Built for Speed. Backed by Expertise: SOLJETS Builds Momentum in the Pre-Owned Epic Aircraft Market.

The pre-owned Epic Aircraft market continues to gain momentum, and SOLJETS is helping lead the way.

‍

SOLJETS recently assisted clients with the successful acquisition of their Epic aircraft, guiding them through the evaluation, negotiation, pre-purchase inspection, and closing process. As that aircraft was being delivered to its new owners, another Epic represented by SOLJETS was already arriving for its pre-purchase inspection.

‍

At the same time, SOLJETS completed the successful sale of another Epic E1000 AX. These overlapping transactions reflect both the strength of the market and SOLJETS' deep experience representing buyers and sellers of Epic aircraft.

‍

Why Demand for Pre-Owned Epic Aircraft Remains Strong

‍

The Epic has established a compelling position between traditional high-performance turboprops and light jets. It offers the speed and advanced technology buyers expect from a modern business aircraft while maintaining the versatility and operating profile of a single-engine turboprop.

‍

The Epic E1000 AX offers impressive published performance:

• Maximum cruise speed of 333 KTAS
• Maximum range of 1,560 nautical miles
• Maximum operating altitude of 34,000 feet
• Best rate of climb of 4,000 feet per minute
• Six-seat, pressurized cabin
• Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67A engine
• Carbon-fiber composite construction
• Garmin G1000 NXi integrated flight deck

‍

The E1000 AX also introduces technology such as Garmin Autothrottle, Garmin Autoland upon final certification, PlaneSync database updates, advanced weather radar, CoolView windows, and high-speed cabin connectivity.

‍

For buyers who want turbine performance, advanced automation and the flexibility to reach smaller airports, the Epic presents an increasingly attractive ownership proposition.

‍

Why Buy a Pre-Owned Epic Aircraft

‍

New Epic delivery positions continue to extend, while the price of a newly delivered aircraft is approaching $5.5 million. Those factors are bringing more attention to late-model, well-equipped aircraft in the pre-owned market.

‍

A pre-owned Epic can offer several advantages:

• Faster entry into ownership without waiting for a future production position
• Immediate visibility into the aircraft’s maintenance and operating history
• Potential savings compared with a similarly equipped new aircraft
• Access to desirable equipment, connectivity, and technology packages
• The ability to inspect and evaluate the exact aircraft being purchased

‍

However, the Epic market remains relatively specialized. Individual aircraft can differ considerably based on year, model, total time, avionics, warranty coverage, engine-program enrollment, equipment, maintenance status, and ownership history.

‍

That makes working with a broker who understands the nuances of the Epic market particularly valuable.

Shawn Beckstrom: Practical Experience Behind Every Transaction

‍

SOLJETS Sales Director Shawn Beckstrom has played a central role in the company’s growing activity within the Epic market.

‍

Shawn brings more than three decades of entrepreneurial experience and over 23 years as a pilot. As an IADA Certified Broker, he combines aircraft-market knowledge with the firsthand perspective of someone who understands how owners and pilots evaluate aircraft.

‍

That operational insight becomes especially important during an Epic acquisition. Performance figures and equipment lists tell only part of the story. Buyers also need to understand how an aircraft has been operated, maintained, and configured, and how those details may affect ownership costs, future marketability, and long-term value.

‍

Shawn’s relationship-focused approach helps clients move through these decisions with clarity. His work extends beyond simply identifying an aircraft or finding a buyer. It includes understanding the client’s mission, evaluating available opportunities, coordinating due diligence, and keeping every party aligned through closing and delivery.

‍

A More Disciplined Epic Acquisition Process

‍

Purchasing an Epic aircraft requires careful coordination between the buyer, seller, broker, maintenance facility, legal representatives, escrow agent, and insurance provider.

‍

SOLJETS supports clients throughout the process, including:

• Defining mission and ownership requirements
• Identifying both listed and off-market opportunities
• Comparing aircraft against current market conditions
• Reviewing equipment, maintenance history, and operating time
• Structuring and negotiating the offer
• Coordinating the pre-purchase inspection
• Addressing inspection findings and discrepancies
• Managing closing, escrow, and delivery logistics

‍

The recent arrival of another SOLJETS-represented Epic for its pre-purchase inspection, while a separate aircraft was being delivered, demonstrates the company's ability to manage multiple active Epic transactions without losing focus on the details that matter most to each client's acquisition.

‍

Helping Epic Owners Sell with Confidence

‍

Selling an Epic also requires more than placing the aircraft online. The aircraft must be priced accurately, positioned effectively, and presented to the right audience.

‍

SOLJETS helps Epic owners understand the competitive landscape and develop a sales strategy based on the aircraft’s model, age, condition, total time, equipment, and maintenance status. Professional presentation, targeted exposure, and direct outreach to qualified buyers help generate stronger interest while protecting the owner’s time and confidentiality.

‍

The recent sale of an Epic E1000 AX is another example of this approach in action and reflects SOLJETS' continued momentum in the pre-owned Epic market.

‍
