Q: Do you have financing options for light sport aircraft?

A: Yes, AOPA Finance can help secure financing for most light sport aircraft.  In most cases, LSA’s that have a well-established US market presence will have a few different financing options available.  For aircraft that are newer to the U.S., financing can be more challenging—but not impossible. We work with lenders who are open to considering these aircraft, particularly for financially strong applicants.
