Affiliate Disclaimer

Last updated: July 28, 2026

Aviator Trader (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an aviation classifieds and content site. We participate in affiliate, partner, and referral programs. That means we may earn a commission or other compensation when you click certain links on this site and later purchase a product, service, or membership from a third party.

This page is our sitewide disclosure. It applies across Aviator Trader—classifieds, articles, tools, emails, and social posts—not only to any single partner or network.

The short version

• Some links on Aviator Trader are affiliate / partner links.
• If you buy something after using those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you (unless a partner’s own terms say otherwise).
• We may also receive free or discounted products, media samples, or other incentives from partners when reviewing or featuring offerings.
• You are never required to use our links. You can navigate directly to any merchant or marketplace.
• Third-party sites have their own terms, privacy policies, prices, and availability. We do not control them.

Why we use affiliate programs

Running a classifieds marketplace and aviation resource costs money (hosting, tools, moderation, and development). Affiliate and partner revenue helps keep core listing and browsing features available and supports further improvements. Compensation does not change the price you pay solely because you arrived via Aviator Trader, unless the partner’s checkout terms explicitly state otherwise.

Partners and networks we may use

We may work with one or more of the following (and similar programs over time). Participation can change; absence of a name here does not mean a given link is not affiliate, and presence of a name does not guarantee we currently earn on every click.

We may add, remove, or rename relationships without updating every page that contains a link. This disclaimer is the controlling summary.

How affiliate links may appear

Affiliate or partner links may show up as:

• “View on eBay,” “Buy on Amazon,” “Shop,” “Learn more,” “Book,” “Enroll,” or similar calls to action
• Product cards, price mentions, or “recommended” gear
• Text links in articles, guides, and emails
• Buttons on classified listing pages that send you to an external seller or marketplace
• Banner or sponsored placements (when labeled as such)

Tracked links may include query parameters or redirect through a partner network so the merchant can attribute the referral. That tracking is for commission attribution, not a claim that we operate the third-party store.

Some links are not affiliate links (for example, plain documentation, government sites, or untracked URLs). When in doubt, assume commercial outbound links may be monetized and refer to this page.

Classifieds and third-party listings

Aviator Trader displays aircraft and aviation items from multiple sources, including local sellers and third-party marketplaces.

• For marketplace-sourced ads, the seller, transaction, shipping, escrow, and dispute process (if any) are handled on that marketplace or between you and the seller—not by Aviator Trader unless we explicitly say otherwise in writing.
• If we earn a commission on a qualified purchase or click-out (for example, via a marketplace partner program), that does not make us the seller of the aircraft or item.
• Listing details (price, times, equipment, airworthiness, damage history, etc.) are provided for information and may be incomplete or outdated. Always verify with the seller, logs, and a pre-buy inspection as appropriate.

Editorial independence

We aim to be useful and fair to pilots and aircraft buyers. Affiliate relationships can create incentives, so:

• We do not accept payment to invent positive reviews, hide known material issues, or misstate facts as a condition of a partnership (to the best of our ability and policies).
• Rankings, “featured,” or placement on the site may reflect editorial judgment, paid promotion, partner terms, or automated rules—when something is paid placement, we will endeavor to label it clearly (e.g., “Featured,” “Sponsored,” or “Ad”).
• Opinions on tools, schools, or products are ours (or clearly attributed guest authors) unless stated otherwise.

Pricing, availability, and accuracy

Third-party prices, stock, course schedules, and aircraft status change without notice. Aviator Trader is not responsible for:

• Price differences between our pages and the merchant’s checkout
• Items that sell, expire, or are withdrawn
• Errors in third-party catalog data or seller-provided descriptions

Always confirm final terms on the partner’s site before purchasing.

Your choices

• Use any link you prefer, or visit merchants directly.
• Disable cookies or tracking in your browser if you wish (some affiliate cookies may then fail to attribute a commission; that does not affect your ability to buy).
• Contact us if you believe a disclosure is missing or a link is mislabeled.

Advertising and sponsored content

In addition to affiliate links, we may run display ads, sponsored posts, or newsletter sponsorships. Sponsored material will be identified in a reasonable way. Advertising partners are separate from organic classified listings unless marked otherwise.

No professional advice

Nothing on Aviator Trader is legal, tax, insurance, or flight-instruction advice. Aircraft purchases and training decisions have safety and regulatory implications—use qualified professionals (CFIs, A&Ps, title/escrow services, etc.) as needed.

Changes

We may update this page from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated disclosure.

This page is provided for transparency and general compliance with common affiliate-marketing disclosure expectations (including FTC guidance on material connections). It is not a complete terms of service or privacy policy.
