PRE-OWNED FALCON

No one knows a pre-owned Falcon better than Dassault. We designed and built it. And when the time comes to deliver it to a new owner, we prepare it with the same care and support it with the same commitment as any new Falcon.

Because every Falcon and every Falcon owner are family.

Looking Ahead to 2018...

T

his month completes a year that experienced increasing demand for Business Aviation. Charter as well as corporate flying activities are posting more movements in Europe and the US. Transactions within the market for used aircraft have accelerated, albeit slowly. Optimists can find reasons to indulge in their favorite sport—looking for good news.

For market watchers who are less inclined to say the glass is half full, forecasts by respectable researchers suggest that a few more years will pass before the effects of the Great Recessions will be absorbed and Business Aviation will return to the frothy days of earlier this century.

We believe the good news outweighs the bad. Increasing activity levels are precursors to more sales of new and used aircraft. Technology advances, especially in the area of connectivity for passenger use in the cabin and crew efficiency in the cockpit, suggest an increasing demand for new equipment and upgrades of current aircraft.

Furthermore, we suggest that the general economies of many areas throughout the world are improving, thereby stimulating the need for companies to travel domestically and internationally in search of opportunities.

As long as business needs to explore new markets and expand existing activities, Business Aviation will grow.

Challenges Ahead

Certainly our community has challenges.

One that has resurfaced is a renewed call for privatizing the US air traffic control system. Voices within the US Republican Policy Committee as well as in Airlines for America, a lobby group representing scheduled air carriers, are calling for

passage of the privatization proposal offered by Representative Bill Shuster (RPA), chairman of the US House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Talking points being distributed by pro-privatization forces are being rather selective with their arguments, suggesting that great progress would be made if only ATC would be separated from the FAA. Overlooked are facts such as the progress that has taken place under FAA governance and the potential for higher budget deficits nationally if the suggested restructuring were to occur.

Business Aviation (including non-US registered business aircraft flying into the US) would be disadvantaged by privatization.

Reauthorization of the FAA expires March 31, 2018—just four months hence.

An unsettled US Administration and a divided Congress may not spend their time dealing with aviation, adding to the challenges facing our community.

Basis for Optimism Our belief in the intrinsic value of Business Aviation is the basis for our optimism. No other form of transportation can match the benefits that a business aircraft offers companies and entrepreneurs. Serving as an office that moves rapidly and on-demand, a company aircraft has no equal in the field of travel.

We welcome the year ahead and are confident that our community will continue its rebound to sustainable good times. The team at AvBuyer wishes you a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Business Aviation Market Summary As we enter the busiest month of the year for aircraft transaction activity, Rolland Vincent takes stock of the market today. What are the leading trends and indicators at the end of 2017…? ecember: The only month with about 32 days in it. At least, that’s how it seems when all of the year-end transactions are finalized, signed and registered…

In what always seems to be a rush to the finish, December will once again prove just how productive we can all be when it comes to facing the deadline to end all deadlines, namely year-end!

The Q3 2017 GAMA new aircraft shipments report was issued November 13, revealing a number of recent trends in production and delivery rates at the OEMs. Through three-quarters of 2017, the worldwide market for new business turbine aircraft (business jets and turboprops) is as flat as can be, with 808 shipments recorded by GAMA Year-to-Date (YTD), versus 810 for the same period last year.

While Mike Potts offers analysis of those numbers on p46 of this issue, following are some additional notes: Business jet shipments included a stronger Year-over-Year (YoY) performance from HondaJet, with 30 aircraft deliveries through Q3 2017 (versus 15 YTD in 2016), and we’re seeing the start of a production ramp-up for the single-engine

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Shipments from both Bombardier and Embraer through the first three quarters of 2017 were down 12% and 20% respectively, in Bombardier’s case in line with investor guidance.

Embraer tends to have a very back-end loaded delivery profile, with Q4 representing 37-38% of annual delivery units in both 2015 and 2016. If the same distribution holds true in 2017, the company will miss the low point of its investor guidance of 105-125 shipments in the year.

The brighter points among the single-engine turboprop deliveries were a ramp-up in production of newer models like the Piper M600 and Daher TBM910. But the market for new twin-engine business turboprops, long dominated by the King Air family, appears to have softened considerably with new shipments down 25 units YTD (-30.5% YoY across all model lines).

Recent King Air demand for the 350i model has been buoyed by orders from a single customer – Wheels Up – which has taken delivery of 65 of this type since its program inception through October 2017. Wheels Up indicated recently that it still has 45 King Air 350i aircraft on order, providing Textron

Aviation with some visibility into future King Air production rates.

Other Signs of Market Health

Business aircraft flight activity in the core North American and European markets is up on a YoY basis, fueled by strong performance in the charter markets.

The volume of used business jet and turbine helicopter transactions is up about 6% YTD through the end of September, measuring retail sales and leases to end-users although used turboprop sales are off about 10%, based on available data.

Used inventory ‘For Sale’ has now fallen to the mid-10% range for business jets, and to the mid-7% range for turboprops, below pre-2008 financial crisis levels, with very limited availability of low-time, late model aircraft in most segments.

As we have indicated before on these pages, used aircraft transactions and inventory ‘For Sale’ metrics are being bolstered by remarkably attractive prices for these productive, albeit depreciating assets.

Asset Insight’s analysis (page 28 suggests the average asking prices have tumbled 21% so far in 2017 led down the slippery slope by Large-Cabin business jets, a segment that continues to be the Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

weakest with respect to price retention/residual value diminution.

On the other hand, Turboprop values appear to have broadly stabilized, reflecting both low availability levels in the ‘For Sale’ market, fewer production models and competitive product lines, and lower overall new aircraft production rates.

In Summary

With only a few weeks to go before December 32, industry professionals will be focused on getting through the many hurdles necessary to close deals and ensure buyers and sellers are getting what they need. Sprinkle in one of the busiest travel and holiday periods in most people’s calendars, and the month is shaping up to look a lot like other Decembers – a time to get things done, and quickly!

At times like these, we always like to remind ourselves that it is wise to stop, to count our many blessings, to provide that little extra thought and effort that can make a difference in someone’s day, and to be thankful for the opportunity to work in an industry that provides so much value and opportunity to our customers. continued on page 22 MI www.rollandvincent.com 

Flight Activity Europe

October’s European Business Aviation activity came down from the summer peak, notes WingX Advance, but was still up 8% YoY… Business Jet Charter flights are up by 13% YoY as the YTD trend climbed to 4% (an additional 28,000 flights this year compared to 2016).

The largest markets contributed most to the growth, with Western Europe showing a robust increase in flight activity (especially in France, Spain and Italy). There was an increase of over 1,000 flights YoY from France in October.

YTD, Germany has seen the most growth in flights, up by 3.9% - an additional 415 flights per month.

Small YoY declines in activity were recorded in Russia, Norway and Turkey, while strong gains from other smaller markets included Sweden, Austria and Greece.

Business Aviation flights from Southern Europe were up 10% in October, and have a 12-month growth trend of 7%.

Arrivals into Europe from Russia were down 2%, while there was a slight growth in flights to the Middle East, and a 9% bounce in flights from Europe to North America.

While charter flights continued to flourish, there was also some recovery this month in private flights, up 5% YoY, in contrast to stagnation over much of the last 12 months. All this growth came from the 10% gain in Turboprop activity.

Business jet private missions slipped 0.4% YoY. “October activity came down from the summer peaks as usual, but the strong YoY growth, the largest so far this year, points to the sustained growth in charter demand,” summarized Richard Koe, Managing Director, WingX. “This is evident across almost all business jet segments, most notably in heavy jets.

“The market appears to be responding to a better outlook for the economy, and within the industry, competitive pricing, aggressive marketing and more effective underlying operating models.”

Teal: Market to Return to Peak in 2021

Full-Year of European BizAv Growth

With an 8.9% upsurge in movements compared to the same period last year (per Eurocontrol) October’s strong Business Aviation traffic figures in Europe signaled a key milestone for the sector, notes EBAA. Results for October secured the first full 12-months of uninterrupted growth for Business Aviation in Europe in almost a decade.

“October was a watershed month for Business Aviation movements in Europe, denoting the first full year of traffic growth since 2008,” observed Brandon Mitchener, EBAA CEO. “What’s more, all European countries have experienced traffic growth since January 2017, and all top 10 Business Aviation airports in Europe have seen positive traffic figures since the beginning of the year,” he added.

JSSI: Highest Flight Activity Since 2008 Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI) has released its latest Business Aviation Index for Q3 2017 noting average flight hours have reached levels not seen since the economic downturn of 2008…

Q3 2017 results followed a steady increase in flight activity throughout the year, proving to be the most active period in 2017. Average flight hours increased 4.5% Year-to-Date and key regional markets around the world, including Asia, Africa and South America also reported strong YTD flight hour activity.

“The summer months are 24

consistently the strongest period of the year for flight activity. Our Business Aviation Index has now shown a Year-over-Year increase in Q3 flight activity for five consecutive years,” said Neil W. Book, President & CEO, JSSI. “These are encouraging signs that companies are leveraging corporate jets to conduct business around the world.

“It’s also promising to see such growth in regional diversity coming from markets outside North America and Europe,” he added.

In its latest industry forecast, Teal Group is calling for business aircraft deliveries to return to 2008 peak levels in 2021. However, it predicts deliveries will be down 2.3% this year, followed by ‘modest’ growth through the end of this decade…

Overall, Teal forecasts production of 11,434 business aircraft worth $272.1bn over the next 10 years. This includes 8,253 business jets worth $236.3bn; 213 bizliners, $18.3bn; and 2,968 business turboprops, $17.5bn.

For comparison, 11,247 business aircraft worth $260.1bn were delivered over the last 10 years—including 7,800 business jets, $211.5bn; 447 bizliners, $31.8bn; and 3,000 turboprops, $16.8bn.

Teal expects Gulfstream and Bombardier to be the market leaders for business jets, commanding 31.5% and 28.3%, respectively, by value of deliveries, followed by Dassault Falcon (17.4%) and Cessna (13.8%). Next in line is Embraer Executive Jets, with a 6.6% share by value, which Teal said is a “very significant increase” and particularly affects Cessna, which had 21% market share a decade ago. Honda, Eclipse and Pilatus would share the remaining 2.4%, according to Teal’s forecast. continued on page 26 MI www.tealgroup.com 

JETNET Q3 2017 Used Aircraft Sales Summary

JETNET has released its data covering used Business Jet, Business Turboprop, Helicopter and Commercial Airliner sales for the first nine months of 2017. Here’s what was revealed…

Comparing September 2017 with September 2016, fleet ‘For Sale’ percentages for all market sectors were down, dropping a half of a percentage overall. Business Jets and Business Turboprops showed the largest declines (see Table C).

This is very good news, but we are just above the 10% line and still in a buyer’s market. Generally, inventories of used Business Jets ‘For Sale’ have decreased. Business Jets are showing an increase in used sale transactions in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 and are taking almost the same amount of time to sell (313 days Year-to-Date, YTD) as last year at 312 days.

Turbine Helicopters, meanwhile, showed an increase in YTD sales transactions, whereas Piston Helicopters saw a double-digit decline.

All told, for the first nine months of 2017, there have been more than 6,000 Commercial and Business Jets, Turboprops and Helicopters sold. This is an increase of approximately a half-percent more sale transactions compared to 2016.

In-Service Aircraft Values & Maintenance Condition If any proof were needed that higher asset quality aircraft are the ones actively trading, consider the recent Asset Insight’s market analysis of October 30, 2017…

Covering 92 fixed-wing models and 1,744 aircraft listed ‘For Sale’ the recent Asset Insight showed the used aircraft inventory Quality Rating posted the lowest (worst) figure of the past twelve calendar months, while average Ask Price reached another record low.

Average used aircraft Ask Prices for tracked models fell an additional 3.8% during October establishing another record low figure. Between, December 30, 2016 and October 30, 2017, average Ask Price for tracked models has now fallen 21.5%.

• Large Jets led the loss column, falling 22.2% since December and posting another record low (through a 4.1% reduction in October).

• Medium Jets also posted a new record low average Ask Price through a 1.5% reduction last month, a total loss of 8.7% this calendar year.

• Small Jets fell 5.9% to a 12-month low figure, accruing a 17.1% drop this year.

• Turboprops fared relatively well, dropping a mere 3.1% during 2017, although they did post a 12-month low figure last month by dropping 1.7%.

Inventory Fleet Maintenance Condition

The Quality Rating Trendline (Table D) continued to demonstrate the absorption of higher quality aircraft, but overall Asset Quality remained within the ‘Very Good’ range it entered last month.

• Quality Rating: The Asset Insight Quality Rating dropped to 5.165 from last month’s 5.219, recording another 12month low figure on the scale of -2.5 to 10.

• Maintenance Exposure: The tracked fleet’s average Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated/embedded maintenance expense) worsened by a nominal 0.2% to $1.454m from last month’s $1.450m, representing a 9.3% Exposure increase over the past 90 days.

Maintenance Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio

worsened by 6.4 AI2 basis points over the past 30 days, posting a new 12-month high figure of 63.5%. All groups posted a 12month worst/highest figure. At 51.9% Turboprops once again had the best Ratio.

Large Jets were next at 53.6%, Medium Jets followed at 65.6%, while Small Jets reached 76.5%.

Market Summary

A 4% decrease (74 units) to the tracked inventory fleet is one of the highest monthly reductions witnessed, and sales clearly demonstrate the industry’s preference for higher asset quality aircraft.

As we enter the year’s peak transaction period, it will be interesting to see what happens to the Ask Price versus Actual Transaction Price spread as, for the first time, over 50% of tracked models (representing over 60% of the tracked inventory) have posted an ETP Ratio in excess of 40%.

Large Jets: Sales activity was healthy, decreasing the Inventory fleet by 3.6% (15 units), but Quality Rating while worsening a little remained in the ‘Excellent’ range at 5.366. Maintenance Exposure improved/decreased 2%, but was insufficient to compensate for the group’s latest record low average Ask Price, resulting in degradation of the ETP Ratio.

Medium Jets: Sales activity was sufficiently healthy to decrease Inventory by 3.5% (20 units) but the group maintained a ‘Very Good’ Quality Rating at 5.082. Maintenance Exposure posted a 0.5% improvement, but the group’s 1.5% average Ask Price reduction led to a 12-month high ETP Ratio.

Asset Insight continues to believe that Q4 will be an active sales period for this group.

Small Jets: This group maintained, by a very slim margin, an ‘Excellent’ Quality Rating at 5.288 as the tracked fleet’s inventory decreased by a substantive 4.8% (24 units). Maintenance Exposure increased over 7.8% to another 12-month peak/worst figure and, with average Ask Price dropping 5.9% to a 12-month low figure, the ETP Ratio rocketed to the group’s 12-month worst/highest number.

Turboprops: The group’s Quality Rating fell to 4.871, just above the 12-month low figure, but remained in the ‘Good’ range as tracked inventory decreased by 4.6% (15 units). Maintenance Exposure improved/decreased by 0.6% to remain slightly better/lower than the 12-month peak figure posted in August.

While average Ask Price only dropped 1.7%, it was sufficient to drive the ETP Ratio to the group’s 12-month high/worst figure.

Viewed in relative terms compared to the other three groups, Asset Insight believes Turboprop values have stabilized and offer as proof the nominal 3.1% drop YTD.

The ETP Ratio calculates an aircraft's maintenance exposure as it relates to the ask price (see Chart B). This is achieved by dividing an aircraft's Maintenance Exposure (the financial liability accrued with respect to future scheduled maintenance events) by the aircraft's Ask Price.

The ETP Ratio is a useful indicator of an aircraft’s marketability. ‘Days on Market’ analysis has shown that when the ETP Ratio is greater than 40%, a listed aircraft’s Days on Market increases (in many cases by more than 30%).

Business Aviation in 2017:

In Every Direction, a Surprising Year Responses to questions about the outcome of 2017's Business Aviation

experience loosely follow the same track: Someone asks the questions,

the answers may reflect the reality come January 1, 2018…or maybe not.

Dave Higdon reflects on a complex year…

uch can happen during the last weeks of a calendar year. Typically, the last five to six weeks of a year see the most closings and deliveries, at least according to aircraft sales professionals, marketing executives, aircraft title, loan services and attorneys who specialize in aircraft transactions.

Nevertheless, we still asked the questions about the trends of 2017, and the following answers are a summary of what we received.

M

The New Airplane Market

Reports indicate that 2017, absent a December surge in sales and deliveries beyond the norm, is headed toward a lackluster end. Reports from the Q3 GAMA Shipment Summary reveal a decline in jets and turboprops (see Mike Potts’ analysis on p46).

Rotorcraft shipments for the first two quarters, however, exceeded expectations with total deliveries up an enormous 23.9%. Piston rotorcraft deliveries grew 9.5% while deliveries of turbine-powered rotorcraft surged ahead by 19.9%.

34

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

The Used Airplane Segment

This segment provides another case of confused indicators, with the available inventory of used aircraft ‘For Sale’ posting a gradual-but-steady decline through the year to (as of the mostrecent reports) the lowest level since before the Great Recession (see Mike Chase & Marj Rose’s JETNET >>KNOW MORE review, p40).

Inventories of used business jets, turboprops and helicopters are all trending lower, according to JETNET. Inventories fell by a running average of 0.5% Year-over-Year (YoY) in September, according to data released in late October.

The largest declines occurred in inventories of business jets and turboprops, with jet inventories falling by 1.1% from the same time in 2016, to 10.4% today. Turboprop inventories also dropped 0.7% to 7.4%. “This is very good news, but we are just above the 10% line for business jets and still in a buyer's market,” JETNET said, adding that the inventory now sits at just above 2,200 aircraft. Over the first nine months, JETNET reported sales of used business jets grew to 1,946, up 5.9%

YoY. Time to sell held steady at 313 days, meanwhile. Sales of used turboprops plunged to 911, down a whopping 10.2%, while the average time to sell grew to 309 days, up 13 days.

Confounding the steady shrinkage of the available inventory was a stubborn hold on asking prices. Asking prices usually rise as inventories fall, and fall as inventories grow.

Instead, they have held surprisingly flat, confounding bargain hunters and quick-sale ambitions of even those who reduced their asking prices.

Financing the Used Segment

The real surprise in this muddled image came from the financial markets. Interest rates spent the year holding relatively stable with terms less burdensome than the nearly impossible conditions extracted by lenders from the start of the Great Recession.

Once again lenders made it possible for an aircraft buyer to land attractive terms with reasonable down payments and near-record low interest rates for loans as long as 20 years, depending on the aircraft.

Overall, terms with mid-single-digit interest rates and loan durations of seven to 10 years remain dominant. Overall, the used business aircraft market appears destined to close out 2017 on a stable but weak note – loosely parallel with new aircraft sales.

Multiple forecasts predict a small, single-digit-percentagelevel decline in both new and used sales when the final tally comes for 2017.

What This Spells For 2018…

With all the general economic indicators in positive numbers (stock market, up; unemployment, down; employment, up; GDP, up; profits, up), analysts and experts seem baffled that aircraft sales haven't followed past trends and increased with the overall economy.

The analysts hint that global instability and a lack of major differences between today's newest business aircraft models and existing lift have led to the buyers' market conditions they proclaim are dominant.

“A point or two of improved fuel efficiency numbers and nicer amenities in the cabin aren't generating the excitement seen before the Great Recession,” one analyst offered. “Things like more modern avionics don't excite the folks in the back as much as they might excite the flight crew – and may offer little that is new in the way of true utility.

“Indeed, during the recovery from the recession a lot of operators learned that upgrading an aircraft delivers pretty much all the same comforts and amenities as buying new – but with a much lower financial commitment and some renewal of available depreciation.”

The Teal Group issued a forecast predicting the new airplane market should return to pre-recession levels in another four years. Other forecasts anticipate stronger sales of Light jets as Medium jets continue to hold and Large-Cabin jets are flat-todown following the boom years that occurred during the recovery. Nevertheless, the larger jets will continue to hold an  outsize share of sales revenues.

Other forecasts point toward slow, steady sales growth through the next decade, only returning to pre-recession levels of 2008 somewhere around 2022 to 2023. If that’s correct, it would continue the longest, slowest recovery in aviation history.

At the same time, long-term prognostications for used aircraft sales point toward continued slow sales, with YoY declines expected through the end of the decade, and inventories continuing to slightly decline as more operators decide to hold on to and upgrade their existing aircraft.

“Heading into 2018, finance lenders have certainly been getting smarter in their lending. Many have specific product ranges they’ll lend on,” Paul Sykes, Director & Founder, FlyFunder summarized for AvBuyer. “There are plenty of ‘niche’ finance providers focused on lending for good assets within a specific price band or aircraft-type/category.

Ultimately, those with strong credit will have few problems obtaining financing.

“We have also noticed a shift in the type of lending heading into the New Year. There’s been a pronounced move

from lease financing to debt financing – particularly with lenders such as CIT and GE exiting the market. The gap between the two types has definitely been closing.”

In Summary

Some of the market pressures relate to the uncertainties of global politics, such as the strains between the US, North Korea and some Middle East players. Some stem from the backtracking of previously resolved issues by the Trump Administration in its first 10 months in power and the instability those moves introduced to previously strong alliances the US had with long-term friends.

In the meantime, the global Business Aviation community will begin to face staffing challenges, from flight decks to maintenance shops, as aviation continues to increase its demand for Flight Department managers to fill needed positions.

The other jobs unlikely to suffer from a lack of need: Aircraft sales and marketing jobs, as private aviation continues to grow in utility and opportunity. T

“We have also noticed a shift in the type of lending heading into the New Year.”

uestions about the Business Aviation recovery still linger as there has not been much market movement to date. With most of 2017 behind us, however, we may be on the ‘cusp of change’. ‘For Sale’ inventories are down and aircraft transactions are up, while business jet prices remain weak.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3% in Q3 2017, according to the ‘advance’ estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In Q2, real GDP increased 3.1%. This is welcome news because, as we have historically seen, when GDP is at the 3% growth mark (or higher) Business Aviation traditionally does well.

These quarterly GDP changes between 2009 and 2017 can be viewed in Table A (left). Highlighted in yellow are the quarters that GDP was 3% or higher. Historically, we have not seen two back-to-back quarterly GDP increases of 3% or more since Q2 and Q3 2014. 

Chart A illustrates that the ‘For Sale’ inventory of Business Jets has decreased steadily from a high-point in July 2009 (2,938) to 2,225 jets in September 2017.

That’s a reduction in the percentage of the in-service fleet from 17.7% in July 2009 to 10.4% now. This is a positive sign as the inventory ‘For Sale’ is dropping, albeit slowly.

Today’s market remains good for buyers because the aircraft ‘For Sale’ inventory remains over 10%. If jet owners are retaining their business jets longer since the downturn began in 2008, perhaps that would help explain why the used business jets ‘For Sale’ inventory has remained at such high levels since the Great Recession.

The percentage ‘For Sale’ has dropped from 11.0% in January 2017 to 10.4% at the end of September 2017. Indeed, most business jet dealers and brokers today would tell you that the pristine used jets that were on the market a few years ago have become more challenging to locate.

Further analysis of January September 2017 shows mixed results for the six segments reported by JETNET in the September 2017 YTD Market Information release that included full sale transactions increase for business jets (5.9%), turbine helicopters (5.7%) and commercial airliners (8.8%) in YTD numbers (YTD September 2017 versus YTD September 2016).

The remaining three segments reported double-digit decreases in transactions with piston helicopters (-14.1%) showing the largest drop YTD 2017 vs 2016.

US Jet-A Fuel Price

As of November 6, 2017, US JetA average price was $4.76/gallon and appeared to be on the rise. This fuel cost increase could have a negative impact on some of the progress we have been making in business aircraft flight activity.

Nevertheless, today’s price is still around $2.00 less than the 2012 record fuel price of $6.84/gallon, as shown in Chart D (top, right).

increased until 2014—from 2,300 to over 2,800. A leveling-off followed in 2015, and 2016 produced mixed activity (while remaining well above the 2,800 line of transactions).

Since dropping to 2,652 transactions in January 2017 the used business jet market segment has shown a sharp recovery through September 2017 (2,833).

This could be a result of built-up demand in the US after the newly-elected government administration finds its footing and the stock market continues to climb to record highs.

Since reaching a low point in January 2017, the used turbine helicopter market segment has shown a very rapid recovery leading into September 2017 (see Chart C). This is great news, and could indicate better days ahead for the turbine helicopter market.

* Includes Domestic and International flights with US to Foreign, Foreign to US and all foreign operations.

In Summary

Historically, the fourth quarter of the year reflects the most sales growth over the other quarters.

We expect to see further growth in Q4 2017 to round out a very good year for used business jets and turbine helicopters. ‘For Sale’ inventories are slowly coming down and sales transactions continue to trend in a positive direction. T Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

GAMA Q3 2017 Aircraft Shipment Analysis How Many Ways Can You Find to Say ‘Flat’?

The Q3 2017 GAMA shipment report was entirely consistent with what Honeywell and JETNET told us to expect, reports Mike Potts. The market is holding its own but growth is nowhere to be seen. Here are the details…

Mike Potts is respected industry-wide as an aviation journalist. He has worked in the communications departments of Beech Aircraft, Sino Swearingen and M7 Aerospace, and has been analyzing GAMA’s delivery reports for AvBuyer since 2003 where he has built an excellent track record for accurate shipment predictions.

here were 1,532 airplanes delivered Year to Date (YTD) between January September, up 1.7% from 1,506 last year.

Billings are off 2.8% at $13.2bn, down from $13.5bn, primarily due to softness in the jet market but also impacted by weakness in twinengine turboprops.

The jet market is up 1.4% over last year (434 versus 428 units), an increase entirely attributable to the introduction of the Cirrus SF-50 jet.

Turboprops are down 2.1%, but the reduction in traditional business turboprops is actually much worse. Without the gains provided by a strengthening agricultural segment (up 9.9% over 2016), tr aditional business turboprops are down 6.4% with a total of 263 units delivered - a reduction from 281 delivered YTD in 2016.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

www.AVBUYER.com

The brightest star in the GAMA universe is the piston market, where deliveries are up 4% at 724 units over 696 last year.

The Jet Market In the light end of the jet market the delivery leaders are Hondajet (30 units) and Embraer’s Phenom 300 (29).

Looking at the specifics of the jet market we see that six of the 10 jet OEMs are ahead of their 2016 YTD totals while two are even and two are lagging.

Those ahead include Boeing, Dassault, Gulfstream, Honda, Textron (Cessna)) and newcomer Cirrus.

Coming in level with their 2016 YTD totals were Airbus and Eclipse, and trailing last year’s totals were Bombardier and Embraer.

Looking at just the Q3 results, we see a different picture, with fo ur OEMs in the ‘plus’ column (Boeing, Cirrus, Gulfstream and Honda), three level (Airbus, Eclipse and Textron (Cessna), two behind (Bombardier and Embraer) and one not reporting (Dassault).

The market leader is Textron (Cessna) by quite a Aircraft Index see Page 137

GAMA Dec17.qxp_GAMA DEC05 21/11/2017 17:13 Page 2

wide margin, with a total of 122 jets delivered YTD, compared with 120 last year. Next is Bombardier (96 units), then Gulfstream (90).

Cessna’s total was unquestionably buoyed by the 36 Latitudes delivered YTD, including 13 in the both Q2 and Q3.

At this point last year Cessna had delivered 24 Latitudes, so production is clearly ramping-up to meet demand. Cessna’s second best-selling product is the relat ively-new Citation M2 (25 deliveries YTD).

Bombardier’s lock on second place in the jet market is heavily dependent on its Challenger 350, which has recorded 34 deliveries YTD and is the second best-selling business jet in the world right now. It’s an interesting statement on the overall status of the jet market today that the two best selling products are super-mid-size jets.

Bombardier’s total is down b y 13 units (11.93%) from a year ago. Its quarterly total is down five units against 2016. Ironically, much of the downturn is actually attributable to a shortfall in its best-selling 350 series, which is still doing great, but not as great as last year, being down from 43 units 34. The Challenger 650 series is also down, from 26 last year to 16 now.

In third place with 90 deliveries is Gulfstream. YTD , the Savannah-based OEM is two units ahead of a year ago. With 30 units for Q3, Gulfstream is also ahead of its Q3 2016 performance (27). Gulfstream is one of the very few companies in this business that does not typically experience a strong Q4 market surge. Look for a finish in the 120-unit range.

Embraer is something of a distant fourth with 59 shipments YTD, down from 74 in 2016. Q3 results are also trailing at 20, down from 25. In spite of being one of the best-selling Light jets in the market (29 units), the Phenom 300 lags last year’s

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

YTD number (38). Only Embraer’s Legacy 450 is ahead of last year (seven units versus six). Fifth place goes to Honda with 30 units YTD, up from 15 last year. Dassault is sixth with 17 deliveries, two ahead of last year’s pace.

Of the remaining four companies, newco mer Cirrus led the pack with nine, including seven in Q3; Boeing reported six deliveries YTD (two in Q3 2017, up from one in Q3 2016); One Aviation reported five deliveries (and one in both Q3 2017 and Q3 2016); Airbus has reported no deliveries in either 2017 or 2016, Q1-Q3.

Where are we Headed?

Based on historic market performance and factoring the traditional players, the market would seem headed for a finish in the 650 unit range. The wild card to watch this year, however, is Cirrus. Factoring in the SF-50 jet, the overall jet market could finish in the 675-680 unit range.

The Turboprop Market The future of the turboprop market looks rather less certain.

With just 263 traditional business turboprops delivered so far this year, twin turboprop numbers are lagging badly. Of the nine companies building turboprops today, five (AVIC, Piaggio, Pilatus, Textron Beechcraft and Cessna), had fewer deliveries YTD than a year ago.

Only two (Daher and Piper) had improved results, while the other two (Pacific Aerospace and Quest) were even.

Results in the turboprop market were tightly bunched with Textron’s Beechcraft and Cessna units finishing in a tie at 55 each, YTD. For Beechcraft that represented a reduction o f 29.5% from the 78 units reported last year. For Cessna the 

result was also a drop, but only by 5.2% (or three units).

For Q3 2017 only, Beechcraft’s results were also down but only by five units, versus Q3 2016. Cessna, meanwhile, was ahead by 26.9% (33 units, up from 26 in Q3 2016).

Third placed Pilatus trailed Cessna and Beech by a single unit, with 54 shipments YTD. That represented a reduction from 61 units delivered in the same period last year, although Pilatus’ Q3 2017 numbers were an improvement on Q3 2016 (23 units, up from 20).

Fourth and fifth place in turboprops was also a close race, with Daher edging out Piper (36 units compared to 31). Daher’s performance put it four units ahead of the 32 it reported in Q1Q3 2016. On a Q3 basis, Daher was down by one unit compared to Q3 2016. Piper, by contrast was up 20% in Q3 2017 versus Q3 2016.

Quest finished in sixth place with 23 deliveries, matching its 2016 result, though the six units reported in Q3 2017 trailed the seven reported in Q3 2016. Pacific Aerospace also matched its prior year’s performance with seven units, though only one came in Q3 2017, compared to four in Q3 2016.

Finally, AVIC had two shipments, YTD, compared with three last year. Piaggio has made no deliveries this year, and only one delivery last year.

Look for traditional business turboprops to finish this year in the 375-380 shipment range, somewhat below the 431 deliveries recorded last year.

Four percent isn’t much to hang your hat on, however, and we look for a more significant upturn in piston sales during 2018 before we can hope to see the jets experience a big turnaround.

The fundamentals of the piston market appear better than the turboprop segment, although not quite as good as the jets.

Of 15 makers of business class aircraft reporting to GAMA thi s quarter, seven have improved numbers for the year.

The market leader in pistons continues to be Cirrus by a wide margin, with 236 airplanes this year compared with 226 a year ago. This included 87 in Q3 2017 compared with 73 in Q3 2016. For Cirrus the piston market is doing quite nicely. Cessna was a distant second with 140 units, up from 127 a year ago, although its Q3 2017 total was down 20 units ver sus Q3 2016.

The piston twin market is doing very well – in fact it is the strongest segment percentage-wise reported by GAMA, with deliveries up 12.6% from last year. Piston twins total 107 units so far this year, up from 95 last year. Diamond leads this market.

What’s Next?

Expect the piston market to continue to exhibit slow growth and finish the year in the 1,035-1,045 unit range. If piston deliveries can climb closer to the 1,100 range, such performance might mark the beginning of a broader recovery that could spread to turboprops and jets over the next two or three years.

What’s Next in Aviation Technology?

Advanced and Future Technology for Business Aviation.

Part 2

What are the significant developments in the systems guiding aircraft?

How does an assumption of safety underline these? Ken Elliott concludes his discussion of emerging electronic technology for business aircraft…

n last month’s article on emerging technology for business aircraft, we considered advanced technologies in relation to Big Data; Surveillance; Time-Based Projection; Flight Execution and Redundancy. We continue our analysis with discussion of: • Propulsion; • Security; • Piloting; and • Monitoring.

I

Together, the above technology fields are rapidly evolving to meet the demands of exponential innovation, throughout all sectors of industry and the society it serves.

Propulsion

Turbine and propeller technologies lead the way in aircraft propulsion today. The forces of environmental concern, market demand and natural technological evolution itself combine to drive different propulsion methods into aircraft platforms.

62

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

Incremental improvements of existing technology are regularly advanced. Where such innovation can benefit but not replace existing methods, there is a cautious introduction of totally new power and propulsion methods.

Because we have been burnt so often, it is human nature to embed a large delay factor into anything introduced and likely to create a dramatic change in our lives. While we gradually begin embracing electric and other propulsion sources, as an alternative to Jet-A (A-1) and Avgas fuel, we will continue to improve traditional engines using existing fuel sources, but only ‘step-by-step’ and likely in a hybrid form.

Factors that drive the change of propellent source, and by default the type of engine, are primarily the environment, hourly operational costs including fuel charges, reduction of risk and a genuine desire for alternatives.

To be useful for aviation, new propulsion technologies should conform to a combination of requirements. It is not about power or fuel alone. Engine efficiency should be complimented by aircraft size and weight; overall practicality;

safety and reliability; cost to operate; and cost to maintain.

Note that the power needed to propel an aircraft increases at greater than the airspeed squared. It takes much more power to fly at higher speeds over longer distances.

One big propulsion factor is the power requirement for an aircraft at takeoff. This is where consideration of baseline aircraft weight, fuel on board, payload, runway length, airport elevation, ambient temperature and climb rate play into the formula for deducing engine requirements. Consider how significant these factor elements play into the powerplant design when contemplating solar power, lithium batteries and electric motors as an Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

alternative energy source and engine type.

When current aircraft are modified for longer endurance or additional mission capacity, there is a very large penalty incurred by adding fuel tanks to provide for the extra energy source needed. For the military, in-flight refueling has longbeen the preferred method of increasing single leg range to meet mission requirements, rather than modify the aircraft with extra tanks.

NASA, GE and many others have attempted various propulsion alternatives. Everyone seems to be settling on hybrid solutions. These are solutions where existing technologies are merged with new concepts to create cleaner propulsion efficiencies. www.AVBUYER.com

Mostly, physical limitations prevent the regular use of non-hydrocarbon liquid or gaseous fuels such as hydrogen or natural gas. An electric or hybrid solution is the primary alternative for a stored energy source. However, when Jet-A fuel hydrocarbons are burnt off during flight, aircraft performance improves as weight is reduced and flight can occur at a higher altitude. The same does not hold true for electric stored energy in the form of fixed batteries, however efficient they become.

While stored energy and a motor are crucial to propulsion for flight, the method of moving the aircraft through the sky is equally important. From the internal blades in turbine engines and external propellers in fixed-wing aircraft, December 2017 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AVBUYER MAGAZINE

to the external rotors attached to helicopter engines, there are various means to propel the aircraft in motion.

Incremental efficiencies in aircraft flight include improvements and changes in all three stages of propulsion.

Conversions (or motor types) are predicated on their weight and efficiency.

There is a constant effort to tweak efficiencies and find materials that will allow for weight reduction. This effort is expended on the understanding that we are not yet at the point where revolutionary game-changing motors are ready to deploy. The gas turbine, for example, is here to stay for some time.

However, when we look at aircraft that are not required to carry large or heavy payloads and operate out and back from a fixed base, as opposed to flying between cities, the requirements change.

So, as we enter the unmanned world of autonomous flight, every flavor of propulsion technology is fair game.

Because most drones use lithium batteries, their range and endurance are limited to up to two hours, with infrequent ultra-endurance making headlines almost daily. Using small sensor payloads, their gross weight presents a minimal burden to the energy source. Also, because they tend to operate locally and within line of sight, their endurance requirements are not usually a major performance factor.

For unmanned autonomous aircraft that will need to fly in similar operations to fixed-wing vehicles, there are several key limiting factors. The first three are crucial to operations Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS): • •

64

Regulation and Certification (both operational and airworthiness); Ability to identify (for example Nnumber); AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

• •

Ability to reliably see and avoid; Stored energy, power plant and propulsion method; and • Physical capability to consistently fulfill the overall mission (in allweather conditions).

Interestingly, we are seeing hybrid stored energy, powerplant and propulsion solutions rapidly emerging in the autonomous vehicle environment. As with manned aircraft, practical solutions are emerging such as fixed-wing platforms with vertical take-off capability.

These operate as an airborne ‘Prius’, using a hybrid turbo-electric powerplant, while selecting rechargeable electricity or wet fuel at different phases of flight. An example is to use electricity for taxi and cruise and wet fuel for the other phases of flight.

“One can expect incremental improvements to existing means of propulsion and the introduction of hybrid solutions along the road travelled in the near-term.”

Moving Slowly: The cautiousness of investors and the interests of shareholders are slowing the pace of change in technology overall. Risk-averse investment and the ‘fastest road to dividends’ may be the order of the day across much of industry. Therefore, we see more of a forward thrust within the www.AVBUYER.com

defense and commercial ‘dot org’ world, while others get to play in the corporate sandbox within partitioned research and development teams.

An occasional entrepreneur or successful executive will invest and break the tradition, experimenting with game changing propulsion or a complete new aircraft, but that is the exception rather than the rule. A list of game-changing solutions should, however, include suborbital aircraft such as Richard Branson’s – Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos’s – Blue Origin.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is one place where ideas are flushed out behind the scenes. While traditionally defenserelated, they have commercial applications. NASA, Boeing, Airbus and others also line up an impressive array of future versions of propulsion.

With a first flight planned for early 2018, NASA is about to test a redesigned lithium-ion battery module for its first electric propulsion demonstrator, the X-57 Maxwell. The platform’s existing Rotax piston engines are replaced with two 60kW electric motors, and the propellers are mounted on the wingtip to take advantage of the vortices found there.

So, the future is bright, especially when low earth orbit propulsion is included. Proposed ideas are also hybrid in their use of technology.

One can expect incremental improvements to existing means of propulsion and the introduction of hybrid solutions along the road travelled in the near-term. The long-term, meanwhile, is simmering in a pot of secrecy within the corridors of DARPA, the design shops of Amazon, Google, Tessler and Uber and the well-funded commercial skunk works at Boeing, Airbus and others.  Aircraft Index see Page 137

Even the best laid plans can all come tumbling down if there is just one weak spot in data security. There is no point in advancing technology, both airborne and ground-based, without corresponding embedded security at a level that matches the threat.

Recently, a major aircraft service provider—Satcom Direct—announced an increased focus on data security within its popular service programs. It realized the potential risk to business aircraft operators across all areas of aircraft communication and data, particularly where data can be accessed as it travels outside of the aircraft itself.

Satcom Direct, as well as others, realize the significance of adding layers of security because they work with the subject all day long. It is a core tenant of their business, acting as the provider, enabling seamless operation between the operator and the companies that provide satellite and other services.

These are locations where vulnerabilities are at their greatest. For aircraft there are 66

three areas of security concern: • Crew & cockpit; • Passengers & cabin; and • The aircraft systems themselves.

For both crew and passengers, there is a layer of security added when personal devices are connected, even wirelessly, to the aircraft. For all three, there is a grey area between commercial network protocols and the aircraft busses themselves. Aircraft busses are, today, guided by complex ARINC, Ethernet and other data standards. A risk, constantly monitored, is the ability of commercial network activity directly connecting to an aircraft bus, where snoopers and hackers may explore their nefarious art in uncharted territory.

Aircraft routers, for example, typically connect to aircraft busses and at the same time act as routers for cockpit and cabin personal devices. Within, the router should be all the necessary hardware and software to ensure firewalled and physical separation between devices and busses. The desire www.AVBUYER.com

and need to transfer real-time data to and from the aircraft requires that analogue, and digital information are gathered and converted to Application Programming Interface (API) formatting for communication off the aircraft.

Companies communicating with their own aircraft have the additional challenge of ensuring their intranets and servers are not exposed at either the corporate end and/or at the office in the sky. Whenever corporations take on new cabin or cockpit devices as well as the associated service provider programs, their IT department should be involved right from the start. All sorts of issues and risks may be avoided by being proactive in this collaboration.

Today’s advanced aviation data bus uses packets of data, each of which is integrity-checked before being passed on for processing. There are significant checks and balances in aviation data busses.

(These correspond to EUROCAE WG72 documents ED-202, 204 and 203, respectively.) Security also extends to databases and software updates that are imported into the aircraft and may be corrupted in some way. Databases and software have direct access into on-board systems when updates are loaded, thereby providing an avenue for corrupting critical information.

Unfortunately, the protection of aircraft systems will continue to be an evolving issue as hackers reinvent themselves and their malicious tools.

Also of concern to aviators is the security risk associated with ground equipment. Here FAA and other agencies are providing communication, navigation and surveillance services, all of which must continue to operate consistently and reliably. As a credit to the FAA, it is smart enough to ensure the continuation and enhancement for DME (RhoRho/DME-DME) navigation services.

These extremely accurate position sources are being maintained as an assurance against the loss of GPS signals.

The future is likely to consist of additional security layers, each with an increasing granularity in the protection and transfer of data. There will need to be alternative solutions, as a backup, to critical onboard systems that rely on infrastructure, positioned on the ground or in space.

The virtual aircraft of the future will become a cloud-based digital-duplicate of the original. In the instance of degraded data, it will be able to provide specific flight commands, derived from a remote replication of vulnerable aircraft and infrastructure systems.

important. While flying vehicles over people gets the attention of the public, any flight needs to be conducted safely and the pilot, whether seated in it or in a remote-control facility, needs to remain in command, from taxi out to taxi in.

For fixed wing ‘loss of control in flight’ (LOC-I), there is no one weak link in the chain of flight, but there are several common denominators. Either the pilot may have difficulty in controlling the aircraft or the pilot may not be seeing the visual cues, including those associated with terrain and obstacles.

For unmanned vehicles, the weak links are ‘loss of control’ and ‘loss of lock’.

One occurs while still electronically connected to the aircraft and the other occurs because of an inability to maintain control connectivity.

IATA-LOC-I-1st-Ed-2015 Loss of Control In-Flight Accident Analysis Report covers aircraft over 12,500 lbs (5,700kg). This document is complimented by IATA’s Environmental Factors Affecting Loss of Control InFlight: Best Practice for Threat Recognition & Management. Together they paint a grim picture, where a staggering 97% of LOC-I accidents, for the period measured, resulted in fatalities.

The external environment and how pilots deal with it, are key factors in the cause of LOC-I for manned aircraft.

Meteorological events and abnormalities such as wake turbulence may cause the initial upset and, in some cases, the pilot then exacerbates the event by improper corrective action.

Manned aircraft, fixed and rotary, are much more responsive these days, resulting in fewer occurrences of LOC-I. There will continue to be an iterative process of continued improvement going forward.

Unmanned aircraft will not be openly allowed to operate as BVLOS until the ability to maintain locked-on and incontrol is assured. Long before they fly autonomously, they will be operated by a remote pilot, with redundancy built in at every level. In fact, the more that an unmanned aircraft can be operated and maintained like a manned vehicle, the easier and quicker will be the transition into BVLOS operations, allowing transition through multiple airspace categories.

The first unmanned operational Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

of monitoring is Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM). Now with ADS-B, and later worldwide space-based ADS-B, even RVSM may become redundant. Indeed, future aircraft performance monitoring will be a 4D application, combining altitude, lateral navigation and time-at-point, as universal position tracking provides a single Total System Error (TSE) to meet different allowable tolerances throughout phases of flight.

High-capacity cloud-based servers will store and forward constant position status. Because the monitoring is fulltime, actual errors should be minimal, unless unplanned. Failures will be broadcast in real time, for both manned and unmanned platforms, simultaneously providing corrective action. Crews may elect to act on correction suggested, just as with flight instrument commands of today, but with added voice ‘commands’ and an automatic display of relevant pilot checklist items on a secondary monitor.

Summary

“At least in our life-times, unmanned aircraft will not be dismissed as ‘job deniers’. They will instead enhance the capabilities of existing flight departments.” approval is planned for Class G airspace and the last is anticipated to be Classes associated with airports and terminal areas.

Monitoring

Imagine a world where for every action there is an instant monitoring check.

Even today we can monitor airborne aircraft remotely, in all sorts of ways and for many interested parties. We can monitor many activities in virtual real time, and record as we go for later analysis and data memory.

As aircraft operate closer together, within limited airspace, the criticality of monitoring increases. An early example www.AVBUYER.com

The time has arrived when flight departments are exploring the supplemental use of unmanned aircraft, where their pilots may be strapped in and airborne for the first flight of the day and operating as remote pilot for the next flight.

Manned fixed-wing flights mostly involve the carriage of people and cargo from city to city, while unmanned vehicles operate locally using sensor payloads to conduct useful industrial activity, out from and back to home base.

Together, these operations will satisfy an overall corporate mission. At least in our life-times, unmanned aircraft will not be dismissed as ‘job deniers’. They will instead enhance the capabilities of existing flight departments.

Including the amazing array of new technologies and advancements covered in the last two articles, flight departments will also benefit, because of improvements gained in safety, efficiency, performance and overall cost reduction.

The surface has just been scratched when it comes to advanced and future technology. Also, keeping up will be tough as changes occur exponentially, despite cautions imposed by necessary regulation and our natural reluctance to adapt to change. T December 2017 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

How is Jet Connectivity Developing?

From Bandwidth to Bit-Rate, Satcom Options Keep Growing – and They’re Getting Faster Thanks to the emergence of in-flight connectivity, those flying globally enjoy connections with work colleagues and business contacts via Wi-Fi and Internet of Things (IoT).

ireless communications quickly became the first major challenge tackled by military air services in the fledgling years of aviation. The earliest success came in 1915, and involved radio operators keying and decoding wireless Morse code messages. Then in February 1917 technicians achieved the first successful voice communication between an aircraft and the ground.

That represented the state of in-flight communications within cockpits for decades.

However, another breakthrough in analog radio technology brought passengers the ability to 70

‘phone it in’ from the cabin. Then came in-flight text-messaging technology, which ultimately evolved into Internet-connected hardware.

Ground stations were the first to provide aircraft with In-Flight Connectivity (IFC), before satellitebased systems followed. From L-band to K-band, from faster Ka-band, to the even faster Ku-band (and more to come), technology has evolved rapidly in recent years. The ‘band’ in use refers to the radio frequencies used to and from the satellite, as follows: • L-band (1 to 2GHz frequency range); • Ku-band (12 to 18GHz frequency range); and • Ka-band (26.5 to 40GHz frequency range).

Today, broader access to the hardware supporting IFC helps expand the range of aircraft eligible for hosting the systems. And in parallel, the service providers continue to expand their offerings, in terms of accessibility, bandwidth and

speed – to the point of nearing parity with systems on the ground.

While airlines have grappled with the level of service to offer and how to make it cost-effective, Business Aviation operators have increasingly embraced the costs (both the buy-in and user fees) as another metric for conducting business from the airport ramp to the flight levels, around the world, seamlessly.

How In-Flight Connectivity Works

In-flight Wi-Fi is getting faster and relatively cheaper, and is an increasingly common offering on Light, Mid-size and LargeCabin business jets – much as it's become a staple on discount carriers and major airlines. But how does in-flight Wi-Fi actually work?

Today, internet traffic exchanges take one of two paths between an aircraft aloft and a person on the ground: •

Ground-based mobile broadband systems connect through towers spread across the landscape. The ground network transmits data to the aircraft antenna. The aircraft system

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

•

reverses that process to get messages and data to the ground system antennas.

Satellite-based systems (some using geostationary and other constellations of satellites in continuous orbit around the Earth) connect your tablet, notebook or smartphone inflight. The device uses Wi-Fi to connect to the system through an on-board router, which transfers the signal to a node communicating with the appropriate satellite, which, in turn, beams its data packages to ground stations.

How fast this happens and how much traffic the system can handle varies with the hardware and the service provider.

In Flight Connectivity: It’s Catching Up

Brian Wilson, Director, Key Accounts at Gogo Business Aviation (https://business.gogoair.com) sees an accelerating industry, but with some built-in speed bumps.

“Gogo allows clients to stream both in the US on Air-ToGround (ATG) via GogoBiz 4G, and then anywhere in the world with Ku-band,” Wilson told AvBuyer. “Clients can also stream 

“Due to certification on aircraft, however, airborne IFC will always lag behind what people can do on the ground,” he added. “That does not appease the flying public, though, which continues to be younger.”

The average age of corporate jet passengers has dropped to 38, an all-time low, and they are an age group known for their heavy usage of social media, movie streaming and alternative television viewing. These passengers tend to use more bandwidth – which equates to a requirement for more data.

That demand for greater and faster service drives today's system upgrades, Wilson notes. “Where does that take us? We are seeing a transition to high bandwidth satellite solutions (Kaand Ku-band).” He believes that Iridium Next, which is growing in its satellite coverage, “…will face many challenges. The speeds they hope to have are behind what is required today.”

Wilson said that the Ka- and Ku-band satellites deliver the 72

speeds and bandwidth required by all the streaming that passengers want.

“Gogo has announced a Ku-band system that will roll-out in mid-2018 with speeds starting at 25mbps. We are leveraging this with our airline unit that has 2Ku and sees speeds of 4080mbps.”

For the future, Wilson only sees more to come with ATG throughput speeds upward of 35mbps to as high as 100mbps when Gogo releases its next generation LTE in late 2018.

James Person, Director of Business Development, Business Aviation & VIP markets for ViaSat (www.viasat.com) offered his perspectives to AvBuyer. “We look at the Business Aviation market encompassing nearly 20,000 aircraft globally. Of those, one can say that nearly all have some level of connectivity, even if it’s just DataLink for the pilots.

“Our focus is on high-speed connectivity for the cabin, crew, and even for on-board systems and engines.” Plenty of growth is expected, Person explained. “In the world of high-speed communications on business jets, fewer than 1,000 business aircraft have that level of connectivity. With access to ViaSat's complete satellite communications network, business jet passengers, pilots and crew can expect an ‘at home’ or officelike internet experience.

“There are two angles to IFC growth,” Person elaborated. “‘Back of the plane’ and ‘front of the plane’ – both are on different cycles. From a ‘back of the plane’ perspective we’re focused on getting the passengers and the flight crew fullyconnected. Wi-Fi is a must for business jets that fly globally, and our goal is to make connecting to the in-cabin internet system effortless.

“From a ‘front of the plane’ perspective, providing front-end diagnostics for operational savings is a big focus. We’re already thinking about the business jet traveler’s needs – especially when it comes to size and bandwidth.”

Persons elaborated on some of the opportunities he sees within the development of front of plane connectivity. “There is a tremendous opportunity to provide connectivity for sensor tracking of big data requirements. That could include everything from pilot weather and turbulence tracking to in-flight engine and operational repairs.

“And there's plenty of growth to come within the connectivity arena, with approvals for installations a significant consideration. Our latest high capacity system, for example, has the same footprint as our former generation’s shipset, so approvals have been straightforward,” Person explained.

“We see the biggest opportunity in educating the buyer, because not all IFC - and certainly not all Ka-band - is the same.”

In Summary

With all of the developments emerging within In-Flight Connectivity today, the key consideration for any operator to track closely remains capacity.

Ultimately, capacity translates to a better internet performance in congested air corridors; faster overall internet speeds; higher data allowances for bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming, and better overall pricing structures. T Are you looking for more Connectivity articles?

Jet Connectivity Install: Save Time & Money Getting the Selection and Installation Process Right First Time

Just as important as having cabin connectivity in a business jet is the need to select the right equipment and consider the installation process thoroughly. Aviation Director Andre Fodor offers some essential tips on saving time and cost longer-termâ&#x20AC;Ś With a focused approach on global excellence and creativity, Andre Fodor has managed flight operations for the U.N. and Flight Options as well as being a senior demonstration pilot and instructor for Embraer Aircraft.

fter taking an office computer to the maintenance shop recently, I was surprised to learn that six months after buying it new it had already become obsolete. Yet this is only one of many examples of how technologies evolve quickly.

Applying that understanding to cabin connectivity in business aircraft is essential. The verve surrounding the booths of the connectivity providers at the latest trade shows gives testament that operators of older aircraft are willing to invest in their jets beyond the upcoming ADS-B mandates, and upgrade their

connectivity solutions. When planning for the right connectivity solution, however, it is vital to consider a strong backbone from which future upgrades and new enhancements can be made with minimal disruption to operations.

A few years ago, I was involved in the acquisition of a large cabin aircraft and garnered some valuable lessons with respect to this issue. The aircraft was factory-new and came equipped with SwiftBroadband internet capability. Since it was to be based and operated in the US, however, the owner wanted an Air-to-Ground system installed. This seemingly simple request led to a few surprises along the way.

STC Surprise

It was a surprise to learn that internet installations require specific STCs for different aircraft types. In the case of this airplane, an STC already existed for an older model. Our intention was to obtain a variation Aircraft Index see Page 137

Connectivity Dec17.qxp_Finance 21/11/2017 14:33 Page 2

Consider Multi-Tasking If you choose a facility that also does interior refurbishment, this may also be a good time to have seats refurbished, side panels recovered or carpet replaced. You are already paying for the labor to have everything removed. By undertaking some refurbishment, you’ll enjoy reduced costs.

of that STC. True to aviation, though, nothing is quite so simple…

The newer aircraft model had additional belly tanks that encroached upon the area approved for the placement of the internet diversity antennas. (Technically-speaking, antennas conduct radio frequency and therefore require distance and shielding from fire hazards such as fuel tanks.) This difference required updated engineering work and an eventual field approval from the FAA. Lesson #1: Be aware, making sure that the installation and STC that you are choosing will comply with your aircraft type and model before you commit to buying a specific connectivity package.

Older aircraft that may have had previous avionics, cabin upgrades and configurations may require further evaluation to ensure there will be no ‘show-stoppers’ during the installation and approval process. Also, be aware that some STCs that are approved under one registry may be unacceptable under another.

Wiring Shocker

The next surprise was to learn that nearly the entire interior of the airplane would have to come out for the provisioning of the wires

that would connect the system. One required wire bundle would run 72 feet from the avionics bay to the cockpit simply to provide the On/Off switch for the Wi-Fi system that needed to be located there as part of the STC approval. To install the same switch a few inches away in a different location would void the STC approval.

We allowed extra time to discuss the process and whether there were other ways to run the wiring. The outcome was that we managed to remove less interior than originally intended.

Lesson #2: Since the interior will be removed and an internet installation normally takes three-weeks, consider future upgrades.

Run additional conduits, wire bundles and coaxial cables that you can keep in reserve for future upgrades. This will save time and money in the future, and will make your aircraft more attractive to prospective buyers if you choose to sell.

Finally, with such intrusive work taking place on your aircraft, you will need someone from your team present full-time to monitor the project.

Top Tail Tips

Installations that include top tail access, such as SwiftBroadband, Direct TV, Ku- and Ka-band, come with further concerns.

First, be sure that there is enough space in the top dome to fit the hardware that you’re planning to install and that your dome is electronically compatible to allow radio frequency signal flow. The dome must have the proper electrical characteristics that do not degrade the signals coming and going from the antenna mounted inside.

Second, the tail dome structure and interior space should allow for the physical installation of the new antenna hardware.

Furthermore, allow for the fact that you may already have one factory-installed SwiftBroadband or even a Satcom phone system in that location.

Likewise, some older installations may include both Ku- and Ka-band equipment, and ample space must exist for both antennas to co-exist. If it doesn’t, it is possible that you will have to give up an older system for the new one due to lack of space.

Tip: Never assume that the installer will have considered these challenges prior to the install date. You should establish these facts for yourself.

In Summary

All new cabin connectivity installations are expensive and will take your aircraft out of operation for a period of time. The investment, ranging between six and seven figure sums, is a clear reflection of the complexity of this upgrade.

Take time to consider the system and its flexibility for future potential upgrades. Most importantly, obtain references and get to know your installer and their technicians very well before having the upgrade done. In-depth planning will save money and avoid frustration as well as provide you with more reliable, faster megabytes for your dollars. T Are you looking for more Connectivity articles?

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T SAFETY

How to Obtain Technical Excellence

What are the Best Practices for Achieving Technical Excellence in Flight Departments?

Concluding his series on the foundations for Flight Department safety, as identified by NBAA, Mario Pierobon discusses the importance of Technical Excellence to an operation’s safe procedures…

varying needs due to specific operational environment s and/or specific customer requirements. Running a training-needs gapanalysis offers an opportunity to reveal where training is needed and how to pursue highly targeted technical excellence.

he common denominator for excellence in Business Aviation is training. High-quality training helps reduce accidents. Specifically, training programs should address the skill sets required of Business Aviation professionals in such a way that new skills are taught and old ones are sharpened.

Training is a core business function within corporate Flight Departments, in large measure because there are very thorough regulatory requirements for training. Yet some Flight Departments may decide to train their personnel to the bare regulatory minimum and risk losing the benefits of knowledge and skill that enable the pursui t of technical excellence.

So, how can a Flight Department develop its training system to maximize the benefits of training?

Best Practice #3: Provide training to foster desirable behaviours in the workforce on top of specific technical skills.

Operatives should not just be trained to handle a particular type of operation, emergency or c ontingency, but also to develop behavioural competencies (i.e. communication, leadership and decision-making) in order to foster consistent and appropriate responses at all times while within the line environment.

T

Building on the Baseline

The regulatory requirements, as well as any guidance coming from the aircraft OEMs, provide the baseline of an overall practice that should be followed to develop training programs.

Training for excellence, however, requires an organization to commit to cust omizing the regulatory requirements, and adapting them to the specific needs and ambitions of the operator. The success of customizing training requirements depends on adherence to three main best practices, as detailed here...

Best Practice #1: Pursue optional training opportunities beyond the regulatory minimum. This may include the use of instructors to deliver training in lieu of distance-learning oppo rtunities.

It may be the case that distance-learning is currently used as a way to save the trainees’ time as well as reduce the costs of running training sessions. Deploying an instructor, however, allows trainees to address more of the concerns they have in the line environment, and the overall learning experience can become more targeted to the current operational needs and challenges of the organizat ion.

Best Practice #2: Address any specific training needs. A gap analysis of training needs should be used to assess requirements of the workforce. The advantage is that real needs can be identified and addressed whereas prescriptive requirements may not recognise the existence of such needs.

Every individual and every organization is different and has 78

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

Agents for Change

Having summarized what a training system pursuing technical excellence should look like, it should still be remembered that in some organizations it may not be that easy to ensure management buy-in to upgrade the training system.

Thus Flight Department Managers need to become creative agents for change within their companies. The top layer of management may be distant from the operational reality and not understand the importance of training to ever improve safety performance.

Working with Senior Management

It may seem natural to maintain bare minimum requirements, but it is the responsibility of training managers to convince senior management of the value in upgrading the training system. Convincing senior managers to make budgetary concessions may seem a difficult exercise, but should nevertheless be attempted.

A case should be raised that emphasizes less the benefits of upgrading the system (and spending money in the process) and more the possible losses if the training system is not upgraded.

Senior management may believe the existing training system is working fine, and subsequently struggle to reconcile a request for extra funding without a thorough case being presented.

Of course, such a case should not be designed to alarm; it should simply be balanced to raise the awareness among senior management of what is needed to pursue technical excellence. T

Turboprops Give More...

Prop Advances keep these Workhorses Competitive The top-selling turboprops tend to be aircraft that are continually popular among owners needing fuel-efficient, multi-mission types, as we explore below…

W

hile exceptions exist, turboprop airplanes offer a common set of attributes that make them an attractive proposition. The powerplants are responsible for most – turboprop engines benefit today from propeller designs that are far more sophisticated than just a decade ago, 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 – an attractive attribute given today’s depressed oil prices, 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 offered by many turboprops i s 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 80

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. And on trips of up to 300 nautical miles, the difference in travel time between a jet and a turboprop is negligible.

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 1998 through Fall 2017 (20 year period). Values reported are in US$ millions, with each reporting point representing the current average retail value published in the Bluebook by its corresponding calendar year. For example, the Quest Kodiak reported in the Fall 2017 edition of the Bluebook shows US$1.25m for a 2009 model, US$1.2m for a 2008 model, and so forth. Aircraft are listed alphabetically.

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 (4 Pax) - The maximum IFR range of the aircraft with four passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft.

• Ferry Range - is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied.

This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft.

• VFR Range - Seats Full is the maximum www.AVBUYER.com

•

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 Take-off Weight (MTOW).

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

ow does the Boeing BBJ2 compare in the bizliner market today? Over the following paragraphs, we’ll consider productivity parameters (payload, range, speed and cabin size) and cover current market values. The field in this study includes the Airbus ACJ320.

The market for large executive cabin class aircraft (bizliners) began long ago in 1959 with the introduction of the Boeing 707. Indeed, aftermarket conve rsions of Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus and BAC airliners for corporate use have been occurring for decades.

Then in the late 1990s, Airbus and Boeing saw a market to build derivatives of their aircraft specifically for corporate or business use – thus, the BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) and ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jet) product lines were launched.

In 1998, Boeing delivered the first Boeing Business Jet - an ultra-long-range twin-turbofan jet using the fuselage of the 737-700 with the strengthened wings and landing gear of the larger 737-800. Airbus followed

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

www.AVBUYER.com

with the Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) a year later.

Today, there are three narrow-body Boeing Business Jet aircraft, the BBJ, BBJ2 and BBJ3. The BBJ2 is greater in length than the original BBJ, and its fuselage is from the 737-800 commercial airline model . The BBJ3 model meanwhile is even larger utilizing the fuselage of the 737-900. These spacious jets are commonly used by sports teams, governments and a variety of global corporations worldwide.

There are 22 wholly-owned BBJ2 business jets in operation worldwide. The percentage for sale is 13.6% (3 units) with all of those under an exclusive broker agreement. The average time on the market is 598 days. Tw o BBJ2s are leased, according to JETNET. Asia and the Middle East account for the largest BBJ2 fleet percentage (68%, or 15 units), followed by Europe (18%, 4 units) and North America (9%, 2 units) accounting for a combined fleet total of 95%. As many as 32% of the BBJ2 business jets operating worldwide are under fleet ownership, the largest fleet being three BBJ2 aircraft owned by Dubai Air Wing (UAE).

Of the 22 BBJ2 business jets based worldwide, 13 (59%) have ADS-B Out installed, leaving 41% of the fleet yet to comply.

The FAA has mandated that all US-operated business jets must comply with this new requirement by January 1, 2020.

ADS-B is also becoming mandatory in vast areas of the rest of the world.

Payload & Range

As we have mentioned in past articles, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. Table A (top, left) shows the BBJ2s ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ (939 lbs) is very significantly less than that offered by the ACJ320 (15,700 lbs).

Cabin Cross-Section Views

Chart A (left), meanwhile, offers a cabin cross-section comparison and shows the BBJ2 has less width (11.50 ft. vs 12.08 ft.) and height (7.00 ft. vs 7.33 ft.) than the ACJ320. However, not depicted is that the BBJ2 has greater cabin length (98.5 ft. vs 91.0 ft.) compared to the ACJ320. Overall, the BBJ2 cabin volume (6,525 cu. ft.) is less than the ACJ320 (6,825 cu. ft.).

Range Comparison

As depicted by Chart B (left) using Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as the origin point, the BBJ2 (5,622nm) shows greater range coverage than the ACJ320 (4,330nm). Each jet’s range covers all of Europe (including Russia), Africa and Asia (including China).

Note: For jets and turboprops, ‘four passengers with available fuel’ represents the maximum IFR range of the aircraft at Long-Range Cruise with four passenger seats occupied. NBAA IFR fuel reserve calculation for a 200nm alternate is assumed. The lines depicted do not include winds aloft or any other weather-related obstacles.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; December 2017

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, left).

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 taxpayer s must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated, and if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that should be utilized. For example, aircraft used in charter service (i.e. Part 135) are normally depreciated under MACRS over a seven-year recovery period or under ADS using a twelve-year recovery period.

Aircraft used for qualified business purposes, such as Part 91 business use f lights, are generally depreciated under MACRS over a period of five years or by using ADS with a sixyear recovery period. There are certain uses of the aircraft, such as non-business flights, that may have an impact on the allowable depreciation deduction available in a given year.

Table D (left) depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2010 BBJ2 business aircraft in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five- and sevenyear periods, assuming a 2010 list price for a BBJ2 at $80.5m, per B&CA magazine.

Aircraft Index see Page 137

AirCompAnalysis DEC17.qxp_ACAn 21/11/2017 16:16 Page 6

The points in Chart D are centered on the same aircraft. Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in the B&CA. 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: 1. Four/Eight Passenger Range (nm) with available fuel; 2. The long range cruise s peed flown to achieve that range; 3. The gross cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

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 BBJ2 displays a high level of productivity.

The BBJ2 has greater range and a lower variable cost but it is priced higher than the ACJ320. Also, it has significantly less ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ compared to the ACJ320 business jet.

Operators should weigh up their mission requirements precisely when picking which option is the best for them.

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 that might factor in a buying decision.

Operators in the market should find the preceding comparison useful. Our expectations are that the BBJ2 will continue to be competitive in the market for the foreseeable future.

Of course, if the BBJ2 is not outfitted with ADS-B Out it cannot be placed in-operation after Decembe r 31, 2019 as mandated by the FAA. T

How Much Do New Aircraft Impact Used Prices?

Buying a Jet ? Timing isn’t Everything Last month, David Wyndham looked at timing an aircraft purchase as it relates to large business cycles such as the recession of 2008-2009. This month, he examines what impact the introduction of a new model with performance or options superior to the current model has on prices…

King Air B200-Series

Referencing Tables A and B, opposite (depicting the King Air 200-Series), the King Air B200 was replaced by the King Air B200GT in 2008. The King Air 250, meanwhile, was introduced in 2011. These were evolutionary models with updated engines and more advanced avionics.

The selling price of the new model variant of the King Air B200 did not increase substantially over the predecessor model.

The King Air B200GT was introduced just as

the recession unfolded, so any downward effects on the selling price of the 1992 B200 are more likely due to overall economic conditions.

When, in 2011 the model 250 was introduced with a new price that was marginally higher than the B200GT, the model had no effect on the selling price of the 1992 King Air B200.

Its selling price remained stable at $1.55m for about two years (2010-2012).  Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

No significant drops in model 525 prices resulted from the introduction of the CJ1 or CJ2 series.

Falcon 900-Series

The Dassault Falcon 900 has developed into several refined variants during its many years of production. Per Table D, in 1996 the Falcon 900EX was a significant update with a completely new avionics system and updated engines. Both the Falcon 900B and 900EX were sold in 1996 with about a $2.5m price difference.

In 2007, Dassault introduced the completely new Falcon 7X (see Table E), a larger, faster, longer-range jet that was the new top-of-the-line Dassault offering. During the same timeframe, the Falcon 900 series would see further improvements as the Falcon 900LX. The price jump to the 7X was over $4m.

In 2007 the demand was high for all jet aircraft, and Dassault had a backlog of close to two years for the Falcon 7X. Late model Falcon 900Bs and 900EXs were holding their values.

Today the original $4m price difference between the 2007 Falcon 900EX and Falcon 7X has narrowed to about $2m - both being about 40% of their 2007 new price. The 1992 Falcon 900B, now aged 25, is about 20% of its 2007 selling price. That drop in valuation is more an indication of its age than other factors.

In Conclusion

None of the three models we evaluated were significantly impacted by the addition of newer models in their series. The data for 2007 are unclear for the Falcons, however, as the demand for all business aircraft was high a decade ago. The strength of the used business jet market in 2007 would have been more a result of the economic conditions than any other factor.

As manufacturers introduce new model year aircraft, they look for ways to add value and justify the increase in asking prices beyond inflation. Any reduction in selling price of the used model due to the introduction of a newer model or model variant is likely countered by the new model’s increased list price.

Data do not support the premise that used aircraft prices suddenly drop to “bargain” status when a new variant of an existing model is introduced.

Next month we will conclude this series by examining the remaining factors that may impact used aircraft prices, such as end of the year discounts or model availability. T 100

How to Find Value Buying a Jet Three Tips to ‘Bag a Beauty’ in Today’s Used Aircraft Marketplace

Buying & Selling 3 December.qxp_Finance 21/11/2017 12:15 Page 2

With used aircraft sales increasing during the closing months of 2017, the market is

definitely changing, notes Jet Tolbert. While many of the ‘polished gems’ have been

plucked from the surface, buyers can still find a great aircraft that meets their needs… any of the nearly-new jets and turboprops have been snappedup from the marketplace, it is still difficult for buyers to ascertain value in this fluctuating market.

There is no reason to be discouraged, though. We are not yet at the point of entering a seller’s market. There is plenty of great value to be found for buyers willing to dig a little deeper for used jets and turboprops.

Following are some tips on ‘bagging a beauty’ …

M

Don’t Rush Your Selection

As the calendar year draws to a close, the number of buyers entering the market tends to increase along with the number of sellers. The majority of these buyers are current owners looking to upgrade their aircraft – a dynamic that will feed additional aircraft onto the used market.

Tax laws tend to favor new aircraft acquisitions at year’s end, which will likely create knock-on opportunities for buyers of used equipment. Buyers of new aircraft typically are current owners that need to make room for their shiny new acquisition.

While there are a lot of drivers that could stimulate market activity past December 31, generally speaking, Q1 tends to slow down somewhat. If you can wait until after the New Year to buy, you may find less competition in the market and less pressure on the transaction.

That said, only time will tell exactly how the market will change.

New tax law in the US could motivate more buyers to upgrade, thereby creating more competition for your next aircraft. Starting sooner rather than later is going to open more options provided you don’t rush and you make a well-informed decision to buy the right jet at the right value when you are ready.

Be Prepared & Market Savvy

Before making an offer, have financing and operational factors in place and know the market.

The market may have ostensibly dried up, but the better informed you are about all of the available options and their true acquisition value (including cost of upcoming maintenance and upgrade requirements), the more likely that you will make the right decision.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

You should know price and upgrade/ maintenance costs for: • The recent transactions within the market ; • Competitive aircraft within the marketplace; and • The aircraft ‘For Sale’ that are not advertised on the open market.

You should also be prepared to consider all aircraft models within your field, and in doing so, position yourself to identify a potential – perhaps less obvious – bargain.

Market awareness will ultimately enable you to make a first offer close enough to get traction with the seller, and give both parties the confidence to follow through.

The pre-offer process should be structured in a way that lessens the chance of any surprises popping up after an offer is made, whether about the aircraft itself or your internal factors like financing and operations. A buyer who tries to renegotiate an offer after learning about the act ual cost of an upcoming inspection or their cost of ownership will quickly be downgraded by the seller as a high-risk prospect with a lower closing probability.

Immediately the seller will look to other buyers that seem more solid. At best this scenario will drag out the process. You may even gain a reputation as an unreliable buyer within the selling community. Before making an offer, be sure to know the ins and outs of the specific aircraft you are considering and have your financing and operating structure established.

Value Doesn’t Always Equal Price

The airplane you may have seen over the summer that is now sold could have gone above or below current market value, but consideration of the multiple factors that can impact the selling price may reveal more to the sale than was immediately apparent.

Using the services of an experienced aircraft acquisition agent will help bring insight into recent sales, including the value of upgrades and the aircraft’s maintenance history to help paint an accurate picture of the marketplace.

The right agent will also structure your acquisition process and negotiate with sellers in a way that puts you at the front of the line with the aircraft you want, bringing together the other aspects of the transaction and operation to get you flying in the right direction. T

BOARDROOM T OWNERSHIP

Should Aircraft Owners Worry About Their Pilots?

FAA Enforcement Hurts

In late October 2017, an aircraft owner related a situation where a pilot he hired may have offered the owner’s aircraft to others for charters. He worried that the pilot had acted illegally. David G. Mayer discusses the matter further… espite his uncertainty, the owner fired the pilot.

That was a wise move in his case, since the situation closely resembled the facts in a very recent enforcement action by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concerning charters that violated the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), described here.

Unfortunately, illegal charters can affect many people— passengers, owners and pilots as well as the reputation of on-demand providers who follow the rules. All the pain that ensues improper charters can be avoided by proper structuring of ownership and operations, coupled with diligence and appropriate compliance efforts.

D

104

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

Illegal charters exist globally, not just in the United States. As such, the FAA’s action illustrates the circumstance of a potentially serious problem.

The Situation

On June 29, 2017, the FAA revoked the commercial pilot certificate of a professional aviator for conducting illegal charter flights as “pilot in command.” Neither he nor two other companies involved had authority to operate the aircraft in that manner. In fact, the pilot admitted that he and his own company never held an air carrier certificate, that he did not complete required proficiency and line checks for FAR Part 135 operations, and that he did not complete any approved training program for charter operators.

Further, even the ‘dry lease’ that the aircraft owner entered into with a passenger’s company was deemed invalid. On September 7, 2017, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) affirmed the FAA’s and administrative judge’s finding that the captain violated all applicable provisions in 14 C.F.R. 

BOARDROOM T OWNERSHIP

Parts 119 and 135 of the FAR. The NTSB concluded that pilot acted illegally as a “common carrier” by “holding out” as willing to transport persons or property from place to place for “compensation”.

Such findings, which may end a pilot’s career, generally occur only one short step away from the aircraft owner, even though the owner unknowingly failed to comply with or ignored applicable FAR. Perhaps the most frequent violation occurs when a limited liability company (LLC) that exists solely to own the aircraft provides transportation services for the aircraft owner. Such an LLC is called a “flight department company”, and to operate legally it must hold an air carrier certificate. Without such approval, the flight department company flagrantly violates the FAR. Owners often lack awareness or concern of their violations, which is understandable. They assume their ownership and operating structures must be compliant because neither they nor their friends have ever seen or heard from the FAA. Besides, it is hard to understand the FAA’s arcane rules.

Regulatory compliance efforts may also feel like an unnecessary irritation they can simply ignore even if they have heard about them.

False Comfort

Most aircraft owners and operators escape FAA scrutiny primarily because the FAA does not have the resources to enforce its regulations against quiet transgressors. Owners and pilots, however, should not take comfort in the odds against being found due to the FAA’s limited resources. State tax authorities, local FAA authorities and even neighbors on their ramps may report them or raise their profile to the FAA. To facilitate appropriate actions against owners and pilots, 106

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

the FAA has adopted an enforcement policy that includes its Sanction Guidance Table in FAA Order 2150.3B, Appendix B. The policy provides a variety of tools for the FAA should the agency find violations, including assessing civil penalties against aircraft owners of up to $27,000 per violation. One aircraft departure can trigger multiple $27,000 fines.

Consider these three takeaways: (1) The FAA may prioritize discipline of pilots; accordingly, pilots should concentrate on delivering lawful services and know the FAR that pertains to their operations; (2) Owners are not free from enforcement risk, especially if the FAA investigates their pilots. Once the FAA connects the dots, the FAA can quickly expand its investigation to the aircraft owner. And, even if the FAA leaves the owner alone, the loss of a pilot can disrupt travel of those owners and passengers who count on aircraft availability; and (3) Failure to create an ownership and operating structure that complies with the FAR poses both potentially costly and unnecessary risks to pilots, owners and operators alike.

The professional aviator in this case study crossed the red line in a big way, but the FAA typically does not require that gravity of violations of FARs to hurt a pilot’s career or forcefully step into the owner’s world. T

Two Decades of Dedication to Bombardier Service

LBAS Celebrates 20-Years of Continual Growth and Momentum Two decades ago, spurred by the vision of Bernhard Conrad, Bombardier Aerospace and Lufthansa Technik signed a joint venture to launch Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services. Twenty years on, that venture has never looked back. Following is a brief overview of its many highlights… pening its hangar doors in 1997, Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS) began operations at Berlin Brandenburg International Airport with just 17 employees. Demand for the services of the new joint venture (one of only two Bombardier service centers in Europe) was immediately apparent.

During the first year of operations the team

O 110

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – December 2017

performed 20,000 hours of work on two aircraft platforms – the Bombardier Learjet and Bombardier Challenger series business aircraft.

By 1998, Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services had appointed Andreas Kaden as its CEO. Kaden would remain at the helm for 13 years, and is credited with playing a major role in shaping the company into what it has become today

Signing of the joint venture agreement between Lufthansa Technik and Bombardier Aerospace in 1997.

First ever Bombardier Global Express in Europe is welcomed at LBAS in 2000.

Growing Capability

The new millennium brought many new opportunities for LBAS. For example, Bombardier had introduced the ultra-long-range, large cabin Global Express to its in-production fleet, and in 2000, shortly after it had entered service the very first Global Express to be maintained in Europe was welcomed by staff at LBAS’s facility.

As its personnel and capabilities continued to grow, in 2004 LBAS introduced an Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support team, adding capability to respond to the needs of any Bombardier operators grounded by unexpected maintenance issues.

Then a year later, in 2005 LBAS received a major boost when ExecuJet joined the venture as a shareholder, providing the catalyst for the company to grow exponentially. Under the joint venture, Lufthansa Technik would hold a controlling share of 51%, while Bombardier Aerospace and ExecuJet would hold 29% and 20% shares respectively.

As LBAS continued to expand its portfolio of offerings for Bombardier operators, in 2007 it rolled out a new capability in the form of Continuing Airworthiness Management Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Organization (CAMO) services.

As a requirement for aircraft used for private or public transport within the EASA region, Continuing Airworthiness Management is designed to help operators achieve better dispatch reliability, improve their safety levels and reduce the overall cost of operation by bringing the various threads relating to ongoing airworthiness into one point of contact.

All the while, LBAS kept busy identifying and developing strategic partnerships with suppliers and service providers to enhance the experience of Bombardier jet operators throughout Europe and beyond.

New Leadership, Same Direction

In 2011, a change in leadership occurred when Andreas Kaden made the decision to step down as CEO. He was replaced by Christoph Meyerrose as Managing Director.

Having started with 17 staff and limited capabilities, by the time Kaden left the company LBAS had seen its staff-base expand to 150. Its service offerings had also developed to make LBAS a one-stop-shop maintenance solution for Learjet,

Challenger and Global customers not only within Europe, but in the Middle East, Africa and the CIS. By this time, the forward momentum was significant, and there would be no sign of any slowing under Meyerrose’s tenure that continues into today.

Over 300 suppliers, and strategic partnerships with Rockwell Collins, Rolls Royce, Honeywell, Satcom Direct, Lufthansa Technik, Gogo, F/LIST (and many more) exist today helping broaden and deepen LBAS’s service offerings. Meanwhile 220 staff are employed by LBAS, and will work a projected 187,000 hours in 2017 in the service of Bombardier jet operators.

During the first 20 years, a total of 2.2 million man-hours have been devoted by LBAS on Bombardier Business Aircraft. Many innovations were initiated, including the first mid-life inspection on a Global Express and Challenger 604 anywhere in the world, the world’s fastest 96month inspection, performance of the first 8-C-check in Europe and many other milestones.

In addition to Business Aviation, LBAS has serviced several government aircraft for the 112

Statement of Intent

In the year it celebrated its 20th anniversary, LBAS sent a clear message of intent for its next 20 years of service. In September 2017, it opened a Moscow location to better position the company to serve its growing CIS customer-base.

With the new branch LBAS began offering line maintenance services in the brand-new Hangar 14, located at Vnukovo-3. Subsequently it provides AOG services in Moscow’s three main airports (Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo) and throughout Russia and the CIS region.

Evidently, LBAS has its sights set far beyond the impressive measure of success it enjoyed in its first 20 years of operations. “We aim to maximize the availability of business jets. We will continue to do everything to lead the competition and to add new Bombardier aircraft programs to our product portfolio,” promises Meyerrose.
