Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of an online pilot report over a classified ad? If you are selling your airplane or helicopter, you should have both. Most classifieds only show a few photos and list the aircraft's specifications. They don't really answer a prospective buyer's questions like a pilot report does. How was this concept developed? Whenever we have been involved in selling an aircraft that the ads we post generate a number of phone calls with questions that only someone who has flown the aircraft can answer. If the aircraft is being offered by a salesman or broker, that person may or may not have personal knowledge and experience with that aircraft. A pilot report can answer most of the questions an interested buyer might have. I'm not very good with grammar and spelling. Can you help? Sure, we will edit your personalized pilot report before placing it online. But it might also be a good idea to write it out beforehand and let someone you know and trust go over it. We're decent editors, but it needs to be your story. What if I want to follow a different format for my personalized pilot report? We can customize a report in almost any way you would like, but that will normally result in additional charges. See http://www.pilotreport.com/N44GH as an example. This represents a website that an aircraft owner already had that was transferred to PilotReport.com for the exposure. Our format was developed following the outline used by most aviation magazines in providing a pilot report on a specific type of aircraft and is designed to allow us to economically post reports in a consistent format. Why do you charge for posting stories? Capitalism. Are the classified ads free? For a limited time, we're offering free classifieds. As our advertising campaign unfolds and the site gets more exposure, that will change, so get your classified ad in now. Our plans are to continue offering free classifieds for anyone purchasing a pilot report. What is the best way to get exposure for my aircraft's personalized pilot report? We are engaging in our own advertising and marketing efforts, but to get maximum exposure for your aircraft that is for sale we recommend that you create a personalized pilot report here at pilotreport.com then include the URL in any online or printed classified ads you post. Is this service for individuals or dealers? Both. A personalized pilot report is an excellent sales tool. If we were dealers, we would require each of our owners to complete a pilotreport.com personalized pilot report on the aircraft they have for sale and we would include the web address in all of our advertising. What will be the web address for my personalized pilot report? http://www.pilotreport.com/XXXXX where XXXXX is your N Number. Example: http://www.pilotreport.com/N146TJ Is there some way to get a pilot report posted without writing it myself? Sure. We love to fly. If you'll bring the aircraft to us or pay our expenses to come to it, we'll fly your aircraft and write about it, or we'll ride with you while you fly it and we'll write about it. As an alternative, if it is a common type of airplane, you can send us the particulars and we've probably flown a similar aircraft and can use our experiences to flesh out the story on your baby. Do you offer discounts to dealers who want personalized pilot reports posted for all of the aircraft they have for sale? Maybe. Let's talk. We think it is a good idea to insist that all of your owners write up a report on their aircraft and foot the bill for getting it online. If they've got a good aircraft the personalized pilot report can only help their chances of selling it. |
