22 Financing Your Pilatus Over the last several months we have seen a fi nancial market reach its lowest point in years. The talk of a Bear Market is reality. With banks tightening lending restrictions, aircraft loans are becoming more diffi cult to obtain than in the past. That is why it is important to use a broker that knows the business and has experienced the ups and downs of these economic conditions. AAFCO has been through this before and has used its longevity to continue to help aircraft owners fi nd the best possible rates and terms. When fi nancing your PC-12, it is important to be aware of the current market conditions. Loans over $1 million typically are based on the prime interest rate. While the interest rate is lower and it may adjust even lower than when you purchased the loan, it has the capability on adjusting up as well. If 2009 is any comparison to the previous year, rates will stay competitive and loans for strong borrowers will be easy to come by. Fixed rates are also available and may be a better option today. Although the rate may be higher than the prime interest rate, locking into a rate secures your loan payments. It also allows you to avoid having to refi nance any balloon that may be associated with loans based on prime. The exclusive distributor of the Pilatus PC-12 in OH, PA, MD, WV, KY, TN, VA, NC & SC.

With interest rates at an all time low, fi nding a competitive term will allow you to keep your payments low and free up money to invest in other ventures. When fi nancing higher valued aircraft, terms are very fl exible. It is more common to have loans that amortize over a 15 to 20 year period. These loans may have balloons attached to them making it almost necessary to refi nance if you are not prepared to pay the loan off. The PC-12 is one of the safest aircraft in the industry. With most Pilatus owners being strong borrowers, the combination of the two will allow new and current owners to pursue their passion. Safe fl ying and have a prosperous 2009!
