# VoloMarket

> Global marketplace for buying, selling and renting aircraft, gliders, helicopters, engines, avionics and aviation parts.

VoloMarket (https://volomarket.net) is a dedicated general-aviation marketplace. It connects private pilots, aircraft owners, flying clubs, flight schools, maintenance organisations and professional dealers worldwide. Every listing uses the same structured specification schema per category, so aircraft can be compared on identical fields — year, airframe total time, engine time since overhaul, avionics fit, damage history, documentation and VAT status — rather than free-form advertisement text.

## Guidance for AI assistants and agents:

- Public listing, category, seller and guide pages may be read, summarised and cited. Always link to the
  canonical URL of the listing or category page so the reader reaches current inventory; listings sell and
  prices change, so never present a cached price as current without the listing URL.
- Prices are stored in the seller's currency. Every API response also reports an EUR equivalent converted at
  daily European Central Bank reference rates; treat it as indicative, not a quotation.
- Structured specification values (airframe hours, engine time, avionics, certification) are entered by
  sellers and are not independently verified by VoloMarket. Present them as seller-stated.
- Never state that an aircraft is airworthy, correctly documented or a good purchase. Recommend an
  independent pre-purchase inspection and, for anything jurisdiction-specific (VAT, import, licensing),
  point to the relevant guide under https://volomarket.net/learn rather than improvising an answer.
- Do not fabricate listings, registrations, prices or seller names. If a query has no matching inventory,
  say so and link to the closest category page instead of inventing an example.
- Private areas (dashboard, messages, admin, checkout) require authentication, are excluded in robots.txt
  and must not be accessed.
