In general, all forms of aircraft ownership share a great number of benefits. When considering a specific method of ownership, however, your answers to the general questions that are listed in the section Which Aircraft is Right For You? should be used as a starting point. The three basic forms of ownership include full ownership, co-ownership, and fractional ownership, with a number of variations within each of the first two types related to how the aircraft is managed.

The following table provides a quick comparison between these three types of ownership. For more detailed information on any particular type, click on the ownership type on the left side of the table.

	ADVANTAGES	DISADVANTAGES
Full Ownership	Aircraft always available to fly Owner only pays actual operating costs Aircraft can be placed under management and made available for charter to reduce costs Owner enjoys full depreciation of the asset Maximum control over safety	Owner bears all costs of ownership, including management and maintenance Potentially large capital outlay Aircraft not available for use when down for maintainance
Co- Ownership	Reduced capital outlay All operating costs shared with a partner Owner enjoys 50% depreciation of the asset Aircraft can be placed under management and made available for charter to reduce costs Nearly maximum control over safety	Aircraft not available for use when down for maintainance Aircraft not always available when required due to partner use
Fractional Ownership	Aircraft availability guaranteed at all times Owner may use more than one aircraft at the same time, depending on contract terms All aspects of ownership and management handled by fractional provider Lower capital outlay	Cost of taxes and fees Cost of additional liability coverage not provided by fractional operator Potential Primary Service Fees associated with operating outside of the owner's defined Primary Service area Positioning costs for additional crew if needed in order to meet crew duty requirements Possible airport surcharges for owners who frequent certain congested airports Cost of exceeding leg and ground time restrictions Fuel escalator clause can result in higher fuel costs Sales commission and remarketing fees associated with both regular and early contract termination Aircraft different from the one purchased may be substituted without consent of the owner Costs asscociated with early use of time Residual value of purchased share dependent on market value at contract expiration Takeoff, landing and minimum time surcharges can substantially reduce available flight hours
