Question: Is there an age of airplane or number of airframe engine hours that is off-limits for financing?
Answer: For piston aircraft, our lenders do not have any age restrictions. Aircraft manufactured prior to 1960 may require a larger down payment and/or shorter term. Airframe time is restricted to less than 10,000 hours. Lenders prefer mid-time engines or less, however, financing an overhaul into the purchase is always an option for those with higher times.
