For many years COPA members have relied on the
COPA Guide to Buying a Used Airplane in Canada for advice on the pitfalls
involved in buying a used plane.
Originally written by Garth Wallace, this 23 page guide provided lots of great
information that the first time airplane buyer needed.
The second edition of this guide is now available. Greatly expanded, it is now
entitled The COPA Guide to Buying an Aircraft – Second Edition. This completely
rewritten guide includes information needed to buy all types of aircraft – new
and used, complete and kits, Canadian and foreign. It now totals 94 pages and
features: Complete information on a wide range of subjects – finding an
aircraft, pre-purchase inspections, test flying, title and lien searches, escrow
services and dozens of other topics.
Nine additional articles by well-known aviation writers on buying an aircraft
provide a range of experience to the new buyer.
The new guide also includes two sample aircraft partnership agreements and many
other useful forms – Bill of Sale, Offer to Purchase, Aircraft receipts and
several others.
The new guide is available free to all COPA members online. You can find it on
the COPA Web site www.copanational.org
under “Members Only,” “Aviation Guides.”
It is also available via mail on paper for a printing and shipping cost of $9.99
postage paid.
