It is highly recommended that legal representation is a powerful asset for individuals seeking to sell airplanes.  Such a transaction is complex in nature and requires careful planning, meticulous legal drafting skills, and valuation.  A seasoned aviation lawyer affiliated with the airline industry and familiar with the details involved in selling an aircraft can help clients avoid countless hours of haggling and possible legal complications.  A competent aviation attorney will ensure that the sales contract contains the following:

  • Total cost, down payment and details of payment of the balance;
  • Detailed description of the airplane, includig its equipment;
  • The time, place and manner of its delivery;
  • The condition of the aircraft and known defects;
  • Escrow company for purposes of the down payment;
  • Buyer's recourse if the airplane does not conform to the description;
  • Seller's recourse upon payment default.
