CASEY
RATLIFF

Director of TBM Sales

Casey's journey into the TBM started with great debate over the right plane to buy for himself. In his position as a Cirrus CSIP and as a training center owner, Casey had access to plenty of wonderful planes to fly, but was ready to move up to a bigger plane with greater capability. After considering other turbine and even jet options, he landed on the TBM due to its versatility. Its six seats could fit the whole family, with plenty of payload remaining for their luggage, and its short-field landing capabilities allowed access to more airfields. Though Casey flew high performance fighters in his 20 year Air Force career, learning to fly the TBM did not require a type rating, making the transition even that much easier for Casey's piston-flying clients and friends, who all wanted access to the plane.

Three years later, Casey has nearly 1000 hours in the TBM and manages several of them. He is now also an insurance-approved TBM instructor for initial and recurrent in-aircraft training.

Casey brings his expertise of the TBM to Aerista. He helps clients who are looking to acquire one find the perfect TBM model for their specific needs. For owners/sellers, Casey brings a deep and nuanced understanding of the marketplace to bear to provide clients the best possible transaction experience.
