Ratio of lease/purchase in general aviation

[Sunho]

Among various options of buying/using a Cessna 172 or Cirrus Design
SR22 or any other similar light aircraft, how many percents fall under
each category below?

The options I know are:

- Outright purchase: you pay the whole cost of the aircraft upfront
and own it

- Loan/purchase: you borrow money to buy the aircraft and offer it as
collateral on the loan

- Operating lease: you pay the leasing company to use the aircraft for
a certain period of time and return it at the end of the lease

- Financing lease: you borrow money to lease the aircraft on condition
that you buy it at the end of the lease

- Synthetic lease: something between the operating lease and financing
lease

A law firm has a neat summary of the above options at

You've omitted Fractional Ownership:

Thanks for the reply.

Does anybody have a rough idea about how many percent each category,
including fractional ownership, accounts for?
I am wondering what is the most popular among those options.
