight instructor and pushing airplanes around... He has little "up front cash" to invest... But he is a "partner" with enough shares on paper to qualify as a "part owner" . The other 3 of us could each write a cheque for the airplane, but operating costs are another matter (as most reading this NG are aware) ....So our airplane HAS TO FLY, and we need enough GOOD pilots involved to fly the thing 200 + hrs./yr. This guy is a GOOD pilot, (commercial IFR) and is a responsible person. He is the one who washes the aircraft when he is slack,( the other "instructors" would not stop so low). He sweeps/washes the floor, helps ANYONE pushing/handling their plane, and is far and away the the best employee at the FBO, even when no one is looking. One of our partners is 73 (retired Airline Capt, 31000+ hrs) who, because of age, "needs a checkout" G every 6 months for the insurance co. Guess who does this? And is weather comes in, he is close by to check the tiedowns etc. on "his" airplane... Works for us anyway... A senior in high school? That would be a reach. Personally I think you should be able to bring some "value" to the partnership. Our young "partner" (IMHO) brings significant value to our project.. Lotsa bucks up front was not the most important issue with us... YMMV...

Would an airplane owner ever offer to share operating expenses for payment to share a plane? i know that i would have to be put on an insurance plan, and i of course would pay for over half of the owners insurance payement, plus whatever kind of costs for annuals and other inspections. i know this is almost like co-ownership, but i don't have the resources to be buying a plane. I'm not trying to ask for something for nothing, as i've said, i'll pay for operating and insurance costs, as agreed with an owner. Well, how would you respond to this kind of proposal? let me know! Thanks in advance, Benjamin If you want to email me.... #b#a#s#o#g#@#r#r#c#n#e#t#.#o#r#g# |
