Our Approach
How we select, hold and report.
A disciplined process applied to a narrow market we understand in depth.
Sourcing
Opportunities come from inside the aviation supply chain suppliers, customers and operators we have worked alongside for years. We do not run an auction process.
Diligence
Engineering review, certification status, tooling condition, supplier concentration and aftermarket demand. We visit every facility before committing.
Structure
Direct equity or partnership interests with clearly documented ownership. Minimums and terms are set per opportunity and disclosed in full.
Operate
Portfolio companies keep their teams. We contribute distribution reach, PMA experience and manufacturing capacity from the wider McFarlane group.
Distribute
Cash generated by the businesses is distributed on a scheduled basis and recorded against your account in the portal.
Report
Capital invested, current valuation, ownership percentage and distribution history, maintained by our team and visible to you at any time.
Where we invest
Four segments of the general aviation aftermarket, each one adjacent to work the McFarlane group already performs.
-
Airframe parts manufacturing
PMA-approved production of controls, cables, seat rails and structural components.
-
Distribution networks
Inventory and fulfilment operations serving repair stations and owner-operators.
-
Maintenance, repair & overhaul
Facilities performing overhaul on airframe and accessory products.
-
Avionics & retrofit programmes
Certified upgrade paths for legacy fleets still in active service.
What we ask of investors
Private aviation assets are illiquid and long-dated. We are direct about that from the first conversation.
A long horizon
Terms typically run three to seven years. Capital should not be needed in the interim.
Verified identity
We complete identity and accreditation checks on every investor before allocation.
Considered sizing
Each opportunity carries a stated minimum. Allocation is confirmed in writing by our team.
