When you purchase any pre-owned Falcon, you get a jet that’s renowned for unparalleled comfort, agility, efficiency and style. But when you buy a pre-owned Falcon from the people who designed, built and supported it, you get the added value of peace of mind.

Guest Editor’s VIEWPOINT

Jan Králík

Can Business Aviation Benefit From ‘Generation Y’? y first job was with a regional airline that operated a handful of classic Boeing 737s to coastal resorts. I will always remember the feeling of first being told to report to the operation for duty.

As a university student, finding a job in Commercial Aviation hadn’t been easy. In fact, that regional airline didn’t have to make a special effort to attract me. With genuine enthusiasm, I was reporting for duty day or night just to have the chance to schedule real airliners alongside a team of real aviation professionals!

Sleeping through the morning university lecture following a night-shift wasn’t uncommon. But still my academic results improved. It was a win-win solution.

While the remuneration wasn’t bad, that wasn’t the most important aspect of the job. What mattered was that I had begun a career I was passionate about, and started building an impressive CV. It was a few years later with an employer in the Business Aviation industry that I first had a chance to interview prospects for the operations team. Again, we didn’t have to make that much effort to attract the applicants. I observed the same enthusiasm from people who were mad about aviation and looking to break in on a career in aviation. It wasn’t easy to choose just one person.

M

What’s Different Today?

So, is it still the same today? Certainly not. I’ve heard many recent stories about hiring new staff. The common theme is that the younger generation is proving harder to attract, since they have many options available to them, along with a different set of priorities.

Moreover, once they join a company they are quickly seeking to leave for something else. But is it really that difficult to attract, engage, and keep the newer generation?

Working with people naturally brings challenges, and people management is a difficult – but crucial – task for every boss. It is mostly the staff that build the company product and reputation, and team spirit that drives a company forward, so retaining them deserves a good portion of our attention.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

We know that the job expectations of ‘Generation Y’ are high. But this is also a generation that has a lot to offer. With new ideas and a sense for innovation and effectiveness there is definitely a need and a place for them within our industry.

At a time we are hearing much about looming staff shortages it is essential for those leading the industry to understand this new generation and learn how to manage and engage them. We may need to change our expectations from our interviews with them, and instead of looking for the ready-made fit for the team, look to their raw innovation.

“ The common theme is that the younger generation is proving harder to attract, since they have many options available to them, along with a different set of priorities.”

It could certainly be said that Generation Y is less patient, seeking faster progress into managerial positions. That means that some within Business Aviation are going to need to become savvy in how they provide opportunity to progress, rewarding innovation brought by this new generation of employees.

Business Aviation is certainly an interesting environment, but it’s never without its challenges. And with the challenges the upcoming Generation Z will certainly bring once we’ve got to grips with Generation Y, we’re all going to need to continue to be creative in this industry!

Business Aviation Market Overview

As Year-End approaches, and with NBAA-BACE in the rear-view mirror, Rolland Vincent, Editor, Market Indicators, assesses the key issues on the horizon for the Business Aviation marketplace… resh off another crazy-busy NBAA-BACE (and no, I am still not yet comfortable with calling it BACE), Business Aviation industry professionals are knee-deep in year-end paperwork and the mad dash to the December 31 deadline to get transactions recorded before the little window closes at the FAA Aircraft Registry Office in Oklahoma City.

Although we should all be thankful for the early October 2018 law that reauthorizes the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for five years, we might ask ourselves what happened on the way to where we are today…

With countless “riders” and almost never-tobe-read provisions that filled 1,186 pages of legalese, the ATSDRRR was born.

industry, the Aviation, Transportation Safety, and Disaster Recovery Reforms and Reauthorization Act (or simply H.R. 302) includes a bevy of provisions that few (if any) legislators had the time or inclination to read before voting to support it.

Some of the good news, almost lost in the mounds of paper, are important provisions authorizing the FAA to certify new civil supersonic aircraft with low sonic boom signatures, and protections to keep the lights turned on, the employees well fed and paid, and – most importantly – the now-famous window open at the FAA Aircraft Registry Office in OKC. Now, at long last, aircraft transactions specialists, their legal and aircraft title teams, and associated professionals can sleep easy, knowing that their paperwork is getting processed.

EMBRAER PRAETOR 600

OEMs Stepping-Up

The manufacturers that design, build, sell and support business aircraft anchored every corner of the vast Orange County Convention Center and aircraft static display in Orlando last month, with no shortage of enthusiasm, investment and announcements.

True to form, Embraer took the wrapping off some important improvements to its clean-sheet mid-size and super midsize offerings, adding additional range and cabin accoutrements that provide even more value for the dollar – or is that reais – than customers have already come to expect from the company.

Bombardier touted the newly-certified Global 7500 and brethren Global 6500 and 5500 as the crown jewels of an organization that has clearly been busy doing its homework and is once again running in the industry fast-lane.

Pilatus continues to ramp-up production rates on its popular PC-24 twin jet, with an order book that looks solid for years to come.

A Cold War for Talent…

With all of the enthusiasm and optimism in Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

evidence during NBAA-BACE, signs and sounds of rumblings in the sky were not too hard to discern.

The shortage of young talent – pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and other aviation professionals, is no longer a topic for theoretical debate.

Call it a Cold War for talent, but there is no doubt that organizations across the industry are dealing with pressures to increase wages and benefits just to retain the people they already have.

With Airbus and Boeing locked in a duopolistic battle that will soon spin off four new narrow-body jets a day into the worldwide market, business aircraft owners and operators should know that they will need to be wise, creative, and generous if they want to keep their people employed for long.

With the looming mid-term US federal elections, jittery stock markets, Brexit backflips, and the now all-too-common trade barbs between countries where previously there were few, the news headlines of the day continue to distract business leaders’ attention away from investing in their businesses and people.

Money is still cheap, the markets are still strong, life is still short, and opportunities never, ever wait around for long. For those leaders with access to a business aircraft, the times are good to seize the opportunities, before somebody else does.

In November 2018, what time is it? It’s time to buy an airplane. Time to call the Flight Department. Time to get the pre-flight checks underway. It’s time to build a legacy…

Private Jets ‘Will be Affordable for Millions’

Has Pilot Shortage Hit Used Aircraft Market?

The growing, worldwide pilot shortage is affecting virtually every segment of the aviation industry, and reports coming from the UK suggest the used aircraft market is feeling the squeeze, according to Colibri Aircraft…

Colibri Aircraft recently noted a huge shortage of pilots in the European private jet sector is resulting in owners increasingly not being able to use their aircraft when they need to. According to Colibri managing director Oliver Stone, this problem will get worse as airlines are retiring current pilots and recruiting from the private jet sector while growing markets in Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere are attracting more European pilots.

According to Colibri Aircraft, seven in 10 sales it works on encounter difficulties in being able to guarantee sufficient access to a pilot or crew. Five years ago, only around 20% of cases the company worked on were affected by this problem.

“Europe needs around 95,000 new commercial pilots by 2034, and many airlines are looking to the Business Aviation sector to help fill this gap, leaving fewer pilots available to fly

private aircraft,” Stone explains.

“The pilot shortfall is a combination of several factors including the legal retirement age for pilots being set at 65, Oliver Stone and growing demand for pilots from overseas markets – especially Asia and the Middle East.

“We are increasingly having to research in the early stages of an acquisition as to how clients plan to crew their aircraft. If they decide to only hire one full-time pilot and rely on contract crew, they increasingly run the risk of not having crew available when they want to fly.”

Colibri Aircraft believes the easiest solution for an owner is to pay a higher monthly cost to have three full-time pilots available when they want to fly.

Another option is to consider an operator who already has crew on their certificate that they can use.

MI www.colibriaircraft.com

New research amongst Business Aviation professionals suggests advances in technology will make private jet flying much cheaper and easier. The research, commissioned by Revolution.Aero predicts millions more people will start using business aircraft for the first time…

The average typical private jet customer is over 50, the research notes, but 71% of those interviewed believe by 2023 it will be below this, with 59% believing it will be between 40 and 50. A further 11% think it will be below 40, while only one in five predict the average age will remain at over 50.

Just over two-thirds of those Business Aviation professionals polled (67%) believe advances in technology and apps will make it easier to book individual seats on private jets, and over half (51%) also think these developments will make it easier to charter out private jet ‘dead legs’. As many as one-in-four private aircraft flying at any one time today have no passengers on board, and only 12% of those interviewed predict that the number of dead-leg flights being chartered out will fall.

“As many as one-in-four private aircraft flying at any one time today have no passengers on board...”

“Ten years ago there were maybe five apps focusing on the Business Aviation sector, compared to more than 50 now,” Alasdair Whyte, co-founder, Revolution.Aero notes. “Some 84% of Business Aviation professionals expect there to be even more private jet apps on the market by 2023, with one in three expecting significantly more.

“In this data and technology revolution, there is so much more that can be done to enable owners of business aircraft to make their assets more accessible to potential customers, further enhancing the income (or contribution to costs) they earn from them. This coupled with the greater flexibility in how business aircraft can be chartered will open up business jet travel for many more people.”

Jetcraft: Next Ten Years to Outpace Previous Decade

Jetcraft released its fourth annual Ten-Year Business Aviation Market Forecast, which reaffirms steady growth in the private jet industry is set to continue…

The forecast predicts 8,736 unit deliveries over the next 10 years, representing $271bn in revenues (based on 2018 pricing). North America will account for 60% (5,241) of predicted new unit deliveries over the forecast period, with Europe accounting for 18% (1,572), and AsiaPacific 13% (1,136).

“2018 has been a real turning point for Business Aviation, as we have now successfully navigated through our industry’s most difficult period,” Jahid Fazal-Karim, Owner and Chairman of the Board, Jetcraft, notes. “This year’s forecast predicts the continuation of our current business cycle of steady and healthy growth, driven by an increase in wealth creation and the demand for larger and more expensive aircraft.”

Growing Exposure to BizAv

The increase in wealth creation over the past decade has spurred growth in family offices that are now offering a wide variety of specialized services, including Business Aviation. Together with the increase in block charter and fractional programs, this is exposing more UHNWIs to the industry than ever before.

However, despite continued economic growth, Fortune 500 24

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

companies have yet to return to historical aircraft transaction levels, due to maintaining a focus on other financial priorities, such as share buybacks and paying down debt. This customer segment is unlikely to restart aircraft purchasing programs until well into the cycle.

Large Jets to Lead the way

The forecast predicts that the Large jet category (comprising Super-Large, Ultra-Long-Range and converted airline segments) will constitute 32% of total units (2,778) and 64% of total revenue over the next decade. All new aircraft model programs, both announced and projected, during the forecast period are exclusively widebodies.

“Predicted unit deliveries in the Large jet category account for a huge proportion of total revenues in the industry, demonstrating the trend towards larger, long-range aircraft to support today’s global business needs,” Fazal-Karim adds.

While the industry is set to embark on a period of substantial growth, its resilience during the challenges of the previous business cycle has prepared it well for expansion. “We’re confident that the lessons we’ve learned over the past decade will ensure sustainable growth for Business Aviation in the years to come. Ours is an enduring industry, and one with a buoyant future ahead,” Fazal-Karim concludes.

The Most Competitive Aerospace Business Environments…

The states of Washington, Ohio, North Carolina, Kansas and Colorado offer the most competitive business environments for the manufacture of aerospace equipment, notes Teal Group…

Washington, in particular, scored extremely well across all categories and was a top ten finisher in all but one, ranking first in Economy and Industry, while finishing second in Labor & Education and Costs. It ranked fifth in Risk to Operations, Research & Innovation and Taxes & Incentives.

Infrastructure was the only category where Washington fell outside the top ten.

Ohio had the second highest overall rank, with significant separation between it and the state of Washington. In fact, Ohio finished in the top ten in only two categories (Labor & Education and Industry). It did finish in the second ten in a number of categories, however, thereby reinforcing its overall strong showing.

North Carolina finished first in the most important and highest weighted category, Costs and had very strong rankings with two other top ten finishes in Taxes & Incentives and Industry.

Kansas, by comparison found top ten category rankings for Industry, Labor & Education and Costs. Kansas was a poor performer in Risk to Operations, coming in at number fifty.

Fifth-placed Colorado was particularly strong in Research & Innovation, Labor & Education and Taxes & Incentives, having top ten finishes in these three categories, but did not score well in the important Costs category. The remaining top ten is rounded out by Georgia, Utah, Texas, Arizona and Alabama.

Asset Insight’s market analysis on September 28, 2018 covering 93 fixed-wing models and 1,553 aircraft listed ‘For Sale’ revealed an additional 2.4% decrease to the tracked inventory fleet (39 units).

Here are the details…

Tracked Large, Medium and Small jet inventories decreased 4.7%, 4.2% and 1.3%, respectively, while Turboprops listed ‘For Sale’ increased by 1.4%. Entering Q4 2018, sellers appear to be more focused on moving their aircraft, with Ask Price dropping 5% at the end of September.

With asset quality improving, average Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated/embedded maintenance expense) decreased (improved) 4.8% to $1.385m as the inventory fleet’s upcoming maintenance events are expected to be less expensive.

Maintenance Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio

The ETP Ratio (Table B) is a useful indicator of an aircraft’s marketability, 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% and, during Q3 2018, assets whose ETP Ratio was 40% or more were listed ‘For Sale’ nearly 34% longer (on average) than aircraft whose Ratio was below 40% (i.e. 280 versus 374 Days on Market).

The September analysis also revealed that 48.8% of all tracked models and 57.6% of Asset Insight’s fleet posted an ETP Ratio above 40%.

The tracked fleet’s ETP Ratio recorded a substantial decrease (improvement) in September, following five consecutive monthly increases. It registered 67.1% (versus August’s record-worst 72.3%).

Large and Medium jet transactions were primarily centered on higher quality assets.

Small jet trades appeared to be of mixed asset quality.

Turboprop inventory improved, relative to asset quality, with lower-rated units trading and higher quality assets entering the inventory.

The ‘For Sale’ changes resulted in Maintenance Exposure worsening for Large jets, remaining steady for Medium jets, and improving for Small jets and Turboprops.

Turboprops accounted for the lowest (best) ETP Ratio at 50.1%; Large jets followed at 64.2% (the group’s record-worst Ratio); Small jets came in at 68.3% (reflecting a nearly 19% improvement over last month, along with the group’s best 12-month figure); and Medium jets improved slightly to 78%.

Scale -2.500 to 10.000

Asset Insight September Market Summary Inventory aircraft quality registered a 1.3% improvement during September, and 1.9% during Q3.

This may not sound like much, but when one considers the overall Ask Price reduction, the market is primed for an excellent Q4.

However, not all models fared as well, and buyers not conducting detailed analytics before making an offer are liable to ‘pay the price’. Sellers must equally learn how their aircraft compares with assets listed ‘For Sale’ that, in some cases, will include different make/model aircraft than the one they’re selling.

Large Jets

Inventory decreased by 16 units, lowering asset quality and increasing Maintenance Exposure 4.9% as higher quality aircraft transacted. At 5.392, the group maintained its ‘Excellent’ Quality Rating, even though

Maintenance Exposure hit a 12-month high (worst) figure and boosted the ETP Ratio to a record-high (worst) 64.2%.

Based on the limited availability facing buyers, detailed analytics (and not patience) will be key for those seeking to close a deal before year-end.

Medium Jets

The tracked fleet’s inventory decreased by another 21 units with transactions slightly favoring higher quality aircraft. The group’s Quality Rating decreased 1.6%, safely within the ‘Very Good’ range, while Maintenance Exposure remained unchanged.

The Ask Price increased 2.2%, although September’s figure was just above August’s 12-month low. The ETP Ratio decreased slightly, but at 78% the figure will likely make it difficult for most sellers to obtain a reasonable offer for their aircraft.

BUYING & SELLING OWNERSHIP

How Should Aircraft Buyers and Sellers Act Today?

Sifting through the industry hype, Jet Tolbert makes sense of the used jet marketplace as we move into Q4 2018.

Are buyers or sellers justified in their expectations?

Or is reality found somewhere in between…?

T

here are many buzzwords being liberally banded around the Business Aviation sales arena at present. Terms like ‘100% bonus depreciation’, ‘active market’, ‘low inventory’, ‘strong economy’ and ‘strong dollar’ are all commonly heard.

I could, of course, list many more that describe a used aircraft marketplace in which good quality jets and turboprops are getting scarce and buyers are abundant. But given all of the hype, are sellers Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

making a sincere effort to make buyers aware that the opportunity available to them is limited as a result of competition from other buyers?

Or are they trying to leverage these oft-heard buzzwords to hype the sale of their jet, and squeeze as much out of the buyer as possible?

From where I’m sitting, the answer is ‘both’. The clichés that sellers throw around might seem like a ha rd sell, but genuine buyers are finding there’s plenty of competition for a purchase, forcing them to

either step up and meet a seller’s expectation, or stand-by while other buyers make strong cash offers, risking their own opportunity to purchase.

In years past, buyers were looking to purchase aircraft at tomorrow’s prices while sellers held out for yesterday’s values. Today the roles have reversed and there are even some instances in which sellers expect to achieve a sale price that is b eyond what the market will bear.

that can be considered ‘strong’ in today’s market, you will more likely find a large majority of buyers level-off in the same general pricing area.

That’s not to deny that there are still the ‘one-off’ sales that occur - but waiting for an offer of this calibre can be a gamble when you consider the impact of depreciation and maintenance costs that occur to your aircraft in the meantime.

What This Means to Buyers

Today, possibly more than ever before, it’s important to trust your counterparty when contemplating an aircraft transaction. Considering how many different sellers there are in the market, the better option would be to have a well-established, experienced broker for your acquisition agent who has deep connections. This inside track will build value into the process as those deep relationships are leveraged, and their market knowledge is used to your advantage.

In the current market, getting the best airplane at the best price and not missing an opportunity is a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and most importantly having the wherewithal to know when you are there… T

Now, more than any other time in recent market history, buyers need to be in tune with the sellers on the market. This is ultimately achieved either by having a close and honest relationship with the seller’s representative or hiring an acquisitions agent who is very well attuned to the market.

If you select an acquisition agent, you should ensure the relationship allows for an open flow of information about recent market activity and that you trust their perception of the market.

An inside track on recent market activity will prove invaluable to help ensure you do not pay an unrealistic seller what they are asking, or lose out on a good acquisition to another buyer who is willing to pay that little bit more.

What This Means to Sellers

Alternatively, if you are a seller, there is much to be said about ‘cash-in-hand’ offers. No one is truly able to predict the future value of your aircraft, so an offer received today may be the best you receive - and is worth your consideration.

While it is true that premium aircraft will see offers 36

What’s the Case for Becoming a Jet’s Last Owner?

One option for a specialized aircraft buyer is the (much) older business aircraft, note David Wyndham and Jim Sellers. But this is a process that requires careful planning and management. How does an operator justify the decision to buy with a view to becoming an aircraft’s last owner? s aircraft age, they cost more to maintain and support. Spare parts for aging aircraft can be harder to come by as fewer of these models remain in service today and the OEMs shift focus to their in-production aircraft.

Parts suppliers may ‘build to order’ certain spares when demand levels no longer justify keeping a production line running. Be aware that the cost of these spares can fluctuate greatly as th e effects of

A

supply and demand take hold. Finding airworthy used spares is often only possible if there were enough aircraft built for salvage companies to tear down and use as sources.

These incremental maintenance costs and procurement hurdles can render an old aircraft unsuitable for a regular schedule of frequent flying.

Nevertheless, for the savvy buyer with specific needs and managed expectations, th ere may be some value left in these airworthy but aged aircraft.

“As it pertains to an aircraft or engine, the economic useful life is the period of time over which it is (or is expected to be) physically and economically feasible to operate in its intended role. Periodic maintenance and repair will usually be required in order to preserve safety and efficiency during the economic useful life.”

This age is contextual. An airliner flying 2,000– 3,000 hours per year in short-haul trips will reach its end of life much sooner than a long-range business jet flying 300–400 hours annually. For a piston airplane flying 100 hours per year, its end-of-life can easily extend past a half-century. Age is a factor of calendar time and utilization, or flight time.

Research from Boeing Commercial Airplanes published in an article titled ‘Key Findings on Aircraft Economic Life’ (March 2013) found that while no exact definition exists, their data on over 31,000 airliners suggest that this economic life can be expressed in two general ways: •

How Old is too Old?

If an aircraft is well cared for, it can have an almost unlimited life with respect to safety and airworthiness.

There are DC-3 aircraft that were in service in the late 1930s still flying today. While not much more than the pilots’ control wheels and OEM’s data plate may be “original equipment”, they are still airborne.

Such aircraft are in the hands of loving and dedicated teams who fly for the joy of keeping them flying, not for transportation or business use.

What ends the life of most aircraft is economics— when the cost of flying them becomes more than the cost of replacing them. This is called the economic useful life, which is defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT) as follows: Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

•

The average age of airplanes when they are permanently withdrawn from service; The interval of time between delivery of a cohort of airplanes and the date when 50% (or some other fraction) of the cohort has been retired.

But what is a typical useful economic life for a business jet?

Data from JETNET showing the business jet retirements from 2011 to 2015 notes that 144 business jets retire each year on average. The vast majority of these are over 30 years of age.

Meanwhile, AMSTAT data shows that today, of the more than 7,300 business jets built before 1998, about 46% of the fleet has been removed from service. This data suggests the useful economic life for a business jet is just over 30 years.

“You buy a very old business jet for $2m, spending $3.5m operating it for four years, before selling it for salvage at $500k. The net cost to you is $5m. The owner of a new business jet that paid $30m, meanwhile, will see more than that in market depreciation alone.”

When Does an Aircraft Reach Salvage?

An aircraft at the end of its useful economic life can be sold for parts for salvage or scrap value. The Machinery & Technical Specialties Committee of the American Society of Appraisers (July 2010) defines scrap, or salvage, value as follows: “An opinion of the amount, expressed in terms of money that could be realized for the property if it were sold for its material content, not for a productive use, as of a specific date.”

So, when does the scrap or salvage value of an aircraft exceed its ‘retail’ value as a flying asset?

If the maintenance to be done exceeds the retail value of the aircraft and, if accomplished, does not return enough retail value to cover the cost of the maintenance, then your aircraft is at salvage. In summary, an aircraft would reach salvage when the upcoming maintenance costs exceed the value of the airplane. That can be any maintenance, be it airframe, engines or avionics.

In Conclusion…

Combining all the above information leads to the following conclusion: If you are the owner of an airworthy aircraft aged 25 years or older, you could be its final owner.

Nevertheless, there may be aircraft younger 42

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

than 25 that, owing to limited production runs and a lack of product support, will not be economically feasible to fly for much longer than a few years.

Meanwhile, for some of the more popular aircraft with a long production run, you may see 40-yearold aircraft still in the air in sufficient numbers to make supporting them economically feasible.

So why would anyone want to become the last owner of a business jet?

If you understand the limitations, your value proposition is likely to be something like this: You buy a very old business jet for $2m, spending $3.5m operating it for four years, before selling it for salvage at $500k. The net cost to you is $5m. The owner of a new business jet that paid $30m, meanwhile, will see more than that in market depreciation alone.

However keep in mind that these older jets spend a lot of time in maintenance and there is a higher chance that you will not be able to “call when needed”, but if your flying needs are infrequent and predictable, you may find there is enough value left in these older jets to make the case for buying one.

Next month, we will illustrate with a case study.

What’s a Business Aircraft’s Scrap Value Today?

How much can business jet and turboprop operators expect to get for their retired aircraft? And what drives a decision to scrap an aircraft? Dave Higdon considers these questions for when an aircraft reaches the end of its useful life… n acquaintance of mine acquired an old (early 1970s) business jet many years ago with thoughts of restoring it to service and selling it as an operational, airworthy aircraft. Then came the Great Recession. Only this summer did my acquaintance find a salvage company willing to take that Light jet off his hands.

His struggle involved finding an MRO shop familiar enough with the aircraft type to dismantle it into its component parts without damaging them and rendering them scrap metal instead of yellowtag-eligible spare parts for resale.

The buyer cares about the condition of those salvageable parts because outside the US the model continues to be utilized in roles where age, beauty and noise levels aren't deal-breakers.

A 46

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

Bad timing killed my acquaintance's prospects on this jet. The salvage company, however, stands to do well, given the price paid for the little jet and the sum value of its salvageable parts. A landing gear strut, perhaps; an engine carry-through spar, perchance; maybe a tip tank or a whole wing, aileron, flap – or even some of the electronics and panel instruments that can slide into slots in another cockpit.

“I'm satisfied with what I'm being paid because it ends years of tie-down and hangar fees, liability insurance and enough hull insurance to protect me in case a tornado swept the jet away,” my acquaintance told me. “But the guy buying the jet seemed happy too, which tells me he already knows he'll make money, even after the labor of pulling and inspecting the salvageable parts.”

“And multiple elements play into determining an aircraft's salvage value, among them relevance and popularity...”

Aged Out Before Wearing Out

New Factors Pushing Aircraft Retirements

Between the mandate for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and the approaching economically damning Airworthiness Directive on a series of engines powering hundreds of jets, analysts expect a surge in aircraft retirements starting next year.

Some operators saw the writing on the wall months or even years ago and disposed of their jets before their values fell for lack of ADS-B solutions or an economically-sound solution to the engine issues.

But what is an airworthy business aircraft facing obsolescence worth today as a valuable salvage item? While only an experienced salvage business can render an estimate for a specific airplane of a specific age, many factors go into determining a salvage value, and key among them is knowing what drives the retirement.

Many elements factor into a retirement decision.

And multiple elements play into determining an aircraft's salvage value, among them relevance and popularity, as we’ll discover…

Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

Thanks to a vast difference in utilization practices, business aircraft tend to fly many years longer than airliners. Business aircraft average use runs in the range of 350-500 hours annually, varying due to factors specific to the operator, whereas airliner average use runs between 1,500-2,000 hours, with a couple of months down for progressively more in-depth inspections.

It's flight cycles that factor most in assessing an aircraft's life expectancy. A pressurized jet or turboprop experiences one pressurization cycle per flight, whether the flight lasts one hour or 15.

Pressurization cycles swell the fuselage.

That swelling, along with the concomitant shrinkage back to normal (the effects of exposure to extreme cold) are the collective sources of the metal fatigue that most threatens the structural integrity of an airframe.

Most OEMs set a number of flight cycles by which an airplane must endure the most invasive and detailed inspection, or retire. Airliners can easily reach their flight-cycle limits in 30 years or less. But it's not unheard of to find a business jet still flying for its operator 40, perhaps 50 years after emerging from the factory.

Comply or Retire?

The opening question holds more relevance than usual today, largely due to that well-publicized January 1, 2020 ADS-B compliance mandate. For some business aircraft operators, the cost of compliance may exceed the value of the airworthy aircraft.

The clock is running on all aircraft, but for some jets dating back to the cathode ray-tube (CRT) era the clock will time out on January 1, 2020. This makes understanding the elements of a salvage valuation an important step in planning for its future. 

OWNERSHIP T RETIREMENT

Finding a compliance solution gets more difficult with increasing aircraft age – at least for aircraft older than 10 years before the FAA published its final ADS-B rule.

In addition to an ADS-B Out transponder – a 1090 MHz Extended Squitter type since the aircraft flies above 18,000 feet msl – an ADS-B solution requires an approved position source. The final rule specifies only the performance level the position source must meet, not the technology to use. But economics helped drive most solutions toward a GPS position source enhanced by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS).

The WAAS GPS solution with the most utility comes in the form of either a WAAS GPS navigator or a flight management system employing a WAAS GPS engine for its navigation function. Ring Laser Gyro position sources meet the performance standard required by the FAA and international standards, but WAAS GPS is far less expensive – and offers the added benefit of GPS-guided approaches.

Blind WAAS GPS position sources can also fulfill the need for ADS-B Out, a solution lower in cost than the navigator, but lacking the utility of being a navigator.

Rotables Obsolescence

It's no secret that some of the earliest jet and turboprop powerplants carry hefty overhaul costs,

48

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

even by the standards of their day. But as the aircraft's value declines and overhaul prices at best stay the same, or more likely increase, a time comes when the lines cross.

When the cost of powerplant overhaul exceeds the decline in aircraft value two options emerge.

Several third-party companies have invested in STCs to upgrade older-aircraft powerplants with newer engines, offering lower operating and overhaul costs, plus long-term benefits of higher performance and improved fuel efficiency.

An FAA airworthiness directive (AD) applied against a certain series of Honeywell TFE731 engines threatens the long-term outlook for a significant number of older Dassault Falcons, Hawkers and Cessna Citations not currently enrolled in hourly engine programs, warns Engine Assurance Program (EAP), a Dallas-based hourly maintenance specialist. The AD requires replacement of the LPT1 rotor assembly on certain TFE731-4 and -5 engines by 2020.

EAP estimates that with an average aircraft value of about $800k for many of the affected models, the expected cost of ADS-B compliance (~$90k) combined with a per-engine AD compliance cost of $325k puts the cost of keeping those planes flying after 2020 at about $740k – with little hope of recovering those costs in a later sale.

“Either way, serviceable airframe parts help push up a retired airframe’s value – especially for out-of-production aircraft.” powerplant AD and the ADS-B mandate could prompt the retirement of up to 20% of those models' fleets, EAP predicts. Beyond the prospect of retirement, the only remaining choices are overhaul or sourcing lower-time engines.

The same challenges face other important components on those older aircraft – components aged out by the calendar, obsolete technologically, or unobtainable save cannibalizing another aircraft.

Autopilot servos or drivers, pressurization valves or landing gear – all parts become scarcer with time and, thus, more expensive.

Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) used in the original glass cockpits provide an apt example. Heavy, hotrunning and power hungry, CRTs – television tubes sized for the cockpit – reached their zenith more than a decade ago when solid-state display screens began taking over.

Today, unless a CRT glass cockpit has a flatpanel STC available, locating a serviceable replacement CRT or retirement are the only options available to operators.

Salvage Valuation Factors

Age and flight cycles may be less important for the parts a scrapped aircraft delivers. If the active fleet numbers in the hundreds, for example, and the aircraft is out of production the salvage value of engines, avionics and many airframe parts will

50

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

support a good value for the scrapped aircraft.

Conversely, if competitively priced STC’d upgrades are available for that aircraft fleet, the salvage value of engines and avionics may well run lower. Either way, serviceable airframe parts help push up a retired airframe’s value – especially for out-of-production aircraft.

But for an aircraft aged over 40, out of production, and with only a small percentage of the original fleet still flying, the salvage value may render little more than the scrap value of the materials that comprise the airplane – the aluminum, steel, copper, rubber and other materials.

Old radios will render scrap value, the same as for analog instruments and autopilot controllers and servos. There is, however, some market for refurbishing and reusing interior components in other aircraft.

Ultimately, it’s the yard which invests in salvaging components that will drive the value of the retired aircraft.

For the owner it's a matter of shopping for the best deal possible for the aircraft in question with a realistic understanding and expectation of their specific model.

The value could vary as widely as the number of makes and models and the existing fleet still flying.

Shop around. T

Entry-Level & Light Jets Are you Seeking Flexibility at a Lower Cost Level?

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. 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 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

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 - Entry-Level & 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.

Variable Cost Per Hour Includes fuel, maintenance reserves for routine maintenance, engine/ propeller/APU reserves, and miscellaneous expenses.

Specifications - General Cabin Dimensions Cabin Height, Width, and Length are based on a compl eted 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. C abin Door Height and Width are the measurements of the main passenger cabin entry door.

Landing Weight are specified during aircraft certification.

Basic Operating Weight is the empty weight, typically equipped, plus unusable fuel and liquids, flight crew @ 200 pounds each an d their supplies.

Useable fuel is the useable fuel in gallons x 6.7 pounds per gallon (Jet fuel) or 6 pounds per gallon (AVGAS).

Payload with Full Fuel is the useful load minus the useable fuel. The useful load is based on the maximum ramp weight minus the basic operating weight.

Maximum Payload is the maximum zero fuel weight minus the basic operating weight.

Crew Seats/Seats Executive This is the typical crew and passenger seating commo nly 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.).

Specifications Performance Range: • Rang e (4 Pax) - The maximum IFR range of the aircraft with four 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.

• 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.

• VFR Range - Seats Full is the maximum VFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters and piston fixed-wing aircraft.

• VFR Ferry Range - is the maximum VFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters and piston fixedwing aircr aft.

Weights: • Maximum Take-Off Weight and Maximum

Balanced Field Length BFL is the distance obtained by determining the

Baggage Internal baggage volume is the baggage volume that is accessible in flight by the passenger. This amount may vary with the interior layout. External baggage volume is the baggage volume not accessible in flight (nacelle lockers, etc.).

decision speed (V1) at which the take-off distance and the accelerate-stop distance are equal (fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft only). This is based on four passengers and maximum fuel on board (turbine aircraft). For single-engine and all piston fixed-wing aircraft, this distance represents the take-off field length at Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW).

Landing Distance (Factored) For fixed-wing turbine aircraft, landing distance is computed using FAR 121 criteria. This takes the landing distance from 50/35 feet (depends on certification criteria) and multiplies that by a factor of 1.667. No credit is given for thrust reversers. Configuration is with four passengers and NBAA IFR Fuel Reserve on board. For fixedwing piston aircraft, this figure is the landing distance over a 50 foot obstacle.

Rate of Climb (Ft/Min) The rate of climb, given in feet per minute, is for all engines operating, at MTOW, ISA conditions.

One Engine Out rate of climb is for one engine inoperative rate of climb at MTOW, ISA. 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.

Normal cruise speed is the recommended cruise speed established by the manufacturer.

This speed may also be the same as Maximum Cruise Speed. Long Range Cruise is the manufacturer’s recommended cruise speed for maximum range.

Engines The number of engines, manufacturer and model are shown.

Bombardier Challenger 650

Dassault Falcon 2000LXS

Aircraft Comparative Analysis Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Dassault Falcon 2000LXS In this month’s Jets Comparison, Mike Chase provides information on a pair of in-production business jets.

How does the Bombardier Challenger 650 compare with the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS? ollowing, we will consider the productivity parameters (payload/range, speed and cabin size) and cover current market values with the aim of placing the Bombardier Challenger 650 in the market.

The Challenger 650 is a derivative of the Challenger 605 and was introduced in 2014 with two GE CF34-3B MTO engines that deliver a higher thrust rate (an extra 5% over the previous Challenger 605 model that utilized a pair of PW308C engines). These new powerplants also reduce the take-off field length required.

According to JETNET data, by September 2018 a total of 76 Challenger 650 aircraft had been built, with 74 in operation globally and two in the factory

awaiting delivery. Of those, 55 are wholly-owned and 19 are in fractional ownership.

By continent, North America is home to the largest fleet percentage (56%), followed by Europe (25%) and Asia (13%), accounting for a combined 94% of the global fleet. Just over half (53%) of the Challenger 650s in operation today are in fleet ownership with the largest operator being NetJets, with 19 aircraft.

As of September 2018, the Challenger 650 market is comprised of 97% new versus 3% used. The fleet percentage for sale on the used jet market is 2.7% with an average of 75 days on the market.

As a relatively new aircraft model, all 74 Challenger 650 business jets in operation worldwide are ADS-B Out equipped.

Chart B - Range Comparison

Challenger 650 Falcon 2000LXS

4,123nm (w/4Pax) 4,151nm (w/4Pax)

As we have mentioned in past articles, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. As displayed in Table A (left), the Challenger 650 ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ (1,298lbs) is less than that offered by the Falcon 2000LXS (1,590lbs).

Cabin Cross-Section Views

Chart A (middle, left) shows a cabin cross-section comparison, illustrating that the Challenger 650 offers greater width (8.17ft) than the Falcon 2000LXS (7.7ft).

However, the height of the Challenger 650 (6.08ft) is less than the Falcon 2000LXS’s 6.2ft.

The Challenger 650 cabin length is shorter, at 28.4ft, compared to the Falcon 2000LXS (31.2ft). Overall, the Challenger 650 has a larger cabin volume at 1,146cu. ft. compared to the Falcon 2000LXS (1,028cu. ft.), which is 11.5% greater.

The Challenger 650 has 11 5cu. ft. of internal and no external (e.g. hold) baggage space, while the Falcon 2000LXS has 131cu. ft. of internal baggage space and no external baggage space. The typical seating configuration for both business jets is for 10 passengers and two crew.

Range Comparison

As depicted by Chart B (bottom, left) using Wichita, Kansas as the origin point, the Challenger 650 (4,123nm) shows marginally less range coverage than the Falcon 2000LXS (4,151nm).

Note: For business jets, ‘four passengers with available fuel’ represents the maximum IFR range of the aircraft at LongRange Cruise with four passenger seats occupied.

NBAA IFR fuel reserve calculation for a 200nm alternate is assumed. The lines depicted do not include winds aloft or any other weather-related obstacles.

Powerplant Details

As mentioned, the Challenger 650 is powered by two General

Aircraft that are owned and operated by businesses are often depreciable for income tax purposes – in the US this comes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).

Under MACRS, taxpayers are allowed to 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 straight-line method, meaning that equal deductions are taken during each year of the applicab le 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 seven-year 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 sixyear recovery period. There are certain uses of the aircraft, such as non-business flights, that may have an impact on the allowable depreciation dedu ction 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 Aircraft Index see Page 129

Asking Prices & Quantity

The current used market for the Bombardier Challenger 650 aircraft shows a total of two aircraft ‘For Sale’, both with ‘Make Offer’ invitations (as of the end of September 2018). The same is the case for the Falcon 2000LXS. While each serial number is unique, the Airframe (AFTT) hours and age/condition will cause great variations in price. Of course, the final negotiated price remains to be decided between the seller and buyer before the sale of an aircraft is completed.

This 100% expensing provision is a huge bonus for aircraft owners and operators. After December 31, 2022 the Act decreases the percentage available each year by 20% to depreciate qualified business jets until December 31, 2026.

Index (Speed x Range x Cabin Volume / 1,000,000,000)

requires further discussion in that the factors used can be somewhat arbitrary. Productivity can be defined (and it is here) as the multiple of three factors: 1. Four/Eight Passenger Range (nm) with available fuel; 2. The long-range cruise speed flown to achieve that range; 3. The gross cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

Others may choose different parame ters, but serious business aircraft buyers are usually impressed with Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size.

After consideration of the Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size, we can conclude that the Challenger 650 displays a relatively high level of productivity.

Priced at $32.35m new ($2.75m less than a new Falcon 2000LXS jet), the Challenger 650 has more than 10% higher cabin volume. However, the Falcon 2000LXS has a greater ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ number and slightly greater range capability.

Overall, these two aircraft are well matched, and operators should weigh up their mission requirements precisely when picking which option is the best for them.

In Summary

Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the attributes that business aircraft operators value. There are of course other qualities such as runway performance, terminal area performance, and time to climb that might factor in a buying decision.

Both the Bombardier Challenger 650 and Dassault Falcon 2000LXS will continue to be popular on the market for the foreseeable future.

Operators in the market for one of these jets should find the preceding comparison useful. T Mike Chase’s analytical and consultancy services are highly valued within the Business Aviation industry.

What’s Your Comms Equipment Worth Today?

How did aircraft communications equipment evolve, how is it appraised, and what should operators consider when upgrading?

Jeremy Cox reflects on what comms equipment is worth today… ithout the ‘electromagnetic spectrum’, aviation airborne navigation and communications would be impossible. We have Maxwell, Loomis and Marconi (who performed experiments in the late 1880s) to thank for the invention of RADIO (Remote Audio Discrete Integrated Oscillations) which would eventually become so pivotal to aviation.

Of course, the first radio communications were made as ‘wireless telegraphy’ using the Morse Code, but wireless voice communications eventually became possible by moving from a pulsed transmission to a constant, stronger signal

W 80

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

called a carrier wave at a higher frequency than the communications signal which is carried along, while the signal strength (Amplitude) is Modulated (increased/decreased) which results in ‘AM Radio’.

The US Government contracted with AT&T to develop the first aircraft radio. Frequency Modulation (FM Radio) was invented in the 1920s, and this now forms the backbone of most aviation communications systems - but now in a digital format.

In the early 1950s NATO created the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet which was immediately adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and became the Phonetic Alphabet.

When valuing airborne communications equipment in your aircraft, be prepared to accurately transcribe model numbers and serial numbers. If you fail to do so, your numbers might be significantly inaccurate.

It is vital to remember that even though a system might have a low list price, the installation cost could outstrip the component cost many times over. Every communications system requires one or more antennas to be installed, as well as wiring, engineering approvals and more.

An aircraft belly or an entire interior may require removal for an MRO shop to gain access to areas behind the headliner or under the floor. For larger aircraft the expense for interior removal and reinstallation could exceed $100k.

Next could be the need to cut a hole through the pressure vessel skin, which must be done in a manner that does not cause stress risers, pressurization and rainwater leaks, or corrosion potential.

A Closing Thought on Speed of Transmission

The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. A message sent from the ground in Rosario, Argentina to a ground station in Xinghua, China (great circle distance of 12,425 miles) must be relayed by one, or more satellites positioned 22,236 miles above the Earth, thus requiring the message to travel a total 46,175.1 miles. The time delay is less than 3 x 1/10 of a second.

When we finally land on Mars, the delay could be up-to 21 minutes for the 234,878,310 miles that each message will have to travel. If you are an avid science fiction reader, you’ll be familiar with the term ‘FTL Communications’ (Faster Than Light), the science of which has not yet been discovered, and implemented.

How to Benefit from Space-Based ADS-B Incorporating oceanic regions and

remote areas of the planet, space-based ADS-B will offer Business Aviation

operators truly global coverage. But

what are the benefits, and will spacebased ADS-B require yet another

upgrade? Dave Higdon explores… he world's air-traffic surveillance standard technology will undergo a sea-change come 2020 as most of the world's industrial countries complete their changeover to air traffic management using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), replacing radar.

The weak link for both radar-based and ADS-Bbased air-traffic management, however, is the ground network required to link the aircraft data to ai r traffic controllers. A ground-based network precludes coverage over oceans and wide swaths of the planet still lack ground stations and the connecting network.

But, starting at year's end, a new surveillance system goes on-line after two years of work establishing its network – and this one promises to cover the earth from pole-to-pole at all altitudes.

Employing the same ADS-B Out technology already in use in aircraft around the world, the satellite-based ADS-B system comes from Aireon, a Virginia-based company which works in partnership with major Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) from around the world, among them NAV Canada, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), Navair and others.

In an arrangement with Iridium Communications, Aireon launched its first ten satellites hosting its

T

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

ADS-B systems in January 2017, and through a series of additional Iridium launches by partner SpaceX, Aireon expects to fly its ADS-B system on a total of 81 Iridium NEXT satellites by the end of 2018. All will be equipped with the Aireon ADS-B hardware.

After Iridium and Aireon complete their own flight checks, the system will provide global surveillance under contract with subscribing national air-traffic management aut horities. The FAA is expected to sign up for coverage over its oceanic flightinformation regions.

The net result will be global air-traffic surveillance covering the entire planet – its oceans, deserts, mountains and plains – continually and without breaks in coverage.

Not only does the Aireon system offer the world an unbroken aircraft-surveillance network, but the satellite coverage opens the way to mu ltiple other benefits – all with the same airborne equipment already installed in thousands of aircraft around the world.

The Global ADS-B Standard Already In-Use

From speaking with a sample of business aircraft operators known to fly internationally one of the first reactions to hearing of Aireon's new globalsurveillance network could generally be summarized

www.AVBUYER.com

as, “Oh, great – another equipment mandate.”

But Aireon's satellite-based surveillance network builds on the equipment already required by participating nations under the ICAO standards.

Aircraft equipped with ADS-B Out transponders are tracked automatically with their position broadcast in real-time by both Aireon's satellite system and the ground-based network.

That means operators equipping for the global standard are already equipped for Aireon's system, since ADS-B Out 1090MHz with Extended Squitter is mandated throughout the world.

Aircraft in the US that don’t fly above Flight Level 180 that use the 978 Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) will not be seen by the Aireon satellite network, however. The Aireon satellite ne twork receives only ADS-B broadcasts on 1090 MHz, the global standard for ADS-B.

What are the Added Benefits?

Air traffic surveillance isn't the only benefit available from Aireon's satellite-based system. There are several others, also worth examining.

In mid-August Aireon, in partnership with the IAA, opened free registration to air navigation service providers, aircraft operators, regulators and Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations which can preAdvertising Enquiries see Page 8

register for the Aireon global Aircraft Locating and Emergency Response Tracking (ALERT) service.

When operational in Q1 2019, Aireon's ALERT service will provide the last known position of an ADS-B-equipped aircraft that is in an apparent distress state or experiencing a loss in communication.

The service is only available to aviation stakeholders and offers precise position reports, free of charge. The Aireon ALERT system will operate out of the IAA North Atlantic Communications Centre in Ballygirreen, County Clare, Ireland.

With Aireon’s unique space-based ADS-B service, Aireon ALERT promises to close a major gap in the world's air-traffic surveillance networks and prevent repeats of aircraft going missing for weeks, months and sometimes years (as in the case of Air France 447 and Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370).

Both accidents illustrated a critical need within the aviation industry for global tracking – something the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) subsequently tackled.

With Aireon's ALERT service, ANSPs, aircraft operators, regulatory agencies and SAR will have access, on request, to exact position data for an aircraft in distress over the oceans, remote areas and anywhere else they may need aircraft position

“Our facility will be providing Aireon ALERT services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year,” Peter Kearney, chief executive officer, IAA elaborated. “As long as an aircraft is broadcasting on 1090 MHz ADS-B, we will be able to locate it anywhere worldwide. This is a unique and secure cloud-based service, designed to the highest data protection standards.”

GADSS Compliance

By combining its satellite-based ADS-B surveillance with the FlightAware online flight-tracking service Aireon is able to offer what it calls “GlobalBeacon” as a solution to the ICAO requirement for Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS).

GADSS addresses all phases of flight under all circumstances including distress. GADSS will maintain an up-to-date record of the aircraft progress and, in case of a crash, forced landing or ditching, the location of survivors, the aircraft and recoverable flight data.

By combining FlightAware’s data processing platform and web-interface with Aireon’s spacebased ADS-B network, GlobalBeacon transcends borders and Flight Information Regions (FIRs) to provi de 100% global coverage. GlobalBeacon allows airlines and aircraft operators to exceed GADSS standards and recommended practices for flight tracking.

Under current requirements airliners must be capable of generating a GADSS report every 15 minutes starting in November 2018. By 2021 the automatic position reports must come once a minute for aircraft in distress.

ADS-B Data for Analysis

Aireon’s space-based ADS-B service will store an archive of aircraft location and movements data for all ADS-B equipped aircraft worldwide.

Current aviation data suffers from several limitations. Aviation data sets are stitched together using many regional or country sources. These sources use different technologies and systems to assemble the aircraft movement data.

Primary and secondary radars, land-based ADS-B and Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) are confined to line-of-sight surveillance in densely populated areas.

As a result, existing data sources do not offer a complete or single picture and often have significant gaps in fleet data, regional limitations in unique Flight Information Regions (FIRs) and incomplete data across major air traffic routes.

Most airspace analysis is done with less-thanaccurate assumptions and relies on scheduled information and flight plans, rather than actual routes and diversions, which often differ from the original plan when the realities of traffic congestion and weather events intercede.

Starting imminently, Aireon plans to introduce a comprehensive data set of global ADS-B equipped aircraft movements, which promises to significantly enhance the analytical capabilities of the aviation in dustry.

The Aireon data will provide accurate aircraft location and ADS-B message information to support global air traffic analysis, airspace and air route design, capacity and resources planning, predictability analysis for arrivals and departures and fleet optimization. T

Five Top Security Tips for International Trip Planning What can an aircraft operator do to ensure maximum security on international business flights? Keegan Coutinho, Click Aviation Network, offers his top suggestions… uccessful businesses often follow opportunities wherever they can be found around the world. Such global organizations understand the number one benefit of Business Aviation – the ability to access any destination they need to go on their own schedule.

Sometimes, though, a business opportunity will necessitate a flight into a riskier, possibly volatile nation or region.

While a key element of any international trip planning is to assess potential security risks and act accordingly, what are the main security tips for

international Business Aviation trip planning that will keep both crew and passengers secure wherever they fly? Here’s our ‘Top Five’…

1. What are the regulations?

It is imperative to assess and understand the regulations and requirements laid out by the governing bodies of the region or country of interest before travelling there.

The destination country (or its related Civil Aviation Authority) may have established bilateral agreements with the country of origin, or ‘such kind of a trade agreement’ that may be in place

between the national or continental governing bodies of the two countries. Prior knowledge about these requirements and regulations will help prevent the crew and passengers from encountering a compromising situation.

For example, failure to understand such requirements and regulations could result in heavy fines being levied on the aircraft, and possible diversions to another airport enforced (with its own set of problems if that airport is not adequately equipped according to the aircraft’s and passengers’ requirements).

2. A Safety and Risk Assessment of the Country of Interest

Usually when such kind of agreements or understanding are not in place, extensive measures and research will need to be carried out in the interests of the safety of the crew and passengers.

The governing bodies of developed nations usually do a good job highlighting and informing the users of the safety and security levels in operation at a specific airport or region.

Understand, though, that these reports are merely informative.

Further risk-assessments should be carried out by operators to be confident of compliance with the company’s policies of protecting the safety of their crew and passengers. The political climate in the region should be assessed thoroughly. While Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

an airport facility may be relatively safe, a region’s political climate can create a very different security proposition once crew and passengers exit the airport.

An operator should seek the trip planning services of a provider who will also carry out a risk assessment of the destination, independently highlighting any potential issues that could impact the safety (in and out of the airport) of all personnel on board. An element of local knowledge will prove very beneficial here.

3. What is the airport security for flight personnel?

It is essential to determine the feasibility of operations at a destination airport. That means consideration needs to be given to whether the airport is compliant with the minimum requirements to land/take-off with your aircraft.

NOTAMS (notice to airmen) and runway facilities should be assessed to ensure they meet the performance requirements of the aircraft.

Crew should be aware of any surrounding obstacles and terrain that could impact operations in and out of the destination airport. Once that has been determined, any customs/immigration and security procedures must be analyzed to ensure the safety of crew and passengers as they pass through the airport.

The same applies to staff screening, as a



November 2018 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

91

FLIGHT PLANNING.qxp_Finance 16/10/2018 11:04 Page 3

OPERATING T FLIGHT PLANNING

measure to avoid interference from non-authorized personnel (i.e. unauthorized civilians/officials) that could jeopardize the safety of all personnel transiting the specific airport. A lack of staff screening could lead to a compromise in the security of the airport, the aircraft and related equipment.

4. Don’t overestimate your aircraft’s security

It will be vital to take measures to secure the safety of the aircraft while it’s on the ground at the airport. Ascertain, and make sure you are happy with, the procedures carried out by airport personnel to ensure their perimeters are not breached.

A security failure could lead to an aircraft being vandalized, tampered with – possibly even stolen.

So, an airport’s security measures will play a key role in determining the feasibility of that destination for your operation.

5. How good is security and safety en route to a destination?

Due to the ever-changing political situation in regions like the Middle East, monitoring

continuously for new and emerging potential threats and restrictions that could hinder the security of the aircraft and its occupants is important.

The threats are not restricted to the destination airport and surrounding area, however. They include regions and countries that will be overflown en route. Should a security threat emerge, you will need to be prepared to re-route if necessary.

In Summary

Security can be a complex area, and as highlighted by our final tip, it can be a moving target depending on the region. An operator unfamiliar with the destination where a business opportunity arises would be well advised to source the expertise of a reputable, established flight support service who will have planned many successful and secure flights to these destinations before.

With every possible measure taken, and the right partner at your side, there should be no reason for a flight into an unfamiliar, potentially difficult area to be unsuccessful. T More information from www.click.aero

OPERATING T REGISTRIES

What to Consider When Choosing an Aircraft Registry When would an operator consider an international register and what are the complexities? Aviation Director Andre Fodor discusses... ears ago, when posted in Africa to fly relief-missions for the United Nations, I spotted an aircraft displaying an Nnumber. Approaching it, I met two pilots that surprisingly lived very close to my home in the US. Years later in Asia, I approached a similarly Nregistered aircraft hoping to make some new home-country friends and was equally surprised to meet two pilots who neither spoke English nor had ever set foot in America.

It underlined the point that what once was an indication of nationality has become an operational decision that should be a part of every Flight Department manager’s tool bag.

The concept of registering an aircraft under a different flag may help eliminate sales tax, tariffs and lower the overall cost of aircraft acquisition

and ownership, while helping to provide a veil of anonymity and privacy for the owner. Aircraft registered under a foreign flag can also help circumnavigate difficult government policies that hinder the use of private aviation and help curtail the possibility of aircraft seizure.

Sometimes, however, an operator’s choice of registry can work against them. As an example, in recent years several privately-owned aircraft were grounded indefinitely in Brazil. Owned by Brazilian citizens or businesses, these aircraft were N-registered.

The Brazilian government, having missed out on collecting taxes on these large assets, grounded and impounded the entire fleet, pending their ANAC re-registry and the restitution of large sums in back-taxes.

www.AVBUYER.com

Aircraft Index see Page 129

Registries.qxp_Finance 17/10/2018 09:22 Page 2

These aircraft were mostly left to deteriorate on the ramp since their operators were also prohibited from performing maintenance or from preserving their assets. Some of the aircraft were left unattended for so long that the final recourse was to write the asset off as scrap.

Operational regulations often play a major role in an operator choosing to register an aircraft under a different flag. In some countries, the process of training and certifying flight crews can be burdensome and outdated. Pilot licenses expire annually, and a type-rating may be required for all aircraft, irrespective of their size.

In one country I operated in, after crew training had been successfully accomplished, the government’s registry inexplicably took three months to process the training documentation and issue the new licenses. A fully qualified crew sat idle and the aircraft could not generate revenue until the process had been completed.

Furthermore, some nations may have such rigid and limiting regulatory legislation that they hinder the productivity of the aircraft and its crew. For example, it might place restrictions that limit longrange flying or the use of advanced technologies such as LPV and lower EVS approach minimums.

So, what are some of the considerations an operator should weigh up when deciding which registry would best suit their operational needs?

Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

Maintenance Considerations

When deciding on a registry suitable for your aircraft, primary consideration should be given to maintenance accessibility. An operation with an aircraft registered under a nation with a small corporate fleet may find difficulty in getting maintenance or obtaining parts outside of its country of origin.

It may also be difficult to retain a mechanic who has the legal authority to perform the work and sign-off paperwork returning the aircraft to service, and it may be necessary to bring along a mechanic during all overseas trips to help ensure small, nonMEL maintenance items don’t become an extended AOG situation a long way from home.

While an FAA- or EASA-registered aircraft will have no trouble finding qualified maintenance globally, and some ‘foreign shelter’ registries have strategically aligned their maintenance requirements to accept FAA or EASA technicians by default, it’s worth thorough consideration of the maintenance implications before selecting a registry for your aircraft.

Security Considerations

Having a foreign-registered aircraft operating at your home airport may bring unwanted attention and scrutiny. In our current state of alertness, an unusual registration may raise many questions. But

OPERATING T REGISTRIES

“Ideally, discuss the pros and cons with someone who has ‘been there and done it’”. then, there may also be benefits. During a previous consulting assignment, a client made the decision to register one of their aircraft with a foreign registry.

As a large construction company, the client had multiple contracts overseas and found their Nregister attracted negative attention at some of their international destinations. A neutral registry helped assure safer travel and greater invisibility.

International Registry Considerations

International registries are no place for the inexperienced operator, however, and they can open the door to many challenges and considerations, including differences in law, ownership structure and culture.

An operator considering an international registry should first ensure their aircraft is listed on the international registry with a well-established and well-documented chain of ownership. They should also ensure that it has worldwide insurance coverage with a well-known, reputable insurer.

Keep in mind, too, that certain STCs may not have been approved under the new registry and failure to research this may require an operator to revert or disable work previously undertaken to 96

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

achieve that STC. Moreover, lower residual value may be realized at the sale of an aircraft on certain foreign registers.

These are all matters that should be explored and understood before an operator makes a choice of aircraft registry. Above all else, though, seek the advice of those who are experienced in international aircraft registries, establishing their impact on the owner/operation. Ideally, discuss the pros and cons with someone who has “been there and done it”.

Ford and Chrysler CEO, Lee Iacocca, brilliantly said in his biography that “History is to be learned from and its lessons used; why repeat the same mistakes that someone has made in the past?”

In the case of choosing an aircraft registry, this is very sound advice. T With a focused approach on global excellence and creativity, Andre Fodor has managed flight operations for the U.N. and Flight Options as well as being a senior demonstration pilot and instructor for Embraer Aircraft.

He is currently the Aviation Director at Johnsonville Sausage.

In response to his October article, ‘How to Hire and Keep Pilots Without Breaking the Bank’, p108, Andre Fodor received the following responses (among several others):

You hit the point of “total compensation” well Andre.

Too many pilots compare the raw “salary” number and overlook the additional benefits that are very important. They find themselves earning more “cash” and losing out on the benefits and thus lower total compensation.

Flight Departments are poaching the experienced Captains from each other with higher compensation offers. But department managers must be attuned to the overall happiness of their team. They must drive the change with HR ahead of personnel leaving.

And don’t forget the experience shortage is even more dire in the technician ranks.

Nat Lyengar, Captain, G650 at Jet Aviation Business Jets (Hong Kong)

Andre’s Reply:

Hi Andre!

Your October article in AvBuyer was well written and thought-out. There is more than just pay, though.

Quality of life and respect for what you do is critical for ultimate job satisfaction. I believe that a well-run corporate Flight Department should be competitive on most issues with the airlines.

The one item that still concerns me for our corporate pilot issue is how willy-nilly Flight Departments just close or lay people off. The airlines used to go through those cycles, but I do not see any airline furloughs in the immediate future.

Mike McKracken, President, Hawkeye Aircraft Acquisitions

Andre’s Reply:

Nat, right on! A well informed and experienced technician is an invaluable asset. My article was just as valid for them.

A valid point, Mike, and one of my biggest concerns in Corporate Aviation. The only way to mitigate this would be with a severance contract.

Recently I met someone who negotiated a contract to age 65! Although rare, this was certainly inspiring as to what is possible when both parties need each other.

Aircraft Maintenance: Three Money-Saving Tips At a busy time of limited capacity for the aircraft maintenance industry, how does a business jet operator keep its maintenance costs down?

Elliott Aviation’s Mike Saathoff offers three cost-saving tips… he current aircraft maintenance market can create a tough environment for customers trying to schedule maintenance items.

From the supply side, the industry as a whole faces declining workforce availability. From a demand perspective, the market economy has driven flight hours up, which has increased the amount of aircraft maintenance needed.

The demand is further exacerbated by the upcoming mandate for operators to equip with ADS-B and an economy-driven upturn in discretionary spending, putting more capital toward major modifications and large-scope paint and interior upgrades.

In this market shortage, however, there are a few things you can do to make sure that you can

T

100

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

save, over the longer-term, on your aircraft maintenance costs. Following is our top three:

1. Plan Ahead

In the environment we’ve just outlined, and with demand at a premium, most top-tier maintenance facilities have a backlog of at least six to 10 weeks.

Talk through your event with your maintenance provider and book your slots early.

The increase in demand for maintenance, combined with the limited supply of facilities likely means that the sales team has a large backlog of quotes, so it could take longer than expected to receive your quote.

ADS-B installations are not anticipated to slow until mid-2020, based on projections of the remaining non-compliant aircraft paired with the

Mike Saathoff has over 20 years of experience in corporate aircraft maintenance. He has held several service technician and quality control positions with Elliott Aviation and currently serves as the director of sales operations & engine and accessory sales. He has an Airframe and Powerplant and Inspection Authorization license with the FAA.

The other major issue that could impact your requirements is the difference between Part 91 and Part 135 operators. Part 91 operators are only personally flying their aircraft, and the mandatory maintenance requirements can be less. As operators providing charter flights, Part 135 operators have increased requirements and increased need.

As an example, a particular Part 135 operation specification may dictate additional requirements, such as compliance with an OEM’s Service Bulletins (SB) where those same SBs might be optional for Part 91 operators.

3. Maintenance Facility

industry’s capacity to complete them, and the majority of aircraft owners are doing their ADS-B upgrades in conjunction with a major maintenance event.

Properly planning your maintenance events can also help you to take full advantage of your downtime and avoid having to return to the shop for small items. In addition to your planned maintenance event, a reputable maintenance provider should go over any other items that could be coming due in the next six months, as well as common discrepancies found on your aircraft.

When forecasting your maintenance event it is recommended that you plan as far in advance as possible. This includes developing a full understanding of your upcoming events, including utilizing a maintenance-due/forecasting list such as a Corporate Aircraft Maintenance Planning (CAMP) due list.

2. Understanding Your Requirements

Understanding how your aircraft is utilized and what items are required for your category can help you plan for maintenance events. For instance, depending on how many hours you fly you could be categorized as ‘light utilization’, which could mean you qualify for a less stringent maintenance plan.

Pay close attention to the terms and conditions of any warranty or power-by-the-hour programs to fully understand what they cover.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

Selecting the right service center for your aircraft can be a critical component to save you long-term costs. Shopping each maintenance event can lead to inefficiencies and a frustrating experience.

In some cases, selecting a facility that may appear to save you money could only be doing so in the short-term.

For instance, if a shop is only doing the minimum to win an upcoming event, you could experience many unexpected discrepancies – particularly during your next major inspection – which can come as a frustrating surprise to customers, who may have believed their aircraft was being maintained well when, in reality, items that could have saved long-term costs were being overlooked.

Moreover, a facility’s reputation during an aircraft transaction logbook review can also help maximize an aircraft’s selling price.

In Summary…

Ultimately, the above three points should help operators see the part they play in keeping maintenance costs as close to expected as possible. At this busy time for the maintenance industry, taking the time to build proactive relationships is as important as ever.

A proactive operator will identify and build relationships with their maintenance shop, working alongside them to identify and schedule maintenance needs, in many cases before they arise.

OPERATING T AIRSPACE

How to Interpret Airspace and Aircraft Design Changes Major airspace and aircraft changes are underway. But how could they impact the development of future aircraft design? Ken Elliott considers… xtrapolating an aircraft design of the future is like predicting the weather. There are many factors in play. An aircraft’s design is more than just its aerodynamics and system engineering. It includes economics, geopolitics and international regulations, all of which can shape the development of each emerging technology.

Taking a holistic approach, an aircraft may be designed within the context of the total airspace in which it intends to operate, including how that will appear several years hence. Consider how the aircraft, as a platform, either navigates an optimum route between two points, carrying passengers or cargo; or equipped with sensors and tools, flies out and back from a single location, fulfilling enterprise missions.

Once you know the aircraft is either intended for transit or for enterprise, the operational considerations can be bound within very specific constraints, defined by the airspace required and the regional environment.

This thought process includes all types of aircraft and envisions a much greater use of the ‘airspace in between’. Typically, this implies lower altitudes within uncontrolled Class G airspace. So,

E

102

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

in some cases, the design requirements can serve the need of low altitude urban transit, where unconventional scenarios of very short range and higher density altitude operations will exist.

Airports are expensive to build, operate and maintain (as China is now discovering). The desire to create efficient aircraft that do not require runways is significant. Runways also eat up real estate and the closer they need to be to urban areas, the harder the decision to build. Heathrow’s third runway is a great example.

One other driving factor is the expectation of convenience spurred on by a bourgeoning global middle-class. They may be wealthy enough to move via air transport, but not quite able to own the aircraft in which they fly. This same educated group is likely to prefer flying in something quiet, safe and tamper-proof. If an aircraft also happens to be hybrid electric and by default, light on ‘fuel’, even better.

These assumptions take us to a very different place than today’s aircraft. They are real but also idealistic - so, a more accurate expectation would be the design of an aircraft to operate somewhere in between our familiar current environment and what we think is possible.

Figure 1: Expanded ‘Aircraft’ Groups

Figure 2a: Aircraft Criteria & Design Technologies Needed to Function in the New Airspace

For example, moving from piloted to autonomous will be a phased, deliberative approach (see Figure 2b). Today, for people and cargo movers, we are edging toward operations using a single pilot. We are planning for remote pilot and envisaging the day of no pilot. As with piloting, emerging technologies will also be iterative. Their introduction will be paced in line with that of regulations and guidance.

Emerging and mature technologies, needed to meet the changing airspace requirements, are not new. However, they will be approached differently.

This, in part, is because future users will be a much broader group. There will also be more acceptance for the use of open-source, as opposed to proprietary software platforms.

Remotely piloted and autonomous flight will naturally incur greater scrutiny. Technologies will need to be tamper-proof and become more integrated. Live monitoring and safe recovery from a flight failure is to be essential. Concern for people on the ground will increase exponentially when users operate within urban areas (the future turf of Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (e-VTOL) aircraft).

Emerging Airspace Crucial to Aircraft Design

The space we need to design for cannot be viewed as isolated segments. Today, we carve up our airspace into oceanic, continental, enroute, approach and terminal. Operations are centered on metroplexes, hubs, spokes, airports and heliports.  Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

OPERATING T AIRSPACE

Future airspace must also accommodate the needs of urban transit, enterprise ‘out and back’ operations, high altitude endurance, supersonic and low-earth-orbit space traffic. Given the projected complexity, holistic integration will be essential.

High volumes of transit air traffic can be anticipated in dense urban areas, slowly easing as the terrain becomes more rural. On the other hand, enterprise drone traffic can be expected to gravitate around industrial locations and along associated physical infrastructure.

Other future traffic, such as space transport, should be easier to accommodate as there will be less short-term demand for those services than for others.

As aircraft evolve there will be less need for runways. For example, aircraft platforms designed for VTOL do not require runways. Their (air)ports could be parking lots and rooftops. Because both drones and e-VTOL are designed to operate with maneuverability and agility, they require limited real estate for take-off and landing.

Low-Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability

Recently, the FAA finalized the implementation of its new Low-Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) digital airspace program.

Currently this is set up for Part 107 unmanned aircraft operators.

It involves 470 airports and 288 ATC facilities, all having LAANC capability. This positions the US to successfully integrate small unmanned aircraft into its existing infrastructure, below 400ft.

Under LAANC, drone operators request approval via one of several service providers. The providers will either indicate an automatic approval or in cases where the intended operation falls outside of specific limits, seek FAA approval. In the case of automatic approval, the request turns into a notification with the service provider advising air traffic and other interested parties.

The notification provides route and flight 104

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

details, like filing a flight plan. Service providers also inform users of flight advisories and alerts, show restricted areas and show other aircraft, by type and intent, as display information.

The service provider uses FAA LAANC maps.

These show pre-approved, one square-mile altitude blocks around and within commercial and military airports and other sensitive sites. Typically, blocks at airports show zero-altitude approval and a progressively higher altitude approval, of up to 400ft, as you move further away.

Areas not covered by these blocks may be considered OK to operate in. However, all existing Part 107 rules will still apply. Of course, not all airports and regions are participating in the LAANC program, so it is crucial to check that first.

Applying LAANC to Urban Areas

Taking this concept to the next level, LAANC may be applied (with some variation) to urban areas in general. This will include obstacles, such as towers and buildings and just as existing Terrain Awareness Warning Systems rely on high density data bases, these new maps may provide the same service but with even greater complexity.

A significant take-away is that an individual operator may only concern themselves with an approval to operate in the area in which they intend to fly. Equally, this allows for a more localized approach to airspace approvals, somewhat in line with the White House and Department of Transport approach to involve local and regional authorities in a current drone integration effort.

This effort has commenced with the FAA UAS Integration Pilot Program (FAA-IPP) where only City, State and Regional Authorities can apply for limited operation programs. They must work with industry partners and maintain a continuous FAA involvement. The idea is for the FAA to learn from these local, low altitude ‘experiments’ by gaining experience, in preparation for long-term unmanned aircraft guidance.

By natural progression, this implies a similar

approach to e-VTOL transit aircraft programs and later a totally integrated national airspace.

So, looking at the traditional airspace, plus the ‘spaces in between’, we can expect to see a gradual in-filling of Class G via ‘managed’ fixed altitude airspace blocks. These blocks will protect non-towered airports that have no instrument approaches. They may be reduced in size to a halfsquare-mile within dense urban environments.

Today, notification of air activity is required within 5 miles of any airport, irrespective of the airspace classification in which it is located. This hints at how the future airspace may be ‘sliced and diced’. In turn, aircraft will be designed with their technologies best suited to accommodate developing airspace requirements.

The complexity of the design requirement, to accommodate a dramatic increase in convenience and efficiency, will demand adaptive air vehicles with technologies that can rapidly process largescale data.

Major highways and rail lines already determine routes with acceptable noise limits between centers of urban activity. It is therefore likely that e-VTOL and other modes of future air transport will use these same corridors. Not only will these expand in 3D, but they will function in 4D, using time and Performance-Based Navigation (PBN).

Another consideration for an overall integration is the role of ATC, automatically processing traffic flow via datacom. Further, the use of direct traffic to traffic situational awareness, will allow a more seemless (potentially unmanned) air traffic integration. Controller to Controller (C2C), Controller to Vehicle (C2V) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) are projected features of a future airspace, providing for efficient, reliable and expedited direct traffic management.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – November 2018

In Summary

Major airspace and aircraft design changes are underway. The common denominator will be greater access, achieved by greater vehicle agility, increased awareness and an ability for all users to handle large volumes of data, among other considerations.

These factors drive the enhancement of existing technology and will introduce the new. So be assured, that today’s ADS-B, VDL clearance, FANS and WAAS-LPV will evolve. Existing TCAS and TAWS will also look very different.

New technologies, being integrated into drones, will expand into other aircraft platforms.

Connectivity, using Ka-band for international and 5G for domestic flights, will serve to advance highspeed solutions at lower cost.

Regular smartphones will become even smarter and, in some form or fashion, control a lot more than you might think possible or allowable at present. Relying on a constant internet signal, these personal devices will connect to high altitude, terrain following, fixed-position drones.

Because civil aviation authorities are moving over to performance based (instead of prescriptive) requirements, there is a lot more room for the development and acceptance of technology.

Already in use with drones, smart devices controlling aircraft, while using open source software is a possibility that may not be as far away as you think. T

T

he milestone aircraft is equipped with Blackhawk’s XP135A Engine+ Upgrade, which the new owners, Gregg and Jan Goodall, cited as being one of the key deciding factors in the purchase decision.

“There was never a moment that we considered a purchase without the XP135A engines either already installed or to be installed immediately after the time of purchase - anything less was a nonstarter,” said Mr. Goodall.

“Because our favorite destinations are out west, hot and high operations became

a concern. Stock PT6A-21 engines on the older models just didn’t work very well in hot and high situations, even when carrying a modest payload.

“When I started researching options and talking to other King Air owners, I found that the Blackhawk XP135A Engine modification was the industry-standard to improve overall performance – especially hot, high, and single-engine performance in the C90. The decision was a nobrainer,” asserted Goodall.

The first such modification was delivered back in 1999.
