Frequently Asked Questions

Aircraft lenders will use the aircraft as collateral and can provide financing for up to 80%-85% of the post-upgrade value of the aircraft. In most cases, labor and installation cannot be financed, so there will be some out-of-pocket expenses for the upgrade. If your aircraft is currently financed, it is likely that adding to your existing loan balance will require the loan to be refinanced. It’s very common to refinance a loan in order to pay for upgrades, however, rates today are higher than they were a few years ago, so you may not want to give up your current interest rate by refinancing.

Aircraft lenders will generally add value for most avionics upgrades and major engine overhauls. Aircraft lenders will not usually add value for paint and interior. It is always a good idea to work with an AOPA Aviation Finance analyst to establish the aircraft value from a lenders view using one of the online valuation resources.
