This Isn’t Theory. This Is Our Business Model.

We don’t teach aircraft leasing — we operate it.

Zach Purvis and Aviation Ape actively own and manage aircraft leased to flight schools and flying clubs nationwide. This is the same model used to acquire, place, and oversee aircraft on behalf of our clients.

We handle the entire process, including:

  • Aircraft acquisition

  • Pre-buy inspections and due diligence

  • Financing coordination (when applicable)

  • Lease placement with vetted operators

  • Ongoing oversight and asset management

Clients benefit from:

  • Cash-flowing lease revenue

  • 100% bonus depreciation (when applicable)

  • Zero day-to-day operational involvement

This Is Buyer Representation — Not Brokerage.

When you buy an aircraft through Aviation Ape, you are not working with a seller’s broker.

You hire Zach Purvis and Aviation Ape, Inc. as your exclusive buyer’s agent, representing only your interests throughout the acquisition process. We manage the transaction end-to-end using the same systems we use to acquire and place aircraft across our own portfolio.

  • No commissions.

  • No percentage of purchase price.

  • No incentive to push a specific airplane.

We work for you — not the seller.

How Aircraft Acquisition Works

Strategy & Mission Review

We define your mission, budget, ownership structure, and risk tolerance.

Aircraft Sourcing

On-market and off-market search with direct outreach to owners, brokers, and operators.

Negotiation & Deal Structuring

Price negotiation, deposits, contingencies, and purchase agreement strategy.

Due Diligence Management

Pre-buy inspection coordination, maintenance and logbook review, title and lien checks.

Closing & Delivery

FAA paperwork, escrow coordination, insurance alignment, and delivery oversight.

You are supported from first call to final delivery.

Why This Program Exists

Most aircraft buyers

  • Overpay

  • Trust seller-side brokers

  • Miss maintenance landmines

  • Don’t know what they don’t know

This program exists so you:

  • Buy once

  • Buy right

  • Buy protected

Aircraft are not purchased correctly by accident — they’re acquired with representation.
