FLYING Finance

Chattanooga, TN, United States

FLYING Finance offers online preapproval and application workflows for aircraft purchases, refinancing, engine and avionics upgrades, simulators, and fleet needs. Public materials emphasize aviation-specialist guidance, multiple lending options, OEM partnerships, and current starting-rate examples, but final pricing, fees, and terms depend on underwriting and funding partner proposals.

Best for

  • GA buyers who want aviation-specialist financing guidance
  • Owner-pilots seeking preapproval before shopping
  • Flight schools and fleet operators financing aircraft or simulators
  • Borrowers financing avionics, engine overhauls, or aircraft upgrades
  • OEM/dealer-linked buyers using Tecnam, Bristell, or similar financing programs

Potential drawbacks

  • Origination fee may apply with some funding partners and is disclosed at proposal stage rather than as a public schedule.
  • Public lease-program references do not include definitive rates, residuals, buyout terms, or full eligibility terms.
  • No robust independent provider-specific customer rating was found.
  • No public NMLS, lender, or state finance-broker license number was found.

The public signal is mostly official, affiliated, and trade-directory based rather than independent consumer-review based. Official testimonials and aviation trade mentions emphasize speed, aviation-specific expertise, and borrower guidance. Independent provider-specific review ratings were not found; the only robust public rating located is a BBB profile for parent Firecrown Media, not FLYING Finance specifically.

Positive themes

  • Aviation-specific finance knowledge
  • Fast and streamlined application process
  • Multiple lending options and lender network access

Negative themes

  • No public NMLS or state finance-license number found
  • Lease product references exist, but definitive lease rates, residuals, buyout terms, and eligibility terms are not publicly disclosed

Forum themes

  • No material provider-specific aviation forum discussion was found in the reviewed public searches.
