Financing for major aircraft expenses

Keep your next aircraft project moving with a line of credit designed around GA pilots and airplane owner needs.

  • New avionics: Fund new avionics equipment including instrument flight enhancements, new autopilot, or even getting caught up with an integrated ADS-B suite.
  • Engine overhauls: Prepare for a major engine expense. Whether it is time to overhaul an entire engine, or just your prop; your Flight-Line makes paying for big expenses as easy as picking up the ATIS.
  • Other major aircraft expenses: Talk with our lending team about your project; chances are, your Flight-Line can handle it!
