Practical guides for private aircraft owners and co-owners — FAA Part 91, EASA Part-ML, maintenance, cost-sharing, and compliance.
We write about the practical side of aircraft ownership. Topics include annual inspection preparation, tracking airworthiness directives under FAA Part 91 and EASA Part-ML, splitting costs fairly between co-owners, maintaining a squawk list, setting up a maintenance schedule, and understanding your weight and balance limits.
Whether you fly a Cessna 172, a Piper Cherokee, or a Diamond DA40, the same ownership challenges apply: keeping the aircraft legal, managing shared expenses, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. These guides aim to give you concrete, actionable answers rather than generic aviation advice.
European pilots will find dedicated coverage of EASA Part-ML and UK CAA CAP 1922 — including what a pilot-owner is legally permitted to do, how Airworthiness Review Certificates (ARCs) work, and how to declare your own AMP. FAA pilots will find guides on Part 91 owner-produced parts, annual inspection requirements, and AD compliance tracking. All articles are written by pilots for pilots, grounded in the actual regulatory text.
