Practical Aircraft Ownership

Ownership Designed Around Reality

Simplify Aviation aircraft are engineered for owners who value practical systems, maintainability, and long-term usability. Ownership should not require excessive complexity.

The Ownership Philosophy

Designed to Be Owned

Most aircraft are designed to be sold. Simplify Aviation aircraft are designed to be owned.

The difference matters. An aircraft designed to be sold optimizes for the showroom — impressive specifications, attractive aesthetics, and features that look good in a brochure. An aircraft designed to be owned optimizes for the hangar — practical systems, maintainable construction, and honest performance that holds up over years of real-world use.

Simplify Aviation has always built for the owner. That means all-metal construction that can be repaired, not just replaced. Systems that pilots can understand and diagnose. Documentation that actually explains how the aircraft works. Parts that are available when you need them.

Ownership should be rewarding. Simplify Aviation makes sure it is.

Why Own a Simplify Aviation aircraft?

Premium Amphibious Ownership

Simplify Aviation brings together adventure, water access, practical systems, and a premium ownership experience.

Freedom

Fly when you want, where you want. No airline schedules, no TSA lines, no compromises.

Amphibious Access

Water, coastline, remote lakes, islands. Go where conventional aircraft simply cannot.

Adventure Flying

Backcountry strips, gravel bars, remote destinations. Aviation as exploration.

Bush Capability

Short fields, rough strips, tundra tires. Built for environments others avoid.

Utility

Survey, observation, patrol, environmental monitoring. Aircraft that work, not just fly.

Intentional Investment

A premium aircraft program with clear configuration guidance, ownership planning, and long-term support.

Ownership Planning

Plan the Full Ownership Picture

A premium aircraft purchase should come with a clear conversation about configuration, storage, insurance, training, and support.

Fuel Burn

3–5 gal/hr depending on aircraft and cruise setting. At $6/gal, that’s $18–$30/hr.

Annual Maintenance

Estimated $1,500–$3,000/yr for standard maintenance. All-metal = lower than composite.

Insurance

LSA/E-AB insurance typically $800–$2,000/yr. Varies by experience, aircraft, and coverage.

Storage Planning

Hangar, tie-down, and access needs vary by location and operating profile.

Operating Planning

Fuel, storage, insurance, inspections, and mission usage are reviewed during ownership consultation.

Training

Training and familiarization needs vary by experience, aircraft configuration, and operating environment.

Disclaimer: All ownership planning is configuration-dependent and varies by location, usage, storage, insurance, and training needs. Contact our team for personalized ownership cost guidance. See our Financing page for payment options.
Insurance

Aircraft Insurance Guidance

Aircraft insurance is a required part of ownership. Simplify Aviation helps guide you through the process.

LSA and Experimental Amateur-Built aircraft typically have lower insurance premiums than certified GA aircraft. Costs vary based on your experience level, aircraft type, coverage level, and intended use.

Simplify Aviation can connect you with aviation insurance specialists who understand the LSA and E-AB market. We recommend beginning the insurance conversation early in the purchase process.

Insurance Inquiry

Insurance Basics

Estimated Annual Cost

LSA/E-AB insurance typically $800–$2,000/yr depending on experience, aircraft, and coverage level.

Liability Coverage

Required. Covers third-party damage. Typically $100,000–$1,000,000.

Hull Coverage

Optional but recommended. Covers your aircraft. Based on agreed value.

Pilot Requirements

Insurance may require minimum flight hours, type training, or checkout endorsement.

Training Impact

Completing transition training and factory familiarization often reduces premiums.

Amphibious Considerations

Water operations may require additional endorsement or specific policy terms. Our team can advise.

What Ownership Includes

The Simplify Aviation Ownership Experience

01

Supportability

An aircraft is only as good as the support behind it.

Simplify Aviation designs every aircraft with supportability as a primary requirement — not an afterthought. That means straightforward systems that A&P mechanics can work on without specialized training. It means parts that are available through structured supply channels. It means documentation that actually explains how the aircraft is built and how it works.

Simplify Aviation owners are not dependent on a single factory or a proprietary support network. They can work with local mechanics, source parts through established channels, and maintain their aircraft with confidence.

A&P Accessible

Designed for standard A&P mechanics without specialized factory training.

Parts Availability

Structured parts supply through established channels. No proprietary lock-in.

Technical Documentation

Full technical documentation provided with every aircraft.

Field Serviceability

Maintained in the field, not just in a certified shop.

Technical Support

Direct technical support access for owners and their mechanics.

Pilot Operating Handbook

Complete POH covering normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures.

Maintenance Manual

Full maintenance documentation for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.

Illustrated Parts Catalog

Complete illustrated parts catalog for all aircraft systems.

Wiring Diagrams

Full electrical system documentation and wiring diagrams.

Weight & Balance

Weight and balance documentation and calculation tools.

02

Documentation

Every Simplify Aviation aircraft comes with complete documentation. No gaps. No missing manuals.

Simplify Aviation provides a full documentation package with every aircraft — covering everything from normal operations to maintenance procedures, parts identification, and weight and balance. Documentation is not an optional add-on. It is a core part of what you receive when you take delivery of a Simplify Aviation aircraft.

Documentation is provided in both print and digital formats. Updates are provided as they become available.

03

Training Recommendations

Every new Simplify Aviation owner receives type-specific training recommendations and resources.

Simplify Aviation recommends type-specific familiarization training for all new owners — regardless of experience level. Every aircraft has its own characteristics, and understanding those characteristics before flying solo makes for safer, more confident pilots.

Simplify Aviation provides training resources and can connect owners with appropriate training providers. For amphibious aircraft owners, specific water operations training resources are provided during onboarding.

Configuration Support

Ongoing configuration support and documentation updates.

04

Lifecycle Ownership

Simplify Aviation builds aircraft for the long term — and supports owners for the long term.

Buying an aircraft is not a short-term decision. Simplify Aviation understands that — and designs its ownership program accordingly. Platform evolution, upgrade pathways, long-term parts availability, and ongoing configuration support are all part of the Simplify Aviation ownership experience.

When you buy a Simplify Aviation aircraft, you are not buying a product with a planned obsolescence date. You are buying a platform with a long-term support commitment.
