Ovation

Ovation is an aircraft brokerage and aviation lifestyle company based at Palomar Airport (KCRQ) in Carlsbad, California, with its office in the Atlantic Aviation Jet Center at 2100 Palomar Airport Rd, Suite 214. Its website describes it as "an independent, Cirrus-focused aircraft brokerage" and states that it is not owned by, operated by or affiliated with Cirrus Aircraft, and that it is not an air carrier or a flight school. The commercial core of the company is aircraft brokerage; the other activities are described as ways of meeting people before they buy an aircraft and staying with them afterwards.

Cirrus

Ovation lists its specialization as the Cirrus SR20, SR22, SR22T and Vision Jet SF50. It represents buyers and sellers of Cirrus piston and jet aircraft: sourcing, market intelligence, negotiation, pre-purchase coordination and closing, with one broker from start to finish. For buyers it searches the market, including aircraft that are not listed publicly, and represents the client through inspection and closing. For sellers it provides a valuation based on current market data, presentation, qualified buyers and a managed transaction. The site says it publishes only aircraft it represents or has confirmed, with registration, times, avionics and maintenance history.

Services

• Aircraft brokerage, sales and acquisition
• Ownership consultation: utilization, management, hangarage, insurance introductions and planning for the next aircraft
• Introductions to management, maintenance, insurance, financing and tax professionals
• F.L.O.A.T. (Fly Over All Traffic): private flight requests from Palomar Airport, arranged with a licensed air carrier that has operational control of the flight
• Pilot training introductions: discovery flight, connection with an independent flight school, and Cirrus transition training through that school
• Experiences: Cars and Aircraft gatherings, hangar events, Cirrus demonstrations and pilot networking

The website is clear about roles: Ovation provides brokerage, marketing, customer introductions, events and ownership consultation, while flight training, aircraft rental, charter and maintenance are delivered by independent certificated providers. It states that it does not promise revenue, tax outcomes or investment returns, and that charter placement depends on operator acceptance. It is developing a relationship with Palomar Aviation, an independent flight training company at the same airport, with no partnership announced until an agreement is signed.
