Belvoir Publications

The editors of Aviation Consumer compiled this comprehensive guide containing all the information pilots need to evaluate, select, and buy used general aviation aircraft. Beginning with the developmental history of each model and line, the book details the individual maintenance records, retail prices, the value trend on the resale market, and the safety record.

Because safety is so important to potential buyers, an introductory section analyzes the accident rates of two major classes of aircraft: the single-engine retractables and the light twins. Aviation C7onsumer scoured NTSB accident records and FAA Service Difficulty Reports to find the most accurate information possible. Graphs allow buyers to calculate the potential resale value of each plane.
