PAC MarketReady
PAC MarketReady
pre-sale presentation.
A complete exterior and cabin program staged around the real milestones of a sale — listing photography, showings, the pre-buy inspection and delivery.
Pre-sale program
01Overview
A buyer decides
before they board.
The first impression of a listed aircraft is formed in photographs, confirmed on the walk across the ramp, and either held or lost in the first ten seconds inside the cabin.
Presentation is not a cosmetic afterthought in an aircraft sale — it is the frame every other conversation happens inside. A tired-looking aircraft invites scrutiny of things that have nothing to do with appearance, and it invites it before anyone has read a logbook.
PAC MarketReady is our most complete scope, sequenced against the sale rather than against a service menu. Correction, restoration and cure times are scheduled early because they cannot be compressed. Final detail lands as close to photography and showings as the schedule allows. Protection goes on so the presentation survives the weeks between listing and closing.
Everything runs through one point of coordination, with the broker, the owner, the flight department and the facility all working from the same agreed scope and the same dates.
02Sequence
Sequenced against
the sale.
- 01
Condition review
A full walk of the exterior and cabin, with the sale timeline in hand. What is achievable in the time available is agreed here rather than assumed.
- 02
Scope and sequence
The scope is written and sequenced against your milestones — long-lead correction and cure work first, final presentation last.
- 03
Restoration work
Paint correction, brightwork, leather repair and re-dye, window clarity and boot appearance as scoped. This is the part that cannot be rushed.
- 04
Protection
Protective systems applied so the presentation holds through showings and the weeks of a sale process, not just through the photoshoot.
- 05
Final presentation
The last detail pass timed as close to photography or the first showing as the schedule permits, including staging on the day where useful.
- 06
Handback and hold
A completion record, plus a straightforward path to a refresh visit before delivery if the sale runs longer than planned.
The cabin does the closing
Exterior work gets a buyer to the airstair. What happens in the cabin is what they remember on the drive home — and the details they notice are small, specific and entirely fixable.
- Seat leather restored and colour-matched across the scheme
- Carpet, runners and thresholds fully reset
- Galley and lavatory presented as new
- Every high-touch surface finished, because every one gets touched
Photography is unforgiving
A camera sees oxidation, wash marring and belly film far more clearly than the eye does on a hangar floor, and listing photographs outlive every other part of the presentation.
- Correction staged well before the shoot date
- Belly and lower surfaces given proper attention
- Brightwork and boots finished together on the leading edge
- Final pass timed as close to the shoot as possible
Where we stop
Presentation only, on both sides of a transaction.
We work for whoever engages us, on appearance, and we stay out of everything else that happens in an aircraft sale.
- No maintenance, airworthiness or records work
- No representation about aircraft condition to any party
- No involvement in negotiation, valuation or disclosure
- No publication of the aircraft, tail number or client without written permission
04Questions
About PAC MarketReady.
As early as the schedule allows. Correction work, leather restoration and cure times are not compressible, and a program that starts after the photographer is booked usually means compromising the scope. We will tell you what is achievable in the time you have.
Yes, and it makes a real difference. Knowing the shot list in advance changes which surfaces get priority, when the final detail happens, and how the aircraft is positioned and staged on the day.
We can address cosmetic findings within scope, coordinated with whoever is managing the sale. Anything that is a maintenance finding goes to your maintenance provider — we do not work on either side of that line for the other.
A protected finish holds far better than an unprotected one, which is exactly why protection is part of the program rather than an upsell. Where a sale runs long, a refresh visit before delivery is straightforward to arrange.
