7. Those "whiz bang" avionics on new planes create inferior pilots!
On contrary! Today's new equipment is all designed with increased safety as prime motivator! Weather systems, traffic, navigational systems all provide pilot with additional tools and resources in cockpit where they're needed! After all, what good are they on ground? Of course, pilots need additional training to learn equipment. . . Inferior pilot???? http://www.airplanenoise.com/articles/Addressing%20Safety%20with%20New%20Avionics.doc
8. Finding a partner will make my aircraft purchase easier.
Well, perhaps financially. But is money you save worth losing availability, as well as a friend/partner? There are several areas for conflict from fair distribution of finances to cleanliness of airplane. Before I throw a wet towel over idea let me also admit that many partnerships are very successful. Just remember. . . your choice of partner should be taken very seriously. In fact some say that choosing your partner is similar to choosing a spouse! http://www.aopa.org/members/files/guides/multiple.html
9. Leasebacks are all 1-sided. (In favor of flight school)
Just like choosing a partner, choosing right flight school to partner with is critical to success of your leaseback. If you've done your due diligence, you'll find leaseback arrangement to be a "win-win-win" situation: The school wins because they keep their cash for growing their business
The owner wins with revenue generated and terrific tax incentives.
The flight students win because they now have one more airplane at their disposal.
Once again. . . proper planning!
