Among various options of buying/using a Cessna 172 or Cirrus Design
SR22 or any other similar light aircraft, roughly how many percents
fall under each category below?
The options I know are:
- Outright purchase: you pay the whole cost of the aircraft upfront
and own it
- Loan/purchase: you borrow money to buy the aircraft and offer it as
collateral on the loan
- Operating lease: you pay the leasing company to use the aircraft for
a certain period of time and return it at the end of the lease
- Financing lease: you borrow money to lease the aircraft on condition
that you buy it at the end of the lease
- Synthetic lease: something between the operating lease and financing
lease
- Fractional owner****p
I am wondering what is the most popular among the options above.
