AOPA Aviation Summit 2013
Three days, 100+ hours of education
MORE THAN 100 HOURS of education are scheduled for AOPA Aviation
Summit to be held in Fort Worth, Texas, October 10 through 12, 2013 (see
“Summit Goes Southwestern,” page 78). Five easy-to-follow daily education
tracks—Pilot Skills, Maintenance, Medical/Legal, Technology, and Leading
Luminaries—have been designated. These tracks feature aviation experts such
as John and Martha King, Michael Goulian, Adrian Eichhorn, Rod Machado,
Tom Haines, Mike Busch, John Zimmerman, Adam Smith, Bruce Landsberg,
and many more. AOPA Aviation Summit 2013 is the only place pilots have
access to these experts in one location and can meet with them face to face.
AOPA MAKES
FINANCING EASIER
FOR MEMBERS
AOPA HAS LAUNCHED an expansive new
aviation finance company that will give
AOPA members greater access to lending
options for aircraft purchases and avionics
upgrades. The new service, AOPA Aviation
Finance Company, LLC (AAF) will offer
more flexible financing options through a
collection of banks—rather than just one
institution. This will allow AAF to identify
the best loan options for members and ultimately deliver competitive terms for each
aviation transaction. AAF will not be loaning money directly, but instead be acting as
a broker. Notably, AAF also will help members obtain loans for aircraft that tend to be
more difficult to finance, such as older, lesscomplex airplanes. AAF also will identify
member loans for avionics upgrades.
While AOPA has offered aircraft finance
services for nearly two decades, the new
AAF arrangement using multiple banking
partners identifies financing options for
most types of aircraft at competitive rates
and terms. It also offers members exceptional service and knowledgeable advice
regarding aircraft loans.
AAF staff will support each AOPA member as a broker, walking them through the
financing transaction. AAF will also provide
faster time-to-ownership for members by
providing quick decisions from established
financing partners.
