Buying an aircraft

Windsock, which was built specifically for general aviation, offers an unbiased, transparent aircraft valuation tool designed for pilots and aircraft owners. To generate a report, members enter details such as year, make, model, total time, engine time, avionics, and equipment.

“Aircraft valuation tools have historically been one of our most popular benefits. A tool like Windsock provides a valuable reference point for pilots as they consider buying or selling an aircraft. We’re excited to partner with Windsock to offer this benefit available only through AOPA,” said Katie Pribyl, AOPA acting co-president.

As part of the new offering, AOPA members receive 12 free Windsock valuation reports each year. Unused valuation reports reset on a rolling 12-month cycle, and members receive a discount on any additional reports they choose to purchase.

“Windsock delivers instant, aircraft-specific valuation reports that give owners and pilots a clear, real-time view of what an aircraft could be worth,” said Ian Hoyt, Windsock’s founder. “Powered by advanced machine learning and statistical modeling, Windsock turns complex market data into actionable insight, helping pilots and aircraft owners move forward with confidence at every stage of ownership.”

“We’re constantly looking for new ways to make AOPA membership more valuable to pilots,” said Pribyl. “Tools like Windsock give our members access to better information, helping them make informed and confident aircraft transaction decisions.”
