Acquire Aircraft That Pay for Themselves
|
We source, acquire, and place aircraft into flight school and flying club leases — creating passive income and significant tax advantages for our clients.
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

How Passive Aircraft Leasing Works
Investor Strategy Call
We review your goals, available capital, and tax position.
Aircraft Sourcing
We identify suitable aircraft from both off-market and on-market inventory.
Pre-Buy & Acquisition
All due diligence and acquisition steps are handled end-to-end.
Lease Placement
The aircraft is placed with a flight school or flying club.
Ongoing Oversight
You maintain ownership while the aircraft operates in a passive structure.
Own the Aircraft. Let Someone Else Fly It.
Flight schools typically cover:
Maintenance
Insurance
Fuel
Hangar costs
Predictable lease revenue
Asset-backed ownership
Depreciation and tax advantages
Scalable, repeatable investment model
This is aircraft ownership structured as a business asset — not a personal expense.
