Frequently Asked Questions

  • I'm interested in a business aircraft, where do I start?

    Give us a call at 574-266-4040 and make an appointment with Brandon Herzog or Brett Zierle.

    We will give you a tour of our facilities and discuss your needs to help you determine if a business aircraft is right for you.

  • What about taxes and legal?

    There are many attorneys and tax consultants out there. Most are very knowledgable but our experience indicates that aviation is a unique and commonly misunderstood industry which demands the involvement of specialized professionals.

    Indiana Flight Center has longstanding relationships with some of the best aviation attorneys and tax consultants available. We will work closely with them to make sure you are getting the best advice possible.

  • How readily will my aircraft be available?

    Successful experiences are the product of well established expectations (on both sides) and good communication. Early in the process, we will discuss your needs regarding availability and that information will shape how we prepare to staff your aircraft.

    For example, if you require the aircraft to be available on 24 hours notice, we will staff to ensure that there are pilots on standby at all times. If your schedule is more defined, we can staff at a lower level to meet that need.

  • Where will my aircraft be hangared?
    Indiana Flight Center boasts two 25,000 square foot hangars available to our customers, the largest in the area. We can accommodate super midsize aircraft and some large business aircraft depending on tail height.
  • Are there any partnership opportunities available?

    This is a common question; the answer is yes and IFC is happy to support a multi-owner aircraft.

    The key is finding the right partners who are interested in a similar mission and budget. This scenario tends to work best when clients introduce partners that they know personally.
