Shares from 1/16 to 1/2, bought or leased.
A share of the aircraft.None of the overhead.
Fractional ownership of a Cirrus SR22 or an Embraer Phenom 100. Buy a share or lease one. Our pilots fly it, our technicians look after it, and our team handles the scheduling, the hangar and the insurance.

- Shares from 1/16
- Buy or lease
- Terms of three to five years
How it works
Fractional, in plain terms.
A fractional share gives you private flying on your schedule without buying, crewing and maintaining a whole aircraft. Four things decide how it works for you.
What you own or lease
A share of an aircraft in the program: a 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 share of a Cirrus SR22 or a Phenom 100, or a custom size in sixteenths. Buy the share, or lease it with little up front. Terms run three to five years.
Buy or lease →Days and hours
Every share comes with days and hours to fly each year. A 1/16 share gives you 20 days and 50 hours, and larger shares scale from there. A day counts when you fly; the hours are the second limit.
How days count →Who flies it and looks after it
Our professional pilots fly every program trip. Our own maintenance team schedules and oversees the maintenance. The hangar, insurance and pilot training are part of the monthly fee.
Pilots and maintenance →What it costs
Four parts: the buy-in or a lease payment, a flat monthly management fee, an hourly rate for time flown, and trip costs such as fuel and landing fees, billed monthly. We give you every figure before anything is signed.

Two paths
Buy a share, or lease one.
Both paths fly the same aircraft on the same terms. The difference is how you pay for the share, and what you hold at the end.
Buy a share
For owners who fly regularly and want to own part of the aircraft.
- Up front
- The buy-in for your share of the aircraft, and the operating fund.
- Each month
- The flat management fee.
- Per flight hour
- The hourly rate for the aircraft.
- You hold
- An ownership interest in the aircraft, in proportion to your share.
- Tax
- May qualify for depreciation, including bonus depreciation. Your tax advisor can confirm how it applies to you.
- End of term
- Renew with us, or we market the share for sale and you receive your portion of the net proceeds, less a remarketing fee.
Lease a share
For owners who want private flying without putting capital into an aircraft.
- Up front
- No buy-in. The first month's lease payment and the operating fund.
- Each month
- The lease payment plus the same management fee.
- Per flight hour
- The same hourly rate.
- You hold
- A lease for the term, with no depreciation to track and no resale to manage.
- Tax
- Nothing to depreciate. Your tax advisor can tell you how lease payments are treated for you.
- End of term
- Renew the lease, or let it end. There is nothing to sell.
Same days and hours, same management fee, same hourly rate, same pilots and maintenance, whichever path you choose.
Share finder
Find the share that fits your flying.
Pick an aircraft, where you usually go and how often. The finder counts the days and hours those trips use, the way the program counts them, and shows the smallest share that covers them.
Share sizes for each aircraft: Cirrus SR22 · Phenom 100
Days first, hours second.
Your share sets how many days you can fly each year and how many hours those days can use. Both are limits, so it helps to know how they count before you choose a size.
| Share | Days a year | Hours a year |
|---|---|---|
| 1/16 | 20 | 50 |
| 1/8 | 40 | 100 |
| 1/4 | 80 | 200 |
| 1/2 | 160 | 400 |
Other sizes are available in sixteenths: each 1/16 adds 20 days and 50 hours a year. Days and hours are the same on either path, bought or leased.
A day counts when you fly
Any day with a flight on it uses one of your days, however short the flight.
A minimum time per flying day
Each flight counts its time in the air plus 0.2 hours for taxi, and each flying day counts as at least 1 hour in the SR22 or 2.5 hours in the Phenom 100. A same-day SR22 round trip to Seattle uses one day and about 1.8 hours.
Any day, first come, first served
Request a trip for any day of the week, to any airport suitable for the aircraft. There is no fixed notice period; trips are scheduled in the order requests arrive, so ask as early as you can. We cannot promise an aircraft on every date.
Ten peak days, no blackouts
Thanksgiving, Wednesday through Sunday, and December 24 to 28. On those days we ask for 48 hours' notice, may move a departure by up to three hours, and give larger shares scheduling priority. Peak-day trips start and end in the primary service area. There is no peak surcharge.
Cancel 72 hours out at no charge
Cancel more than 72 hours before departure and nothing is used. Between 72 and 48 hours, half the days reserved for the trip are used. Inside 48 hours, the trip is billed in full and its days are used.
A day back if we miss a trip
If we confirm a trip and cannot complete it the same day for a reason within our control, we add a day back to your allowance.
Unused days carry forward
Within limits set in your agreement, unused days carry into the next year, and you can borrow some of next year's. Days left at the end of the term do not carry over.
A backup when the aircraft is busy
If no program aircraft is free, we can arrange a flight with another Part 135 operator. We tell you who the operator is first, and you choose whether to take that flight or wait for ours.
Who flies it
Our pilots fly it.Our technicians look after it.
The program is managed by Citizen Air Management, LLC. You bring the trip; we handle the aircraft, the crew and the paperwork.
- Professional pilots on every program flight, with initial and recurrent training included.
- Maintenance scheduled and overseen by our own A&P and IA team, with Cirrus and Embraer factory training.
- Hangared , insured for hull and liability, with navigation databases kept current.
- Concierge and flight operations support for every trip, from the request to the ramp.
- Safety has the final word. You, we or the pilots can decline or end a flight for safety, and no one is penalized for the call.
- Records open to you. Owners can inspect the program's safety and maintenance records and their own flight hours.
- A clean safety record since operations began.
Management
What the monthly fee covers.
One flat fee a month covers the cost of keeping the aircraft crewed, maintained, hangared and insured. What a particular trip costs is billed separately, so you pay for your own flying.
Included in management
- Professional pilot services
- Crew travel and lodging on overnight trips
- Initial and recurrent pilot training
- Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance
- Hangar space
- Hull and liability insurance
- Navigation database updates
- Full-time concierge service
- Flight operations center support
Billed monthly as trip costs
- Fuel, at actual cost where the aircraft is fueled
- Landing and FBO fees
- De-icing
- Catering and ground transportation, arranged on request
Itemized on your monthly statement. A few high-cost airports carry a surcharge, and we tell you which before you book. An operating fund paid at the start covers fuel and incidentals between statements, and is returned at the end of the term less anything outstanding.
The aircraft

The SR22 for frequent regional trips, the Phenom 100 for longer ones. Both are flown and maintained by the same team.
Embraer Phenom 100

Shares from 1/16 to 1/2, bought or leased.
Interchange
Own one type. Fly the other when the trip calls for it.
Owners can request the other aircraft in the program for a particular trip. Requests depend on availability, and the hours are converted at the interchange rate in the program agreement.
SR22 owner, longer trip
Take the Phenom 100 to Sun Valley or Napa, above the weather and back the same day.
Phenom 100 owner, short hop
Take the SR22 to Friday Harbor or Bellingham, where a jet would be more aircraft than the trip needs.
Where it goes
Based in the Northwest.Not bounded by it.
The program is built around the region we fly every day, and owners fly well beyond it. Its primary service area runs west of the Cascades from Centralia north, through the Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula and on into British Columbia. Trips inside it are billed at the standard rates. A trip that starts or ends outside it carries a repositioning fee, worked out from Boeing Field whether or not the aircraft repositions. Repositioning time does not come out of your hours, and the same daily minimum applies everywhere. Inside the service area, bringing the aircraft to you is part of the program: fly from Boeing Field, Renton, Paine Field, Bellingham or Friday Harbor, and the flight that positions the aircraft there is not billed at the hourly rate and does not come out of your hours.

What owners ask us.
What does a share cost?
It depends on the aircraft, the share size and whether you buy or lease. Our ownership team will take you through the buy-in or lease payment, the monthly management fee, the hourly rate and typical trip costs for the way you fly, before anything is signed.
How much do I need to fly for a share to make sense?
Most fractional owners fly more than about 25 hours a year. Below that, charter by the trip is usually simpler, and we will tell you so.
Do I get a particular aircraft?
No. You buy or lease a share of an aircraft in the program, and we assign the aircraft for each trip. That is what keeps the schedule working for every owner.
How far ahead do I need to schedule?
As early as you can. There is no fixed notice period; requests are scheduled first come, first served. On the ten peak days we ask for 48 hours' notice.
What is operational control?
Fractional flying is governed by FAA Part 91 Subpart K. Under it, you share operational control of the flights you direct with the program manager, Citizen Air Management, LLC. That means shared responsibility for each flight being conducted safely and legally. We brief you on what it involves before your first trip, and you sign an acknowledgment.
Can I fly the other aircraft type?
You can ask. Owners can request the SR22 or the Phenom 100 for a particular trip. It depends on availability, and hours count at an exchange rate set out in the program agreement.
Do I pay to have the aircraft brought to me?
Not for the flying, inside the primary service area. The area runs west of the Cascades from Centralia north, through Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula into British Columbia. Inside it, the flight that brings the aircraft to your departure airport, or takes it home afterward, is not billed at the hourly rate and does not come out of your days or hours. A trip that starts or ends outside it carries a repositioning fee, worked out from Boeing Field.
Can I fly it myself?
Yes, if you hold the certificates, ratings, currency and medical we require of our own pilots, follow our rest and flight-time rules, and give us 24 hours' notice. Your insurance has to allow it too. Otherwise our pilots fly every trip.
How long is the term, and what happens at the end?
Terms run three to five years. At the end, owners can renew or have us market the share for sale; lessees can renew or let the lease end.
Can I get out before the term ends?
The agreement runs for its full term, and the monthly fee runs with it. If your plans change, you can sell your share to a buyer we can qualify for the program, and we can market it for you; a transfer fee applies. If we fail to meet our obligations, or the aircraft is lost and we do not replace it, you can require us to buy your share back at fair market value on 120 days' notice. You can also end the agreement if we cancel more than eight of your flights, or more than 30 percent of them, in a year for reasons within our control. Either side can end it if the other does not fix a serious breach within 30 days of written notice.
How is this different from charter or SoundPass?
Charter is priced trip by trip. SoundPass sells seats on shared regional flights. A fractional share gives you days and hours on a program aircraft for the whole term, at a flat monthly fee and a set hourly rate.
Can I bring my pet?
Yes. Let us know ahead of time and we will have everything set up for your trip. Smoking is not permitted on program flights.
Are there tax benefits?
Buying a share may qualify for depreciation, including bonus depreciation; leasing does not. We are not tax advisors, so ask yours how it applies to you.
