Thoughts on Personalizing Aviation
eneral and Business Aviation is an oftenundervalued commodity. Before becoming fully immersed in the sector professionally, I was heavily involved in my family’s retail business and would regularly take my Cessna 210 to fly colleagues to prospective sites. The convenience of the aircraft enabled us to visit stores in remote parts of Central Europe, in the most timeefficient manner. My colleagues liked the fact that we always got home at night. Not only was the 210 a terrific time-saving tool, it was complementary to the pressures of family life too. No need for long drives; time-wasting and tiring connecting flights and delayed airline schedules. That Cessna 210 was small, lacked facilities and was very expensive to run; but those late 1970s built pistonengined aircraft were tried and trusted – the forerunners of the modern turboprop singles of today. They’ve also influenced the next generation of aircraft sales professionals – to respond to that demand for personalized service. At Oriens we fly, demo and support our aircraft. Our motto is ‘Get More out of Life’, which is exactly what we want for our customers. My experience flying the 210 was my own invaluable ‘grass roots’ experience. The aircraft was aging and complex – and demanded constant maintenance. My own demanding travel schedule conflicted with this and gave me a heightened sense of what is important for customers.
the keys to a shiny new aircraft. We diversified at the right time, too, with a swelling critical mass of Pilatus PC-12s in t he British Isles (over 30 aircraft and growing). Many of these, and other similar types, operate from small aerodromes in and around the British Isles. We’re also aware that Business Aviation is being squeezed out of the major airports as low-cost carriers and the volumes of passengers (and revenue) they deliver far surpasses the average two to three passengers flying in by business jet.
The Challenge of Personalized Service
A Growing Niche Market
Today, we see a heightened commercial drive towards scaled up economies. MROs are consolidating. OEMs are buying up bigger independent MROs, some are getting out of General Aviation altogether. Other experienced and long-serving MROs are buying up rivals. The challenge in this market – particularly the GA sector, serving remote regions – is maintaining a personalized service. My concern back in those Cessna 210 days was, ‘what if anything irregular happens? If we have an AOG, would we be stuck?‘ My belief is that unsurpassed customer service is essential to engender customer loyalty. Being able to support the aircraft on the ground is a pre-requisite to success. We’re pleased with how our own business has been received one year after establishing our Pilatus Service Centre at London Biggin Hill Airport. Customers appreciate we can support them far beyond handing over 4 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
Fostering Personalized Service in BizAv
The beauty of aircraft like the Pilatus PC-12 and the all new PC-24 is that they do not need the long runways and infrastructure costs associated with large airports. If these aircraft can play a key part in keeping many under-threat small airfields sustainable, this is a positive thing for aviation as a whole. We strongly advocate STEM and encouraging young people in aviation. In d iversifying ourselves with MRO and AOG remote support activities; pilot training (in collaboration with Oysterair); and AOC advisory (following the relaxation of EASA rules in 2017), we’re pleased to play a part in creating opportunities for trainees taking the apprentice route to a career in Business Aviation. While academia has a role, over 90% of aviation services roles start vocationally via apprenti ceships (and hands-on work experience). Business Aviation in Europe accounts for just 5% of movements (source, EBAA) and single-engine commercial flight and business jet operations to smaller airfields accounts for a small slice of that. The successors to my Cessna 210 of yesteryear are forging a new path – and they are emerging with connected cabins; big jet avionics, and more. At O riens (Latin for ‘rising’ and ‘emerging’) we’re duly pleased to be embarking on our journey alongside Pilatus with the PC-12, and from next year the PC-24 when we offer our first delivery positions. I am very much looking forward to flying the PC-24, as well as supporting it on the ground too! ❙ Edwin Brenninkmeyer, CEO, Oriens Aviation, is both a private and commercial pilot who has learned from the discipline, rigour and safety of professional and corporate flying, to fly his family and business colleagues privately around Europe. www.oriensaviation.com www.AVBUYER.com

Business Aviation Market Overview What are the latest market indicators for business aircraft sales as we head towards the traditional summer slow-down? Aviation analyst Rolland Vincent presents his thoughts and observations…
W
hile 2019 Paris Air Show attendees deal with eardrum-piercing, afterburner-inducing migraines in the wake of aerial displays of the latest, greatest and loudest fighter jets yet conceived, many Business Aviation industry stakeholders are preparing for that other pilgrimage to the sun, sand and sea of their favourite beachside resorts. With sales of business aircraft about to hit the annual pause button as both sides of the negotiating table take a break, this is a good time to look at where the markets are at the halfway point in the calendar. 18 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
Slow Sales in the Used Market
Worldwide retail sales and leases of used business jets have had a comparably slow start in 2019, with transaction volumes from January through April at their lowest levels since 2011. In 2011, of course, the industry was still in recovery mode from the blunt-object impact of the global financial crisis. Year-to-Date (YTD) transactions are off 19% according to JETNET databases, despite the fact inventory levels had actually increased by 6% to 2,100 jets by mid-June 2019. “On market” inventory for sale has now inched up to 9.5% www.AVBUYER.com

of the in-operation business jet fleet worldwide, although that ever-glittering diamond known as a late-model remains as elusive as low-priced SAJF fuel. One of the challenges facing potential used jet buyers/lessees is the mismatch between their desire for younger aircraft and the aging status of much of the available inventory. In 2018, 65% of all retail sale/lease transactions involved jets that were initially delivered no more than 20 years ago. As of mid-June 2019, just 57% of the used business jet inventory listed on industry databases was 20 years or younger. In this environment, deals for young inventory that can be found (whether on-market or off-market) will continue to happen in an accelerated fashion. Our assessment of this situation is that buyers/lessors should seriously consider working with highly experienced brokers and dealers who have the expertise, track record and in-depth market knowledge to identify and close on a targeted aircraft without delay.
Growing Prospects for Economic Downturn
With transactions down while inventory levels are slowly rising so far this year, prospects for an economic downturn have increased in many country markets where Business Aviation is concentrated. GDP growth in the all-important US market is forecast to be 2.2% in 2019 according to The Economist Intelligence Unit, down from 2.9% in 2018 but in line with 2017’s growth rate. In Q1 2019, US GDP growth was estimated to be 3.1% Year-over-Year (YoY) compared to Q1 2018, implying that a slower period of expansion is likely to be on the near-term horizon. Just don’t tell that to corporate CFOs, who continue to watch as stock markets rise, with the bellwether S&P 500 Index up 15% YTD. After-tax profits of US corporations continued their torrid pace, estimated to be about $2tn on an annualized basis in Q1 2019 after accounting for inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments. While US corporations are generally flush with capital, the $65m question continues to be how best to convince them to invest in a new or used business aircraft. With another highly contentious US federal election season already underway a year and a half before the polls, and the never-ending Brexit divorce proceedings on full www.AVBUYER.com
public display, investors will have plenty to worry about for the balance of this year and probably next.
Pilot and Technical Talent Challenges…
As with other industry stakeholders, business aircraft owners and operators are truly feeling the pinch of a constrained talent pipeline, driven by a long-sustained economic recovery. US unemployment slipped to just 3.6% in May 2019, its lowest rate in 50 years and down steadily since a post-crisis peak of 10% in October 2009. In Europe, the EU-28 unemployment rate fell to 6.4% in April 2019, its lowest level since the start of the EU monthly unemployment records in January 2000. Of course, these rates of unemployment encompass all job and skill categories – ATP-rated pilots and A&P-rated technicians with locational flexibility are essentially a fullyemployed group, with individual and collective leverage to encourage employers to up the wage and benefits ante. Respondents to the recently completed Q2 2019 JETNET iQ Survey, all of whom own and/or operate fixed-wing, turbine-powered business aircraft, identified pilot and technical talent as the biggest challenge facing the industry in the next few years. Stemming the loss of talent, especially to the commercial airlines, and replenishing the talent pipeline with young, diverse and engaged new people is a high priority for many if not most Business Aviation industry stakeholders. Business Aviation owners and operators typically like to carve their own discrete pathways, with most preferring anonymity and discretion to conspicuous consumption and flamboyance worthy of The Panama Papers. Ironically, the fact is that the low profile of Business Aviation is in itself a significant contributor to the challenges the industry faces convincing people 1) that we even exist and 2) that we offer a rich variety of rewarding career paths, both on the ground and in the air. As much as ever, advocacy today isn’t just the job of lobbyists and industry executives. Advocacy is key to building tomorrow’s foundations for Business Aviation, whether in the halls of government, the corporate boardroom, or in the Margarita-serving BBQ shack by the beach. As they say, you never know with whom you may be speaking… MI www.navigating360.com

According to WingX’s recent monthly Business Aviation Monitor, 77,189 Business Aviation departures were recorded in Europe during May 2019, representing a second successive YoY decline of ~3%... Year to Date (YTD), European Business Aviation activity is now down by 1.7% (5.5k fewer flights) compared with the same timeframe in 2018. Private activity represented the largest decline, with privately-owned business jet flights slumping 7% YoY. Charter/AOC activity was flat overall. Following two months of heavy decline, Charter/AOC activity stabilized. Small and Midsize Jet activity suffered most in May and there were 5.3% fewer flights from these categories. By contrast, Large Jet flights were up by 0.7% YoY. Overall, declines in Business Aviation activity were the biggest out of France, Germany and the UK (down 4.5%), with all three markets down by at least 2% YTD. Meanwhile flight activity was flat in Spain. Business Aviation flights within Europe were down 2.9% during May but are still trending up by 0.4% in the past 12 months. May 2019 flight departures to almost all global regions were down, most notably to Africa (-10%). Flights to South America, however, were up 5% YoY. “A second consecutive drop of 3% in YoY Business Aviation activity confirms an increasing slowdown in the European market in 2019, reflecting the somewhat downbeat sentiment at EBACE,” Richard Koe, managing director, WingX summarises. “Symptomatically, whilst Nice and Cannes had their usual busy months in May, comparable YoY activity at these airports was down at least 10%. “The Brexit stranglehold on business activity in Europe, and especially the UK, is showing up in the continuing stagnation of flight demand out of London.” MI www.wingx-advance.com page 22

Shearwater: European Bizjet Market to Grow
Analysis from Shearwater Aero Capital reveals that as many as 1,071 new private jets could be delivered across Europe between now and 2025, potentially costing in the region of $38.5bn… The company’s analysis shows that Europe currently has a fleet of around 2,282 business jets, 1,119 of which are classified as ‘Heavy’ or ‘Large Jets’. Some 294 of them are Medium Jets, and the remaining 869 are classified as ‘Light Jets’. Chris Miller, managing partner, Shearwater Aero Capital, summarized: “Europe is a very attractive region for Business Aviation finance companies like ours. It has larger, more expensive aircraft than other markets, and the market here is increasingly focusing on benefits of using financing to purchase business aircraft as opposed to just paying cash.” MI www.shearwater.com

JETNET Sees Mixed Signals for Bizjet Market JETNET is optimistic about the business jet market, but also sees some reasons for caution on the horizon, it said in its ‘State of the Business Aviation Market’ presentation at EBACE 2019… Offering an overview, Paul Cardarelli, JETNET vice president, sales, notes the business jet fleet remains geographically concentrated, with ~61% of the world’s fleet currently based in the US. Moreover, the 22,138 business aircraft in service today recorded 4.5m cycles in 2018. That’s a similar level of utilization to 2005, but back then the in-service fleet numbered approximately 14,000. With around 33% more aircraft in 2019 than 2005 operating about the same number of cycles, “This is one of the things that gives us some concern,” Cardarelli says. “We have an oversupply situation and we have underutilization going on.”
Used Aircraft Market Summary
In the Used aircraft market, an inventory of <10% of the fleet for sale is traditionally considered a seller’s market. At the end of March JETNET data showed 9.3% of the business jet fleet was for sale and 6.7% for turboprops, the lowest levels since before the global economic downturn. Also, with 513 retail jet sale or lease transactions in Q1 2019 versus 641 in Q1 2018, there has been a YoY decrease of ~20%. Among the possible causes for this, according to Cardarelli, is the partial US government shutdown in January, stock market turbulence, and (possibly) a limited pool of inventory.
New Aircraft Market Summary
On the new aircraft side, five of the major business jet OEMs have shown increases in backlogs in Q1 2019, with book-to-bill ratios all above 1:1. Embraer and Bombardier are approaching 2:1. “We feel good about that…” Cardarelli adds. “We’re always conservative at JETNET iQ, we do want to call them as we see them, but we’re actually bullish, particularly for the OEMs.”
A Note on GDP
JETNET notes some decoupling in GDP growth between the US (which has been above 3% for the past two quarters) and Europe, which has remained flat at around 1.2%. Some of the blame is attributed to the protraction of Brexit, which is estimated to be impacting the UK economy by £19bn annually.
Survey Respondents Less Confident
In addition, Rollie Vincent, JETNET iQ founder, shared data from the company’s Q2 2019 survey, which at the time was 85% complete. The survey asks respondents to describe the current market conditions for Business Aviation. In H2 2018, ‘net optimism’ hovered around 50%, but it plunged to 27% in Q1 2019. Optimism appeared to have eroded further in Q2 2019, to 24%. In North America, >50% of respondents either ‘somewhat’ or ‘strongly’ believe there is increasing risk of a global economic slowdown in the next year, and in Europe >70% share that sentiment. “It’s all across the market, the mood has changed,” Vincent notes. “We think this is a caution sign, and it’s going to affect used aircraft sales first, which we think are coming down.”
Light at the end of the Light Jet Tunnel…
For the first time in its surveys, JETNET noted the percentage of intent to purchase Light Jets, which had been as low as 11%, has finally exceeded 30%, meaning a long-awaited improvement in the segment is under way, fueled by the Pilatus PC-24. The PC-24 topped the “what model are you most interested in for your next purchase?” poll, beating the Gulfstream G500, G650 and G650ER and Bombardier’s Challenger 350. Meanwhile, Vincent updated the company’s 10-year forecast to 7,100 jet deliveries worth $237bn through 2028. MI www.jetnet.com

Inventory Fleet Maintenance Condition
Fleet Asset Quality deteriorated 0.7% in May, and Maintenance Exposure worsened 1.4%. Overall, Asset Insight’s tracked inventory posted the following figures… Quality Rating: Remained below the 12month average and receded back into the ‘Very Good’ range by falling from 5.251 to 5.212 on Asset Insight’s scale of -2.5 to 10. Maintenance Exposure: Was worse than the 12-month average. Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated/embedded maintenance expense) increased to $1.45m from last month’s $1.40m.

Quality Rating
Asset Insight’s May 31 market analysis covering 96 fixed-wing models, and 1,653 aircraft listed for sale, revealed a 1.8% inventory decrease to the tracked fleet (31 units) and an average value increase of ~1%... Of all the categories, Turboprops experienced the greatest percentage change by decreasing 6.2% in May. Medium Jet inventory followed with an inventory drop of 2.9%, while Large Jet inventory decreased 2.7%. Small Jets were the only group to record an increase (2.1%). In terms of average aircraft value, while the tracked fleet increased just under 1% for a second consecutive month in May, Medium Jets posted another 12-month high figure, and Large Jets and Turboprops posted 12-month lows.
The ETP Ratio is a useful indicator of an aircraft’s marketability. It is computed by dividing the asset's Maintenance Exposure (the financial liability accrued with respect to future scheduled maintenance events) by its Ask Price. ‘Days on Market’ analysis has shown that when the ETP Ratio is greater than 40%, a listed aircraft’s time on the market increases, usually by more than 30%. During Q1 2019, assets whose ETP Ratio was 40% or more were listed for sale over 62% longer on average than aircraft whose Ratio was below 40% (or 237 versus 384 Days on the Market). May’s analysis also showed that 51% of all tracked models and nearly 60% of Asset Insight’s tracked fleet posted an ETP Ratio above 40%. In fact, the tracked fleet’s ETP Ratio worsened

significantly in May, increasing to 69.8% from April’s 63.6%: • As usual, Turboprops posted the lowest ETP Ratio at 54.5%; • This was followed by Large Jets, setting a 12-month best figure at 57.1%; • Medium Jets came third with 77.2%; • Small Jets recorded an ETP Ratio of 77.7% in May.
Market Summary
May saw inventory levels decrease back to near March’s figures, while average Ask Prices increased for the third consecutive month (although they are still below the 12month average).
Large Jets: Inventory decreased by 10 units in this category, with departures focusing more on lower quality assets, while additions represented assets of higher quality. These positive trends did not translate into a hike in the
units in the Medium Jet category, while the group’s Ask Price strengthened 4.7% to a 12-month high figure. Asset Quality and Maintenance Exposure both worsened, the latter posting a 12-month worst figure, as higher quality assets were favored by buyers. The price boost was insufficient to counter the maintenance condition deterioration resulting in the ETP Ratio climbing to 77.2%. However, the high ETP Ratio should not impede buyers from locating good values, assuming they have completed sound analytics on whichever units they elect to pursue.

Small Jets: Contrary to the other three groups, Small Jets
experienced a net increase to the for sale fleet of 11 units. While the current inventory is facing fewer near-term maintenance events, the cost of those events, based on the latest fleet mix, is projected to be substantially higher.

Based in Wichita, he has several thousand flight hours, and has piloted pretty much everything from foot-launched wings to combat jets. Contact him via Dave@avbuyer.com
Dave Higdon weighs the evidence of used aircraft dealers and
brokers against the observations and forecasts from industry analysts. What’s the current picture for the used jet marketplace?
T
he brakes seem to have been applied to the business jet market. This year's transactions lag 2018 by as much as 19% according to the latest market data. Observers blame various factors, including a flip side to the sales boost the market experienced after the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Of equal weight are the market dynamics, which those same observers believe is a trend that will last at least into next year. Let's first examine the latest data.

According to the AMSTAT database, 718 transactions of used business aircraft occurred between January 1 and May 31. For the same period in 2018, 886 transactions occurred. Analyst Brian Foley, Brian Foley Associates, observed, “It’s possible there is some paperwork lag, but it would still appear to be a downward trend. “For comparison, Year-over-Year for 2017 the used transactions were 873 – and 732 in 2016,” he adds. Foley echoes others when he says, “I’d explain that (decline) by saying that those buyers who could benefit by the 2017 tax law change allowing accelerated depreciation have largely done so already.” Interestingly, AMSTAT’s data notes used ‘Heavy’, ‘Medium’, ‘Light’ Jets and Turboprops, all suffered declines in retail transactions – with minimal variation by age. AMSTAT reports the business turbine fleet for sale remains below the historical, with jets at barely 9% and turboprops hovering around 7.5% of the in-operation fleet.
Tightening Supplies, Flat Pricing to Come
Some dealers and brokers see the trend for declining sales as a hallmark of the stronger sales of recent years – sales which cut deeply into the available pool of used jet and turboprop aircraft for sale; they see the old ‘supply and demand’ law coming into play. They also see a slight increase in the average www.AVBUYER.com
asking prices in the segments. Estimated values have indeed fluctuated… but not by much.
Other Sources Read the Scene Differently.
In a five-year forecast for new and used businessturbine aircraft, Jetcraft sees what many brokers and dealers have been expecting – further tightening of demand if a decline in new jet sales transpires as forecast. “Fewer new planes entering the market typically results in fewer used business aircraft available because of the reduction in trade-ins, which ultimately depresses the pool of attractive used business jets,” a broker from southeast US noted. Jetcraft's forecast anticipates an increase in new jet deliveries this year, flat deliveries in 2020, and slight declines thereafter until 2023. The same forecast predicts continued growth in used transactions through the same period, however. Those transactions should continue to grow at a rate proportionally faster than new aircraft sales.
Aircraft Sales: How Does 2019 Really Compare With 2018?
With a good flow of used aircraft joining the fleet for sale, the inventory shrinkage seems to have slowed. But what could be blocking price stability at this time? “Demand,” is the one-word answer provided by a West Coast dealer. If demand suffers even slightly, price stability is likely to suffer too, they qualified. Even if prices stabilize the ebb in demand can contribute to sales taking longer to transpire – so more days on the market contributes to the appearance of reduced demand, with a similar impact on pricing. In the view of many, however, demand declined as a ripple effect from last year's bump in used aircraft sales. Indeed, some of the signs of reduced demand stem from the higher demand in 2018 resulting from the 2017 jobs and tax law, possibly prompting some buyers to move earlier and/or more quickly than they had previously planned. “I would anticipate this year will be more AVBUYER MAGAZINE ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘

normalized, akin perhaps to 2016 levels before the tax write-off fervor,” Foley projects. He believes the ripe days for the used aircraft market passed last year. “They're behind us and tighter days are coming.” Others see a similar departure between last year's supply and the available fleet this year. Ditto for pricing – the small boost in inventory seems to have caused an out-sized shift in pricing, downward, when the inventory change is barely enough to impact the quality of the inventory. According to an East Coast broker, the pricing reactions amount to a “knee jerk response” from sellers that are upset at the lack of interest and long time it takes to sell an aircraft. As a batch of new Large- and Mid-size Jets arrive on the market this year from the OEMs, the available pool of used aircraft should start to edge upward, ideally adding to the supply of quality aircraft in the market. But whether that supply increase prompts further price cutting will be a trend to watch. If buyers take longer to deal, sellers may not stabilize their asking prices, prompting some market observers to hold, rather than play, as they bargain on further price reductions. “But if sellers hold their ground and don't indulge in unwarranted pricing cuts, buyers will quickly see that it's not the buyer's market they're hoping for, but a stable market balanced at both ends,” the East Coast broker adds.
Much of what the market does will hinge on whether buyers are confident in the overall economy, the state of which is currently in flux as the US continues to pursue a protectionist economic policy against friend and foe, alike.
Tariff Tales: So Far, Not so Bad…
One element of worry last year appears to have had little impact on the new jet sales that feed the used aircraft market with fresh inventory: Tariffs, on aluminum and steel. So far, at least, new jet sales appear generally unaffected by these levies (which have changed, shifted and changed again), both on the target materials and the nations suffering under them. The original levies China announced covered only a narrow range of commercial aircraft used as the basis for Boeing BBJs and Airbus ACJs. Had they been applicable, analysts put the potential cost of threatened retaliatory China tariffs on aluminum at barely 1% of the price of the nominal business-turbine aircraft. The number rises to about 2% for commercial aircraft. So far, China's threatened tariffs, applied, lifted or suspended, seemingly hardly impact US General Aviation sales at all. But it pays to be watchful. The way in which the US creates, announces and applies tariffs intended to change the behavior of other nations has proven somewhat unpredictable lately...❙
“But whether that supply increase prompts further price cutting will be a trend to watch.”

AVBUYER.com Keith Swirsky, president of GKG Law & Chairman of the firm’s Business Aviation Practice, has over 35 years of law practice experience focused on federal aviation tax, commercial law and regulatory issues.
B
Ryan Swirsky, an associate at GKG Law and member of the firm’s Business Aviation Group, concentrates his work on aircraft acquisitions & sales, federal & state taxation, financing, ownership structuring, and external management arrangements.
Given the large amount of money involved with the purchase of corporate aircraft, many aircraft owners are rightfully concerned with sales tax and the complementary use tax. GKG Law’s Keith Swirsky and Ryan Swirsky explore…
T
he concerns over sales tax and complementary use tax often prompt aircraft owners to take into consideration ways to minimize or eliminate their tax liability on the purchase. Most purchasers are aware that sales tax liability can be incurred based on the location of closing and will plan accordingly. Approaches include: • • • • •
Closing in a state with no sales tax; Closing in a state with an applicable exemption from sales tax for their aircraft; Closing in a low sales tax state (such as the Carolinas); Closing in a state with a fly-away exemption; or Closing in a state where complementary use tax would be owed if sales tax were avoided.
Strategies for Minimizing Use Tax Liability
With respect to the latter point, most purchasers are aware that the state where they hangar their aircraft, if different from the state where closing occurred, will be owed use tax on the transaction. Therefore, they will engage aviation tax counsel to implement strategies to minimize or eliminate use tax liability. These strategies vary state by state, including the mechanics and requirements of seemingly similar structures. Common tax planning tactics include: • • • •
Sales for resale; Interstate commerce exemptions; Casual or isolated sale exemptions; and Common carrier exemptions.
Having planned for sales and use tax based on where the closing for the aircraft occurred and where the aircraft will be based, many aircraft www.AVBUYER.com
owners believe that their sales and use tax concerns have ended. However, this is not the case. Multiple states can assert that complementary use tax is owed, even when such use tax is already being paid to another state! Such a situation occurs when another state asserts that it has ‘nexus’ with the aircraft. Many complex issues, often with taxpayer-adverse consequences, can result in such a situation.
Understanding a State’s Nexus With the Aircraft
The concept of nexus relates to the level of connection and presence between the taxpayer and the taxing jurisdiction. For a state to impose its sales or use tax, the taxpayer must have sufficient nexus with that state. The level of connection and presence required to establish nexus to assert use tax on an aircraft varies state-by-state and, unfortunately for the taxpayer, there is often a lack of clear guidance on what level of contact constitutes sufficient nexus. As stated, the hangar location is sufficient to establish nexus. However, it is possible that landings in other states, even infrequently, can create nexus with such states. In this circumstance, other factors are generally required, with factors commonly considered including: • • •
Regularity of travel to the state; The total days in the state during a ‘testing period’; and Whether the taxpayer has other connections to the state (e.g. payroll, property, transactions, tax return filings, etc.).

“It is important to note that the ability to mitigate such tax risk will be severely compromised if such planning occurs after the aircraft has been operated, or more commonly, after receipt of a use tax bill from such other state(s).” Proper advance planning with experienced aviation tax counsel can mitigate such tax risk. It is important to note that the ability to mitigate such tax risk will be severely compromised if such planning occurs after the aircraft has been operated, or more commonly, after receipt of a use tax bill from such other state(s).
What if Additional Use Tax Nexus Can’t be Avoided?
In the event additional use tax nexus is unavoidable, a taxpayer may be eligible to receive credit for taxes already paid to the original taxing state. Generally, states give a credit for ‘like’ or ‘similar’ taxes paid to another state. So, assuming the taxpayer paid, or is paying (if a leasing structure) a meaningful amount of taxes to State A, the challenge is to convince State B that the taxes
paid or being paid to State A are ‘like’ or ‘similar’ taxes. It is equally important that the aircraft was not used in State B prior to being used in State A, in as much as State B can deny the credit on the basis that State A owes the credit and not State B.
In Summary…
While avoiding, or paying sales tax is relatively straightforward, use tax planning is complex and cumbersome. The tax planning intricacies should also factor in a healthy measure of practical guidance. Once again, experienced aviation tax counsel should be engaged, in advance of the aircraft purchase. As always, the bigger picture of the flexibility of corporate aircraft utilization is paramount! ❙ More information from www.gkglaw.com

Aircraft Registries: What are the Tax Implications? Are some aircraft registries more advantageous than others? Should taxation be the leading reason for choosing where to register your jet? AvBuyer asks Chris Water and Marianne Domaille about the Guernsey Aircraft Registry… Chris Water
G
uernsey’s 2-REG began operations in December 2013 following eighteen months of intensive development. Initially three local business aircraft were added. Since then, 2-REG has experienced rapid growth, according to Chris Water, sales and marketing manager. “The milestone 500th registration was reached in April 2019,” he says. “Today the registry is intensively utilized by lessors for transferring commercial aircraft and fluid aircraft types. The Airbus A320 is among the more common jet types to be found on the Guernsey register, and we even have a couple of A380s. “All the while the number of registered business aircraft and AOCs continue to increase incrementally.” Guernsey, located in the English Channel, is an independent jurisdiction governed by its own Parliament – the States of Guernsey – but is dependent on the UK for the administration of foreign affairs and defense. As an established international finance center built on political stability and low taxation, it offers a firmly established fiscal and regulatory environment. To some, low taxation may be cause for suspicion that Guernsey’s 2-REG could be used as a means of

tax avoidance among the ‘super wealthy’. “Actually, where the aircraft is registe red has little bearing on its owner’s tax liabilities and reporting obligations,” clarifies Marianne Domaille, CEO of Guernsey-based Private Office Professionals. With extensive experience working in the fiduciary, trust and corporate service provider industry, estate planning and corporate governance, Ms. Domaille also has specialist knowledge of the aviation industry including management of Guernsey AOCs and aircraft registration. “It is not generally possible to achieve tax mitigation from the pure registration of an aircraft because tax authorities look at other elements – such as the ownership structure; where management and control is exercised; where the aircraft is flying; and if it is being used for private, business or commercial purposes. “There are more influential factors which will override wh ere an aircraft is registered to determine the tax position,” she elaborates.
Aircraft Registries: They’re About More Than Tax
Domaille suggests it would be unwise to base aircraft registry decisions on tax alone. “Guernsey is indeed a great choice to set up a www.AVBUYER.com

holding structure and register your aircraft because corporation tax is typically 0%. There are, of course, some operators who will take a short-term view and only look at which jurisdiction has the lowest current tax regime. “However, others take a longer-term view and consider the impact of changes to the applicable tax regime in the future (i.e. the impact of Brexit on the UK’s tax framework). “Much more important than tax, however, is to check that the choice of aircraft registration will not prevent the aircraft from flying where it needs to go.” Among the various advantages offered by Guernsey’s aircraft register is its perception as a neutral, politically stable jurisdiction that has been whitelisted as a transparent and well-regulated offshore finance center. It is also regulated by Guernsey’s own office of the Director of Civil Aviation (DCA). Guernsey’s acceptance of regulatory systems from the major aviation jurisdictions within North America and Europe ensures that 2-REG aircraft have a reputation of quality that is now familiar to aviation and customs authorities worldwide. www.AVBUYER.com
Aircraft Registries: What are the Tax Considerations?
Though there is clearly more that drives an aircraft registry choice than tax, where tax is part of a wider decision, what are the main issues an aircraft owner will need to consider? Domaille offers an example: “An aircraft flying privately into, and around, Europe may be subject to VAT. In that case, the owner may decide to use a European registry in a jurisdiction where the VAT rate for aircraft importation is lower. “The nature of the tax obligations on an owner will depend predominantly on where the aircraft is flying and the purpose that it is being used for,” she highlights. Ultimately, owners considering which registry would make the best sense for their future operations would be well advised to analyze their projected airplane usage, consulting a specialist who can advise them on the tax and regulatory specifics of the jurisdictions they plan to operate in.

Supplemental Lift— What’s Best for You? (Part 2) Having explored the concepts of charter, jet cards and fractional ownership as possible supplemental lift solutions, this month David Wyndham considers how to make a decision over adding supplemental lift to your flight department…
T
here’s far more to understanding supplemental lift in Business Aviation than knowing the options available. If there’s a real need to add extra flying capability to your flight department without buying an airplane outright, then you’re going to need to know how to decide between charter, a jet card, or fractional ownership. And once you have selected the right option, you will need to choose the right aircraft to fulfil those additional mission needs. Following is some advice on developing your understanding to ensure your next supplemental lift solution is the right one for your operation. 52 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
How to Choose the Right Type of Supplemental Lift
Why Consider Aircraft Charter? Chartering a business aircraft can make financial sense when flying anywhere from a few hours to approximately 100 hours per year. It provides the greatest flexibility and no commitment, as you are only under ‘contract’ for the flight you booked. Aircraft charter is flexible in the sense that you can choose different aircraft types based on your changing mission needs. However, if you’re looking at a number of empty-leg trips (i.e. ‘deadhead’ trips, with no passengers), a jet card with one-way travel may be worth considering. www.AVBUYER.com

Charter is booked either by contacting the operator direct, or via a charter broker. Why Consider a Jet Card? Typically, a Jet Card might factor as a viable option if there is a need for 25 flight hours up to around 100 hours annually (provided the hours are to be used within a year). But be aware that the options don’t stop there… There are card programs that offer different aircraft categories, newer models, and US-only operators versus global providers. As suggested above, many jet card programs offer one-way travel options. Generally speaking, the card programs guarantee their cost-per-hour for 12 months and are all-inclusive of fuel and other fees, with the exception of international travel costs. Why Consider Fractional Ownership? Fractional ownership comes with significant commitments compared to charter and jet cards. Fractional www.AVBUYER.com
aircraft require a form of ownership or an operating lease, and the contracts are generally for five years. Annual hour allotments are fixed and guaranteed. However, excess hours are limited and can come at a higher cost. To benefit from fractional ownership, your utilization needs to be predictable and stable. If they are not, you could end up with a quarter, an eighth, and a sixteenth share all under different contract start dates. Rather than just being an hourly fee, fractional pricing has a monthly management fee and an occupied hourly fee with a fuel-cost adjustment. Fractional ownership typically makes financial sense for those with the need for between 50 and 300 hours flying a year. It’s important to note, however, that above 250 hours the cost of whole-aircraft ownership may actually be more economical. There may be certain tax advantages to business aircraft ownership, but you should

carefully evaluate all charter alternatives before deciding on the best way to expand your current aviation operation.
How to Choose the Right Aircraft for Supplemental Lift…
The current aircraft in your operation should be capable of performing the most important mission to justify owning that particular aircraft. Overall, it should meet 85–90% of your private air travel needs. If your current aircraft is not a good fit most of the time, then replacing it may be the right move. Choosing the type of aircraft to have as a supplement is the same as choosing your primary aircraft. The travel needs will define the aircraft characteristics. So, you must first define the required and desired criteria and then evaluate the options. Whatever option you choose should be financially optimized. For example, though a Long Range Jet is capable of flying a 150-mile trip, a smaller Turboprop is likely to be more cost effective.
How to Manage Growth Using Supplemental Lift
Growing into another aircraft requires careful consideration and planning. What may look like continued growth into a second aircraft may plateau at a lower level of usage than anticipated. Conversely, waiting too long to acquire another aircraft may cost you more in the long run. Either way, projecting future demand is difficult. Therefore, adding another aircraft should be part of an aircraft needs analysis. This plan requires
inputs from the main users regarding what they want and need from air travel. The financial planning needs to be considered along with the benefits of the subsequent aircraft. Part of the process may indicate whether your current aircraft is capable of meeting your main requirement, and may suggest that you should consider a two-aircraft operation. You need to look at the budget for not only the current operation but for the total cost of owning and operating the aircraft. For example, if one aircraft is capable of meeting demand for 600 hours per year, then the second aircraft may not fulfil a requirement for 1,200 hours. The crossover point in these situations can often be much lower. One of our clients operated a trans-oceanic business jet that was flying approximately 150 hours annually over short- to medium-length trips. My financial analysis revealed it was less costly to buy a used Mid-size Jet than operate the global jet for an additional 150 hours per year and accept the associated operating costs and higher market depreciation.
In Summary…
Supplemental lift can be a great add-on to your normal aircraft usage. It can add a few more hours in the short-term, provide access to a larger aircraft for a special trip, or bridge the gap to owning another aircraft. Whether it’s traditional charter, jet card membership or fractional ownership, there is a solution to fit your needs and budget. In all cases, look at the total costs not only to acquire another aircraft, but also to operate it. ❙

How to Enhance Cost Analysis in Your Flight Department Why bother with detailed cost analysis for your flight operation? And how

S
itting at Helsinki airport with an AOG situation, it was almost impossible to stop thinking about the budget as we awaited the arrival of maintenance and parts. A routine flight from Budapest had deteriorated into a major exercise in logistics, creative thinking and international commerce. Resolving the issue took considerable coordination between our Director of Maintenance in the US, the OEM’s maintenance control in

Canada, a parts depot in Germany and the only available FAA-qualified technician hailing from France but dispatched by a service center in Portugal. Looking at this operational challenge, it was only natural to worry about our bottom line. Nevertheless, it was important to take the view that ultimately, our efforts would still deliver a balanced budget that would hopefully render this event a hiccup in our cost-averaged budget. www.AVBUYER.com

“...effective use of budget data should account for the unexpected.”
If solid management practices and historical data could be adhered to, it would be possible for these unexpected AOG costs to harmonize over time. That’s because effective use of budget data should account for the unexpected.
The Challenge of Unscheduled Surprises
Factoring unscheduled surprises into a budget is certainly a challenge. It must be consolidated as part of a viable plan that gets your airplane back in the air from an AOG situation, for example, using effective cost management and procurement controls. Last month we discussed budgeting and the importance of having a business plan that incorporates predicted costs, data accumulation, analysis and transparency. Without these components, the flight department is essentially a ‘pay-as-you-go’ operation, leaving too much room for unknowns and anxiety. As a flight operation matures, past budgets provide historical data to help you accurately understand the financial challenges ahead, and how annual cost oscillations change and affect delivery of a positive bottom line. With historical www.AVBUYER.com
budgeting data, it’s easier to identity and manage the areas where a leaner budget is required without sacrificing service excellence or crew lifestyle.
Historical Data Delivers Savings
By way of example, one operation I worked for billed each department of the company for their aircraft utilization. However, balancing the trip costs at one of our regular destination airports was proving problematic. For several months, I monitored the costs specific to that operation and discovered that the rogue expenses were for de-icing fluid. As it transpired, most of the operations at this airport occurred during the winter, and the only available option at that airport was to leave the aircraft parked outside in heavy wintery accumulation. Only one type of de-icing fluid was available – type IV fluid that required longer holdover times. We were burning hundred-dollar bills the moment that nozzle began spraying liquid! Armed with that knowledge, we developed a procedure to mechanically remove snow and frost. We invested in soft brooms, step ladders and

“The result was a more sophisticated, safer and ultimately cheaper operation.” safety equipment, and agreed on an hourly rate for the use of two FBO workers. We paid for an experienced de-icing operator to train them in the ice removal application process and paid to install a dosimeter on the de-icing nozzle, which ensured we paid for how much fluid was dispensed instead of being subject to an estimated charge. The result was a more sophisticated, safer and ultimately cheaper operation. In other examples, over a period of years as our data was migrated into spreadsheets, fuel purchases and fuel burns were added together with the name of the fuel provider in our flight logs. Analyzing the data enabled us to leverage our buying power with the provider who the data showed was hungrier for our business. That data also meant that when our home airport attempted to impose accessibility limitations to outside vendors, we were able to demonstrate to the airport authority the revenue impact of fuel taxes on local business.
Historical Data Helps Retain Good Staff
Finally, historical data has also been used to retain talented flight crew and support staff. Sometimes, it’s not enough to be competitive with salaries and benefits. To retain valued staff, it’s important to know what else could be done to sweeten the overall employment experience. The cost analysis data we accumulated allowed us to offer our crews credit towards perks during long-haul international trips, allowing each person to tailor their stay and add value to life on the road.
In Summary…
Never one to excel at math, it ultimately took for me to become an aviation manager to discover the applicative power of numbers and how effectively they can develop understanding of what things will cost. This is a valuable skill that provides the real-life data necessary to quantify, explain, validate and manage the ever-rising costs of flying private. ❚

Aircraft Comparative Analysis Cessna Citation Sovereign+ vs Hawker 900XP In this month’s jet comparison, Mike Chase provides information
on the Cessna Citation Sovereign+ and Hawker 900XP Mid-size Jets.
O
What are the advantages in each?
ver the following paragraphs we’ll consider key productivity parameters in our field of study, including payload, range, speed and cabin size, along with the current market for the Cessna Citation Sovereign+ and Hawker 900XP.
About the Citation Sovereign+
The original Citation Sovereign was built between 2004 and 2013. Over that time, Cessna produced a total of 350 units. After 2013, Cessna introduced the Sovereign+ and has built 84 Sovereign+ jets. One of the strong suits of this model that makes it so popular within the market is its range. The Citation Sovereign/Sovereign+ provide US coast-tocoast capability akin to larger cabin jets, while retaining the features that make Mid-size Jets so advantageous to many operators.
62 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
The pressurized cabin accommodates a crew of two plus nine passengers as a standard. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D FADEC-controlled turbofan engines provide the power (upgraded from PW306C on the Sovereign). The range capability of the Sovereign+ increased by more than 200nm distance over the original Sovereign when carrying four passengers. Of the 84 Citation Sovereign+ aircraft in operation, all are wholly owned. In April 2019, North America had the largest fleet percentage (82%), followed by Europe and South America at 8% each. Together, these regions account for a combined 98% of the world’s total fleet.

Hawker 900XP retained all of the advanced traits of the Hawker 850 (including fuel efficiency, aerodynamics, comfort, and more). The Hawker 900XP features Honeywell TFE731-50R engines designed specifically for the aircraft and rated at close to 5,000lbst, resulting in increased climb performance. In total, there are 182 Hawker 900XP business jets in operation, 178 of which are wholly owned, while two are in shared ownership, and two are in fractional ownership. As of April 2019, North America was home to the largest Hawker 900XP fleet percentage (70%), followed by Asia (14%), and Europe (9%) accounting for a combined 93% of the fleet. As we have established in previous articles, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor in selecting the right aircraft for their needs. Table A (top, left) shows the Citation Sovereign+ ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ is 1,400lbs, which is less than the 1,620lbs offered by the Hawker 900XP.
Cabin Cross-Section Comparison
Chart A (left) shows the UPCAST JETBOOK cabin cross-section comparison for the Citation Sovereign+ and Hawker 900XP. As shown, the Hawker 900XP has slightly more cabin height and width compared to the Citation Sovereign+. Also depicted, both aircraft have dropped aisle cabins to achieve their maximum heights. The chart doesn’t, however, show that the Citation Sovereign+ has a longer cabin (25.25ft) than the Hawker 900XP (21.3ft). This ultimately results in a greater cabin volume for the Sovereign+ (585cu.ft) than the Hawker 900XP (551cu.ft). In terms of baggage space, the Citation Sovereign+ has 35cu.ft interna l and 100cu.ft external volume. By comparison, the Hawker 900XP does not offer external baggage storage but has 50cu.ft internal luggage capacity.

Aircraft that are owned and operated by businesses are often depreciable for income tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Under MACRS, taxpayers can use accelerated depreciation of assets by taking a greater percentage of the deductions during the first few years of the applicable recovery period (see Table C). In certain cases, aircraft may not qualify under the MACRS system and must be depreciated under the less favorable Alternative Depreciation System (ADS) where depreciation is based on a straightline method, meaning that equal deductions are taken during each year of the applicable recovery period. In most cases, recovery periods under ADS are longer than recovery periods available under MACRS. There are a variety of factors that taxpayers must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated and, if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that should be utilized. For example, aircraft used in charter service (i.e. Part 135) are normally depreciated under MACRS over a sevenyear recovery period, or under ADS using a twelve-year recovery period. Aircraft used for qualified business purposes, such as Part 91 business use flights, are generally depreciated under MACRS over a period of five years or by using ADS with a six-year recovery period. There are certain uses of the aircraft, such as non-business flights, that may have an impact on the allowable depreciation deduction available in any given year. The US enacted the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act into law on December 22, 2017. Under the new Act, taxpayers may be able to deduct up to 100 percent of the cost of a new or pre-owned aircraft purchased after September 27, 2017 and placed in service before January 1, 2023. This 100% expensing provision is a huge bonus for aircraft owners and www.AVBUYER.com

operators. After December 31, 2022 the Act decreases the percentage available each year by 20% to depreciate qualified business jets until December 31, 2026. Table D (bottom left) depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2013model Citation Sovereign+ in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over fiveand seven-year periods. Table E (right), meanwhile, depicts an example of the MACRS schedule applied to a 2012-model Hawker 900XP used in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five- and seven-year periods.
Asking Prices & Quantity
The current used market for the Citation Sovereign+ aircraft shows a total of five jets for sale, two of which have asking prices of $10.4m and $11.2m. For the Hawker 900XP, 17 aircraft are listed for sale nine of which display asking prices ranging between $3.695m and $5.99m. While each serial number is unique, the Airframe Total Time (AFTT) and age/condition of an aircraft will cause great variation in price. Of course, the final negotiated sale price remains to be decided between the seller and the buyer before the sale of an aircraft is completed.

Others may choose different parameters, but serious business aircraft buyers are usually impressed with price, range, speed and cabin size. For more than double the purchase price (2013-model Citation Sovereign+ vs 2012model Hawker 900XP) the Citation Sovereign+ demonstrates a higher level of productivity compared to the Hawker 900XP and the original Citation Sovereign. While it edged out the Hawker 900XP with a greater cabin volume, more range, lower operating costs and higher cruise speed, it has a lower ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ capacity than the Hawker 900XP. www.AVBUYER.com

In Summary
Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the attributes that business jet operators value. There are other qualities such as airport performance, terminal area performance and time to climb that might factor in a buying decision. Operators should weigh up their mission requirements precisely when picking which option is the best for them. ❙

VALUES - LIGHT JETS
AVBUYER.com
Business Aircraft Values: Light Jets Where performance and value are dominant factors for a mission need, remember this: there’s nothing lightweight about the value and flexibility of the Entry-Level & Light Jets.
A
s business jets increase in size from Entry-Level & Light jets to the low end of the Large Cabin models, six to eight seats generally remains the standard configuration across size-category lines. And while cabins increase in volume generally (enabling more productive workspace for those traveling longer distances), full-fuel payload doesn’t seem to grow proportionally in most cases. As jets get bigger and heavier their runway needs increase, with no appreciable gain in how many people or equipment can fly – and thus we touch upon the key advantages of the Entry-Level & Light jet category - the value and flexibility offered to those who typically fly shorter legs. Fully-fuelled, an Entry-Level or Light jet can often barely carry the typical passenger load of three persons, unless one or two of them doubles as a crew member. Nevertheless, with the average mission length below 750 miles and the nominal maximum-range of Light jets around 1,200 miles, the crew enjoys the option of flying lighter and saving fuel. Fueling for the mission with NBAA reserves allows larger cabin loads, making three or four - plus crew - possible. The time difference between Entry-Level & Light jets and Large jets to fly a typical 75 0nm mission is small (about 10 to 12 minutes, overall) and is not a large time-saving for costs that may be considerably higher for the larger aircraft. Further, beyond these speed-range-payload operational basics, the Light jet crew will have the option of far 70 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
more airports, often closer, more convenient and less expensive than what’s needed for the Medium and Large jets. Thus, it’s hard to escape the hea vyweight value of the Entry-Level & Light jet. So what exactly is a Light jet? Today we consider a jet “light” when its MTOW falls between 10,000 and 20,000 pounds. About a decade ago the Light segment represented the bottom rung of the business jet ladder. That was before the Entry-Level Jets entered the market, differentiated by weights below almost everything ever built at less than 10,000 pounds.
Entry-Level & Light Jet Price Guide
The following Entry-Level & Light Jets Retail Price Guide represents current average values published in The Aircraft Bluebook – Price Digest. The study spans a twenty year period, from 2000 through Spring 2019, and covers 34 models. Values reported are in US$m, with each reporting point representing the current average retail value published in the Bluebook by its correspon ding calendar year. For example, the Learjet 40XR average value reported in the Spring 2019 edition of Bluebook shows $2.5 million for a 2009 model, $2.3 million for a 2008 model and so forth. Note: We have included 34 aircraft models in the following Light Jets average price guide, and for additional assistance, Conklin & de Decker’s Performance and Specifications data for these models can be referred to, beginning on page 78.

T
he AvBuyer Magazine Guide to Aircraft Performance and Technical Specification Data is updated by Conklin & de Decker on a regular basis. The Guide is much more comprehensive and informative, providing more aircraft types and models and including variable cost numbers for all models. This month’s category of aircraft - Light Jets – appears opposite, to be followed by Turboprops next month. Please note that this data should be used as a guide only, and not as the basis on which buying decisions are taken. The data presents aircraft aged below 20 years of age only, but Conklin & de Decker provides details of older airplanes too. If there are any other ways in which we can improve the content or presentation of this information, please let us know.

Description of Cost Elements
The following describes the content of each cost element used in The Aircraft Cost Evaluator. There are no sales taxes included in these costs.
SPECIFICATIONS - GENERAL
Cabin Dimensions: Cabin Height, Width, and Length are based on a completed interior. On “cabin-class” aircraft, the length is measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead (or aft cabin bulkhead if unpressurized). For small cabin aircraft, the distance is from the cockpit firewall to the aft bulkhead. Height and width are the maximum within that cabin space. Cabin Volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs or other furnishings.
•
Maximum Payload is the maximum zero fuel weight minus the basic operating weight.
Performance Range: • Ferry Range - is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft.
Seats Executive: This is the typical crew and passenger seating commonly used on the aircraft. This is not the maximum certificated seats of the aircraft. These numbers may vary for different operations (Corporate, Commercial, EMS, etc.).
Cruise Speed: (Knots True Air Speed - KTAS) Max Cruise Speed - is the maximum cruise speed at maximum continuous power. This may also be commonly referred to as High Speed Cruise.
Weights: • Maximum Take-Off Weight is specified during aircraft certification.
Engines: The number of engines, manufacturer and model are shown.

Is Your Engine Overhaul Due? Here’s What to Plan... What’s involved in planning for an engine inspection or overhaul, and what are the best practices and the pitfalls along the way? Dave Higdon reviews…
T
he average annual flight times of today’s business jets run between 350-500 hours. On that basis, the owner of a brand-new jet with engines on a 4,000-hour Time Between Overhaul (TBO) cycle can reasonably expect eight-to-11 years flying time before the first overhaul is due. They’d also be looking at four to 5.5 years before their first Hot-Section Inspection (HSI). That gives the savvy operator plenty of room to be 82 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
preparing for those two seminal events in a businessturbine engine’s life cycle. With this in mind we’ll consider the options available to operators who are watching the clock run down on those first TBO/HSI events. Those options range from grounding the aircraft and acquiring access to a temporary replacement aircraft (supplemental lift), t o leasing replacement powerplants in order to keep the company airplane www.AVBUYER.com

for periods of low demand for the aircraft. So, you’ll need to analyze the data available to your flight department to know when those are likely to be. (Many operations follow the same philosophy when they’re establishing the annual inspection – required of all Part 91 operators.) When a major engine event is due, the ideal would be to schedu le it at the same time as the airplane’s annual inspection. This approach assumes you plan to do without the company airplane for the duration of the inspection/overhaul, in which case it may be necessary to arrange supplemental lift. The benefit of minimizing downtime ranges from reducing your spending on supplemental lift (where necessary) to lowering the cost for loaning replacement powerplants while y ours are being overhauled at the maintenance shop.
Whether to Use Supplemental Lift or Loaner Engines…
flying while the powerplants undergo their renewal. A qualified overhaul partner is required, as is timeinvestment in producing adequate documentation and clarifying the costs.
Who Will be Your Engine Overhaul Partner?
The first item on your planning list should be to research and select in advance a vendor who is able to perform the work when the time arrives. That vendor should be capable of coordinating the other elements of the work package, including: • • •
Engine removal and re-installation; Shipping (where required); Test runs and acceptance flights.
Ensuring your overhaul partner is fully capable of coordinating the whole project, you’ll have peace of mind that you have a partner who knows the plan and can follow its progress closely.
How to Time Your Overhaul
It’s logical to schedule major engine-maintenance events, whether overhauls or hot-section inspections, www.AVBUYER.com
Deciding which path to follow while your engines are in the shop should be a leading question. If supplemental lift (ad hoc charter, jet card or wet leasing) is the likely route, time is needed to prepare. In the case of charter and jet cards, advanceplanning can often help secure fixed-rate and scheduling benefits while also affording you time to establish that the prospective charter company’s safety standards at least match your own high standards. Alternatively, planned access to loaner or rental powerplants is an option that’s appealing to many operators investing in hourly engine maintenance cost programs. Note that the benefits of a professionally managed maintenance program can help ease the load on an operator on every level, depending on the details of the program they’re enrolled with. Support can vary from a turn-key process that is completely managed by the program provider, to more limited service covering the overhaul or inspection itself, but not the removal and reinstallation of the engines, for example.
What About Engine Insurance, Shipping and Re-Installation?
When considering costs of an inspection/overhaul, you’ll need to factor the removal, re-installation, shipping, insurance and the work package itself (which very likely will include replacement parts). Smart operators begin to plan on their overhaul

MAINTENANCE
when they acquire the aircraft. When costing up the project, the above costs should be detailed in writing between the operator and the entities involved in the upcoming inspection/overhaul, and all vagaries need to be specified, including who pays for the shipping and who is insured for the insurable elements.
Copying Your Documents Insures Against Problems
The process will involve significant paperwork, and care should be taken to ensure continuity of all the required documentation. Generous duplication is recommended. Maintenance shops and hourly maintenance cost program providers recommend copious copying of documents and keeping of the duplicates as well as the originals. In particular they urge copying of all powerplantrelated logs. The very existence of certified copies can be a real benefit should a document get lost, stolen or be involved in a shipping accident. The existence of the duplicates can also help streamline the process of recreating missing logs in the event they are needed in the future.
Is it Time to Address Other Maintenance Needs?
Given the downtime involved in sending in two engines for overhaul, you may want to look at other maintenance and upgrade needs you've been considering – especially if the engine work is timed to coincide with an annual inspection or other major maintenance event. So, if you’re thinking of an interior refurbishment, new paint or an avionics upgrade, for example, it’s 84 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
AVBUYER.com
best to start considering such options a year or more ahead of the TBO due date.
Why Bother With the Acceptance Flight After Overhaul?
Following all the pre-planning leading up to the event, and the additional planning to keep your executives moving during the engine overhaul, one major step remains: The acceptance flight. Essentially, a detailed test flight following reinstallation of the engines should be arranged, and ideally the overhaul vendor will be on hand and involved in that process since there are big bucks involved. During the acceptance flight you’ll be checking whether the engines make rated power, demonstrate normal operating pressures, temperatures, turbine speeds, lubrication and fuel flow. Once the engines have demonstrated their normalcy, they can formally be returned to service.
Now...Relax – Until the Next Time
If the process worked well and left you satisfied, this will also be a good time to assess the aircraft's future with your operation. With a pair of freshly overhauled powerplants as well as any other work performed at the same time, it could be an optimal time to have the aircraft valued and to assess its viability as a tradein or sale. That aircraft is unlikely to ever be worth more than it is following overhaul and you'll be unlikely to be as prepared to consider such an option as you are now… At least until the next time an overhaul comes around. ❙ www.AVBUYER.com

Trevor West spotlights cabin LED systems, asking MROs to illuminate customers on the expanding aftermarket lighting options.
L
ike other fields of aviation, cabin illumination has undergone a digital transformation over the past dozen years as solid-state LED (light-emitting diode) technology with circuit boards, computer chips and lighting strips has replaced incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. The benefits of LED lighting are widely recognized: They create a much more comfortable cabin ambiance than fluorescent lighting and are far less prone to equipment problems and bulb burnout, lasting some 15 to 20 times longer among other advantages. Additionally, “When you do a big interior update, nothing sets it off like new LED lighting,” says Duncan Aviation’s avionics installation sales representative Justin Vena. “The lighting in the aircraft actually affects your mental state and your stress level,” explains Elliott Aviation’s vice presi dent, avionics programs and operational logistics Mark Wilken. “It’s proven: the light coming through the eyes in different colors affects the way you feel.” The downside? LED lighting is relatively expensive, and without a lot of aftermarket options to offer. Therefore, such upgrades haven’t been on most owners’ and operators’ radars come modification time. That’s changing, according to the MROs we spoke wi th, helping to lead an expanding LED aftermarket. The Number 1 rule of any lighting upgrade, they say, is defining the mission. www.AVBUYER.com

What’s Driving Your Lighting Upgrade?
“The first thing I ask is, ‘What’s your motivation behind the LED installation?” Vena reveals. “Is it because your existing fluorescent system is expensive to maintain or obsolete? “Or do you want to better the lighting because you’re redoing the soft goods or cabin walls and you want to give it more pop?” The answer will help define the solution. Obsolescence and economics are the most frequent drivers, as replacement parts for fluorescent systems get pricier and harder to find. Some firstgeneration LED lighting systems are themselves no longer factory supported. “I’ve had three projects here recently where a week from delivery we were squawking out [B/E Aerospace] 5800-series bulbs,” said Vena, referring to popular early LED lights no longer supported by the OEM – n ow a part of Collins Aerospace, which is itself expanding its LED cabin lighting portfolio. Even for older systems that remain OEMsupported, it can take weeks to get replacement bulbs. Drop-in third-party LEDs are good options as replacements, particularly if time is an issue, requiring lead times of say two weeks versus eight to 12 weeks for factory lights. Aircraft Lighting International (ALI), a prim ary supplier of third-party replacements, makes LED drop-in bulbs for both LED systems and fluorescent systems. ALI has LED fluorescent replacement bulbs that incorporate all the power supply and controls found in the ballasts of fluorescent lighting systems, allowing removal of the heavy and failure-capable components. Alternatively, for quicker, less costly conversions, LED bulbs that use the existing ballast for power can 88 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
be employed. The consensus among MROs is to remove the ballast in favor of a total LED system, eliminating the analog-era component/point of failure. When time isn’t a factor, the choice between factory and third-party replacement bulbs is often personal. “Some customers want to stick with what the factory is doing,” said Vena. “Some are frustrated by the fact they have an LED bulb that’s obsolete and don’t want to buy replacements from the company that sold them the first ones.”

Concept for Cessna Hemisphere Cabin
Choosing Your LED Lighting Ambiance
LED lighting can be white-only, or RGB (red-greenblue) systems which also provide an infinite variety of colored light. Most LED installations of either white only or RGB provide simple upwash and downwash lighting. The former casts light from valences upward, the latter downward, and these provide for most onboard ambiance lighting needs. But LED systems are also highly configurable and can provide a multitude of effects beyond upwash and downwash. As part of a recent installation, Elliott made 3D-printed cup holders with LED lighting around the base with the aircraft owner’s LEDilluminated logo at the bottom, created with laser-etched acrylic. RGB systems combine the three primary colors to create white as well as infinite other hues. The color, or temperature (in Kelvin), of the white light can be tuned in both white only and RGB systems, going from a warmer, orange-yellow tone in the 2,500 to 2,700 Kelvin range, through pure white at 5,500, to a cooler blueish tint at around 6,000 Kelvin, Wilken says. The temperature of white-only LEDs can be set at the time of installation, though some allow onboard temperature adjustment. For guidance, major MROs have lighting e xpertise on their interior design teams as well as tools to help customers see and compare the differences in lighting temperatures. For onboard operation of today’s systems, touchscreen controllers with color squares can be adjusted as desired, and app-based controls allow cabin occupants to adjust lighting through their own mobile devices. Some LED systems offer programs with presets 90 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
that automatically ad just the lighting to the phase of flight or the destination.
Healthy Lighting for Passenger Comfort
This ‘healthy lighting’ trend is exemplified in the circadian-based LED Soleil Dynamic Lighting that Bombardier introduced in May for its new Global 7500. Soleil, French for sun, uses RGB lighting to help passengers onboard the world’s longest range, purpose-built business jet re-adjust their body clocks during their journeys. Similar applications will likely be quickly adapted for the aftermarket.

Elliott’s Prizm RGB LED Cabin Lighting System
However, even in new LED installations, many owner/operators retain their incandescent reading and dome lights (and typically avoid any involvement with emergency lighting systems in the modification as well, to avoid certification complications). Early LED reading lights often delivered a harsher, more concentrated light pattern than incandescent lights they sought to replace. Current LED reading lights can provide softer, yet brighter and more dispersed illumination than their incandesced counterparts. And drop-in LED replacements with adjustable temperatures are available for incandescent eyeball and reading light fixtures.
When is Best to Upgrade Your Lighting?
A major inspection, when the aircraft has the interior removed, provides an ideal opportunity for a complete LED system upgrade. But the reality is demand for lighting upgrades lags far behind that for connectivity and ADS-B installations, with cost a major factor. “If they can cut $60,000 off the [shop] visit—which is about what these systems cost for a Mid-size Jet [installation] — that’s quite a bit off the bottom line,” Vena says. Further complicating the sale, the options available today can make estimating upgrade costs difficult. Duncan Aviation used to make its estimates based on cabin length; so a 15-foot cabin meant 60 feet of LED lighting, covering the up-wash and
downwash on each side of the cabin. But bulb length affects the cost, and with dualand multi-zone cabins, and forward and aft sections, “You almost need to have the installation designed” before y ou can provide a quote on the installation, Vena adds. Disappointed with the LED lighting on the market to offer its customers, Elliott Aviation has introduced, under the Elliott Technologies brand, the Prizm RGB LED system for business aircraft, “from the turboprop all the way to the wide-cabin jet,” says Wilken. A built-in Wi-Fi access point allows control via a mobile device, and the system includes an easily configurable control app. Optional features can take the system “from mild to wild,” said Wilken, yet a basic, feature-rich Prizm costs “the same basic price competitors are charging for a white-only” system, he adds. In March Prizm received FAA PMA approval for parts manufacture and has been installed on aircraft from a King Air “up through a mid-size Citation and Hawker,” and Elliott is developin g an authorized Prizm dealer/installer network, Wilken says. “Half a dozen have been installed, and another half a dozen sold,” he concludes.

“There are many benefits. Primarily it allows a well-designed user interface to use a limited space and present whatever information or control features are necessary to the pilots. It can be fieldupgraded to add features or enhance the system or interface. It is actually far more space-efficient,” he explains. Indeed, there appears to be consensus that touchscreen avionics allow pilots to in terface with the aircraft, flight deck and its systems more efficiently. “Touchscreen efficiencies, such as pinch-to-zoom on a moving map, allow pilots to quickly access the information they need instead of searching for the same information in several pages/chapters in an older global positioning system (GPS), navigator or flight management system (FMS),” a Garmin spokesperson highlighted. “With the integr ation of tablets in the cockpit, touchscreen cockpits are a natural progression and allow pilots to more easily transition between the two.” www.AVBUYER.com
According to Greg Crawford, associate director, avionics system engineering, Collins Aerospace, “Touchscreens are able to open a new world of controls for the pilots much like tablets have changed the computer and cell phone industries. Interaction is now directly with the item you are interfacing with instead of finding a separate control location. “This enables the user interface to become enhanced and directly tied to the item at hand: Type and a keyboard is provided; adjust a range and a slider is provided. Indicators can be improved for mode and selection providing a more intuitive user interface.” By way of illustration, Universal Avionics recently received an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate for its touchscreen EFIS Control Display Unit (ECDU) for the InSight Display System. Designed for efficiency, the Touch ECDU provides fast, easy access for InSight user control and input. Available in touchscreen or nontouchscreen versions, both ECDU models combine

multiple InSight System controls, including the flight displays, FMS, radios, traffic and terrain into a centralized control device. “The convenience of the touchscreen technology is another step in the reduction of head-down time,” specified Dan Reida, vice president - sales, marketing & support, Universal Avionics. Universal points out that the ECDU eliminates the need for external panels that take up valuable cockpit space by integrating with the PFD/MFD and standalone radios. And the Touch ECDU combines the functionality of the traditional ECDU with an even more intuitive interface for an enhanced, easy user experience.
Touchscreen Flight Decks: What are the Safety Implications?
Inherent to touchscreen technology are the implications for safety that might arise during hazardous situations (such as turbulence) that are stressful for pilots. Those implications haven’t been lost on the equipment manufacturers, however. “While touchscreen can be difficult to use in turbulence, even standard knobs and controls under some conditions are hard to locate and use,” Damschen argues. “Touchscreens do need to have provision for a hand rest or stabilization device in those conditions. Beyond that, touchscreens meet all of the requirements necessary for their operating environment and pose no additional issues. [In fact] most systems do have additional logic to monitor pilot inputs for incorrect or erroneous inputs.” According to the spokesperson at Garmin, the company intentionally designs its avionics and flight decks so that pilots can utilise both the touchscreen and dedicated knobs/buttons along the bezel of the displays to perform common inflight functions such as altitude pre-select, changes 96 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE

to aircraft heading, and even make flight plan amendments. “Garmin conducts a thorough human factors assessment to ensure pilots can get to the information they need easily and with accuracy in all flight conditions,” the spokesperson adds. “Touchscreens, in general, are no more difficult to use in turbulence provided a stable anchor point for the hand is available,” Crawford says. “Touchscreens also allow for simplified user interfaces that may walk the pilot through actions to ensure completion and proper order. “Ultimately, they open the door to improved automation techniques that reduce crew errors and provide better feedback of automated actions to the pilot,” he concludes. ❙ www.AVBUYER.com

What’s the Future of Avionics? (Part 2)
Ken Elliott continues his reversed-time journey from the future back to the present, covering the evolution of avionics from different perspectives.

he pace of change in our world increases exponentially, such that our grandchildren/great-grandchildren will have a very different perspective to us. What may seem unbelievable or even outright scary to us now will be the norm for them. With that in mind, it’s important for us to let go and appreciate the fact that what we hang on to is tenuous at best. Regarding aircraft and their equipment, we must expect some revolutionary changes to appear in our window on the future. Following are just a few of the evolutions that will thrust us into the future of flight: • • • • • •
Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications (WAIC) Wi-Fi Avionics 5G Technology to advance unmanned operations Technology to advance eVTOL flight Technology that allows aircraft to operate autonomously above 500ft.
98 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
Each of the above can be further broken down into their various uses for advanced flight. Besides the fact that an aircraft’s design is dictated by its intended function and purpose, the theory of its flight and the laws that govern it do not change. It’s our adaptation to the laws that will. The term SWaP-c is the all-important backbone of deciding the right aircraft for a mission: -
Size (S) Weight (W) and Power (aP) with an eye on cost (-c).
As any aviator knows, weight has a direct influence on the ability to stay in the air. Reducing the weight of an empty aircraft allows it to carry more payload, or fly higher, faster and further. It also permits an increase in an aircraft’s endurance and performance. An aircraft must have enough self-sufficient power calculated through its energy, engine and propulsion (EEP). All three, along with weight, will

either dictate the possible size or be dictated by the necessary size of an aircraft. The aircraft must be able to physically and efficiently support its EEP. Recent strenuous efforts with eVTOL are providing the most clues to a future where the relationship of EEP within SWaP-c will be optimized. At least as far as our view on the future extends, it looks like we will continue to need EEP and SWaP-c considerations in any airborne vehicle for a long time to come. However, all bets are off if anything truly innovative emerges.
Contributors to the Evolution of Aircraft
Assuming a hollow cabin and excluding all things ‘EEP + airframe’, following are several major empty weight contributors to most business aircraft today: • • • • • •
Crew Equipment required for the comfort and safety of the crew Wiring and connectors Equipment required to fly and control the aircraft (non-avionics) Avionics Equipment required for the comfort and safety of the passengers.
These can be further broken out by Air Transport Association (ATA-100) Chapters widely used by aircraft manufacturers and maintainers today. Not surprisingly, it is easy to see where major evolutions of aircraft can either remove or re-invent these aspects that contribute to weight. There are however several very significant ‘global’ factors, outside of aircraft design, that will dictate what ultimately transpires, including: 100 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE

• • • • • • •
Safety How humans live, work and play Security of data and technology Discovery of new, relevant and effective technologies The environment and any major changes to Earth’s climate Resources and who controls them Major conflict that can change everything in an instant.
These can and will provide the overall direction of aviation in general and, by default, shape the future of how aircraft evolve. Further influences will determine other factors defining the narrower direction of aircraft and airspace design, including: • • • • • • •
Alternative EEP Acceptance of no-pilot flight Redundancy Reliability of ‘remote flight control’ Advanced lightweight materials The future air traffic control Cyber security.

Not reliant on single data sources (such as satellites) 10. Complex command and feedback algorithms. Regarding intended function and purpose, and apart from defense-related needs, aircraft generally fall into four major categories: • • • •
Carriage of cargo Carriage of people Public utility and emergency Enterprise.
For most of us the first three are easy to grasp, but the fourth is not. Enterprise is a huge part of the current purpose of unmanned aircraft, mostly small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). Because of their maneuverability and being economical to create, these flight craft have entered a multiplicity of functions that are industrial — hence enterprise. As we already know, our future aircraft will be a fusion of dynamic maneuverability, leveraging of fixed-wing, rotorcraft, eVTOL, quadcopter and other prime designs. It is clear function and purpose that will flexibly integrate operations in all four categories.
A Minimalist Approach to Future Business Aircraft
The possible evolution of the aircraft, as explained, should end up with a reduction or complete removal of: • • • • www.AVBUYER.com
Crew Equipment required for the comfort and safety of the crew Wiring and connectors Equipment required to fly and control the
• •
aircraft – non-avionics Avionics Equipment required for the comfort and safety of the passengers.
We will certainly witness fewer crew, and by default a reduced or deleted cockpit and all of the equipment necessary for the comfort and safety of the crew. By removing the need for avionics boxes and card cages, there will also be a dramatic reduction of wiring and connectors. While we will continue to use electro-mechanical devices to maneuver the aircraft, they will be directed differently. The need for any kind of cabin will be strictly dependent on the carriage of people or cargo/packages. As captured in Figure A (opposite top) we can see how almost the whole of our current business jet should evolve into something completely different than today. Despite a natural reluctance to change, any evolution will be gradual, occurring over a long period of time. We are already witnessing subtle movement in the general direction forecast. All motivated by the necessities that drive our future.
Achieving Avionics as Wi-Fi
As Elon Musk rushes to put into orbit his first 60 SpaceX Starlink internet satellites, he is pondering on the other 12,000 planned to provide a truly global internet. This will be competed with by others, including vehicles operating below the stratosphere. The thought of this can appear frightening, impacting astronomy and other space research, because of reflected glare, but this will be a major piece of the future aircraft puzzle.

efficiency, it becomes possible to complete most of the sensing and computing outside the aircraft. Apart from air data and geo-referencing, almost everything else ‘avionics’ can be accomplished externally. The end result is a complex word command to the aircraft that directs its precise dynamic movement in all phases of flight, as highlighted in Figure B (previous page). The future aircraft takes today’s familiar technologies to a new level by using the same basic principles of closed-loop feedback, use of transducers and low-latency transfer of data to electro-mechanical movement. The terrestrial pilot, and eventually artificially intelligent ‘pilot’, will be monitoring and acting as the final decision-maker. Note the path from pilot to no pilot: • • • • • • •
Two pilot business jet One pilot business jet (controlling the flight) One pilot business ‘jet’ (monitoring the flight) Terrestrial pilot (controlling the flight) Terrestrial pilot (monitoring the flight) AI monitoring Fully autonomous flying platform.
Through use of the internet, the need for both onboard avionics and pilots becomes less. So, providing all the pre-conditions of redundancy, latency, security and evolution of technology are met.
Redundancy and Encryption in Future Business Aircraft
Taking that amount of Wi-Fi coverage and not withstanding its potential vulnerability, our future aircraft may rely on dual-channel, redundant data 102 ❘ Vol 23 Issue 7 2019 ❘ AVBUYER MAGAZINE
transfer wherever and whenever it needs to. It will connect its central hub to the internet and then convert and wirelessly command flight instructions to hundreds of electro-mechanical transducers. These, in turn, will move control surfaces necessary to navigate the intended flight path. Figure C (above) demonstrates the structure of redundancy by using multiple, walled-off data streams to and from the aircraft. There are also multiple independent space and terrestrial datatransfer mechanisms. Along with the encryption of data, this creates a reliable and safe method of ensuring the continuation of any single flight.
In Summary
When you think of a future where everything is autonomous and aircraft are devoid of avionics and other airframe equipment, it is hard to visualize and even harder to believe. But if you map out what we have in our aircraft today and move it all forward in time, in lock-step with the revolution taking place outside of aviation, it becomes all the more obvious. Imagine not an aircraft, but a sphere . The sphere encloses a physical platform for its intended function. The outside of the sphere is an invisible barrier that surrounds the platform inside. This barrier is the exclusion zone that nothing else can penetrate. As long as the sphere is not compromised, it may move in any direction and up against any other sphere. The sphere will change in size based on speed and maneuvering (rate of change in a erodynamic performance). Its change in characteristic is immediately broadcast to all adjacent or predicted airspace intrusion spheres. How this sphere is created and maintained is a fascinating combination of technology and innovation, all to be outlined in the next article in this series. ❚ www.AVBUYER.com

A
fter successfully demonstrating steepapproach operations in 2018, the G650ER can now access challenging airports such as London City, which requires the certification due to its short runway and stringent noiseabatement requirements. The certification also opens access to Lugano (and similar airports) located in the mountainous region of Switzerland. Lugano’s short runway, situated in the mouth of a valley, requires an extremely steep approach. Today, the G650 family comprises more than 355 in-service aircraft and has achieved more than 90 city-pair speed records (including the fastest, longestrange business jet flight from Singapore
to Tucson, Arizona that beat the previous world record by 44 minutes). In related news, Gulfstream announced that its interior and industrial design teams earned International Yacht & Aviation Awards for the third consecutive year. The ‘Gulfstream G650ER Serenity and Style’ earned this year’s Private Jet Design award. The winning G650ER design incorporates horizontal-striped quilted seat inserts contrasted with natural gray agate countertops and ebony veneer cabinetry, along with plush mohair divans, silk-accented carpeting and embossed basket-weave and shagreen-patterned leather accents.

The already-low operating cost of the CJ1 was slashed to become the lowest operating cost of any comparable turboprop, and small upgrades on the engines and the increase of usable payload make a big difference. The CJ1+ is an extremely fuel-efficient private jet, burning an average of 132 gallons per hour, a fuel consumption slightly lower than the CJ1, even though the CJ1+ has a slightly higher payload than the original CJ1.
