There are some tax advantages that one can use depending on the individual situation so it can be advantageous to both the school and the aircraft owner, for example. I have rented sailboats from a company in the BVI that specialized in this very thing. They were able to rent out sailboats with no capital investment and the owner had a sailboat paid for in 5 years as I recall. Airplane leaseback is the same concept.
Yes, there will be more wear as the plane will be flown more. However, just because a student is flying it doesn't mean it has to have "the crap beat out of it." I know from comments made on the trike lists that some instructors think that students have to be allowed to make bad landings so they can see what it looks like, but I do not agree with that philosophy. I really try to not allow students to make hard landings any more than I do myself. My philosophy is that there is no excuse for a hard landing as long as the motor is running and there is enough gas in the tank for one more trip around the pattern.

Please expain how this could be good. I am not being a smart a**. I just don't understand.
