BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM
Opportunities Move on Business Wings. Possibly the world’s most recognized expert on the value of Business Aviation, Jack Olcott is a former Editor and Publisher of Business & Commercial Aviation magazine and Vice President within McGraw-Hill’s Aviation Week Group. He was President of the Aviation Business National Association from 1992 through 2003, and today Jack’s network and personal knowledge of Business Aviation uniquely qualifies him to oversee Business Aviation and the Boardroom. More information from Jack@avbuyer.com
“The company that considers Business Aviation once it is successful has the sequence backwards.”
Companies that use Business Aviation are Winners. Boards are responsible for strategic planning. Creative Boards seek solutions that amplify the productivity of employees and time, a company’s most valuable assets, outlines Jack Olcott. umerous studies - many sponsored by the National Business Aviation Association - but all conducted by leading research organizations, reference the success of companies that employ some form of Business Aviation to transport their employees. Throughout the many decades that NBAA has tracked the use of business aircraft by US and European corporations, research data conclusively show that when compared with non-users, firms employing Business Aviation generate higher profits for shareholders, maintain a higher retention rate among valuable employees and are included on lists of the best

managed and most respected companies. Yet there remain skeptics who question the value of business aircraft. Rhetorically, they ask whether companies use Business Aviation because they are successful, which subsequently leads to their decision to acquire an aircraft. When I presented this question to the CEO of a well-known, publically traded corporation, his answer was clear: “The company that considers Business Aviation once it is successful has the sequence backwards. Business Aviation is an effective tool for achieving success. It is not the prize that corporations obtain for being successful.”

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation MULTIPLE CASE STUDIES No Plane. No Gain, NBAA’s impressive program of advocacy, has documented many examples of firms that used the unique ability of Business Aviation to move the right person or team quickly to locations when opportunities arise. The right person or persons can be face-to-face with the appropriate counterparties before the competition arrives. Clients are impressed by such responsiveness, and shareholders are the ultimate beneficiaries. The launch document of No Plane. No Gain, published in the early 1990s, described South Trust’s response to a recession that impacted the banking community in the Southeast. At the time, South Trust was the second largest bank holding company in Alabama. Its rival across town, the state’s largest bank holding company, reacted negatively to the downturn by cutting spending wherever possible, including curtailment of its use of Business Aviation. South Trust took the opposite tact. “There’s business out there”, said its Board, charging the bank’s leadership to reach out to clients and prospects. The company aircraft was put to greater use, resulting in South Trust emerging from the recession as Alabama’s largest bank holding company. Two decades later, at this year’s NBAA Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition, the Association distributed it latest study, “Business Leaders on Business Aviation”. Twenty-six CEOs, some well-known to the general public and others not household names, described briefly why their companies include Business Aviation as one of their tools for effective transportation and business success. Frederick Smith, the Yale University student/entrepreneur who conceived the need for rapid delivery of packages by air and described in his senior thesis what became Federal Express, noted that “Business Aviation has been an integral part of FedEx’s success since the day we were founded”. As Chairman and CEO of FedEx, Fred Smith leads a firm that was named by Fortune magazine as one of the top 100 corporations to work for in 2013. While the Kohler Company, founded in 1873 and located in Kohler, Wisconsin, is well known, its Chairman and CEO, Herb Kohler, maintains a lower profile. But his endorsement of Business Aviation is loud and clear. “Our company’s accomplishments working on the leading edge, and my usefulness, would be far less were it not for Business Aviation”, he is quoted to say by NBAA in its most recent No Plane. No Gain brochure. “Our people in the home office seldom spend more than one day round trip, which enables them to get their rest and have balanced lives while avoiding the congestion of airports.” Sheila Johnson, CEO of Salamander Hotels & Resorts, says that “Business Aviation Takes Salamander Hotels & Resorts to new heights by putting us on the ground where we’re needed most.” Joe Sanderson, Chairman and CEO of Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
Sanderson Farms, is quoted as saying, “For Sanderson Farms, Business Aviation provides quick and efficient access to our locations so we can provide hands-on management as our industry demands.” Brian McCoy, CEO of McCoy’s Building Supply, notes that “with 87 locations in five states, Business Aviation allows me to be face-toface with team members and customers.” Dr. Ed Schweitzer, President of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, told NBAA that “all over the world, Business Aviation helps [Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories] make electrical power safer, more reliable and more economical. Our company is 100-percent employee-owned, and over 2,000 of our employee-owners have flown on SEL’s company planes.” Companies large and small, well-known and obscure, use Business Aviation as a tool for business success. A wise Board includes the use of business aircraft in its strategic planning.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM
Business Aviation Case Study Security Company CEO enjoys Added Security of Business Aviation. Rani Singh writes about aviation. She reports on news, foreign affairs, politics and business with the world’s largest news organisation.
Dr. Richie Nanda is the Executive Chairman of TOPSGRUP, widely regarded as India’s biggest security firm, and The Shield Group. Business Aviation in the security business is a rapid growth sector, as Nanda explains in a recent interview with Rani Singh. r. Nanda was brought up in India by parents who encouraged him from a very young age to start working and looking towards the future, but his was a story of struggle. “When my father had a stroke, I was forced to take control of his shares in a chain of Chinese restaurants. “I think people looked at me and assumed I had everything handed to me on a silver plate but when I got my first job, I was surviving on £10 [$16] a month. People have not seen the twenty eight years of hard work I've put in to get here. The nights I slept without food or drink - most people would have crumbled under the pressure of having to provide for their family at the age of 16; instead I flourished. “I considered a series of different career paths ranging from public relations to real estate brokering but in the end I decided I wanted to revive the family business in private security,” Nanda

recalls. “I knew the Indian security market was missing something; a professional, ethical and quality conscious security provider.” Within his first few years of owning TOPSGRUP, Dr. Nanda challenged the Mafia in Bombay, which at the time was extorting money in exchange for security. “The highest level of security should not just be kept for the largest bidder, but for those who need it the most. “After leading the domestic Indian market, I felt a need to enter the mature UK security market, and in 2012 I completed a £19.5million purchase of The Shield Group…one of the top UK security companies with a reputed brand, which meant it was an obvious brand fit for TOPSGRUP. “I first started using private jets roughly four years ago when I had to begin travelling back and forth from our offices in London, to the headquarters in India,” notes Nanda. “I had a deal to seal and could not afford to be inaccessible for eight

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation hours [flying commercially]. At that point it was critical to be in London at a specific time and Business Aviation paid-off.”
Having gained so much through hard work, Dr. Nanda explains, “One of my biggest desires is to give back to society as much as I can. It gives me immense pleasure being able to help those who need it most.” Specifically this has involved adopting and educating desolate girls in India. “They have been held back for so long that it's amazing seeing them flourish in education.
FURTHERING BUSINESS WITH PRIVATE JETS Under TOPSGRUP, Shield has become the UK’s largest independent total security solutions company. Philip Beresford who compiles the Sunday Times Rich List - in which Dr. Nanda has figured two consecutive years - notes, “Dr. Nanda is widely acknowledged to have rejuvenated the security industry in India and with the acquisition of The Shield Group in Britain in 2012, he has once again shown exemplary leadership, business vision, dynamism and an innovative approach to take The Shield Group to the position of being the largest, independent Total Security Solutions provider in the UK.” “It is my responsibility to ensure that the business continues to thrive and expand across the globe,” Nanda outlines. “I am trying to create a safer world; I chose this sector because I believe it is one of the best ways to make a difference.” The aspect of Dr. Nanda’s growing empire that receives relatively little coverage, however, is the use of private jets. It seems obvious, but they clearly are a necessary tool in the world of security. “I am a strong believer that time is money,” Nanda elaborates. “By using private aviation I am able to save massive amounts of time which I can then spend helping my business grow. “It allows me to work to my highest capability no matter where I am - whether that's sitting in my office in London or flying thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean. I am also able to work without the fear of interruption.” Crisis management is a large part of working in the security sector. “I could be needed at the drop of a hat, so this means I need to avoid anything that could cause delays on my journey – Business Aviation is the most efficient way of achieving this.”
AT THE HEART OF THE ACTION Adding to his need for Business Aviation, Dr. Nanda’s business has offices throughout the globe, and being able to get from one to another in a few hours is essential. “I never wanted to be a boss who is away from where the action is; I want to be in the middle of it, making sure everything is going according to plan. “I also pride myself on punctuality,” he adds. “Being on time is vital for your business to succeed, if you are just a few hours late to a meeting you could lose a deal which might cost you millions. In order for this business to be the best it can be, being late is not an option. “It is also important to remember that working in security, my primary focus is always to ensure the safety and security of my clients. There are cases when it is simply safer to use private jets to fly my clients across the globe than it would be to use the airlines.” Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
“It is also really important to remember what our ancestors have sacrificed in order for us to be where we are today. As a mark of respect and appreciation for the heroes of the Indian War, I created an initiative and pledged over 1,000 eyes for the beneficiaries of the victims of the Kargil War. It was my small way of expressing my gratitude to those who fearlessly protected and died for our nation.”
BIGGER GOALS Dr. Nanda has his sights set on a bigger goal, ultimately. “Three years from now, I would like to see the business achieve even more; this will involve reaching a larger international clientele. My main priority is expanding into the US. It will be one of my biggest challenges yet, but I believe that this is the market that needs to be tapped.” Naturally, Business Aviation will aid him in unlocking the United States. “Using a commercial airliner to fly from London to New York takes eight hours, and that doesn't include going through security or checking-in so realistically it takes roughly twelve hours. “Private aviation is likely to reduce the time issue - but like any businessman, whatever decision I make, whether to fly commercial or via a private jet, it needs to make economic sense. For me private aviation is less about luxury and more about practicality.”
“For me private aviation is less about luxury and more about practicality.”

Technology In Aviation: Not your Grandkids’ Video Game. David Wyndham is co-owner and President of Conklin & de Decker where the focus of his activities is on aircraft cost and performance analyses, fleet planning, and life cycle costing for clients. Mr. Wyndham can be contacted at david@conklindd.com
Pondering the rapid pace of today’s technology and noting the requirement to install advanced capabilities within five years, David Wyndham discusses the need for planning now. n my pocket I carry a small mobile device that can connect me to the internet and enable communications with almost anyone throughout the globe. It has read and write capabilities, and it can perform a myriad of calculations at least as complex as those required to place a man on the moon. Without such capability, my options would be severely restrained. Technology has changed what I feel is necessary to support my business and personal life, and it has also changed aviation. Unlike my mobile device, which I can upgrade easily and relatively inexpensively, fitting the company’s business aircraft with the latest in technical capabilities requires a lot more planning, understanding and dollars.

operations, which obviously impacts a flight department’s budget and cost-effectiveness. Determining when added investments in technology result in measurable benefits, however, is a challenging task. Perhaps the biggest area where technology is impacting aviation is in avionics. High-tech communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) equipment is being driven by the desire for increased efficiency and safety that can be derived from both the presentation of precise position information and by reduced pilot workload in critical phases of flight. Avionics incorporating advanced CNS technologies is also being forced, albeit more slowly, by regulatory initiatives designed to assure that all aircraft eventually are equipped to fly in an advanced air traffic control system.

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation Much like my phone has a glass screen capable of portraying information tailored to what I ask of it, so does the modern aircraft have a ‘glass cockpit’. Two to five computer screens have replaced dozens of round gages. Troubleshooting and repairing gages has been replaced by built-in tests and easily replaceable components. If the unit in a modern cockpit doesn't work, swap it out in a few minutes and ship the faulty one back to the factory. These modern cockpit electronics, while expensive, fail far less often than their hydro-mechanical counterparts and thus offer cost advantages.
NEXTGEN Aircraft with gages and older technology radios, along with many first and second-generation glass cockpits, are facing forced obsolescence as advancing air navigation requirements mandate newer equipment. Here in the US, the Federal Aviation Administration has a year 2020 goal for modernizing our methods of air navigation and air traffic control. The Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen as it is known, seeks to increase the number of aircraft that can be in the airspace at any one time, while maintaining if not enhancing the system’s already high level of safety. Part of the NextGen plan, which dates back to President Clinton's administration, requires increased accuracy and reporting from aircraft in the system. It comes down to this: our ground based ATC can safely handle 1,100 aircraft at any one time. NextGen aims to increase this number to 1,900 aircraft with improved safety. A key element of NextGen is Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast mode (ADS-B). This technology, which includes the use of satellites, offers two basic modes known as ‘ADS-B Out’ and ‘ADS-B In’. ADS-B Out provides position information similar to what air traffic controllers obtain now using ground-based radar and will be required essentially for all business aircraft by January 1, 2020. ADS-B In, which is not mandated, provides aids such as weather and support information transmitted directly to the cockpit of equipped aircraft.
OTHER NEXTGEN TECHNOLOGIES Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) are position calculation requirements that will allow for aircraft to operate safely in closer proximity. RNP requirements are already being seen for trans-oceanic flying and will make their way into airport approaches. The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) uses satellites to enhance the accuracy and coverage of GPS in North America. WAAS allows for more precise navigation and more fuel-efficient routes into and out of airports. A global effort, sponsored by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is called FANS Future Air Navigation System. FANS' goal is to develop the future of air traffic management and navigation through the use of datalink communication technology, GPS and advanced surveillance. NextGen requirements will have a significant

“Regardless, the time for planning is now. We can't all upgrade in the fall of 2019.” impact on older generation turbine aircraft. Necessary upgrades are much more extensive than just a software change. Costs will vary considerably from model to model and can be upwards of $1 million dollars in some situations. Given the costs involved and the value of older business jets, upgrading may or may not be the best financial alternative.
DON’T DELAY The year 2020 may seem like there is plenty of time to make decisions and perform necessary upgrades. And the 2020 deadline may be delayed, although the government seems committed to that date. Regardless, the time for planning is now. We can't all upgrade in the fall of 2019.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
n the wake of several high profile airline crashes, including ValuJet Flight 592 in Florida, TWA Flight 800 near New York and Pan Am Flight 103 near Lockerbie Scotland, airlines responded to criticism that their behavior toward the families of victims was callous and unfeeling. Actions were taken that resulted in the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act (ADFAA), which was introduced in 1997. ADFAA dramatically improved the response of airlines to family members of accident victims. Following airline crashes that occurred post enactment of ADFAA, family members were so impressed by the airlines’ compassionate response that they actually called to thank the air carrier. The intent of the Act, which is to provide emotional care and support to the immediate family of a deceased crewmember or passenger as well as re-imbursement
for reasonable costs of transporting the family to and from the accident site, lodging near the accident site and grief counseling if needed, appears to have been achieved.
GENERAL AVIATION INSURERS FOLLOWED SUIT In the last several years, some Business and General Aviation insurance companies have followed suit with the implementation of this coverage. Many of your legacy GA underwriters also provide insurance for the airlines; they felt it simply made sense from a holistic perspective to offer similar benefits for all of their insureds. The coverage was introduced as an endorsement to an aircraft owner’s existing policy and spelled out exactly what was provided. Like the airline form, coverage is generally meant to provide emotional care and support for the U continued on page 34

immediate family of a deceased crewmember or passenger and can include notification of the next of kin, establish an information distribution center, personal counseling, and even assist with creating a suitable memorial on or near the crash site. In the aftermath of a fatal aircraft accident, life for the family of an accident victim as well as the aircraft owner becomes frantic and chaotic. These services will feel like a life-line at the time.
RULES OF THE ROAD Family Assistance Coverage (FAC), if offered by your insurance carrier, has a comprehensive list of benefits. Ask your broker if your policy includes provisions of the FAC. •
• •
•
•
FACs are typically added by endorsement (if your insurer offers it). Request your aviation insurance broker to check with your insurance carrier and add it if available. Not all accounts qualify for FAC coverage. The coverage normally has a negotiable dollar limit for each person, which can range from a low of $25,000 per person to $500,000 or higher. One insurer doesn’t have a ceiling on the coverage limit. The specific coverage wording varies by insurance company, some broader than others. This element of FAC is tricky to ascertain. Your aviation insurance broker can help you decipher the details. Coverage applies for a time-limit of a year from the date of the accident.
Each insurance company treats FAC coverage a little differently. Some insurers make the argument
34
AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
that the relevant provisions are already covered under the liability coverage component of the policy and therefore do not need to be endorsed. They argue that by endorsing FAC provisions on a policy and spelling out exactly what is covered, the endorsement actually restricts coverage since benefits have been specified. The insurers who are offering the coverage by endorsement make the argument that without such specifics the aircraft owner will not know what the insurance company will actually cover. Both interpretations are probably right to some extent. In today’s environment of news that travels in real-time over social media, insurance companies and aircraft owners need to make sure they are on the same page after an accident. The first rule is ALWAYS the same. Take care of the people! Not only is it the right thing to do, both the insurance company and you as the aircraft owner have a brand to protect. How you treat and take care of the people involved in a tragedy means everything, now more than ever. It is imperative that family members of victims after an accident be handled by individuals who have received formal training in this area. Mishandling the situation is easy to do by wellmeaning but untrained staff. Mistakes and miscues cannot be undone. Make sure your flight department is aware of FAC and incorporates the tool of Family Assistance Coverage in your Emergency Response Plan.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
When the Lights Turned On in Orlando... Jay Mesinger sees encouraging signs emanating from the Business Aviation community’s most important bellwether.
O
ur community is shining. It was evident when the National Business Aviation Association held its annual convention – BACE - in Orlando, Florida during the last full week of October. Suffice to say the attendance numbers were great, exhibitors were pleased and new product introductions were plentiful. Congratulations were in order, but this reflection focuses on why the NBAA event is fundamentally important and has immediate impact on Business Aviation. Board Members are tasked with providing overall direction and strategy that prepare their company for the future. The character of NBAA’s convention and its timing within the community’s recovery cycle, therefore, are relevant to how Board Members fulfill their responsibilities with respect to Business Aviation. Understanding the impact of BACE highlights the importance of the Board’s strategic plan-

ning with respect to business aircraft and other means of travel for corporate executives, sales and support personnel, and technical specialists. I believe real signals of recovery were present at BACE, but timing continues to be critical. Will the market recovery proceed at a reasonable pace, or will growth be so rapid that companies needing more lift or equipment upgrades are left behind?
OPPORTUNITIES AND SIGNPOSTS Sustainable recoveries start slowly and trend upward at a steady pace. During the last 40 years our community has experienced five distinct recoveries, and we have learned (or should have learned) not to react to a recovery but to embrace it and help guide its progress. After all, recoveries are not stand-alone phenomena. They follow the people within the industry. As the confidence of the people actively involved U

within the Business Aviation community increases, so does the pace and sustainability of the recovery. If the people falter or pull back, so goes the pace of the recovery. Bottom line, recoveries do not sling shot their way into our reality; rather a recovery moves slowly and provides ample time for participants to jump in. The following phenomena should be great indicators for Board Members to watch as they seek opportunities in Business Aviation.
LISTEN TO COMMUNITY BUZZ
transactions a ‘Head Fake’ or is it the sign of real recovery?” We have had a few false starts in the last few years. Buyers can be distracted easily and use any economy or world event as a reason to put on their brakes and slow down or stop making buying decisions all together. Ask if buyers are using events to cause distractions or if the events are real game-changers to the trend of a recovery. In 2010 and early 2011 our industry started to pick up steam, but it was short lived and no one really used words like recovery to describe the increase in activity. What we are experiencing now feels and acts differently, and I do not think we are experiencing a ‘Head Fake’! The main focus of the Board should be examining the near- and long-term needs of the company, and then building a strategy to maximize the firm’s productivity and profitability. With respect to Business Aviation, this inward focus can quickly shift to a market focus. The good news is the pace of today’s recovery in the market for business aircraft should present buying opportunities for a manageable period going forward. Note, however, that while the market has created much better selling activity, full recovery has not been reached. So approach fleet planning for business aircraft with confidence and an assurance that Board Members can develop and implement a strategy with reasonably predictable and successful outcomes.
Board Members are wise to seek intelligence from the Business Aviation professionals within their company. Often heard within the marketplace is the question, “Is the increased activity in pre-owned

Supply and Demand: What percentage of the available fleet of any model is for sale? A healthy number historically is 10%. Availability of models within a category: Are you seeing the better aircraft separated from the mediocre offerings? In a market dive it seems that all aircraft are cheap, but as a market recovers and transactions pick up, the better listings get picked off first. In fact, buyers begin to pay slightly more for desirable models, resulting in a distinct differentiation between the quality aircraft and marginal equipment. Number of days on the market: Is the period of availability for the category that interests you beginning to shorten? Pricing trends: Is there firming or flattening in the previous downward trend of pricing?

J
ust after my 11th birthday I learned one of my life’s most important and enduring lessons. I had just become a Boy Scout and was competing with the entire troop for one of three slots to go on a three day boatingcamping trip on the historic James River. All I had to do was be one of the top three finalists in a troopwide contest. The odds were hugely against me. All the other boys were older and much more experienced… especially in the arenas of camping and campsites. Our troop was in a wood patch behind the school we used for our meetings. We were given one hour to create model camp sites that would be judged by the troop master and his assistant. As I began, I realized I didn’t know what to do. So, I asked the boy next to me. Like any good scout, he took the time to talk me through the basics: perimeter, shelter, fire pit, latrine, etc. I set to work. I soon saw that my model campsite looked the same as those of most of my peers. To be among the best I would need to exceed the norm. I looked around at what the other boys were doing to find better ideas. When I saw something unique, I asked the scout
responsible for the innovation for his insights on that aspect of his project, and each scout was more than willing to share his ideas. After all, that is the scouting way. My model campsite became an amalgam of other people’s innovations. But it was more than that. I had assembled and tweaked those ideas to create an even better whole. I won a slot on the camping trip. More important, I had learned a great life lesson: To be among the best, you do not have to be the smartest person in the group. You only need to be smart enough to learn from everyone else.
LESSON LEARNED My scouting experience also taught me the value of being on a team. Working together to achieve excellence is much easier and more fun than going solo. Maybe that philosophy is why I cherish being a member of the Business Aviation community. We are all working as individual professionals, as crews and teams, as departments, and as a community to succeed. If one of us does well we all soar higher. If one of us fails we are all diminished, unless we learn from that failure. U continued on page 44

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation
When I reflect back on my scouting experiences I realize that constructing that campsite was one of my first deliberate efforts to “network”. Today, I am a very active networker. Why? Because I love to learn. By being exposed to the performances, experiences and ideas of others I am able to take that information, play with it and come up with the insights that create new learnings, different ways to approach problems and ways to assure even better results for myself, for my team and for others.
PAYBACK So, “What’s In It For You” (WIIFY)? There is a common thread among the best and brightest in Business Aviation: They network. They network deliberately, methodically and aggressively. There is also a common thread among the rest of Business Aviation: They do not network. Their reasons vary. They may be physically isolated. Their flight department may be understaffed to the point of not allowing enough time. They may not be comfortable reaching out beyond their immediate circle of friends. However, each of those challenges can be overcome. One of the most effective networkers I know is Jeff. He has three traits that make him really good at it: 1. He has great listening skills. He is an active listener; he asks non-threatening, leading, and probing questions. 2. He is very patient. He is totally attentive to the person communicating. He allows them to share
44
AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
as many nuggets as possible. 3. He is humble. He assumes he can learn something from anyone. He is not in a hurry to show others how smart he is. As a result, Jeff has gained a great deal of knowledge that makes it much easier for him to do a great job in his role in his company. Effective networking truly is very powerful. As a person responsible for your company’s Guiding Principles, are you urging your Business Aviation professionals to network? Have you given them the resources that allow them to network? For instance, do they have the budgeted time and funds to participate in formal networking opportunities like the National Business Aviation Association’s Annual Convention, regional association meetings, the Flight Safety Foundation’s Business Aviation Safety Seminar and any number of other forums? Are you mentoring them to develop their networks, especially beyond the bounds of their own comfort zones, both outside the company and in? Are you asking them to participate in corporate staff meetings? Networking: Learn to listen. Listen to learn. Develop diverse relationships. It pays substantial dividends.

Turboprops Give More... Turboprops, more often than not, enjoy better times than the jet and piston aircraft markets. Perhaps that has to do with owner-flying. The top-selling turbos tend to be aircraft that are continually popular among those needing fuel-efficient, multi-mission types. hile exceptions exist anywhere, generally turboprop airplanes offer a common set of attractive attributes. The engines are responsible for most. Turboprop engines benefit today from propeller designs that are far more sophisticated than only a decade ago, and resulting in lower maintenance costs; longer overhaul cycles; improved climb and cruise performance; and in turn reduced noise levels in the cabin. In addition, specific fuel consumption numbers continue to improve, with the practical effect of allowing the use of higher power-levels without suffering a proportionate increase in fuel consumption/costs. That, in turn, contributes to improvements in take-off, climb and cruise speed. Another advantage is the single-pilot operational simplicity, engineered into even the multi-engine turboprops. The only exceptions to the sum total of these benefits exist among the unpressurized models that are available and form a small, important and dynamic segment of the turboprop market.

Today’s turboprops offer a broad range of turbine performance, propeller cost-effectiveness (some with at - or near to - Light jet cruise performance capabilities) with cabin and cockpit accoutrements that rival the best of the fanjet strata.
TURBOPROP PRICE GUIDE The following Turboprop Retail Price Guide represents current average values published in The Aircraft Bluebook–Price Digest. The study spans model years from 1995 through Autumn 2014 (20 year period).

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Great Leaders Often Follow Leaders depend on followers but must also be good followers themselves. by George Dom n an unchanging world of unvarying routine and repetition, a manager could settle into a role at the top of the organization and always be directing actions with great situational awareness. However, we don’t live in such a world. In fact, the rate of change in all aspects of our work and lives is accelerating. Successful flight departments must learn to operate as an adaptive, agile team, with leadership assumed by the most appropriate person at any given time. Leaders began their careers as followers and will continue to spend a significant amount of their day as a follower - following their boss, clients, customers and stakeholders. During my single-seat strike-fighter days

in the US Navy, the basic combat formation was 2-4 fighters flying abeam with a separation of approximately 1-2nm. Each pilot was assigned a unique sector to search visually and with his or her air-to-air radar. As the flight leader, I would be searching the sector with the highest probability of detecting the enemy. Because preflight intelligence is never 100% accurate, however, the “bandits” sometimes would be detected outside my sector by my wingman at relatively close range. With mission success depending on rapid reaction in a matter of seconds, we had a specific protocol for passing tactical flight leadership to the pilot with the best situational awareness. Here’s an example of a flight of two FA-18s—call signs Wildcat 1 (leader) and Wildcat 2 (wingman or follower): www.AVBUYER.com
Wildcat 2: “Wildcat 1, threat, 020, 15, twelve thousand, hot!” (Translation: “Enemy aircraft bearing 020 degrees, 15nm away, 12 thousand feet, heading our way!”) Wildcat 1: “Wildcat 2, press!” (Translation: “You are now the leader and I’m supporting you.”) Corporate pilots have a similar method for passing positive control of the aircraft from PIC to SIC, ensuring there is no doubt concerning who is flying the jet.
TEAM FOCUS High performance teams operate best when positional leaders are prepared to temporarily Aircraft Index see Page 4
Flight Dept Mng1 Dec14_Finance 18/11/2014 12:11 Page 2
be a follower and subordinates are prepared to temporarily assume a leadership role when conditions warrant. This act of dynamic leadership sharing requires planning and training… •
•
Planning: o Under what conditions will leadership be passed? o How will the transfer be communicated and acknowledged? o What are the new leader’s responsibilities, authority and limits? o What are the new follower’s responsibilities, authority and limits? o Under what conditions will leadership be returned or assumed by the original leader? o How will the reestablishment of the original leader-follower roles be communicated and acknowledged? Training: o Discuss and review the items above. o Seek opportunities to practice. o Debrief occasions when leadership was transferred (or should have been) and lessons learned.
A GOOD FOLLOWER If being a good follower is crucial to the success of the team, what are the traits of a good follower? After a review of the literature, Dr. Patsy Blackshear noted eight characteristics of exemplary followers. They are:
Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
Willing to set ego aside and function as a team player, Self-empowered with initiative and a willingness to act, Persist or have staying power, Entrepreneurial in approach and spirit with a focus on results and doing what’s necessary to get things done, Proactive problem-fixer rather than reactive as a problem identifier, Adaptable, flexible, Optimistic or positive in approach, and Seeking continuous improvement and personal development.
It’s interesting to note how these eight traits are also important to being an effective leader.
TAKING ACTION Consider these steps that you can take to develop better followers on your team and become a better follower yourself. •
•
•
•
Develop your team. Review the list of exemplary follower traits with your team and discuss how you can help team members improve. Seek feedback. Have the courage to ask your boss or a trusted colleague to provide feedback on your performance as a follower. Plan. Cover the list of planning items to achieve dynamic leadership with a member of your team. Be clear on each item and ensure he or she understands. Practice. Look for opportunities to pass the lead on a few projects and areas of
www.AVBUYER.com
responsibility to members of your team. Seek lessons and improvement. As flight department manager, you cannot delegate ultimate responsibility for the performance of your team. You will (and should) be held accountable for your decisions. However, if you plan, prepare and practice dynamic leadership and followership, you will be pleasantly surprised that performance, productivity, agility and resilience will significantly improve. You might just be able to take a few days off now and then! Reference: “The Followership Continuum: A Model for Increasing Organizational Productivity” by Patsy Baker Blackshear, Ph.D.

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Persuasion is Better Than Force The art of accomplishment by influencing others. by Jodie Brown
esop’s fable describes a powerful (and underused) art of persuasion thus: “The North Wind and the Sun disputed as to which was the most powerful, and agreed that he should be declared the victor who could first strip a wayfaring man of his clothes. “The North Wind first tried his power and blew with all his might, but the keener his blasts, the closer the Traveler wrapped his cloak around him, until at last, resigning all hope of victory, the Wind called upon the Sun to see what he could do. The Sun suddenly shone out with all his warmth. The Traveler no sooner felt his genial rays than
A
he took off one garment after another, and at last, fairly overcome with heat, undressed and bathed in a stream that lay in his path.” Successful leaders do not rule by directives and intimidation. They apply persuasive communication skills to create a motivating and cohesive environment. In his respected 1984 book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion", Robert Cialdini created the ‘Six Principles of Influence’. We use this foundation to teach The Power of Presentation Skills. Whether speaking to corporate executives, colleagues or direct reports, aviation managers who apply one or more of these following techniques will achieve greater success. ❯ continued on page 60

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT SKILLS
HOW WILL YOU ASSERT YOUR INFLUENCE WITHIN YOUR FLIGHT DEPARTMENT/CORPORATION?
1. RECIPROCITY There is something within most people that wants to reciprocate a kind deed or square a debt. For example, on his way to work, a flight department mechanic bought some special bottled water that he knew the executive enjoyed. The act did not go unregistered. During budget review, the executive recalled the mechanic’s thoughtfulness and the other actions that made her flight department invaluable to her safety and comfort. Perform acts of kindness but don’t be afraid to play the “chips” you collect over time.
2. COMMITMENT (AND CONSISTENCY) Consistency makes life easier. Once you become comfortable with a new concept, the more committed you become to it and the more likely to follow through. Chances are, people will support your ideas if they’d shown interest when you first introduced them. Try to gain commitment early on, preferably in writing. Test out your ideas. Ask, “We are thinking of getting the new software, how will it make your job easier? What do you think you will need to make it work?” Take their comments and views into account when you return to make your final presentation.
3. SOCIAL PROOF The combination of safety in numbers and peer support is undeniably persuasive. We tend to assume that if other people are involved, then “it” must be OK. This is espe-
60
AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
cially true when we feel uncertain and when we see others like ourselves involved. Create a “buzz” around your idea, backed by support from others who have a positive influence on your target audience. Refer to people who your target audience admires. Use testimonials. People are more likely to be convinced by their peers.
4. BEING LIKED It’s no surprise that it’s easier to be influenced by people we like, who are similar or familiar to us, or who have simply earned our trust. People are more likely to support those like themselves and others they know and respect. Invest your time building relationships. Create rapport and treat everyone as an ally. Demonstrate true interest in others and build your network of supporters. You may have to stretch your comfort zone.
5. AUTHORITY Although the “boomer” generation was the first group to openly question authority, we still feel a sense of obligation to people in positions of authority. To use authority as a persuasive technique, get support from influential people and ask for their help in backing your ideas. Let people view you as a resource. Refer to respected experts, share the latest research and use the comments from your influential network.
6. SCARCITY The psychology of behavior in the law of supply and demand is that products and www.AVBUYER.com
services become more appealing when their availability is limited or when we can lose the opportunity to acquire them if we do not act promptly. We’re persuaded to buy rather than wait if we believe that something is the last one or if the special opportunity expires soon. When you need to gain support to move something forward, create a sense of urgency or express possible consequences if action isn’t taken. Influence and persuasion are powerful techniques because people want to feel as if the decision to act is theirs. By using persuasive communication skills you will motivate people to go in the direction you wish – and do so willingly.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
BRIEF HISTORY Dassault introduced the Falcon 2000 as the Falcon X in 1989. First flight came in 1993, and two years later in 1995 the Falcon 2000 entered service. The Falcon 2000 is a twin-engine business jet. It is smaller than the Falcon 900 tri-jet, and offers transcontinental range. Featuring a large, stand-up cabin, two CFE-738-1-1B GE engines, and a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 integrated avionics suite, this aircraft can be RVSM certified when Service Bulletin SB-063 is complied with. Following the Falcon 2000, the Falcon 2000EX (which received FAA certification in March 2003) offered 25 percent greater range (over 4,000nm) in a six-passenger configuration - while maintaining or improving the other performance qualities that had driven www.AVBUYER.com
the success of the original Falcon 2000. This improved performance was due to a new powerplant (two PW308C jets totaling 7,480 pounds of thrust) and increased fuel capacity. Next came the Falcon 2000EX EASy offering the new EASy flight deck. This model received US certification in June 2004, and in October 2005 Dassault announced yet another development on the original in the shape of the Falcon 2000DX. The 2000DX replaced the Falcon 2000, with deliveries getting underway during 2008, and over 300nm extra range. The 2000EX was replaced by the Falcon 2000LX from 2010 – the 2000LX essentially offering winglets as standard over and above the model it replaced. Finally, the Falcon 2000S was added to the 2000-line-up in 2012. ❯ Aircraft Index see Page 4

CABIN VOLUME According to Conklin & de Decker, the cabin volume of the Falcon 2000 (1,028 cubic feet) is less than the Challenger 604/605 (1,146 cubic feet). The differences can essentially be found in the cabin length: the Falcon 2000 series has the greatest length of the study group at 31 feet. However, the Challenger 604/605 cabin length measures 28.4 feet and offers more width at 8.2 feet compared to the Falcon 2000 series at 7.7 feet. It is also interesting to note that the cabin volume of both the Falcon 2000 series and Challenger 604/605 do not change from one model to the other. The respective cabin cross-sections are represented, courtesy of UPCAST JETBOOK in Chart A (left).

The data contained in Table A (left) is sourced from Conklin & de Decker and B&CA’s May 2014 issue. A potential operator should focus on payload capability. The Falcon 2000 series’ ‘Available payload with Maximum Fuel’ has a range from 1,095 to 3,410 pounds, which is generally greater than the Challenger 604/605 (1,263/1,298 pounds).

As depicted by Chart B (left), according to Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC), using Wichita as a starting destination for the business jets in our field of study, the Falcon 2000EX EASy and 2000LXS show slightly more range coverage than the Challenger 605, while the 2000 and 2000S show less range. Note: For jets and turboprops, ‘Seats-Full Range’ represents the maximum IFR range of the aircraft at Long-Range Cruise with all passenger seats occupied. ACC assumes NBAA IFR fuel reserve calculation for a 200nm alternate. The lines depicted do not include winds aloft or any other weatherrelated obstacles. Aircraft Index see Page 4

AIRCRAFT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FALCON 2000 SERIES POWERPLANT DETAILS The Falcon 2000 series aircraft (excepting the original 5,918lbst CF34-3B-powered 2000 model) are powered by two PW308C engines each offering 7,000 pounds of thrust (lbst). The Challenger 604/605 offers a pair of General Electric CF34-3B powerplants with 8,729 lbst each.
COST PER MILE Using data published in the May 2014 B&CA Planning and Purchasing Handbook and the August 2014 B&CA Operations Planning Guide we will compare our aircraft. The nationwide average Jet-A fuel cost used from the August 2014 edition was $6.18 per gallon at press time, so for the sake of comparison we’ll chart the numbers as published. Note: Fuel price used from this source does not represent an average price for the year. Chart C (top, right) details “Cost per Mile” and compares the Falcon 2000 series to its competition factoring direct costs and with all aircraft flying a 1,000nm mission with an 800 pound (four passengers) payload. The original Falcon 2000 shows a cost per nautical mile of $6.60, which is less than the Challenger 604 ($6.65). The remaining Falcon 2000series models all have lower operating costs than the two Challenger 604/605 models. Note, the latest Falcon 2000LX and 2000S models are both significantly less with a $5.03 cost per mile. The ‘Total Variable Cost’ illustrated in Chart D (centre, right) is defined as the Cost of Fuel Expense, Maintenance Labor Expense, Scheduled Parts Expense and Miscellaneous Trip Expense. The Total Variable Cost for the Falcon 2000 series shows a high of $2,826 per hour to a low of $2,142 compared to the Challenger 604/605 at $2,870 and $2,772, respectively.

should be utilized. For example, aircraft used in commercial 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 six year recovery period. There are certain uses of the aircraft, such as non-business flights, that may have an impact on the allowable depreciation deduction available in a given year. Table D (left) depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2014 model Dassault Falcon 2000LXS aircraft in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five and seven-year periods, assuming a Vref New retail value of $32.9m.

maximum payload values are from Conklin & de Decker, while the number of aircraft inoperation and percentage ‘For Sale’ are as reported by JETNET. The Falcon 2000 series has a smaller in operation fleet (over 500 aircraft) compared the Challenger 604/605, but both families’ percentages ‘For Sale’ are in the 5.8% to 7.0% range, representing a traditional seller’s market. Of the 461 whollyowned Falcon 2000 aircraft in operation (excluding eleven Falcon 2000-series aircraft that are in a shared ownership arrangement and fifty-one in fractional ownership pro-

grams), North America is home to 62% and Europe 22% of the fleet (combined 84%).
DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE FOR BUSINESS AIRCRAFT Aircraft that are owned and operated by businesses are often depreciable for income tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Under MACRS, taxpayers are allowed to accelerate the depreciation of assets by taking a greater percentage of the deductions during the first few years of the applicable recovery period (see Table C, above).
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 applicable recovery period. In most cases, recovery periods under ADS are longer than recovery periods available under MACRS. There are a variety of factors that taxpayers must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated, and if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that

Chart E (right), sourced from the Multi-dimensional Economic Evaluators Inc. (www.meevaluators.com), shows a Value and Demand chart for the pre-owned Falcon 2000 series and Challenger 604/605. The current pre-owned market for these aircraft shows a total of 76 aircraft ‘For Sale’ with 29 displaying an asking price, thus we have plotted those 29. The equation that we derived from these asking prices and other criteria used should enable sellers and buyers to compare, and perhaps adjust their offerings if necessary. Demand and Value are on opposite sides of the same Price axis. The Demand Equation for these vehicles is Price $M = 28.038 Qty-0.434. The flat slope (exponent >-1.0) indicates that there is more revenue in the lower portion of the market than there is in the upper. This equation is very well correlated, with an adjusted R2 of 96.7%, a Pearson’s2 of 94.3% a Aircraft Index see Page 4

We find that the Value Equation for these aircraft is well correlated, with an Adjusted R2 of 90.5%, a Pearson’s2 of 92.1%, and a Standard Error of $1.965m (with P-Values of 4.81E-11, 1.1E-05, and 0.01% - and for Years, Range and Max Altitude in Feet respectively). Thus, the market for used Dassault Falcon 2000s and Bombardier Challenger 604s/605s respond to at least five features: Years, Range, Altitude, Price and Quantity.

The result is a very large number so for the purpose of charting, each result is divided by one billion. The examples plotted are confined to the aircraft in this study. A computed curve fit on this plot would not be very tight, but when all business jets are considered the “r” squared factor would equal a number above 0.9. Others may choose different parameters, 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

CHART F - PRODUCTIVITY
v
The points in Chart F (right) center on the same group of aircraft. Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in the B&CA 2014 Purchase Planning Handbook and Vref. The productivity index 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:
Index (Speed x Range x Cabin Volume / 1,000,000,000)
Falcon 2000 series as shown on the productivity index is well positioned alongside the Challenger 604/605 business jets.
SUMMARY Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the attributes that business aircraft operators value. There are other qualities such as airport performance, terminal area performance, and time to climb performance that might factor in a buying decision, too, however. The Dassault Falcon 2000 series continues to be very pop-
ular in the pre-owned market today. Those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison of value. Our expectations are that the Dassault Falcon 2000 series of aircraft, which started delivering in 1995, will continue to do very well in the pre-owned market for the foreseeable future.

THE AVIATION LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE
Acknowledging Our Fellow Industry Professionals aving just completed the 2014 NBAA Convention in Orlando, I am again struck with what wonderful professionals fill this industry. Not just fellow brokers but a vast network of other service providers in the lending sector, legal and tax, maintenance and modification professionals, and on, and on. So much of the business each of us enjoys - regardless of the segment - comes from referrals. As I walked the halls of the convention center I stopped often to shake a hand and say ‘thank you’ to those people who have generously referred clients to us. If I did not bump into you in Orlando, then let me use this article to say thank you! Not to dwell on the success of the show since many articles have been written to do so, I want to offer a few words to express my pride at being associated with such a great industry. I am sure all of you that were in attendance both in the hall and the static display would feel as I do. This aviation industry of ours is not just global but filled with great people. For me, I am filled with pride to have attended this year with our entire staff which just happens to include my wife and sons. It is hard to express the joy of seeing friends who have been in this industry as long as I have and who now also attend with their families who work in their businesses. Back to the meat of this article: Great relationships. These should provide benefits in both directions. As an aircraft broker we do not always get the opportunity to give attorney referrals or lending referrals. Often the lender has a prior relationship and a large corporation or high net worth individual comes to the table with them. Even the aviation attorney is often sourced prior to the broker being hired. How do you pave the two way street then? How does each person in a relationship give back rather than just take? I believe there’s an easy answer that we all sometimes forget. When we are reminded we realize we are all already enriching every relationship we are in. Recently I had an

aviation attorney that I have worked with for years call me to ask for feedback on a group of very specific niche market brokers. It was clear that he was not considering me for the project and rightfully so, but he did have trust and confidence that I could help him find the best group for the job. He trusted that I would be non-biased with my answers. The confidence in the answers I could provide for him by tapping into my network was rewarded. The input proved valuable as it helped him speak with a high degree of expertise to his client. So here was a

situation that allowed me to give back. I described the help I provided to a friend and he likened it to a term developed in the late 1990s called the ‘Expert Network Model’. Developed around institutional investments and consulting, the Expert Network Model is about creating a network of experts, skill-sets categorized, and tapped into when needed. After all, none of us can be well versed in everything. Spending a career developing relationships with other experts to tap into is one of the ways we differentiate ourselves from others. The strength of our Expert Network is impactful. Being able to use this resource to not just help our clients but equally to help www.AVBUYER.com
our fellow industry professionals is huge. In fact one of the main reasons we at our company attend events like NBAA’s BACE and other International aviation events is to expand our Expert Network. Finding aviation, legal and tax professionals who are versed in different regions of the world is critical to our growth beyond our borders. Not to mention the value to our clients as we source and sell their aircraft globally. Being generous with this network can grow your relationships very positively. When a friend calls with a request for sourcing a specific skill and they ask me for advice or an introduction I always help when I can. This sharing of the Network can have enormous benefit to the friend that is calling as they impart this find on their client to help them create a better outcome. I wish I had more opportunities to provide actual referrals back to those who refer us. On the occasions that we are asked, we are thrilled to return the opportunity for business. ❯ Jay Mesinger is the CEO and Founder of Mesinger Jet Sales.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
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 completed interior. On “cabin-class” aircraft, the length is measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead (or aft cabin bulkhead if unpressurized). For small cabin aircraft, the distance is from the cockpit firewall to the aft bulkhead. Height and width are the maximum within that cabin space. Cabin Volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs or other furnishings. Cabin Door Height and Width are the measurements of the main passenger cabin entry door. 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.). CREW SEATS/SEATS EXECUTIVE This is the typical crew and passenger seating commonly used on the aircraft. This is not the maximum certificated seats of the aircraft. These numbers may vary for different operations (Corporate, Commercial, EMS, etc.). WEIGHTS: • Maximum Take-Off Weight and Maximum 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 and 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. SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE RANGE: • Range - Seats Full is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alter-
www.AVBUYER.com
nate 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 fixed-wing aircraft. BALANCED FIELD LENGTH BFL is the distance obtained by determining the 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 Takeoff 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 fixed-wing 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.

GAMA 3Q 2014 SHIPMENT ANALYSIS
GAMA Third Quarter 2014 Shipment Analysis by Mike Potts or the third quarter in a row the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has issued a very positive report on deliveries and billings, which continues to support the idea that the long-awaited recovery in Business Aviation is finally underway. Shipments for the first three quarters of 2014 totaled 1,678 aircraft, up 5.7 percent from the 1,587 recorded at this time last year. Billings for the ninemonth period totaled $16 billion, up four percent from the $15.4 billion recorded a year ago. Business jets are leading the recovery, with deliveries up 9.3 percent over last year at 460 units (versus 421 by 3Q 2013). Turboprops are lagging slightly at 412 units, down from 428 a year ago, but the 3.7 percent reduction consists mostly of agricultural airplanes. Business turboprops are actually holding their own. Piston airplane deliveries are up 9.2 percent at 806 units over the 738 reported at this time last year. GAMA President & CEO Pete Bunce noted the weakness in the turboprop market as he called on the US Congress to renew tax incentives, including bonus depreciation and the research and development tax credit that benefit Business Aviation OEMs before the end of this year’s legislative session. There is little doubt that these incentives help the industry, and with recovery starting to develop nicely this year it would be a shame to see anything happen to curtail the progress we’re making.
F
JET MARKET SPECIFICS It’s particularly encouraging to see the recovery begin to spread throughout all segments of the jet market after the lower end had pre-
90
AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
viously seemed mired in recession. That is no longer true. Looking at the specifics of the jet deliveries, we see a market where six of the eight companies reporting have equal or better results than a year ago. Of the two with reduced numbers, one is down by only two units and the other down just three. In short, everyone is doing pretty well. The leader in unit deliveries is Bombardier, with 126 jets for the year, up five percent from 120 last year. Bombardier had 45 in 3Q alone, up a solid 25 percent over a year ago when it had 36. Bombardier’s billings thus far have totaled $4.875 billion, the second best total in the jet market. First in billings and second in unit deliveries is Gulfstream, with sales totaling $5.58 billion for the first three quarters. 108 Gulfstreams were shipped in the first nine months of the year (up 4.85 percent over 103 shipped last year), including 84 of its large cabin G450/550/650 series and 24 of its smaller G150/280 models. In 3Q 2014 alone, however, deliveries were down by 18.42 percent from 38 in 3Q 2013 to 31 units. Textron Aviation’s Cessna subsidiary reported another strong quarter, finishing 32 percent ahead of last year with 33 units versus 25 a year ago, bringing Cessna into a fairly tight race for second place in jet deliveries. With a total of 104 units, Cessna trails Gulfstream by just four deliveries going into 4Q 2014. Cessna’s total was 35 percent ahead of last year, when it delivered 77 jets. Bearing witness to the long-awaited recovery in the lighter end of the jet market, the company’s results were strongly impacted by the introduction of its new M2 model which has seen 31 deliveries this year including 12 in 3Q 2014, lending credence to the concept that new www.AVBUYER.com
models will help to fuel recovery in the jet market. Dassault ended 3Q 2014 third for jet billings with a $1.53 billion total, although its 38 deliveries in the period was only good for fifth place. Embraer finished fourth in the deliveries race. Both Dassault and Embraer were narrowly behind their 2013 totals, with the French company off 7.3 percent from the 41 jets delivered last year while the Brazilian firm was down three percent from 66 to 64. Eclipse, back in the market for the first time since 2008, made a single delivery in the third quarter, bringing its YTD total to 10. With no deliveries a year ago, that’s 100-percent ahead of 2013. Also showing a 100-percent gain was Boeing in the businessliner category. Boeing’s 3Q delivery total was four, up from two a year ago, while its YTD total is seven, up 40-percent from the five it had last year at this time. The year-over-year gain is entirely attributable to its 3Q performance. Airbus was the one jet manufacturer with results that equaled last years – showing three deliveries for both 2013 and 2014 so far, and zero in the third quarter of both years. It’s good to see all segments of the jet market finally performing well. Until this began to happen earlier this year, it was difficult to label the jet market as being in a full recovery mode. Now it seems easier to say that recov❯ ery is upon us. Aircraft Index see Page 4

GAMA 3Q 2014 SHIPMENT ANALYSIS TURBOPROP MARKET SPECIFICS With recovery spreading throughout the jet market, it is distressing to read in GAMA’s news release that the turboprop market is lagging. As noted above, however, when it comes to business turboprops this simply isn’t true. The traditional business turboprops are level with last year’s 3Q results at 264 units, although it takes a little searching through the numbers to determine this. While it would be nice to see the 2014 total up a few percentage points over 2013, the fact is that 264 business turboprops in three quarters of the year represents an already fully-recovered market. Don’t believe me? Look back to the market peak of 2008 and the years immediately before and after. In 2008 there were 348 turboprops delivered in the first nine months. Based on that, we still have a way to go - but in 2007 the number was 300 and in 2006 it was 256 – a number we’re slightly ahead of right now. Looking on the other side of the market peak, in 2009 there were 293 turboprops in the first three quarters – 9.8 percent ahead of where our market stands today. In 2010, however, the third quarter total was 237. We’re eight percent ahead of that. So today’s business turboprop market lags only the three peak years in the history of the modern Business Aviation market. Nobody thinks the market is going to achieve those levels again anytime soon, so in the context of reasonable expectation, today’s business turboprop market is in full recovery. [By comparison, if the jet market were doing equally well (as a percentage of 2006 or 2010 results) we would be seeing deliveries in the 540 to 560 range. So while it didn’t grow in the past year, the business turboprop market is pretty healthy right now.] Of the eight traditional turboprop OEMs reporting to GAMA (Beechcraft, Cessna, Pilatus, Piper, Socata, Quest, Pacific Aerospace and Extra), four are equal to or ahead of last year’s numbers, while three others are lagging by just one or two units. Only Cessna is significantly behind its 2013 pace. The leader in turboprop deliveries by a wide margin is Textron’s Beechcraft subsidiary, with 86 units for the year-to-date and 30 for the quarter. Both numbers represent an increase from the 84 it had made at this time last year (2.38 percent gain) and 26 in the prior 3Q (up 15.38 percent). Textron’s Cessna subsidiary was in second place with 64 units, down 12.3 percent from the 73 it reported last year. For the quarter Cessna was also off, from 28 to 22. Nevertheless, collectively Textron Aviation’s turboprops represent 56.8 percent of the total business turboprop market. Pilatus is in third place in turboprop deliveries with 40 units, a 25-percent increase over the 32 it reported through 3Q 2013. On a quar-

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
...the fact is that 264 business turboprops in three quarters of the year represents an already fully-recovered market. terly basis Pilatus was up more than 57 percent, from 14 a year ago to 22 this year. Socata, in fourth place, also enjoyed gains, reporting 33 deliveries YTD, up from the 28 it made last year. For the quarter Socata’s deliveries were up from 11 to 13. Fifth-placed Piper’s performance mirrored the market as it exactly matched its 2013 results, with 22 for the year-to-date and eight for the quarter both this year and last. Making up the balance of the business turboprop market are minor players Pacific Aerospace and Extra, both with reduced deliveries. Unknown in the business turboprop market is the performance of Piaggio. For the record, the shortfall in turboprop deliveries that turned GAMA’s numbers negative came from Air Tractor (120 versus 132 in 2013) and from Thrush (28 versus 33 in 2013). Will the business turboprop market grow further, meeting or even exceeding the peak years of 2007-2009? It is reasonable to expect that such growth will occur, but even if this market doesn’t gain another unit, it is still doing very well.
PISTON MARKET SPECIFICS The piston market is interesting because of the light it sheds on the direction the rest of the market is likely to take. Recovery in the jet and turboprop segments has always been led www.AVBUYER.com
by resurgence in the piston segment, and this cycle seems to be no exception. The continued growth in the piston market bodes well for sustained recovery in the rest of the industry. Fourteen companies reported deliveries of piston aircraft in 2014, including three names not previously seen in GAMA lists, one of which made its debut in the current GAMA report. Of the 14, nine have equal or better numbers than a year ago, while five were behind their prior year totals. In looking at the piston market, there are major players – companies with more than 100 deliveries in most years; intermediate players, with more than 25 but fewer than 100 units, and minor players that deliver fewer than two dozen aircraft annually. The performance of the major players is obviously much more significant to the overall situation of the market than the minor players, while the significance of the intermediates can depend on the heritage of the companies and the products involved, as well the sheer impact of their numbers. Of the five major players in the piston market today (Cirrus, Cessna, Diamond, Piper and TECNAM) only two have improved numbers while one is even and two are down, suggesting that some structural weakness still exists in the piston market, despite its overall ❯ improving performance.

GAMA 3Q 2014 SHIPMENT ANALYSIS Cirrus leads with 212 deliveries so far. Its numbers are up 8.7 percent from 3Q 2013 (195 units). On a quarterly basis Cirrus is also up, with 72 units versus 65 (+10.77 percent). Second place was a tie between Cessna and Diamond, both with 136 units YTD. Diamond’s numbers are up 52.8 percent over the 89 reported last year, while Cessna’s are down 2.86 percent from 140 in 2013. In addition, Diamond also delivers twin-engine piston aircraft so it seems fitting to proclaim that Diamond is now number two in piston aircraft – at least for now. Piper, another major player whose market presence is enhanced by the production of twins as well as singles, is also down from a year ago. It reported delivery of 69 singles for the first three quarters, down from 78 a year ago. For just the third quarter, Piper exceeded last year by two units at 25, up from 23 in 2013. TECNAM, meanwhile, is new to the GAMA report for 2014 (although previous reports have been amended to include prior results). TECNAM matched its 2013 nine-
month performance in singles this year with 49 singles. Its 3Q total of 18 was four units ahead of last year. Intermediate performers with delivery numbers in the 20s for the nine-month period included Extra with 24, up from 22; Beechcraft with 23, down from 26; and American Champion with 21, up from 20 a year ago. The twin-engine market now has four players, including Beechcraft, Diamond, Piper and TECNAM. Collectively they delivered 96 aircraft, up 18.52 percent from 81 units a year ago. The largest contributor was Diamond, with 38 units.
SUMMARY So as we wrap up a very successful 3Q, we have to consider how the various segments are likely to finish 2014. If the jet market performs like it did last year, with a 36 percent surge in the fourth quarter, we will finish the year with the first 700-unit jet market since 2010. Mitigating against quite such a strong finish is the production capacity of the
industry, which has been scaled back to match the market of the past several years. I believe we will break the 700 jet barrier this year, perhaps with a total of 710-715 units. I believe the traditional business turboprop market will continue to match last year’s performance, including a strong fourth quarter surge that should see us finish the year in the 425-430 unit range. The piston market hasn’t surged as strongly as the turboprops or jets in recent years, and I don’t believe it will this year either. I expect piston sales will continue about 10 percent ahead of last year and that should see us finish with a total piston market of about 1,150 units. If all these numbers come together, 2014 should end with deliveries in the 2,300 unit-range and billings perhaps as strong as $24.5 billion, bringing us close to breaking the industry’s all-time billings record of $24.87 billion set in 2008.

NOTES: 1. A shipment occurs when an aircraft is shipped from its production facility to a customer located anywhere in the world. 2. Shipments may include deliveries to a fractional operator owned by the company or to an aircraft dealer. 3. Aircraft are considered manufactured in the U.S. when produced under an FAA production approval and in Europe when under an EASA production approval. 4. Military aircraft shipments are not included in shipment table totals. 5. Company billings are not reported. Where available, GAMA estimates total billings using public information including B&CA Purchase Planning Handbook 2014 6. CubCrafters CC11, Diamond Aircraft HK36 Motor Glider and Flight Design GmbH ASTM CT Series models are included in civil make-model shipment total, but not summary tables. This change is intended to properly capture all deliveries by the companies listed while maintaining a consistent baseline of shipments from previous years' reports. GAMA will further integrate CS-VLA and S-LSA aircraft into future shipment reports. 7. Airbus and Boeing twin aisle shipments are identified in the report, but their value is not included in the calculation of billings. 8. Discovery Aviation was previously reported as Liberty Aircraft. 9. Mahindra Aerospace and the Airvan 8 were previously reported as GippsAero Pty. Ltd. and the GA-8 Airvan. 10. Piaggio Aero does not provide quarterly data, but reports airplane deliveries to GAMA on an annual basis. 11. TECNAM Aircraft is an addition to the GAMA shipment report in second quarter 2014. The 2013 report has been amended to also include TECNAM data. 12. Textron Aviation was formed on March 14, 2014 and includes shipments by Beechcraft Corporation and Cessna Aircraft Company combined 13. Textron Aviation first quarter data includes 8 King Air, 1 Bonanza, 1 Baron, and 2 T-6 airplanes delivered by Textron Aviation.

Flying With Ice Making safe travel choices this winter by Dave Higdon t this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, encounters with ice become a safety focus for both aviators and aviation officials. Notwithstanding their concerns, icing also impacts passengers, and too often they don't understand why - aerodynamics and weight limitations aren't everyone's day-to-day concern, after all. The more commonly-discussed icing issue is in-flight icing. The weight added and the altered aerodynamics make any amount of ice accretion unwelcome. Between speed and altitude, flying in icy conditions carries a decidedly higher degree of risk than trying to taxi on a slippery pavement. The limitation of two-dimensional travel and slow travel speed make a significant difference - and to be honest, passengers are likely to better grasp the issues of ground ice after experiencing their own challenges navigating ice-impacted streets and highways en route to the airport. The challenges of iced ramps, runways and taxiways are nonetheless capable of keeping aircraft grounded. In the event that a passenger challenges an ice-based ‘no-go’ decision, when citing the aircraft's approval for flying into known icing (FIKI) conditions, remember this point: An aircraft's approval for flight into known icing signals an aircraft's approval for exposure to transient icing conditions. For the majority of Business Aviation flying with FIKI approval should involve transiting clouds between runways and the clear cruising altitudes at the most. A little explanation to those challenging a ‘no-go’ or a delay decision should reveal clearly that FIKI is not a solution for what happens to an aircraft's unprotected surfaces when exposed to icing conditions for longer periods of time.

ABOUT IN-FLIGHT ICING Speaking as a pilot with more time flying unprotected aircraft than aircraft with antiice systems, only one other type of weather engenders a more-rapid escape response than icing conditions: Lightning. At the first hint that we may have entered the ‘Ice Palace’ we turn for the exit, which may be lower, higher, or a 180 degree turn. At the same time, we reach for the FIKI system. Systems that underpin flight into known icing conditions – whether anti-ice or de-ice – do a great job fighting ice on the surfaces they protect. Those surfaces are the ones that lift the aircraft; give it directional stability; protect engine breathing; and protect certain other sensors. But that leaves much of the airframe unprotected. The fuselage lacks any ice-fighting protection, save for its probes or indicator inputs such as an angle-of-attack sensor or pitot tube. While the FIKI system happily does its job and an aircraft may keep enough flying surface ice-free to fly close to normally, those airframe sections lacking protection continue to accumulate ice for as long as the aircraft remains exposed to sub-freezing temperatures and moisture. The only solution is to escape – whatever that takes. Most commonly pilots face transiting icing conditions after departure and on approach. On departure it helps to know where the icing layer stops before departing. Then the pilot can calculate the exposure time to expect and make an informed decision on whether to fly or not. Pilots on approaches should know ahead of time whether the standard terminal arrival (STAR) will take them through icing, and likewise calculate the duration of their exposure. Pilots should consider refusing a hold that keeps them flying the racetrack in icing conditions – or at least a hold longer than a www.AVBUYER.com
couple of minutes - before heading to warmer and/or drier airspace. Even getting a straight-through approach can put the aircraft at risk of excess weight due to ice accumulation when the layer is so thick and the ice is accumulating so quickly that transiting a 10,000-foot-thick layer translates to 7-10 minutes picking up ice everywhere unprotected by a FIKI system.
ANTI-ICE VERSUS DE-ICE Systems capable of qualifying an aircraft for FAA- or EASA-approved FIKI come in two basic forms, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Ideally, a blend of each system's strengths would best serve the flying community, but weight, cost and performance considerations all factor into the choices planemakers make when selecting an airframe-icing protection system. Anti-ice systems offer a degree of protection against ice forming. In many cases they provide an element of protection for surfaces adjacent to the areas they protect. Heat and weeping-surface technologies stand at the head of this group. Transportcategory aircraft typically employ heat for wing and tail surface leading edges to prevent ice formation; the residual heat and temperature change from water run-off help extend their protection area further aft than the immediate leading-edge areas. De-icing, however, by changing the shape of the leading-edge surfaces, offers a solution excellent for removing ice already formed – as well as helping prevent buildup. The system most-commonly used for this approach is the inflatable de-icing boot that's attached to the leading edges of protected surfaces. Used per the Pilot Operating Handbook, de-icing boots not only remove ice that exists on the leading edges, they also prevent build-up behind where the boots end. December 2014 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

WINTER FLIGHT SAFETY: ICE Regardless of the system, however, the limitations detailed remain very much in play, and of concern. Avoidance remains the safest alternative – avoidance by exiting if already embraced.
TRACTION IN GROUND TRANSPORTATION Unlike most modes of transportation aircraft thrust manifests itself directly from the engine. But aircraft generally lack drive systems in their wheels; they need no wheel-toground traction for take-off acceleration, leaving the main reason aircraft tires need traction as directional control. On a slippery surface, an engine can move the airplane in the direction opposite the thrust employed. But without traction between wheels and Earth the pilot faces a major challenge steering the machine – at least until moving fast enough for aerodynamic surfaces to work. Conditions that sheath ice onto the ground, ramps, runways, hangar doors, cabs and tugs also begin to coat aircraft the instant they're exposed to them. Between the traction issue and the exposure issue, dealing with ice on the ground may add lengthy delays to your flying schedule – possibly even forcing a new decision. The safest decision, in general: Don't fly. Let's look at the two separate issues and what's involved in dealing with them. A sheet of ice coating a ramp, a taxiway or runway leaves the aircraft free to ‘weather vane’ in any winds, with engine thrust and rudder being the only control inputs with a possibility of success. From first-hand experience we can testify to the discomfort of trying to turn a tricycle-geared aircraft off a runway with ice that is three-inches thick, and onto a taxiway leading to a ramp where engine heat melted ice enough to confirm that the threeinch thickness of the runway was better than the four-inch coating on the ramp. “We didn't treat the ramps as much as we did the runway,” the FBO manager confessed. “Eventually we stopped trying; we could not keep up – and we wanted to save the ice
106
AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
melt to speed solar removal...” The product of a 16-hour ice storm, the coatings not only made ground maneuvering difficult, it also sealed shut access doors to dozens of hangars – and more than a few airplanes left out in the freezing precipitation. Fortunately, a tug with chains was able to meet us at the intersection of the runway and taxiway; we shut down and let the tug take us to the ramp for fuel. A dozen aircraftworth of delayed crew and passengers were packed into the FBO lobby, the flight planning lounge, the break room and another room usually used for ground instruction. Some of those lamented that their aircraft were ice-free and clean, ready to go – but, unfortunately, trapped behind ice-sealed hangar doors. Others took turns trying to remove three to four inches of accumulated ice from the aircraft they had left parked outside the day before. Hair dryers, antifreeze, deicing fluid...you name it, they employed it. But with temperatures headed into singledigit territory some of their tools stopped working. After five hours they ended their efforts with only one wing cleared – about two thirds of the way...on top. “This was a waste of time and hypothermia,” one pilot confessed. “The ramp people warned me – I should've listened and saved everyone the risks of the drive.” After fueling, the tug gently positioned us into the wind, just off the departure runway, and kindly waited to make sure we'd get an engine start. The OAT was 5 by that point. After a little wind started us sliding toward a runway edge we eased up the power, stepped on the rudder pedal and got the directional correction we needed to align with the runway – and we continued adding power to reach a speed that gave all the aerodynamic surfaces input into our direction. The potential for airborne ice behind us, getting into the chilled night air was a welcome relief from the feeling of no control that accompanied our landing two hours earlier.

RUNWAY FRICTION REPORTS The terminology differs between objective measurements of runway friction and the information delivered to pilots via NOTAM, weather reports and pilot briefings. One reason is that not all airports have the special equipment needed to actively sample the runway. Those airports lacking friction-testing equipment depend on the reports of recently landed pilots. The ratings used are: ‘good’, ‘fair’, ‘poor’, ‘nil’, or some combination of those terms. Pilots should ask for a categorization of braking action should the pilot or airport management use terms other than those foregoing labels. Look for information on the type of problem – ice, snow, packed-snow, slush – and the type of aircraft from which the report originated. A Citation X may give itself more latitude for a “Fair” surface than a wide-body airliner, even though both could be operating under FAR 23. And in a recent move, the FAA made clear that a report of ‘Nil’ means ‘Zero Braking Friction’ and that runway should consequently be closed. Landing on an ice rink could be no less appealing than a runway with ‘Nil’ braking friction.
DELAY OF GAME Remember, it’s better arriving a day late than it being forever lamented that you tried and failed in the face of hostile icing conditions. Maybe the problem is as localized as getting from hangar to runway; maybe it's a problem of transiting icing conditions inflight – conditions capable of challenging the limitations of whatever anti-ice or de-ice equipment the airplane employs. The issue may be as localized as freeing the airframe from any hint of ice or frost. Maybe the de-icing truck's not yet in service; maybe the fluid is gone – or the heater has malfunctioned. Leaving with any degree of ice can be as quickly fatal as lingering too long in ice before landing. Neither is an option that any pilot or passenger should accept. ■

MODERNIZING YOUR AIRCRAFT
Modernizing Your Aircraft (Part 2) Quality - Schedule - Cost. by Kevin Hoffman n last month’s article we sought to answer how you decide whether to modernize and upgrade your aircraft or hit the ‘reset button’, purchasing a new asset equipped with the latest technology and up-to-date authorization on all regulatory issues. Assuming you’ve elected to upgrade, following are some of the key issues to consider with respect to Quality, Schedule and Cost. Each project’s ultimate Cost is directly affected by the desired Quality and completion Schedule. Ideally, we would like to be in the middle of a triangle with each of these
I
108
AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
three factors at one of the points – but just how realistic is that? Quality is a difficult subject to understand and even more difficult to measure. What makes a quality product? Can you design quality into a product? Who measures quality, and on what standard should it be based? When judging quality, the place to start is by understanding the areas and dynamics required to create a quality product.
DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION Design and the specification are key components in securing a quality upgrade, and these are governed by: www.AVBUYER.com
Aircraft Index see Page 4
Modernizing Your Bizjet Dec14_Finance 18/11/2014 12:43 Page 2

Design and Installation practices and procedures. The aircraft upgrade specification should include very detailed information covering Design and Installation procedures, Quality Control and Inspections, Documentation, Quality and Certification as well as pre-delivery inspections. Conformity to the specification. Conformity means obtaining the exact interior you specified. This is a tedious, time-consuming process, but it can help avoid items ‘falling through the cracks’ because people rushed to deliver the aircraft or the work was completed based on out-of-date drawings. Conformity requires that someone stays on top of all drawings and specification revisions to ensure that changes are addressed in an efficient manner.
INSPECTIONS Continuous inspections covering every aspect of the upgrade process, and especially during certain key phases, are critical to securing quality in the finished product. Inspection areas should include items such as the seats and leather, the seat build-up, as well as the cabinetry at all phases of build – starting with the basic monument build, through the veneer lay-up, the inspection following the varnishing, and finally inspecting the cabinetry for “fit, form and function”. As an example, simply making sure adequate time is allowed for the veneer and varnish to cure (avoid cracks) can prevent costly problems down the road – sometimes a year or more following completion of the work.
management-team supervising the project. This team’s expertise should include various disciplines and specific skill sets. Furthermore, since they represent the owner’s interest, the management team should be physically present at the modification center to oversee the work with a positive, win-win approach that balances high-quality with a timely delivery. The cost of any upgrade project depends upon the scope of work and, to a lesser extent, the delivery timeframe. As an owner, you need to have as many details as possible planned out in advance – before the aircraft enters the process. This means obtaining a detailed scope of work outlining everything including the specification, design, bill of materials, options and service bulletins to install, as well as additional work related to updated certification requirements, etc. This critical step in the refurbishment process is likely to require a great deal of work, but the details are important to gain a solid understanding of the cost and project schedule.
CRITICAL QUESTIONS Do people expect to pay more for higher quality and does quality trump schedule and cost? Based on our experience with customer expectation, quality is always the primary driver until either the schedule becomes unacceptable or the cost reaches the point of diminishing returns. How should you approach this discussion with the aircraft’s owner, your project management team and the service facility? The answers come down to the owner’s expectations, the level of quality they expect, the price
they are willing to pay, and the time it will take to deliver the final product. If it were available, everyone would want the highest level of quality completed in the shortest time-frame – free of charge. Realistically, an owner can, and should, expect a very high level of quality; should be willing to sacrifice some time; and perhaps incur some additional cost, in order to obtain the desired quality. How much additional time and cost is a decision the owner must make, and the point of diminishing returns is often the ultimate limiter.
ALIGNING EXPECTATIONS When a project suffers a cost and/or schedule overrun, the primary culprit is usually the difference between what the client expected to receive and what the facility understood the client wanted. The process of balancing Quality, Schedule and Cost can be complicated. Professional guidance and assistance in this area is critical to ensure the owner’s expectations are met, if not exceeded. Fortunately, there are entities that can expertly guide you, and ultimately your aircraft, through an upgrade process. They can also help owners determine if their quality expectations are reasonable, or even realistic, and can usually save their clients more money than the fee they charge – not to mention reducing the owner’s stress during the upgrade process. ❯ Kevin Hoffman is President & CEO, Aerospace Concepts. More from www.aerospaceconcepts.com Email: khoffman@aerospaceconcepts.com ■
WORK ENVIRONMENT Work environment and ambient conditions vary between modification facilities. Is the facility visibly ‘quality conscious’, or are inspectors willing to sign their name to a substandard product? Do they have the latest state-of-the-art paint and spray booths? If not, how are they compensating for this shortfall? In general, modification facilities have extremely good working conditions and skilled staff who take great pride in their work. It is, however, naive to think that all modification centers are equal.
THE OWNER’S EXPECTATIONS A key area of quality is understanding the aircraft owner’s expectations and delivering, if not exceeding them. This is an area where an experienced program management group that understands an owner’s expectations and the facility’s capabilities can effectively guide the upgrade process.
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT TEAM Quality is highly dependent on the program Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

PILOT FATIGUE MANAGEMENT
Combatting Pilot Fatigue: Adapting commercial FRMS to business aircraft operations. by Mario Pierobon n both sides of the Atlantic new requirements have been published for commercial air operators to implement Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) into their flight and duty times. For now, only scheduled carriers are mandated to consider fatigue risks (no such requirements exist for non-scheduled ondemand commercial operations with a maximum seating configuration of 19 or less), emergency medical services, and single-pilot commercial airplane operations. In the US, FAR Part 117 that addresses pilot fatigue in

the cockpit also excludes cargo airline operations from mandatory compliance. Although these requirements are not mandatory for Business Aviation operators, fatigue remains a major issue. Business jet operators with an IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) registration in place are required to have a Safety Management System (SMS) - part of which requires identification of safety hazards and managed related risks. Flight-crew fatigue may in fact be more of an issue in Business Aviation than in Commercial Aviation (where schedules tend www.AVBUYER.com
to be planned well in advance). Business aircraft operations are characterised by an inherently unpredictable schedule, and thus the cumulative effects of fatigue are different to those of commercial airlines. Periods of flying outside the standard limits and allowances that are imposed on commercial operators are not necessarily offset by the lower number of hours typically flown over the course of a year by business aircraft operators. Business Aviation operators undertake a far wider variety of missions than the pilot of a Scheduled Airline. For example, pilots of a business aircraft Aircraft Index see Page 4

Moreover, in a flight department operating multiple aircraft, they could alternate their flying duties between a variety of aircraft types – some being more labor intensive than others. So on aggregate, while a corporate pilot may be less exposed to the risk of fatigue resulting from actual hours flown, they may well be more exposed per single unit of production (i.e. when a flight is undertaken a corporate pilot experiences more fatigue, stress and liability). Thus it is worth considering what these new fatigue risk management requirements actually imply, even though Business Aviation pilots are not currently governed by them.
FRMS OUTLINE EASA AIR OPS at ORO.FTL.120 (the requirement is similar in scope to FAR Part 117.7 and 117.9) states that the FRMS established, implemented and maintained is to provide for continuous improvement to the overall performance of the FRMS. The system is to include: Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
A description of the philosophy and principles of the operator with regard to Fatigue Risk Management (FRM), referred to as the FRM policy; Documentation of the FRM processes, including making personnel aware of their responsibilities and the procedure for amending this documentation; Scientific principles and knowledge; A hazard identification and risk-assessment process that allows managing the operational risk(s) of the operator arising from crew member fatigue on a continuous basis; A risk mitigation process that provides for remedial actions to be implemented promptly, which are necessary to effectively mitigate the operator’s risk(s) arising from crew member fatigue and for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the mitigation of fatigue risks achieved by such actions; FRM safety assurance processes; and FRM promotion processes.
The FRMS is to correspond to the flighttime specification scheme, the size of the operator and the nature and complexity of its activities, taking into account the hazards and associated risks inherent in those activities and the applicable flight-time specification scheme. The operator is to take mitigating actions when the FRM safety assurance process shows that the required safety performance is not maintained.
FRM GUIDANCE FRM clearly embraces the SMS framework for safety management and how an FRMS is meant to be a specific function within an air operator’ SMS, with focus on the hazard of flight crew fatigue and its consequences. Corporate flight departments interested in managing the risk of fatigue more proactively may find useful guidance in the acceptable means of compliance and guidance materials within ORO.FTL.120 in EASA AIR OPS and/or FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120103A. Guidance may also be found in the FRMS Implementation Guide jointly released by www.AvBuyer.com
ICAO, IATA and IFALPA in 2011, although it should be remembered that these materials have been developed for use by the commercial airlines. The core of the requirements and of the guidance materials is that scientific methods be used to monitor and manage crew fatigue levels. These methods include bio-mathematical fatigue models, and software models used as practical tools for estimating work-related fatigue associated with shift workers’ duty schedules. In tailoring models developed for commercial airlines for your own flight department, the cumulative effects specific to business aircraft operations need to be taken into account. There will be a need to sample a number of days for performance monitoring. The longterm fatigue, based on the number of flight hours and the number of flying days in a month and annually needs to be factored when setting short-term limits for flight operations over a 24- or 48-hour period. Waiting and standby times as well as the effect of time zone changes (to determine the reference for WOCL hours) must also be taken into consideration by the Business Aviation operator. Help is always at hand if you are seeking to adapt FRMS to your own operations. The use of a good safety consultant could prove a worthwhile investment in the long-run as you seek to take preventative measures against the effects of fatigue within your flight department.

MEBAA: A Platform to Voice Regional Business Aviation Concern. ith the sixth Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) event scheduled for December 8-10, we offer a brief overview of the region’s Business Aviation association. MEBAA, acronym for Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association, was created in 2006 by a small group of sixteen Founding Members with the core objective of promoting orderly growth of Business Aviation in the Middle East and North African Region. Headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, MEBAA has grown rapidly from a humble beginning to register an impressive presence on all fronts. Membership comprising Operators, MROs, FBOs, Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Aviation Regulatory Authorities had reached

ALI AL NAQBI FOUNDING CHAIRMAN MEBAA
230 as of mid-November 2014. The Association has organized and implemented five editions of the MEBA Show, with the sixth MEBA set to begin on the 8th of December 2014. In addition to addressing critical issues such as the grey market and advocacy for Business Aviation from its HQ location in Dubai, MEBAA has hosted more than half a dozen Business Aviation Conferences in locations such as Jordan, Jeddah, Bahrain, Marrakesh, Beirut and Riyadh. The Association also promoted and lobbied for the first exclusive airport in the region dedicated to Business Aviation, Abu Dhabi Executive.
ORGANIC GROWTH MEBAA's growth since its beginning has www.AVBUYER.com
been organic in nature, with due prioritizing of many activities that provide orderliness and stability for the Business Aviation community within the region. Hence, the Association has addressed the issue of governing documents like bylaws, policies and procedures and legal registration as per the governing laws of United Arab Emirates. Next in line was entry into the global arena through membership of the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC). Closer co-ordination with peer associations in the industry like NBAA and EBAA provided the right impetus and confidence to commence the Association’s journey towards attaining its goals. MEBA Show 2007, though modest in size and content, gave the Association the necessary confidence to move further, and by conAircraft Index see Page 4

trast, the MEBA Show 2012 (the first major event to be staged at the custom built Dubai Air Show site at Dubai World Central at Jebel Ali, Dubai) saw an impressive turnout of 7,549 trade visitors, over 50 Rulers of the Region and other members of the Royal Families, a huge assemblage of 338 Exhibitors from over 45 countries, a static display of 45 aircraft, an exhibition area of 67,117 square meters and the attendance of 338 media personnel. MEBA Show 2014 is expected to better these numbers, thus securing the MEBA Show as the third biggest Business Aviation conference and exhibition behind NBAA’s BACE and EBAA’s EBACE.
MEMBER INTERESTS Today, the prime focus and thrust of all MEBAA activities is to keep the Members’ interest and benefit as its primary goal. With many of the Members’ concerns, be it with any governmental regulatory authority, unreasonable cost of services at any of the region’s airports, or airport access issues in troubled locations such as Iraq, MEBAA has taken the issue to the right quarters to arrive at an amicable resolution. Marshalling the collective needs and demands of Members, MEBAA has successfully launched many programs - such as the Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
MEBAA Aviation Insurance Scheme (MAIS) in association with reputed insurance agencies within the region, Emergency Response Systems (ERS) with Kenyon, and IS-BAO training/consultancy.
MEBAA CONFERENCE The Association is promoting balanced growth of MEBAA activities in the entire Middle East and North African Region, and facilitating regional events such as Middle East & North Africa Business Aviation Association Conference (MEBAA Conference) to provide meeting/networking opportunities for all its Members. Topics addressed in such conferences range from airworthiness regulatory reforms, illegal flights, risk perception/management, industry progress forecast, contemporary safety and security issues, and political developments within the region as well as neighboring areas. MEBAA’s forums have been well-attended, and the proceedings of these events are acclaimed to offer a high educational content.
FLY AND FEED In order to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among Members, MEBAA in collaboration with World Food Program (WFP) - a United Nations www.AvBuyer.com
Humanitarian organization - launched the Fly and Feed scheme to coordinate the contributions from the customers of Members and from Members themselves to fight global hunger. This Scheme is just taking off, and the initial response has been encouraging. MEBAA is an active member of IBAC, and has made its contribution in many activities like emission control and safety issues. It organizes regular IS-BAO training sessions in the region that evoke encouraging response from Members. The Association is also a regular participant at the BACE and EBACE conventions to maintain a personal touch with its peer associations. Growth of MEBAA in such a short period of eight years is spectacular, but at the same time the Association is aware that maintaining such growth has its own challenges. Nevertheless, the Membership is confident that MEBAA has the necessary momentum to meet such challenges, especially under the able and inspiring leadership of its Founding Chairman Mr. Ali Al Naqbi, who has been steering MEBAA since inception in 2006. Further growth plans of MEBAA have been developed and will be revealed at MEBA Show 2014 in Dubai.

Middle East Business Aviation Overview How many Business Jets are in operation in the Middle East today? by MichaelTABLE Chase & Marj Rose A – Fleet by Country ith the Middle East Business Aviation Conference (MEBA) scheduled to be held in Dubai from December 8-10, 2014, now would be a good time to review the current business aircraft market in the Middle East countries. According to JETNET records, there are currently 529 business jets in operation in the Middle East countries. Table A (right) shows that Saudi Arabia has the largest number of business jets within the region with 120, followed by Turkey with 110 and United Arab Emirates with 92. Combined these three countries account for 61% of all the business jets throughout the Middle East countries. Looking at the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) of the business jets currently operating in the region, Textron, Bombardier and Gulfstream combined have a 358 unit share (or 68%) of the 529 Middle Eastern aircraft fleet, as illustrated in Table B (right).
W
MIDDLE EASTERN BIZJET DELIVERIES During the 16 year period since 1999, 418 (or 79%) of the 529 units that comprise the Middle Eastern business jet fleet have been delivered (Chart A top, far right). That represents an average of 26 business jets delivered each year into the region – although looking at the specific data for each year, 2009 represented the peak delivery year at 61 units being delivered into the region. Looking at model-specifics, the single largest number of business jets that are in operation today by model within the Middle East is the Challenger 605 with 27 units. Table C (center, far right) shows the ‘Top 5’ business jet aircraft models in the region. Note: All of these aircraft are from the largecabin/long-range category.

During the recent annual National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) Convention in Orlando, FL, it was reported that several new large-cabin, long range business jets are being planned in the future. Adding to the mix of the previously-announced Bombardier Global 7000 and 8000 and Gulfstream’s 650ER are the G500 and G600. We expect these announcements will result in new orders being placed during December’s MEBA. However, new aircraft orders are based on the health of the preowned aircraft market. Questions about the recovery still linger. With the first three quarters of 2014 behind us, a common feeling is that we are on track with the recent GAMA Shipment report (9.3% increase on 2013). Business jets have shown a strong start in the first 3Q of 2014 with a 12.1% increase in pre-owned sale transactions (per JETNET data), and are taking less time to sell (-43 days) than last year, with an 10.4% decrease in average asking price. “Fleet For Sale” percentages for business jets were down in the September comparisons. This is the lowest percentage (11.6%) for business jets that we have seen since this recession began. However, the total number of pre-owned business jets for sale is still above the 2,300 mark. Among the countries of the Middle East, there are currently 56 or 10.6% of the business jets ‘For Sale’ of the 529 in operation. Gulfstream and Hawker models account for 50% of the Pre-owned business jets currently ‘For Sale’, as represented in Table D (left).
MIDDLE EAST FLEET SUMMARY The Middle East countries have proven highly resilient through the recent global downturn, and this is a good sign for Business Aviation. We expect to see further growth that will coincide with their economic expansion, and naturally we will continue to monitor the Middle East countries’ business aircraft activity through future articles. ❯ For more information: • Michael Chase is president of Chase & Associates, and can be contacted at 1628 Snowmass Place, Lewisville, TX 75077; Tel: 214-226-9882; Web: www.mdchase.com

If your primary measure of the market is based on its economic size, the business jet market is doing great right now, with the 10-year outlook getting tantalizingly close to the $300Bn figure Honeywell forecast in 2008 – just before the economic meltdown that sent the market into free fall. Alternatively, if you regard unit deliveries as the barometer for market health, this year’s Honeywell Forecast can be viewed as marking the beginning of a long and slow recovery after five years of decline. For the first time since 2008, the unit delivery forecast in Honeywell’s 10-year outlook is larger than it was a year ago. The increase is a small one – just 200 units above the 9,250 jet deliveries Honeywell forecast for the 2013-2023 period – but it marks the first time in six years that Honeywell has foreseen an upward trend.
The reality of the market’s condition lies somewhere in between, and is defined in the sub-text of Honeywell’s news release providing details of its forecast: Large cabin jets are expected to account for up to 46 percent of new jet purchases in the next five years. Honeywell doesn’t provide detail beyond the five-year range, but based on its accompanying chart outlining the 10-year market trend, the vast majority of growth in the market is expected for medium-sized jets and above. The light-medium, light and very light categories are expected to remain flat while medium and above could constitute 66-75 percent of the market by 2024.

1000 Very High Speed - Ultra Long Range Aircraft Units
Mike Potts reviews the similarities and differences between Honeywell, Embraer and JETNET’s recent Business Aviation market forecasts. The latest Honeywell Global Business Aviation Forecast is predicting a 10-year market for 9,450 new business jets worth $280 billion in the period 2014 to 2024. In the near-term, Honeywell believes the jet market this year will total 650-675 units this year, with unit deliveries slowly rising in each successive year, topping 1,000 annual deliveries in the 2023-24 timeframe. Honeywell’s new outlook represents a 2.16 percent gain in unit deliveries and an approximately 7-8 percent increase in projected delivery value. Viewed in the context of recent years, there are two underlying and somewhat conflicting messages, depending on your point of view:

~9,450 Aircraft from 2014 - 2024
In terms of deliveries, Honeywell does not expect the market to reach 800 units until the 2017-18 timeframe, and doesn’t believe we’ll see a 1,000-unit year until 2023-24. The record of 1,313 jet deliveries set in 2008 might never be broken, with that milestone perhaps fading into history as a one-time pinnacle never to be seen again, much like the 17,811 unit peak for piston aircraft deliveries in 1978…
BUYING EXPECTATIONS Compared with recent years, Honeywell reports that buying expectations are down. Among the operators Honeywell surveyed for the latest forecast, purchase expectations in the coming five years totaled about 23 percent of their current fleets. In last year’s forecast, purchase expectations were at 28 percent, and had been steady at that level for the previous four years. Honeywell noted that purchase expectations prior to 2006 were typically at 25 percent or less and only recently trended upward, so this year’s 23-percent level isn’t alarming. Of the new-jet purchase plans, 19 percent are expected by the end of 2015; 14 percent in 2016; and 22 percent in 2017, with the remainder not specifically allocated by year. This represents a drop from last year, when the three-year outlook called for purchases at 19 www.AVBUYER.com
percent in the first year and 22 percent in each of the next two years. Based on this data Honeywell anticipates slightly reduced near-term demand, but notes that pre-sold positions of new models entering service in 2015-16 should help to offset any reduction. Notwithstanding the decreasing share they play in Honeywell’s predicted overall market for the coming decade, the company says mid-size and smaller jets recovered some share in this year’s forecast for the first time in several years. It ascribes some of this renewed interest, which it did not quantify, to new models expected to enter service in the next 2-3 years.
BY REGION Not surprisingly North America is expected to account for 59 percent of the worldwide demand for business jets over the next five years. This represents a slight reduction from the past two years when the North American market was expected to represent as much as 61 percent. This is far different from the time prior to the 2008 financial meltdown when demand from the rest of the world seemed to be on the rise and it was thought that the North American share would total less than 50 percent by now. The ‘rest of the world’ today includes EuAircraft Index see Page 4

~9,830 AIRCRAFT FROM 2014 - 2023 rope (18 percent), Latin America (17 percent), Asia/Pacific (3 percent) and Africa and the Middle East (3 percent). Honeywell began highlighting the BRIC nations – Brazil, Russia, India and China – in 2011 because their reported acquisition rates far exceeded the other regional markets. Last year their purchase expectation rate was 42 of their existing fleets. This year it is down to 29 percent – still well ahead of the worldwide fleet average of 23 percent, but not by such a wide margin. Honeywell believes Brazil still has the highest rate for any current nation, but did not specify. Of the planned purchases in the BRIC countries, 45 percent are expected to come in the next two years.
Honeywell’s and Embraer’s outlook lies in where the sales are expected to occur, with the Brazilian company expecting a much larger percentage of sales to come from outside the United States. Embraer forecasts that 50 percent of new jets sales (4,620 units) will come in the North American market (US/Canada), which will account for 45 percent of the billings ($120 billion). The next largest segment includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which
Embraer expects constitute 26 percent of deliveries (2,360 units) and 29 percent of the billings ($77 billion). The Asia/Pacific Rim market is forecast to purchase 570 units or six percent of the market, worth $19 billion. Embraer sees China as a separate market that it believes will account for an additional 835 aircraft, totaling 9 percent of the market and valued at $33 billion. JETNET iQ, meanwhile, believes the market will be a little bigger than either Honeywell or Embraer expects, with 9,830 business jet deliveries worth $260 billion for the period 20142023. Some of JETNET’s increase is tied to the fact that it recognizes the personal jet segment of the market, which Honeywell discounts. JETNET also believes the lighter end of the jet market, featuring jets up to the mid-size category, will recover sooner and account for more sales than Honeywell anticipates. JETNETs forecast, which was issued at the end of October, also anticipates a somewhat earlier recovery than Honeywell expects. It outlines business jet totals should climb above 800 units by 2016, a level Honeywell doesn’t expect until a year or two later. JETNET expects the market to be above 1,000 units by 2019 and above 1,100 by 2021, while Honeywell isn’t expecting the market to reach 1,000 units until 2023. The JETNET forecast is based on a rolling survey of about 500 operators around the world conducted every 90 days, so at the end of a year a total of about 2,000 operators have contributed their input. This is similar to Honeywell’s methodology which involves conducting interviews with more than 1,500 non-fractional business jet operators as part of its annual data collection, as well as macro-economic analysis, jet manufacturers development plans and discussions with industry experts.

This second consecutive growth month leaves the 2014 trend very slightly below that of 2013. October’s activity illustrated a strong recovery in activity in Western Europe, with UK and Germany the leading markets. Flights also picked up slightly in other large markets such as France, Spain and Switzerland. The positive growth picture in the west was overshadowed by continued decline to the east, with activity tumbling in the former ‘growth’ markets of Russia, Ukraine and Turkey. Overall, flights between Europe and the CIS slumped 23% in October. The jet fleet’s activity grew slightly in October, and the YTD trend suggests this market is finally in recovery. Turboprop activity is gaining much faster this year, mostly due to private flight activity, which was 12% up YOY in October. Business piston activity was particularly strong in Germany, +20% YOY, whereas for France and Netherlands, turboprops boosted growth, and in the UK and Spain, most of the growth was business jet related. Very Light jets and Ultra Long Range jets continued their YTD increase in activity. The lightest aircraft were in demand, with turboprops and pistons also flying more. The midsize segment continues to lag, but light jets made a slight YOY recovery. Richard Koe, Managing Director of WINGX Advance, summarized, “The long-awaited recovery in Business Aviation activity in Europe looks well set in Western Europe...Private flights, particularly on turboprops and pistons, are leading this comeback in activity. The overall YOY increase is narrow due to the continued negative repercussions of the Ukraine crisis. Unfortunately this situation will not improve any time soon.” MI www.wingx-advance.com
Used Aircraft Transactions Climb In the first nine months of 2014, 3,487 pre-owned business aircraft changed hands, up from 3,429 in the same period last year, according to Carmel, Indiana-based aircraft broker Holstein Aviation. Though used inventory continued to decrease, “The marketplace still defies accurate prediction by often moving contrary to what traditionally is considered conventional inventory availability and price behavior,” Holstein notes. While more than one-third of the business aircraft models that Holstein tracks had inventory and average asking price increases and decreases in a manner that supports traditional supply and economic theory, half experienced inventory and value moving in the same direction. The remaining 12 percent had no change in

inventory, but rising or falling average asking price split nearly equally. Across the fleet, pre-owned business aircraft average asking prices ranged from a 13.2-percent increase to a 34.7-percent decrease, depending on the model. “Inventory decreased for more than half of the pre-owned aircraft we track, while 35 percent saw more airplanes come onto the market,” Holstein summarized. “Ten models had no change in inventory. Average days on the market for business jets last month fell by 15 from a year ago, to 494 days. Turboprops also moved more quickly, selling last month in 528 days versus 551 a year ago.” MI www.holsteinaviation.com

After the better part of a decade in the doldrums, the General Aviation industry is finally expected to improve noticeably next year, predicts BRIFO’s Brian Foley. “I have a deep conviction that 2015 will be the indisputable pivot point when the industry, including its laggard segments, turns meaningfully upward,” Foley notes. For some seven years now the market has had a split personality with deliveries of the largest, most expensive business jets relatively unscathed by the great recession, while small- and medium-sized jets experienced a sales decline of two-thirds from which they have yet to recover. After many fits and starts there are several key elements falling into place that tell Foley a measurable improvement is imminent across the board. He likes what he sees in the way of industry metrics. Pre-owned jet inventories, which provide a cheaper alternative to new aircraft, are at their lowest levels since 2008. According to aviation data provider AMSTAT, a greater percentage of the active fleet of business jets transacted in the first nine months of 2014 than in the first nine months in any year within the last decade. Business jet take-off and landing activity is the busiest in six years, a sign that companies and individuals are flying more. And jet OEM executives, normally reserved, have been more upbeat lately. For perspective, the active US business jet fleet is five times the size of the next largest market. Now the US economic situation is greatly improved, with GDP growth in the past six months the best in a decade, stock markets hitting record levels and consumer confidence at seven-year highs. “Add to that the lowest oil prices in 4 years which reduces plane operating costs, and historically low interest rates from which aircraft loan and lease rates are derived and you’ve painted a great scenario for an allencompassing rebound,” Foley adds.

declines in sale transactions YTD at -3.8% and -13.5%, respectively. Turbine helicopters recorded a modest decrease in average asking price, down -0.2% in the YTD comparisons through September 2014. All market segments showed decreasing asking prices compared to last year. Commercial jet (including airliners converted to VIP) YTD sale transactions (at 1,334) are trailing business jets. However, both sectors have surpassed the 1,000 mark for YTD sale transactions – which is significant compared to other market segments. For the first nine months of 2014, there have been more than 5,800 pre-owned commercial and business jets, turboprops, and helicopters sold, with commercial jets and business jets leading all types. MI www.jetnet.com
Some very good news! In comparing September 2014 to September 2013, fleet “For Sale” percentages for business jets were down. This is the lowest percentage (11.6%) for business jets since the great recession began. However, the percentages in other markets remained the same or increased slightly in the same comparative period. Business jets are showing a strong start in the first nine months of 2014. Compared to last year, pre-owned sale transactions are up 12.1%, average asking price is down -10.4%, and they are taking 43 fewer days to sell. Business turboprop sale transactions, by contrast, decreased -16.1%, along with a double-digit decrease in asking price of -10.3%. Both turbine and piston helicopters saw

Continued Charter Market Recovery? Avinode predicts the recovery of the US business jet charter market will continue in 2015, with a 3.5% increase in flights over 2014 levels, while Europe will finally show modest growth (+1.6%). All regions of the US will see charter market growth in 2015: • The South is predicted to perform the strongest with an increase in flight numbers of 4%; • The West is projected to grow by 3.6%; • The North-East will see a 3.3% increase; • The Mid-West will record 2.5% growth. Niklas Berg, Avinode Group CEO, noted “This year, the US charter market has performed extraordinarily well...We expect that by the end of 2014, the US will see its highest annual levels of business jet travel for at least six years. Avinode forecasts Northern Europe, where demand is more related to business travel, to experience 2.8% market growth in 2015. Southern Europe, where flight activity is more leisure-related and the impact of Russia/Ukraine developments is more apparent, will see flight activity increase by only 0.8%. “After six years of decline, we expect the European market to finally move back into the black in 2015…[but reflect] a clear divide between improving conditions in the North and ongoing challenges in the South, plus ongoing uncertainty caused by geopolitical issues between Russia and the Ukraine, added Berg. “The region will take longer than the US to return to its pre-recession levels.” In the light jet category (including entry-level, light and super-light jets), US flights are projected to grow by 2.6% in 2015, driven mainly by a 12.5% increase in entry-level activity. In Europe, the light jet category will grow by only 0.5%, reflecting market share losses in light jets offset by 3.3% growth in entry-level jets. In the mid-size jet category (comprising midsize and super-midsize jets), flights will see US and European growth of 3.1% and 2.2% respectively. In the heavy jet category (comprising heavy and ultra-long-range jets), flight numbers are predicted to rise by 5.8% in the US and 3.5% in Europe, driven mainly by ultra-long-range jet flights, which will grow by 8.4% in the US and 8.1% in Europe.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2014
Recovery: Made In USA Can it be that we are approaching seven years since the onset of the US-led Great Recession? At long last, most indicators are strong, notes Rolland Vincent. With unprecedented choice, could it be that buyers - and the 50 Stars and Stripes - are aligning to power Business Aviation to its best year since 2008? From Vincent’s perspective, positive evidence is widespread: •
• •
•
•
•
US GDP growth in Q2 2014 was 4.6% on an annualized basis, the highest quarterover-quarter growth registered since Q1 2006. The Dow Jones is up 6.4% YOY to 16,400 despite recent setbacks and corrections. Money remains relatively cheap for those who can get it, with Federal rates remaining at just 0.25%. Consumers are feeling more confident the Thomson Reuter/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index was at 84.6 in September 2014 (versus 55.3 in November 2008), up from 73.2 in October 2013 and now edging close to its all-time high). On Main Street, the national unemployment rate was at 5.9% in September 2014, back to the level it was at in mid-2008. The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits was at a 14-year low in early October 2014. In corporate America, profits in Q2 2014 were a remarkable $2.1 trillion. Each of the last 17 quarters has registered stronger corporate profits than any other quarter prior to Q3 2010. (Profits in durable goods manufacturing (up 31% YOY) and in the oil/gas/coal sector (up 123% YOY) were particularly strong. Both industry sectors have traditionally been heavy users of business aircraft.)
With a solid economy bolstering confidence and corporate fortunes, FAA business jet cycles were up 3.9% through August on a YOY basis as entrepreneurial America pushes the throttles forward to the firewall once again. Overall business jet inventory for sale has now fallen below 12%, and is hovering around 8% for newer in-demand models built in the last 10 years. Business turboprop inventory is now below 8%, at pre-recessionary levels. With the exception of small-cabin business jets, there are numerous signals of strength. All OEMs are reporting that interest in purchasing has increased. Bombardier, which leads the industry in new business jet
www.AVBUYER.com
shipments and value, has built a strong backlog across most of its model line-up. Gulfstream deliveries climbed sharply in 2013 as the company worked through its G650 completion backlog and settles in for a long serial production run, bolstered already by the G650ER. The G500/G600 will eventually replace the G450/G550 and bolster a formidable product portfolio. Gulfstream, Dassault, Bombardier and Embraer are strongly positioned with allnew aircraft to encourage US customers to loosen their purse strings. Vincent expects that Embraer will enjoy another strong year with the Phenom 300 outpacing all other business jets in unit deliveries for the third year in a row. Textron Aviation stands to benefit as much as any with a recovery in US sales, particularly for the promising Citation Latitude mid-size jet. Other product announcements from Textron Aviation are anticipated soon, and at some point slow-moving production lines like the Citation Mustang, which not long ago were humming with orders from the owner-flown community will need addressing. Rather than “buyers beware”, today’s marketplace is perhaps better labelled as “buyers be blessed”. For those considering a purchase, the good news is that there are really no bad choices in a flock of offerings from the OEMs and dealer/broker community. Other than the G650, which continues to command pre-owned price premiums, terms continue to favour buyers in a sales negotiation, and value pricing remains the order of the day. All in all, Vincent expects a strong finish for the industry in 2014, with YOY increases in both new and pre-owned sales. 718 new business jets are forecast to have been delivered worldwide in 2014, up 6% YOY with values exceeding $22 billion on a list-price basis (average of $31m per airframe). As December approached, Vincent expected to see US corporations and entrepreneurs at the front of the line with their check books in hand to take advantage of year-end opportunities.

As civil operators progressively renew legacy helicopters, the new generation of platforms will increasingly face challenges-especially from a financial perspective because of stretched government budgets and irregular turnovers, a new study published by Frost & Sullivan claims. New operational requirements - such as overnight missions to distant locations - are dictating specific requirements, the study adds. Recent technology developments at the airframe, engine and system levels are empowering the new generation of helicopters to face such challenges and address operational efficiency. Furthermore, attractive business models will help ease the financial burden and cut costs. In essence, the study identifies that the civil helicopter market, which is analysed through new platform procurement and system integration revenue from 2013-2023, will be driven by the following main factors: •
•
•
•
•
•
Emerging countries are renewing and significantly increasing their helicopter fleets. Unmatched vertical take-off and landing capabilities overcome geographic constraints and improve operational efficiency, highlighted during critical para-public missions or commercial transport and utility services-notably in the oil and gas sector. New platforms and recent engine and aero-structure developments enable civil helicopters to carry heavier payloads and improve their endurance, which are enduser demands when renewing fleets. Safety regulations and financial concerns bolster demand for avionics across commercial and para-public markets. Adaptable, portable, and intuitive devices, notably for display and navigation, substantially affect demand. Fleet management, operational constraints, and scrutiny of life-cycle costs increase demand for smarter vehicle systems that predict maintenance and record the status of critical components and systems. Vehicle systems could represent a cumulative market size of at least $billion. Latin America, Central Asia and the Middle East will record market growth across the para-public and commercial segments.

In-Service Aircraft Technical Condition & Price
An Asset Insight Index analysis conducted on September 30, 2014 covering 76 fixed-wing models and 1,542 aircraft listed ‘For Sale’ revealed some improvements in the Overall Market asset quality compared to last month’s figures (see Table A). Maintenance Rating (ATC Score): Average Asset Technical Condition Score (an aircraft’s rating relative to its Optimal Maintenance Condition – achieved the day it came off the production line) experienced virtually no change, registering 5.425 from August’s 5.420, a Rating comfortably above the Mid-Time/Mid-Life 5.000 level – on the ATC Score scale of -5 to 10. Financial Rating (ATFC Score): Average Asset Technical Financial Condition Score (rating scheduled maintenance event cost associated with the aircraft ATC Score) posted the best figure of the past twelve months, rising 9.7 AI2 basis points, and climbing above the Mid-Time/Mid-Life 5.000 level (zero to 10 ATFC
Asset Exposure (ATFE Value): The average Asset Technical Financial Exposure Value (an aircraft’s accumulated maintenance financial exposure) improved by $57k, lowering the average aircraft’s accrued maintenance expense to $1.378 Million. That’s still above the 12-month average, but less than last month’s annual high figure of $1.435 Million. The impressive Ratings compiled by Large Jets allowed the group to retain first place relative to asset quality. Medium Jet figures were very good, placing them in second position, while Small Jets took the third spot with figures marginally above those achieved by Turboprops. Exposure to Price Ratio: Spread in the ratio of Asset Exposure to aircraft Ask Price (ETP Ratio) for the aircraft tracked narrowed a bit more this month, and the Overall Market average for aircraft tracked finally decreased slightly, from 47.2% to 46.8% (Table B). Anything over 40% represents excessive Asset Exposure in relation to aircraft Ask Price, so the ETP Ratio remains a concern. Even though Asset Exposure figures improved for all aircraft groups, average Ask Prices fell to their lowest level of the past twelve months, thereby muting a potentially greater ETP Ratio improvement.

Market Outlook Average Ask Price for the 76 aircraft models tracked by Asset Insight registered a 6.2% decrease this month to $5.51m, the lowest figure achieved during the past twelve months. By group, Large Jets Ask Prices fell 4.1% to $15.63m, Medium Jets were down 2.1% to $3.65m, Small Jets saw a 0.6% increase to $1.79m, and Turboprops reached a 12-month low figure of $1.63m by decreasing 0.2%. Asset quality generally improved for all groups this month. The Ratings improvement generated by Large Jets was good news, but we are certain that Sellers would have preferred to experience a price increase. Medium Jet figures were very good, but the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively high Asset Exposure value - although improved this month - continues to be its primary asset quality weak point. Turboprops achieved a substantive Asset Insight Index improvement, but that was coupled to a record low Ask Price. Therefore, while we expect quality assets to trade well during the fourth quarter transaction frenzy, the question nobody seems able to answer is: at what price?

Meanwhile, the prototype Falcon 5X is in final assembly and will use two new Snecma Silvercrest engines. The 5X, which will fly in 2Q 2015, has a wider cabin than the Falcon 7X, a top speed of Mach 0.9 and a 5,200nm range. First deliveries are scheduled for mid2017.
Embraer The first day of NBAA’s October BACE event saw Embraer accepting the FAA Type Certificate for its new 3,000nm Legacy 500. Making its first appearance was the Legacy 450 which is based on the 500, but with a shorter fuselage and a 2,500nm range. The Legacy 450 and 500 will be assembled at the company’s facility at Melbourne, Florida
where ground-breaking took place recently on a new assembly building. Meanwhile, Embraer has delivered more than 500 of its Phenom light jets in the past five years and the Phenom 300 captured 47% of the Light Jet market in 2013.
Textron Aviation The merger of Cessna and Beechcraft has moved forward rapidly since it was announced in January. The new Citation Latitude, made its debut at BACE, complete with a fully furnished interior.

Tri-Jets have earned a stellar reputation among owners and operators and usually command higher resale values than the competition. With efficient space management the Falcon 900 aircraft have a larger passenger seating area than the Gulfstream IV. These Tri-Jets weigh 15 tons less and are 22 feet shorter, providing a more beneficial ramp presence. The 900EX can speed across the Atlantic with all seats full at 0.84 IMN; and has 300 NM greater range than the Gulfstream IV-SP. Furthermore, the 900EX can fly from London to Kansas City, Buenos Aires to New Orleans and Anchorage to Seoul at 0.75 IMN with eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. Revolutionary and the world's first purpose built fly-by-wire (FBW) business jet, the Falcon 7X capitalizes on Mach 2 technology.
AVAILABLE: FALCON 900B
