Default Cessna 210 Lease or Flight Club?

I have a question about some of the legalities of what I am in the process of doing. If anyone can point me in the right direction I welcome and appreciate all opinions and advice.

I am in the process of purchasing a Cessna 210. I have 3 signed 1 year lease agreements with pilots in my area. I have a $1200 deposit from each pilot and when I reach 6 pilots I will purchase the aircraft. They agree to $600 per month for a year for 10hrs per month. Any hours flown over the 10hr allowance will be an additional $60 per hr. Insurance, Maintenance, Hanger, etc. are all included.

For me, that covers the cost of the plane, hanger, insurance, and a hefty maintenance reserve. However, I will/can still make a profit depending on how I structure the maintenance reserve.

Is there any problem with the way I am structuring this? And other than paying taxes and making sure my insurance is covered correctly... Is there any problems with making a profit from this?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole without consulting with an
aviation attorney.

If you are an AOPA legal plan member, you can get a referral to one
and a few hours for free (I forget how many).

It would be a wise precaution.

When you move into a profit-making venture, and you distribute profits
to Member(s) (you), you will be viewed, in case somwething happens,
legally not as a club of folks sharing expenses but as a business with
the concurrent liabilities to your "public" (members).

If you retain profits in a reserve, ultimately you will have to spend or
distribute them (up to some amount can be retained and some length of
time depending on your corporate structure) but you will be functioning
more like a true club.

An LLC? A Sub S? A Sub C?

I'm sure you will correct me, however one is extremely tempted to surmise
that you have not been completely forthcoming with your "partners" as to
the profit motive in the venture, and who may believe they are buying
shares in an airplane.

It has been made abundantly clear that they are not a share owner. Their interest is not in ownership in any shape or form; only to lease the aircraft for the amount of time agreed upon. As if they were leasing an apartment, but shared with other tenants.

I hope that helps.

Thanks

Thank you for your response, it was one of the most enlightening.

It seems that once I accept or structure this to retain a profit I assume commercial liabilities as well. Which is understood and definitely has moved me to clearly explaining this to my insurance agent (again) to insure the appropriate coverage.

Another question this brings up. If I were to structure this not to retain a profit, only to cover costs, maintenance reserves and upgrades etc.; What happens when I sell the aircraft and there is a profit? I assume capital gains applies? Well, I know that applies in a for profit situation, but this I am not sure?

As far as company structure I think an LLC would make the most sense, but I am still researching which works best for this situation.

I appreciate anymore information you may have regarding what we've discussed.

Best Regards!
