Frequently Asked Questions

  • Fractional Ownership allows you to purchase a share of an aircraft just like owning a timeshare without the full cost or burden of sole ownership. Each share corresponds to a set number of annual flight hours (for example, a 1/16th share provides approximately 37 hours per year).

    At West Coast Aviation Services (WCAS), your share gives you guaranteed access to our King Air 350/360 fleet, managed entirely in-house. You simply schedule flights when you need them we take care of the rest, including pilots, maintenance, insurance, and logistics.

    Each owner pays:

    1. Initial Investment: A one-time equity purchase securing your ownership share.

    2. Monthly Management Fee: Covers all fixed costs—pilots, maintenance, hangar, and insurance.

    3. Hourly Rate: You only pay for the time onboard. No repositioning or hidden fees.

    It’s real ownership—backed by professional management, flexible access, and complete cost transparency.

  • Fractional ownership is designed for individuals or businesses who:

    • Fly 25–150 hours per year and want consistent, reliable access to a private aircraft.

    • Are looking for a turnkey operation for a private aircraft. You only need to worry about where your next destination will be.

    • Want the benefits of aircraft ownership (including potential bonus depreciation) without managing operations.

    • Prioritize time savings, safety, and service consistency over the unpredictability of charter.

    • Prefer a flexible, lower-commitment alternative to full ownership or long-term jet card contracts.

    Typical owners include business executives, entrepreneurs, and families who want the ability to travel freely throughout California and the Western U.S. on their schedule.

  • Absolutely not. That’s one of the benefits to the Fractional program. We are responsible for the logistics and costs associated picking you up. The only thing you need to worry about is where your next adventure will be.

  • WCAS offers a unique blend of experience, transparency, and local focus. What makes our program stand out:

    • Largest King Air Fleet in the Western U.S.: Over 15 King Air 350/360s ready for your next adventure.

    • No Repositioning Fees: meaning you only pay for your flight time, not ferry time.

    • In-House Expertise: WCAS is a Textron Authorized Service Center, Part 145 Repair Station with factory-trained technicians and full in-house maintenance for the fleet.

    • Experienced Crews: While the King Air 350 is technically a single-pilot aircraft we always staff our planes with duel crew, trained at Flight Safety International. Our pilots are full-time WCAS employees trained to the highest standards in both safety and service.

    • Flexible Exit & Upgrade Options: No long-term lock-ins. You can pause, sell, or upgrade your share without penalty.

    • Family-Owned Since 1987: Decades of trust, integrity, and personalized service across every aspect of ownership.

  • Our Fractional program starts at $375K based on 37.5 hours/year. For a lower buy-in check out our no commitment, Gateway Flight Card.

  • Unlike our competitors, we offer an open ended agreement. Our agreements are built on a 5-year term to lock in pricing but you are free to exit or even pause the program as you need. We take pride in our service and do not want to lock you into something you are not comfortable with.
