Getting Started
FlyClassifieds is an aviation marketplace built by pilots, for pilots. We connect buyers and sellers of aircraft, parts, avionics, hangars, aviation services, and more. Our platform is designed specifically for the aviation community with features like FAA data integration, damage history lookups, and aviation-specific search filters.
Browsing listings and creating an account is completely free. We offer both free and paid listing options. Free listings have basic features, while paid packages provide enhanced visibility, more photos, featured placement, and additional promotional tools.
You can list aircraft (singles, twins, jets, helicopters, experimental, warbirds), parts and avionics, aviation real estate (hangars, tie-downs, airparks), aviation services (maintenance, flight training, charter), aviation jobs, and wanted ads for items you're looking for.
We're built by an aviator who understands what pilots actually need. We focus on clean, modern design without clutter, fair and transparent pricing, integrated FAA/Canadian aircraft data, NTSB damage history integration, and a commitment to giving back to aviation charities and youth programs.

Creating & Managing Listings
Click 'Post a Listing' in the navigation, select your listing category (aircraft, parts, etc.), and follow our step-by-step wizard. For aircraft, you can enter your N-number to auto-populate FAA data, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.
Listing duration depends on the package you choose. Free listings run for 60 days, Standard listings for 90 days, and Premium listings for a full year. Subscription plans (Agent, Salvage Pro, Silver, Dealer Elite) keep your listings active for as long as your subscription is current. You'll receive email reminders before any listing expires, and you can renew from your dashboard. Sold items should be marked as sold or removed to keep the marketplace current.
Yes, you can edit your listing at any time from your dashboard. Changes to photos, description, and price are reflected immediately. Some package features may not be changeable after initial selection.
The number of photos depends on your listing package. Free listings include up to 5 photos, Standard listings up to 15, and Premium listings up to 50 high-resolution images. We recommend including exterior, interior, panel, engine, and logbook photos for best results.
Pricing is up to you as the seller. We recommend researching comparable aircraft currently listed on FlyClassifieds and other marketplaces, and considering factors like total time, engine time since overhaul, avionics, damage history, and current market conditions. A pre-purchase appraisal from a qualified aviation appraiser is the most reliable way to set a fair asking price. Competitive, well-supported pricing typically results in faster sales.
Payments & Subscriptions
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through our secure Stripe payment processor. All transactions are encrypted and PCI-compliant.
No. We believe in transparent pricing. The price you see for a listing package is the price you pay. There are no success fees, no percentage of sale price, and no surprise charges.
We offer refunds on a case-by-case basis. If you're unsatisfied with your purchase or experience technical issues, contact us at support@flyclassifieds.com within 7 days of purchase and we'll work with you to find a solution.
Yes, we offer subscription tiers for dealers and frequent sellers. These plans provide discounted listing rates, priority support, and additional features. Visit your account settings to explore available plans.
Safety & Security
We don't require identity verification for standard listings, so buyers should always conduct their own due diligence. Our messaging system keeps conversations on-platform, and we monitor for suspicious activity. Business accounts that complete our verification process display a Verified Business badge on their listings and profile.
Never send money without seeing the aircraft in person or using an escrow service. Be wary of prices significantly below market value, sellers who refuse phone/video calls, requests for unusual payment methods, and pressure to complete transactions quickly. Visit our Safety Center for detailed guidance.
Use the 'Report' button on any listing or message, or contact us directly at safety@flyclassifieds.com. We investigate all reports promptly and take action against accounts violating our terms.
We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for all data transmission and follow security best practices for data storage. We never sell your personal information and only share data as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
