SR22 Sunshine Coast Syndicate

Shared ownership or syndication is making owning a new Cirrus more achievable than ever. The members of a syndicate group have access to:

• An average of 100 hours flying time per annum.
• Online booking calendar to plan work, holiday or sightseeing trips.
• An aircraft which is fully managed covering administration, maintenance and operating costs.

John Gannon recently purchased a 1/5th share in a G6 SR22T on the Sunshine Coast. We spoke to John about what he perceived to be the pluses of syndication:

• Cost sharing split five ways.
• The shared cost enabled the group to upgrade to a higher spec aircraft.
• As one of three first time owners, the syndicate process holds your hand.
• Provides opportunities to aviators who believe owning a new aircraft is not possible.
• Group members are like minded and there is community and friendship.
• As fellow owners are keen and enthusiastic flyers they share photos, tips and information amongst each other.
• Most family members glaze over when flying or aircraft mentioned, so the group provides for excited conversation.
• Eases the burden of aircraft ownership administration.
• Accessibility to the aircraft has not been a problem.
• The aircraft can be used as a taxi with other owners putting their hands up to pick up and drop off if required.

Syndicates are planned for the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Archerfield, Toowoomba and Perth.
