Piston Aircraft Loans

About Piston Aircraft Loans

We help pilots and owners understand what an airplane really costs to buy, finance and own — and connect them with financing when they're ready.

What we publish

  • 72 aircraft model pages with typical prices, payment examples, fuel cost per hour and pre-buy notes.
  • 74 cost-of-ownership breakdowns with fixed and variable costs, reserves and the loan payment.
  • 142 guides on rates, requirements, title and closing, insurance, taxes, partnerships and upgrades.
  • Free calculators for loan payments, affordability, refinancing, fuel, range and unit conversions — no registration.

Who handles financing requests

Financing inquiries submitted on this site go to Jaken Aviation, a division of Jaken Finance Group based in Lake Zurich, IL. Jaken Aviation is a loan brokerage, not a direct lender: it takes your request to a national network of banks, credit unions and specialty aviation lenders and helps you through underwriting and closing. Lenders make all credit decisions.

  1. Apply & consult. Tell us the aircraft, the price and your timeline. A specialist reviews your goals with you.
  2. Get matched. Your request goes out to a national network of banks, credit unions and specialty aviation lenders.
  3. Underwriting. Your file is packaged and submitted to the best-fit lender, typically 1–2 weeks once there is a purchase agreement.
  4. Approval & closing. We coordinate lender, escrow and seller through closing — usually 2–4 weeks from application.

How we keep content accurate

Time-sensitive figures — rates, tax rules, FAA regulations, fuel prices — are checked against primary sources (Federal Reserve, IRS, eCFR/FAA, AOPA, published lender rate pages) and dated. Payment examples are calculated, not estimated. When we can't verify a number, we give a range and tell you what to check. Read our editorial standards.
