Would You Enquire About an Aircraft That Looks Like It Was Listed Six Months Ago?

A buyer finds your aircraft, but the hours haven’t changed, the maintenance information is outdated and the photos are from last year. Their first question may not be about buying it, but whether it’s even still available. If your aircraft remains on the market, keep the advert current.

Aircraft Listing Refresh Checklist:

✓ Update airframe, engine and propeller hours
✓ Add recently completed maintenance or inspections
✓ Update component times where relevant
✓ Review the asking price against the current market
✓ Replace outdated or poor photographs
✓ Add any new equipment or upgrades
✓ Remove information that’s no longer accurate
✓ Confirm the aircraft’s location and availability

If the aircraft is still flying while advertised, its times will continue changing. Even relatively small discrepancies can make a listing look neglected when a buyer starts checking the details. A refreshed listing also gives you an opportunity to improve anything that hasn’t been working, from the main photograph to the description and pricing.

Aircraft sellers, how often do you review and update an aircraft listing while it’s on the market?
