The E3 Aviation Association provides a comprehensive guide for general aviation pilots weighing aircraft ownership against chartering. The article thoroughly examines the cost implications of both options, including initial investments, ongoing expenses, and potential tax considerations. Fractional ownership is explored as a middle ground, balancing costs and access. Through detailed cost comparisons, real-life scenarios, and pilot case studies, the resource aims to equip pilots with the knowledge to make financially sound decisions tailored to their flying needs. Furthermore, it offers resources and advice on maintenance costs, financial planning, and making the right choice, alongside frequently asked questions.
