    I have been asked by a local church if I would fly relief supplies to PR and carry folks out. They are thinking small solar panels with batteries & ability to run a bulb all night. This is an issueI I would welcome any useful assistance with. I have read the other thread about routing. I...

    Convert from Corp to Flying Club

    Ours is not an LLC but a Sub S Corp on a cash basis accounting system established decades ago. Depreciation and capital infusions are products of accrual accounting basis; certainly not the goal. I'm thinking that I can just create the 501(c)7 "club" and sell the asset from the Corp to the...

    Several of us own shares of a general business corporation whose sole asset is an airplane that we fly. We function exactly like a flying club but decades ago we were organized as a for-profit business.As engine reserves build, they become taxable income via K1's to each shareholder. Not...

    Corp to Non-Profit

    I just took over the admin & accounting duties for one of the planes I am a partner in and would welcome some help on a structure and tax issue. The plane, a 1977 PA32 is held in an S corporation. The problem is, as I see it, we unfairly are paying income taxes on our own money when we...

    Pilot shortage must be real...

    I HOPE THE FOLLOWING IS HELPFUL AS A WAY TO CONSIDER ANOTHER OPTION. A person with the confidence, physical fitness, sense of responsibility and mental toughness required to be a 121 pilot is well suited to many other profitable opportunities. Related to options outside the cockpit - The...

    Cirrus Partnership/LLC agreement (for those who are counting)

    Good on ya. It's not hard to compare contract law differences from state to state. The phrase "to the fullest extent allowed by law" addresses most of the issues. As a guy who has had numerous business partnerships, almost exclusively successful, I have learned the following; No...
