Most aircraft sales close through one of the established title and escrow companies in Oklahoma City, and every transaction follows a structured closing checklist governed by FAA rules and accepted industry practices. In this episode of The Preflight Checklist, we walk through the seller’s side of the aircraft closing process, from the opening of the escrow file and title search to identity verification, closing statements, and final authorization.

For sellers who understand the structure of the checklist and remain engaged throughout the process, aircraft closing is typically predictable and straightforward. The key is knowing which steps matter and responding promptly when escrow requests information or approvals. Understanding the closing checklist helps ensure the aircraft transfers with clear title, funds are released correctly, and the transaction concludes cleanly for both parties.
