Hey Guys. This is a Cessna 172 I am advertising for lease now. Just wanted to give you an example of how I do it. It’s all about the content and being different than the traditional facebook post.
Are you a flight school turning away more students than you’re keeping?
Do you have more CFIs than airplanes?
Could you add a revenue-producing trainer tomorrow if you didn’t need the upfront capital to buy one?
Good. I built Aviation Ape for exactly this.
Cessna 172M — Ready to Lease to Your Flight School
A true workhorse, upgraded and built for training throughput:
• 180 HP upgrade — better climb, hotter days, heavier loads
• ~100 hours SMOH — fresh, reliable power
• IFR certified — train hard IMC/IPC without juggling schedules
• Autopilot — safer long cross-countries & syllabus efficiency
• Complete Logs, All ADs complied with. Plug & Play ready to go.
• Available anywhere in the U.S. (currently based at my FBO: KINF, Inverness, FL)
• Delivery arranged or pick up at KINF
Why lease instead of buy?
• Keep your cash for instructors, marketing, and doing what you do best! Provide excellent flight training
• Add capacity fast to stop waitlists from walking across the street
• Test demand before committing capital
• Match aircraft supply to your seasonality
If your ramp is full of students and short on airplanes, this 172M is the simplest way to scale—today.

(P.S. If you’re weighing “buy vs. lease,” ask me for a 10-minute math run-through. Most schools are shocked by the cash-flow difference.)
