A private aircraft dry lease is a form of long-term aircraft rental without crew, giving a qualified individual pilot or small pilot group dedicated access to a specified aircraft for 12–24 months without buying it.Clear definition
What is a private aircraft dry lease?
A private dry lease is a 12–24 month aircraft lease that provides dedicated aircraft access without transferring ownership. Pilots may describe the same practical objective as long-term airplane rental; private dry lease is the more precise term when a specified aircraft is provided without crew for an agreed period.
Insurance, hangarage, maintenance, operating expenses, security deposits and other responsibilities are allocated in the individual lease proposal and documentation. Their treatment depends on the aircraft, intended operation and agreed transaction structure.
How does long-term aircraft rental differ from the alternatives?
Flying-club access
Club members share access under club rules and normally do not control one dedicated aircraft for 12–24 months.
Wet lease or charter
Crew or operational services are provided with the aircraft; a private dry lease is aircraft rental without crew.
Full ownership
The pilot purchases the asset and accepts long-term capital and residual-value exposure; a lease is an alternative to buying an aircraft.
Main benefits
What the arrangement provides.

Predictable budgeting
A fixed monthly lease cost makes the core commitment easier to plan and compare.

Flexible participation
