OUR PRE-OWNED JETS HAVE NO SECRETS. (UNLESS YOU COUNT THE RAFALE).

Some secrets are best left untold. But not when you’re buying a pre-owned business jet. At Dassault, we track every Falcon’s maintenance records from the moment it rolls off the production line. So we can report fully on every detail of its condition. And, as with any Falcon, we will always be there to ensure you gain the most from your asset, and that it retains its best value. So when you choose a pre-owned Falcon from Dassault, there won’t be any surprises. Just astonishing performance and efficiency.

The Beauty of Basics

T

oday’s headlines are not for the faint of heart. Too many regions of the world are mired in conflict ranging from political uncertainty to outright hostilities. Displaced peoples are struggling to find refuge from war, and life is very difficult for millions of refugees.

Against that background of human tragedy, the specter of economic slowdown - if not recession - looms large in reports flooding print, TV and electronic media. The fortunate nations (such the US and parts of Europe) show only slow growth of around 2.0% or less.

Where GDP is expanding, such as China, the growth is less than expected, therefore causing economic shockwaves. Equity markets have reacted negatively.

As the US plunges more deeply into the volatile process of selecting candidates for this fall’s presidential election, the rhetoric grows increasingly vitriolic. No wonder some observers ask ‘what’s next’.

Perhaps it’s understandable that the market for business aircraft has responded negatively.

Valuations that once were thought to depreciate by 3-4% annually are dropping about 9-10%. Hopefully a turnaround is near, but for now caution seems to prevail.

In the midst of negativity, we must not abandon the basics. Transportation is an enabling technology for economic growth and improved quality of life. In today’s global economy, travel by air is essential, and air transportation comes in two forms—Scheduled Airlines and Business Aviation. There is a basic need for the type of transportation provided by business aircraft.

Readers of AvBuyer know the facts: Scheduled Airlines serve the relatively few city pairs that generate high demand from multiple travelers. But many of the opportunities for economic growth exist in locations where demand for travel is insufficient to attract the Scheduled Airlines. Business Aviation is the only means of viable travel for corporations

and entrepreneurs seeking investment opportunities.

Focus on the basic need for Business Aviation. Avoid being distracted by all the negative noise that seems so easy to amplify.

In This issue…

AvBuyer is committed to providing you with the intelligence you need to capitalize on the basic good news of using General Aviation aircraft for business transportation. For example, in this month’s High-Flyer’s case study (p56), Dr. Michael Gregory speaks on how essential Business Aviation is to the operations of his organization, Apogee Physicians.

We also urge you to digest our Business Aviation Market Summary (p20) where you’ll find meaningful data and insights that enable you to better understand what’s happening globally and respond appropriately to market opportunities.

In response to market conditions, there are attractive opportunities for the buyers who import non-US registered aircraft and we proudly offer the advice of Attorney Jessica L. Pownell on the ins and outs of importing aircraft into the US. According to James Cooling, her associate at Cooling & Herbers, P.C., the demand for importation transactions has increased measuredly in recent months.

GAMA’s year-end results, which were available only a few weeks ago, are analyzed

by Mike Potts and available for your consideration. Mike Chase compares the Challenger 605 alongside the Falcon 2000LX in this month’s Aircraft Comparative Analysis while Values and Specifications Data is offered for Entry-Level and Small jets.

We trust you’ll enjoy this month’s edition and find it a useful tool to aid your Business Aviation needs.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Business Aviation Market Summary Thoughts of spring may be in the air in the Northern Hemisphere, but the market-

place for business aircraft is struggling to gain traction in an environment of cold,

buffeting winds notes Market Indicators Editor, Rollie Vincent.

ear-end business jet shipments in 2015 were effectively flat year-over-year on a units basis, with most buyers focused on newer models and most manufacturers drawing down their firm order backlogs through the year.

The story of 2015 – and one that we believe will continue to be written in 2016 – is all about aircraft prices and valuations.

As an industry, 2015 marked an inflection point in aircraft value diminution, with most appraisers and lenders/lessors coming to the conclusion that value curves need to be steepened. With few exceptions – the Pilatus PC-12 standing aside as holding its value better than almost anything that flies with humans aboard these days – the new reality is that business aircraft values are slipping by about 9-10% annually, which is 2-3 times faster than previously seen.

Buyers have numerous excuses to be skittish, whether from reading the latest ‘Breaking News’ about seemingly endless crises, or watching their stock portfolios diminish in value. Unease about the manner in which the Chinese government is managing its currency and intervening in local stock markets is just the latest in an ongoing series of developments that have changed the BRIC outlook and shaken investor confidence.

Compounding the challenges facing many buyers outside the United States is the continuing strength of the greenback, the currency in which aircraft transactions are almost exclusively negotiated.

Y

Tepid Economics

The outlook in 2016 for economic expansion is generally tepid.

Amongst the top 20 business jet country markets, just four – India, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – are expected to grow the GDP at a 3% or higher rate this year. Together, these four ‘emerging’ markets had just 821 business jets based in their territories, representing 4% of the world fleet at the end of 2015, according to JETNET. China, with almost half of that total, has quickly gone from the darling source of orders to a fading stamp in many sales people’s passports. Most remarkable is the suddenness of change in Mainland China, where new aircraft deliveries are down 80% or more from their recent peaks in 2013-2014. Interestingly, demand for new aircraft going into Hong Kong has remained relatively steady for the 20

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

last seven years, despite all the up-and-down dynamics of Mainland China influences (see Table A, top right).

In the US, the latest GDP forecasts are for about 2.4% growth in 2016, virtually unchanged from last year. In the European Area (EA 19 countries), GDP growth is expected to be about 1.6%, with considerable country-to-country variation. Growth will be somewhat stronger in the UK and the Eurozone periphery (especially Ireland and Spain) and modestly weaker in France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. Germany is expected to grow at about 1.7%, continuing a multi-year trend of modest recovery in Europe’s largest national economy and export powerhouse.

For near-term sales prospects, we continue to be bullish on prospects in Mexico, the world’s #2 country market for business jets. Basking in the warmth of sub-tropical breezes from the Caribbean and Pacific coasts – and the glow of trade and investment opportunities emanating from its northern border – Mexico is exceptionally well paced to take advantage of business opportunities in the new “post globalization” era.

Sometimes overlooked in the rush to do business in China and other Asian markets are more traditional North-South trade and investment opportunities available within a time zone or two of where most business aircraft owners and operators happen to be based. Jet lag? What’s that again?

TABLE A

TABLE B

iQ Survey, Q4 2015

JETNET iQ’s Q4 2015 Global Business Aviation Survey of more than 500 business aircraft owners and operators in 60 countries once again confirmed that the most buoyant market is in North America, where more than two-thirds of respondents feel that Business Aviation is past the low point in the current business cycle (see Table B, right).

In a measure of owner/operator sentiment, optimists outnumber pessimists in North America by more than 4.6-1.

Results for Latin America are dragged down by low scores from Brazil, where the national economy is expected to shrink by 2.6% despite the investment and tourism benefits associated with the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

The sharp devaluation of the Brazilian Real – now trading at about 4-to-$1 US (down more than 40% year-over-year) with the Brazilian government facing budget and legitimacy crises, and bond rating agencies reclassifying sovereign loans to junk status.

The Sum of It All?

What does all this imply for business aircraft sales in 2016? At this point, we do not foresee any significant shifts in the macroeconomic outlook. The US will continue to be front-andcenter, accounting for more than 60% of the sales/new aircraft delivery activity last year, and probably much the same in 2016.

Price pressures will continue to be intense, as OEMs are, at least in our view, collectively over-supplying the market based on current demand levels. Utilization rates remain well below prior levels – in fact, total business jet cycles recorded by the FAA in 2015 have only now recovered to 2003 levels, despite a 49% increase in the size of the fleet.

We expect modest downward adjustments in production rates at the higher-end of the business jet market (with the exception of the Gulfstream G650/650ER, which remains alone for the time being at the top of the market), countered by what looks to be an increasingly intense competition for business in the mid-size and light jet segments.

Incumbent OEMs facing new and enhanced competition are not surprisingly – fighting to maintain market share against some Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

compelling new product offerings. With production ramp-up of the Citation Latitude, Legacy 450/500, and HondaJet, we expect that unit business jet shipments in 2016 will actually surpass those of 2015, although average delivery values will fall as the mix of aircraft shifts down-market.

We believe that the high-water mark has already been achieved regarding average delivery values, which peaked near a remarkable $30m per new business jet shipment, based on list prices.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS RICHARD ABOULAFIA

The World Reflected by Dassault To understand the aerospace industry, says Richard Aboulafia, you should follow at least 100 companies. To understand the world today, you need only follow one aerospace company…

You can see most of the horrible headlines that we’ve come to associate with late 2015 and the first month of 2016 reflected in Dassault. For analysts and students of global affairs, Dassault is an almost impossibly convenient combination of two unique units.

The military side is unique in that it’s the only independent fighter manufacturer that builds solely high-end fighters. The civil side, FalconJet, is unique in that it’s the world's only business jet company that builds solely high-end models (>$30m).

Historically, the company’s FalconJet unit was a minority part of the corporation, while the majority came from fighters. But since the 1990s, global wealth creation and France’s shrinking role in world defense (exports, domestic procurement and military operations) had upended Dassault’s business mix. By 1995, the company was routinely delivering more Falcons than fighters.

Reversing Trends Again…

However, 2015 saw the relationship between these two units reversed again. Last year, just 55 Falcon Jets were delivered, about ten fewer than most forecasters expected (me included); 11 fewer than 2014, and the lowest number since 2005. Sales dropped by 72% from 2014 to just 25 Falcons, meaning for the first time since the 1990s the company sold more fighters than business jets. The company sold its first 48 Rafale export planes after three decades of failed sales campaigns. The Falcon backlog fell to 91. The Rafale backlog is now 83 aircraft. Compare this near 1:1 ratio to the backlog in late 2014 (121 Falcons and 43 Rafale, or 3:1 Civil-to-Military).

Dassault’s Falcon misfortunes are completely understandable.

Their strongest markets have been resource-rich countries (the Mideast, Russia, Brazil, etc.). In 2015, resource prices, particularly for oil, collapsed. This helped clobber economies and markets.

Somehow, the first two weeks of this year saw world stock markets fall by over $3tn, and equities prices have always been linked to business jet demand.

Capital flows to emerging markets turned viciously negative last year (about $750bn in the red). According to the IMF, oil exporter countries’ current accounts went from a $600bn surplus a few years ago to almost nothing in 2015.

Conflicts in Yemen, Syria, Libya, and against ISIS, domestic procurement requirements, and of course propping up poor allies with defense equipment are big requirements today. Dassault benefited from all of this. Egypt, strangely enough, became the first non-French Rafale operator, because their oil-rich (but cashhemorrhaging) Gulf allies paid for them.

Dassault benefitted last year because of another unique aspect of its military business: it’s the only non-US Western fighter prime that has solely domestic content. Buy a Gripen and your engine is from the US. Buy a Eurofighter and you’re buying a plane built by four nations. But if you buy a Rafale, all of its systems are French.

Looking at history, there’s no risk of France cutting you off from spares and support. And given France’s active Mideast foreign policy and military presence, the country makes a good strategic partner.

This year should see Dassault’s businesses continue to reflect all of these global trends, to an even greater degree. Expect either or both the India and UAE Rafale deals to be signed, adding 36-96 more export sales to the order book. Expect Falcon sales this year to remain weak.

Financing Change Afoot, Says CIT Predicting a number of changes for the business aircraft financing market in 2016, Michael Francis, VP sales (US-East) for CIT Business Aircraft Finance, is monitoring three key areas: aircraft values, interest rates and bank regulations.

“Aircraft values have been fairly volatile over the past several years, and residuals may not stabilize in 2016,” said Francis. “A significant challenge for lenders is predicting an aircraft’s value to ensure that the loan has sufficient collateral value protection.”

Looking at new aircraft orders and overall transaction activity, there is still uncertainty in the market. “When lenders are unsure where business aircraft values are headed, it creates a challenge for us, especially with lease financing,” Francis said.

Additionally, compliance with the ADS-B mandate will affect values of older aircraft and those financed with longer-term deals.

“Having the correct avionics to fly in Europe and in the US is a consideration because it is a factor in the residual value of the aircraft.”

Interest rates is the second area deserving attention. A rate increase was recently announced by the Federal Reserve. ”Though not a large increase, rates could continue to increase in 26

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

years to come,” Francis notes. The financial regulatory environment is also changing. “Regulated banks have implemented the necessary policies and systems that address new regulatory requirements. One change borrowers could see from these new regulations are higher rates, which stem from higher economic reserves banks must place against loans.”

Over the past few years some new lenders have entered the market. They’ve been more active outside the US market, but that seems to be changing as they finance older aircraft and credits that regulated banks are not comfortable lending on.

2015 Year-End Used Aircraft Market Review

Key worldwide used aircraft market trends across all aircraft segments were compared December 2015 to December 2014 by JETNET. Here are the findings...

Highlighted in Table A (above) are key worldwide trends across all pre-owned aircraft market sectors, as well as 2015 year-end and comparisons to 2014.

Most market sectors show higher inventory for sale, with fewer full-sale transactions in 2015 compared to 2014.

The Fleet ‘For Sale’ percentages for all market sectors (except for Piston Helicopters and Commercial Airliner Jets) were higher in the December comparisons, with Commercial and Business Turboprops up the most (1.2% and 0.7%, respectively).

Across all market sectors, JETNET is reporting 8,296 full retail sale transactions for 2015. In 2014, this number was 8,544, representing a decrease of 248 (2.9%) fewer transactions in 2015.

Business Jets had almost 2,500 transactions in 2015, and when combined with Commercial Airliners (1,807 transactions) accounted for 51% of the total of 8,296 transactions recorded last year. Business Jets are taking less time to sell (44 days) than last year. However, there was an 11.6% increase in average asking price, with a 4.3% decrease in retail sale transactions.

Business Turboprops decreased 5.9% in retail sale transactions in 2015, with an increase in asking price of 3.0%. Further analysis of the asking price increase has revealed that, on average, newer aircraft were sold in 2015 vs.

2014.

In summary, JETNET notes that the recovery in Business Aviation during the post-recession period has been underwhelming. Now that 2016 is here, it is hoped the US Pre-Owned market, along with improvements in the world economy, will continue to push more new aircraft purchases for the new year.

As for now, it continues to be a buyer’s market environment, with PreOwned For Sale inventories running at 11.5%.

Hagerty Gulfstream Market Observations The Hagerty Jet Group’s Gulfstream

Market Update reports 12 large cabin transactions in the past 12 months totalling over $300m, including six G550s changing owners (15% of all transactions for this model in 2015)...

The Market Update indicates premiums for new delivery re-sales of G650s that are trending down as supply continues to build.

Pre-owned aircraft with new ask prices dipped below $60m for the first time.

Meanwhile, strong activity remains in G550/GV/GIV-SP markets with increased trading activity over their respective 2014 numbers, driven in part by large price reductions and value buyers. G450 market stagnation was evident after a strong Q2 2015, added Hagerty.

Fuel Sales Survey Notes 2015 Increases Aviation Business Strategies Group (ABSG)

has released the results of its annual fuel sales survey and forecast, noting an increase in FBO fuel sales in 2015...

According to ABSG’s principals, John Enticknap and Ron Jackson, 54% of the aviation service providers in the US reported an increase in fuel sales last year compared with 2014. That continues a trend over the past several years, with 49% noting an increase in 2014 and 43% in 2013.

“This is the first time since we started the survey that more than 50% of the respondents experienced an increase in fuel sales over the previous year,” noted Enticknap. “Although the benchmark numbers show a positive trend, nearly 30% of the FBOs participating in our recent survey had a decrease in sales. This is still a fractured marketplace that is showing some positive signs of recovery.”

Looking ahead, more than 90% of the respondents to the survey said they expect to see the same or increased fuel sales this year compared to 2015, Jackson added. “If this forecast holds up, 2016 could prove to be a watershed year for the industry,” he predicted.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

European Transaction Levels Stable London-based Colibri Aircraft recently published a report on business aircraft sales activity during 2015; a year characterized by large price decreases but a stable level of transactions in terms of the number of aircraft sold.

While aircraft sales in the USA remained strong during 2015, Europe was a net seller of aircraft with the three largest markets (Germany, UK and France) all seeing their private jet fleets shrink as the trend towards sales to the US continued.

Mid-size aircraft (i.e. Citation Excel and the XLS) held their values quite well and saw a large decline in available inventory as buyers realised the value these aircraft offer. Light Jets held up well in terms of the number of transactions with the Citation Mustang being the highest-selling aircraft to European buyers. The Citation Bravo was the second highest selling aircraft in Europe.

There were some sectors that saw major changes. For example the large aircraft market went from being quite resilient to seeing some of the largest price discounts.

Of the top 10 selling aircraft to European buyers, seven were light jets, one was mid-size and two were large

cabin aircraft. The high sale of light jets is largely attributable to the incredible value they represent.

There were some reasons to be positive. 2015 saw a number of transactions by European buyers for smaller and older aircraft with European lenders providing aircraft finance. Lack of finance has been a huge issue in recent years and the entry of the banks into the older European private aircraft market is a very positive indicator toward a much more buoyant market. Hopefully this trend will see more buyers coming to the market.

Forward-Looking…

So what can be expected for 2016? “We believe the large price decreases of 2015 will continue into 2016,” predicts Oliver Stone, MD, Colibri Aircraft. “However, there will still be strong transaction numbers as the aircraft on offer are of such good value, particularly among the 8+ year-old aircraft that have seen the bulk of their depreciation already.

Markets are tough, but deals are happening. Vigilance and persistence will be the name of the game in 2016.”

In-Service Aircraft Maintenance Condition & Price An Asset Insight analysis conducted on January 29, 2016 covering 91 fixed-wing models and 1,857 aircraft listed for sale revealed an “Excellent” Asset Insight Quality Rating...

A slight increase in aircraft Maintenance Exposure was found (see Table A, opposite) along with a 2.5% improvement in average Ask Prices and some improvement in the Maintenance Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio.

Asset Insight Quality Rating (AIQ Rating): The Asset Insight Quality Rating

improved by 4.6 AI2 basis points to 5.305, compared to last month’s 5.259, on the AIQ Rating scale of -2.5 to 10.

Maintenance Exposure (ATFE Value):

Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated maintenance financial exposure) worsened 1.4% over the past month, increasing by $19k to $1.427m from $1.408m. By aircraft group, the Asset Quality Rating and Maintenance Exposure figures were as follows: • Large Jets: ‘Outstanding’ asset quality – the best among the four groups – and, at 5.516, six AI2 basis point better than last month’s figure. Maintenance Exposure remained relatively unchanged and near the group’s 12month low point.

• Medium Jets: ‘Excellent’ asset quality at 5.275, and 3.1 AI2 basis point better than last month’s figure, placing the group in third place. Maintenance Exposure increased/worsened slightly compared to last month, when it registered the group’s 12-month low figure.

• Small Jets: Remained in second place with ‘Excellent’ asset quality at 5.311, a 3.2 AI2 basis point improvement over December’s figure. Maintenance Exposure remained relatively unchanged, near the group’s 12-month low/best.

• Turboprops: ‘Very Good’ asset quality at 5.067, a 6.3 AI2 basis point increase/improvement. Maintenance Exposure decreased/improved nearly 4%, registering a 12-month best figure.

Price) narrowed nearly 51 percentage points (see Table B), while the average ETP Ratio improved to 51.5% from last month’s 52.3%, generally thanks to increased Ask Prices.

Asset Insight considers any figure above 40% to represent excessive Asset Exposure in relation to Ask Price, and the industry average has continually exceeded the 40% level since March 2014.

Large Jets: A 0.9% improvement in ETP Ratio at 33.9% versus last month’s 34.2% the lowest/best Ratio among all groups – and a 0.5% Ask Price increase to $15.41m.

With Asset Quality just below the group’s 12-month high, it will be interesting to see if values are able to regain lost ground any time soon.

Table A

Table B

Medium Jets: ETP Ratio improved from 55.2% to 53.8%, while Ask Prices increased 4.5% to $3.57m, potentially offering relief to Sellers following five consecutive monthly decreases.

Small Jets: The ETP Ratio for Small Jets worsened/increased another 0.7%, to 70.6% from 70.1% (the worst ETP Ratio among the four groups). Small Jets remained in second position relative to Asset Quality, and Maintenance Exposure is near the group’s 12-month low/best figure. However, average Ask Prices have dropped so far – losing another 3.8% this month – that one can only hope this provides Buyers and Sellers sufficient motivation to structure transactions.

Turboprops: ETP Ratio remained second best among all sectors for the Turboprops, decreasing to 42.4% from 44.1%, while average Ask Price improved 0.9% to $1.59m – slightly higher than the group’s 12-month average. With Maintenance Exposure posting a 12-month low figure, and Asset Quality registering above the group’s 12-month average, this would seem to be an opportune time for Buyers to act.

Market Summary

Low Ask Prices continue to plague Sellers, while Buyers continue to have some great selections – thanks to generally good Asset Quality combined with relatively low Maintenance Exposure.

The traditional Q4 “deal-making” period did not prove to be as robust this year as it was in 2014, so if you are truly in the market for an in-service aircraft, it Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

would be difficult to imagine a better purchasing environment than what exists today.

GAMA 2015 Year-End Shipment Analysis At times during 2015 it looked like new aircraft shipments were picking up, notes Mike Potts. But the year closed on a flat note, as detailed in GAMA’s year-end 2015 delivery report. Here’s the analysis… nly one segment in GAMA’s 2015 yearend report – business jets – finished ahead of last year…by a paltry 1.6%.

The jet total listed in GAMA’s report was 654, compared with 644 last year. Turboprops, as reported by GAMA, were down 7.6%, at 557 units compared to 603 in 2014 and pistons lagged by 6.5%, at 1,056 against 1,129 in the prior year.

Aircraft shipments as listed by GAMA totaled 2,267 aircraft, down by 4.6% from 2,376 in 2014.

Billings were listed at $20.9 billion, down 4% from $21.8 billion a year ago.

Now if you follow these things you could be forgiven for thinking: “Wait a minute…weren’t total

billings more like $24.5 billion last year? And wasn’t the jet market above 700 units last year?” You’d be right; they were, but Bombardier – the leading OEM of business jets by a substantial margin in rece nt years – didn’t report its Q4 results in time to meet GAMA’s deadline.

As it has in the past when confronted with missing data, and locked into a reporting schedule too late to adjust, GAMA moved to create an apples-to-apples comparison by removing the comparable data from the previous year’s report, basing its numbers on the adjusted data.

When this has happened before the numbers have been small and di dn’t matter very much. This

www.AVBUYER.com

Aircraft Index see Page 145

GAMA March16.qxp_GAMA DEC05 17/02/2016 10:08 Page 2

time, however, the size of the missing data is large – 78 airplanes worth $2.7 billion. That’s the total Bombardier reported in Q4 2014. The unfortunate result is that several of the key metrics in GAMA’s 2015 delivery report, including total shipments, total billings and total jet deliveries are simply wrong, possibly by quite a wide margin.

We’ll update in next month’s Market Indicators section when Bom bardier reports. In the meantime there’s still plenty of interest to find in analyzing the details of the report as issued.

The Jet Market Looking at the specifics of the jet market, there’s a lot going on. A new jet manufacturer, Honda, has joined the list, so there are now nine OEMs reporting to GAMA. Among them, five had improved results for the year, three lost ground, and one (Bombardier) of course remains to be seen.

For the quarter, however, only two had improved results, two matched their 2014 performance, four lost ground and one is unknown.

Clearly Q4 2015 was a disappointment for the jet market. Barring a complete collapse, Bombardier will finish first in jet deliveries, probably with around 200 units.

Cessna will be in second place with 166, up 4.4% from the 159 it reported in 2014. For Cessna to overtake Bombardier, the Montreal-based company would have to report fewer than 31 Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

deliveries in Q4. Considering that Bombardier’s weakest quarterly delivery in 2015 was 43 units, such a result seems extremely unlikely.

Cessna’s second place finish came on a fairly strong Q4 surge – 36.14%, which amounted to 60 units – and that carried it past Gulfstream, which had been in second place at the end of Q2 and Q3.

Even a modest surge would have seen Gulfstream finish in second place, but it had none.

In fact, just 24.67% of Gulfstream’s total (38 units) came in Q4. That was four fewer than in 2014 when it had 42 Q4 deliveries. Gulfstream finished the year with 154 units, four ahead of the 150 it reported in 2014. Gulfstream may have finished third in unit deliveries but was solidly in first place in billings, w ith a total exceeding $8.2bn.

Bombardier will be second – the only real question being by how wide the margin? At the end of Q3 Bombardier’s billings totaled $5.06bn.

Based on its delivery-number and billings totals earlier in the year, a Q4 with more than 87 deliveries will be required to match Gulfstream’s billings. That would amount to a surge of more than 39% (not impossible, but given the apparent ove rall weakness of the jet market in Q4, unlikely).

Embraer was solidly in fourth place for jet deliveries with 120 for the year and 45 for the quarter. That compares with 116 for the year and 52 in Q4 2014. Dassault was fifth with 55, down from 66 a year ago. The GAMA report lists 37 shipments for Dassault in Q4, but earlier this year Dassault changed its reporting procedure and now only reports every Q2 a nd Q4, so what appears to be a strong Q4 is really a total for a six-month period.

Sixth place in jet deliveries is held by Boeing, will 11 BBJs for the year, up one from its 2014 total of 10. One Aviation, formerly Eclipse, was in seventh place with seven deliveries, down from 12 a year ago. One’s prior year-total was impacted by having work-in-process inventory when the company resumed operations, so the apparent shortfall this year is a little misleading and should be discounted. Airbus finished in eighth place with four deliveries, down from five a year ago.

Honda brought up the rear in the jet market with two deliveries. These came as the Japanese company finally attained FAA certification for its jet in the final two weeks of the year. Honda has a lot of inventory ready to go, and is likely to see to tal deliveries in the mid-30 range for 2016.

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.

“Among them, five had improved results for the year, three lost ground, and one (Bombardier) of course remains to be seen.”

The Turboprop Market In the turboprop segment, discounting the agricultural airplanes, the results are better than GAMA’s headlines suggest. Single-engine business turboprops finished slightly ahead of last year, with 295 deliveries compared with 293 in 2014. Twin turboprops, however, finished a little behind – 120 in 2015 against 129 the year before. Totaled, t hen, www.AVBUYER.com

“The turboprop market came in a little under the 425 to 430 units we had forecast...”

traditional business turboprops closed out the year with 415 deliveries, compared with 422 in 2014 (-1.66 %).

The turboprop market came in a little under the 425 to 430 units we had forecast, with five of the nine turboprop builders reporting better numbers than a year ago.

The leading turboprop manufacturer is Textron’s Beechcraft unit, with 117, followed by Textron stablemate Cessna with 102.

The Beech total was down from the 127 reported last year, but Cessna’s total was up by 8.51% over 94 deliveries last year. Third in turboprop shipments was Pilatus down two from 76 in 2014 to 74 in 2015, followed by DAHER in fourth place with 55, up from 51 the year before.

Somewhat surp risingly, Quest squeezed out Piper for fifth place with 32 units, up from 30. Piper finished with 27, down from 36 the year before.

Pacific Aero was seventh with five deliveries, up from four last year, followed by Piaggio (which usually reports only at year-end) with three, up from two. Extra, which delivered two business turboprops in 2014, made none this year.

Piston Summary The piston segment was off for the first time since 2010, although that was not a huge surprise since it had been lagging through much of last year.

Pistons actually finished a little ahead of the 1,010-1,025 units we were expecting, with a total of 1,056. We can only hope that a downturn in the piston market doesn’t herald coming weakness in turbine aircraft, which it has so often done in the past.

Cirrus led the piston market with 301 deliveries, followed by Cessna with 271. Cessna’s total was spurred by a Q4 surge totaling almost 41%, with 111 deliveries coming in Q4. Other piston OEMs with significant delivery numbers were Diamond with 97 singles plus 46 twins; Tecnam with 68 singles and 21 twins; Piper with 86 singles and 25 twins; Textron Beechcraft with 23 singles and 18 twins; and Extra with 27 singles.

Regardless of Bombardier’s final result (likely 75-80 units), 2015 will go down as yet another year when strong recovery continued to elude the Business Aviation aircraft market… View GAMA’s Year End 2015 Shipment Report in full on page 46

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T AVIATION LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE

Waxing Lyrical About Market Realities

Key Advice for Today’s Aircraft Sellers What have Meghan Trainor’s hits got to do with the Business Aviation industry? Jay Mesinger finds himself applying lyrics to the realities of the used jet sales process.

N

ew aircraft delivery delays, OEM layoffs (due to a reduction in orders), slower growth reported by most industry analysts and bank reporting arms, continued pricing pressures and emerging market paralysis… These are somber times within the Business Aviation industry, but it’s also time to add a little levity to the outlook…

I’m Gonna Love You like I’m Gonna Lose You

Performed by Meghan Trainor and John Legend, the title implies a changed methodology of how to love someone. Might you love them or treat them differently if you could lose them? You wouldn’t take them for granted. You might respect them more…

So how does this possibly apply to an aircraft transaction? If you are a seller and you have a real buyer that’s identifiable, qualified and doing all the right things, ‘love them like you’re gonna lose them’. Treat them with the respect they deserve.

Work diligently to keep them in the deal.

Please don’t compromise the integrity of a transaction. By that I mean that you should never veer from usual and customary practices or take risks in a contract that make the transaction one-sided. Be prepared to build a transaction that may ultimately be for less money than you wanted, but is correct for today’s pricing realities.

Rather than just say ‘no’ to what seems a low price, or be unwilling to fix what needs to be fixed because you feel the price is too low (and therefor the buyer should just take the airplane as it is), work diligently to keep the deal alive.

Typically, that is unlikely to happen to you, but preparing a pricing scheme that embraces the realities of today with your trusted aircraft professional is critical. Bottom line is, ‘love them like you’re gonna lose them’. Don’t dare lose a real deal with a real, qualified buyer!

It's All About that Bass

Consider another Meghan Trainor song, this time focusing on what’s really important – but in this case let’s substitute the word ‘Bass’ for ‘Price’. Today it’s not about all the other noise surrounding an aircraft—it’s just about price.

Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean that great pedigree, wonderful turnkey cosmetics and upgraded equipment don’t have value. I’m not implying these are just ‘noise’. I do mean that the way a buyer values them today won’t necessarily add bottom line value when you sell. More than likely these features will help the airplane sell faster than one that cannot boast these items.

The days of adding dollar-for-dollar amounts to the bottom line of the airplane price for special features are long-gone. I wish I could say that buyers are willing to pay more for more, but 54

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

they’re very concerned about the continued market price declines. These are predictable and easy to track at somewhere between 7-10% annually.

This predictability (at least for now) characterizes a very different landscape than the 2008-time period when the bottom was falling away and the global business conditions were in entirely uncharted territory. Today there’s a more stable floor for aircraft values.

The problem is that the greatest number of market entrants came into our industry as aircraft owners between 2000 and 2007, a period of enormous industry growth. The emerging markets were booming, and it seemed like the golden era would continue forever. This growth cycle would change the valuation component of the annual residual loss rate.

For all those first time entrants who entered the market with the belief that airplanes went up in value each year, or could at least be treated like commodities contrary to the reality of them being depreciating assets, this is a new era. This is reality.

Back to the Beat

Returning to the music, if you have an opportunity to sell to a real buyer who you can identify – if the transaction is not a convoluted maze obscuring the actual buyer and you have a contract that the Escrow agent signs off on and acknowledges that the deposit paid can be bound to the contract signed – hold on to the people involved, as the song says.

If you’re trying to decide how to price the airplane and you believe you can get more if you ask for more, and you’re not acknowledging the reality of the selling comps around you, then you’re ignoring the message of the second song.

Crank up the volume, sit back, listen carefully to the messages and get ready to sell. There are buyers and they’re willing to complete a transaction. However, they’re not going to be willing to over-pay or have terms and conditions that are not usual and customary. They want the same thing you want as a seller.

A fair deal given today’s market is a deal that has all the right and balanced safeguards for both sides. Remember there is no award given for the aircraft that has been on the market the longest. T

BOARDROOM T CASE STUDY

High Flyer’s Interview

Business Aviation Lifts Apogee Physicians to New Heights in Hospital Medicine For Apogee Physicians, Business Aviation plays a critical role in providing high quality care to its hospital partners and their patients, as its Founder and sole shareholder reveals to Rani Singh… n 2002, Dr. Michael Gregory founded Apogee Physicians with two doctors in a single hospital. Since that time Apogee has flourished and expanded to over 700 hospitalists, who annually manage over 1.3 million patient encounters across the United States.

“Success begets success,” Dr. Gregory reflects.

“The reward for a job well done is more hard work and greater opportunity. As we expand, more hospitals recognize the quality of care Apogee delivers and seek us out to care for their patients.

Right now, today, Apogee is caring for 5,000 people within our partner hospitals.

“Having managed over 10 million patient encounters, Apogee understands best practices and provides its hospital partners and their patients with high quality, effective care.”

Unsurprisingly, Apogee finds Business Aviation critical to its business model. “In many corporate flight departments, intervals are a bit of a problem,” Dr. Gregory remarks. “People change their minds, their businesses go up and down, and they open and close flight departments. That’s not our experience.

In fact the first two pilots I ever hired still work for me, and our flight team has expanded to six pilots.”

Initially, the group flew commercially, but many of its hospitals aren’t served by the scheduled airlines.

“We were flying to commercial hubs and then driving,” Dr. Gregory recalls. “Sometimes it would take a day or two to make one visit to a hospital.

With our growth trajectory and number of hospital partners, flying via the commercial airlines simply wasn’t responsive enough or effective.

Rani Singh writes about aviation. A sought after Journalist and author she also reports on news, foreign affairs, politics and business with the world’s largest news organization.

DR MICHAEL GREGORY

“When hospitals decide to contract for hospitalist services, it’s a very big decision for them and may require several interactions before a decision is made,” he adds. “Cultural fit is often a key factor, so for these meetings to be effective they must be done in person, conference calls simply aren’t adequate. As such, the travel schedule is pretty hectic.

“Early in our company history I recognized the advantage of Business Aviation. I think our company was about two years old when we started chartering for specific trips and specific needs. We found, however, our travel needs quickly exceeded chartering responsiveness and economics, and in 2005 we made the decision to purchase an aircraft— a nine-year-old Hawker 800.”

For nearly five years the Hawker put in around 400-500 hours annually. “As our team and business Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

grew our travel requirements expanded beyond what the Hawker could satisfy, so in 2007 we bought a Cessna Citation V. Shortly thereafter, we sold the Hawker 800 and bought a Bombardier Challenger 605. It wasn’t too long before our needs exceeded the capacity of two airplanes and we added a Hawker 850 to the fleet.

“One year ago this month, we traded in the Challenger 605 for a Bombardier Global Express.”

primarily for operational support.

“A key Apogee advantage is all of my operational executives are physicians, which means physicians report to physicians who genuinely understand the requirements and pressures of being at the patient’s bedside. While we operate in 32 states, instead of having corporate offices all over the US, our aircraft allow us to centralize our offices and keep our teams together.

“Instead of having my division presidents consuming a couple days navigating commercial airports and driving several hours to visit a single hospital, our guys can do more with a private airplane in a couple days than they can do in weeks flying commercially. So for us, it really is about time-saving and being responsive to our hospital-partners.”

A strong testament to the validity and utility of corporate aircraft is Apogee’s status as a private company, 100% owned by Dr. Gregory. “Every dollar spent on corporate aviation by Apogee is a dollar that I don’t get,” stated Dr. Gregory.

“Unlike many CEOs working for big publiclytraded companies that enjoy broad capital support, I invest my own money in Corporate Aviation because I believe it’s worth it. It’s expensive. It’s not cheap, but it’s instrumental in our success.”

In addition to efficiency and responsiveness, Dr. Gregory finds that the business jets help in moving his executives and teams around so they can be where they need to be and not be perpetually exhausted. “It’s important that they have a decent work-life balance, so they can be home and involved in their families and communities.

“Since we hold ourselves to a high standard and provide superior support to our hospital-partners and our program-level teams, our executives need to be in the field; as such, our aircraft allow them to do so and maintain a high quality of life at home. I always tell our clients, ‘if you need me, there’s no place I can’t be that’s more than four hours from where I am standing right now. That’s a powerful message.”

Hospitalist Benefits from BizAv

“It’s pretty unusual for us to move physicians around to see our patients,” Dr. Gregory notes. “We have had two of our hospitals destroyed by tornadoes; one in Missouri and the other in Illinois. By the grace of God, none of our physicians were harmed. In both of those instances, within a couple hours of the tornado dissipating, we used our airplanes to bring not only additional physicians to the communities but also much needed relief supplies.”

At Apogee, corporate aircraft primarily support the business and administration of providing hospitalist services and efficiently delivering Apogee’s promise of ‘Safety, Service, Quality and Value’. Dr. Gregory explained that good talent is hard to find, whether you’re Google or Apogee. He cites the example of a 350-bed hospital in a location that does not have good commercial air travel…

“Just recently on a Tuesday, I got a call from the 58

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

Hospital CEO who described the problems he was having with the staff (working for different groups) at his hospital. He was afraid if he stopped using the groups the doctors would leave. I told him I would have a team there within 48 hours.

“On Thursday morning, I had an entire team onsite meeting with these physicians, and analyzing the business model for the hospital. Before leaving on the same Thursday, we presented the hospital with a formal proposal and provided employment contracts to the physicians.

“In less than two days from receiving the CEO’s call, we had a full team onsite, did all the analytics, analyzed the business model, met with the physicians and presented the hospital with a formal proposal.

Aviation Consultants Who Needs Them?

David Wyndham offers an insightful look at the work of consultants in Business Aviation with reference to the practice of his firm…

FIG. A: CONCAVE OR CONVEX?

60

here’s an old joke that a consultant is someone you pay to borrow your watch so he or she can tell you what time it is. In some ways, there is truth in that statement. It depends upon how you approach and use a consultant.

Is the consultant simply telling you what’s obvious, or able to uncover latent facts that are being overlooked? Oft times we are too close to our ‘watch’, so instead of reading the time we stare intently at the second hand ignoring the larger impact of the minutes and hours.

Consider the descending arc represented in Figure A (left) - one that starts at the 12 o’clock position, bulges toward the 3 o’clock position, then bends back to the left and ends at the 6 o’clock position. Is this descending arc concave or convex?

Most of us respond that it’s concave, but it’s also convex! The answer depends upon how you

approach the question. We all have preconceived concepts and ideas, and sometimes those ingrained opinions blind us to what’s going on. A consultant objectively looks at the issue from different angles and may offer fresh insights to a situation. Getting the complete picture and exploring competing points of view are reasons to work with consultants.

Client Needs

Our clients appreciate the value of early planning for key issues such as aircraft replacement. They also have intimate knowledge of their company’s operations, requirements and future opportunities.

In a typical scenario, an Aviation Manager’s boss, the company CEO, asked him about followon aircraft, to which he responded two new jets were needed. “Great”, said the CEO. “Get me a report making the case for your recommendation, and do so as soon as you can.”

Contact him via david@conklindd.com

The Aviation Manager had all the data—in his head, not in document form! He knew that with his busy schedule, he did not have the time to prepare a thorough report outlining the follow-on aircraft that was suitable to the CEO and the Board of Directors. Furthermore, he felt that a second opinion from an independent third party added credibility to the recommendation.

He called us in, we asked the questions, listened intently and talked with the boss. Then we did the analysis, and in the end we delivered a report stating that the company needed two new aircraft, and that the selection the Aviation Manager suggested indeed was the best option.

Did our client waste his money by having us “borrow his watch”? Obviously we felt we added value and that funds spent on our consultancy were worthwhile. The Aviation Manager saved himself a few weeks of his time, got a third party review of his requirements, and had all the docuAdvertising Enquiries see Page 4

mentation needed to secure the CFO’s and Board’s support for the new aircraft.

Most of all, the company’s due diligence served the shareholder’s best interests.

Dealing with Consultants

It is a relationship. Treat it as such. While consultants provide a fresh view, they still need to relate to you and be able to read your situation well enough to understand what you and your company executives are really asking.

In some ways, the consultant is your aircraft therapist—one who listens, asks questions and keeps your best interests (and that of the company) in mind. How far do you want the consultant to go in the analysis? Is it just an advisory consult or will this relationship extend all the way through contract negotiation and aircraft delivery? You decide.

The consultant needs to be able to understand www.AVBUYER.com

your world view and the reasons why your company needs an aircraft. “The aircraft costs too much” can really be asking “Are we using this valuable asset of transportation mobility to its best capability?”

A consultant’s recommendations should be objective and focused on the choices you need to make. A consultant who also sells aircraft can be very knowledgeable and a source of valuable insight, but there is at the very least the appearance of conflict of interest in the relationship.

If the consultant is also brokering a great midsize business jet and your company’s need might be met by such a jet, maintaining objectivity is paramount. Be sure the aircraft being offered is right for your firm. Trust is the key issue in a successful engagement with a consultant, whether independent or part of a brokerage.

Experience Matters

No one consultant has all the answers, but professionals in the field of Business Aviation know the questions to ask, and they have (or are able to find) the answers you need.

Your consultant must be ‘bilingual’, speaking the language of business to understand the financial concerns and asset management involved in the aircraft decision. They also need to be able to talk with the pilots and discuss operational issues like runway lengths and range.

A typical engagement comes to mind, when I was called in by the CFO to look at the company’s 62

As the chief pilot and I walked into the hangar, I could sense his reticence. In the corner of the hangar was the owner’s personal light aircraft. I commented favorably on the machine and its level of sophisticated ‘glass cockpit’ instrumentation that seemed suitable for a big jet. We talked flying for a bit, and once the pilot knew I could understand his position, we were off to a good start.

A consultant is just that—a consultant, not a decision maker. When we work with people on an analysis of their aircraft needs, acquisition or tax strategy, we give them options. Recently a client asked, “If it were your money, which aircraft would you purchase?”

I replied, “It is not my money, so you need to be happy with what you choose. All three aircraft under consideration will do the job. Take the demo flights and go from there.” If I really thought there was a clear best answer, I'd have pointed in that direction, but since it is not my money, the final call is always the client’s to make.

‘V’ Not Always for ‘Victory’ Jay Mesinger reflects on the shape of today’s market for used business jets… ecently, I was speaking to a client about the shape of the market. His company is in the energy business, which may be the reason why he often thinks of everything as a commodity where prices rapidly reflect general market conditions and rarely differ within a given product class.

“Don’t you agree,” asked the client, “that the market is shaped like a ‘V’ and we are either already on the right side of that ‘V’ and coming back up, or at least at the bottom of the ‘V’ and ready to jump back? In other words, will the price of aircraft rebound?”

First I commented that aircraft are really not commodities that have one price one day and the very next might have a different price. Supply and demand do play a huge factor, but two aircraft with

consecutive serial numbers are equal only on the day they were built. From that day forward they have different operating conditions and exposure to wear and tear. They have different standards for maintenance and are owned by very different types of owners in very different parts of the world.

Aircraft are unlike a barrel of oil that one day has a price set by the commodity brokers regardless of where in the world the oil is stored, and the very next day could have a price increase or decrease based upon conditions that have nothing to do with the oil’s composition.

creating different residual loss rates as it moves along that line.

Next, I argued that the price of today’s business aircraft does not move along a ‘V’-shaped path.

Rather, it depreciates at a fairly steady rate—today at about seven to ten percent a year, which is four to six percent greater depreciation than we expect in a stronger market. The good news, however, is that the loss rate is fairly constant and predictable, which is better than what the community experienced during the 2008 global economic downturn.

Several years ago I postulated that “flat would be the new up”—prices that did not fall were causes for celebration. I said then that if we could just get a few quarters of flat pricing rather than quarter-after-quarter of downward pricing trends, we could declare a recovery. I was less concerned about the market heading up. I just wanted the decline to stop.

Well, several years later we are seeing a return to quarter-after-quarter of downward trending, with no growth in emerging markets and a sharp decline in oil prices. Hence there is a huge supply of aircraft ‘for sale’ with respect to the demand.

With emerging markets moving from net buyers to net sellers of business aircraft, coupled with the energy-producing companies and the ancillary suppliers not traveling as much internationally due to the slowdown of infrastructure development, we have negative global pressures on our industry.

Back to the ‘V’

Go to Vref Publishing or Aircraft Bluebook digest and look at their quarterly graphs for specific make, model and year, or for the overall market pricing trends. Note that you do not see anything close to a ‘V’. The graphs labeled as Vref Large Jet Index actually track upward or are slightly flat from the years 1997 to 2001. From that point they track down significantly to 2003, change direction and track slightly upward through 2008, then track down consistently quarter-over-quarter through 2015.

The new edition for Q1 2016 will probably continue that downward tracking. There is no ‘V’!

There have only been the occasional bright spots that seemed to bottom out or track up very slightly. The CJ line of small jets is a great example.

A historical perspective, as I have addressed in this article, shows continued global economic pressure on our fleet. Almost all sales at this time are occurring in North America. Inventory supplies are rising and prices remain the key factor in selling a jet today. The issues created by the value of oil on our global economy will no doubt be long-lasting.

Even if the price of oil begins to increase, energy-producing countries as well as energyproducing companies will have long memories and will not race back into buying mode. Most importantly, there are buyers, they are in North America and they are price-driven. T

Facts on Insuring Helicopters

The Whys and Wherefores of a More Expensive Coverage Although both seem to defy gravity, rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft are completely different – as is insuring them, notes Stuart Hope... n January 2016, a tour helicopter in Hawaii carrying six passengers experienced an engine failure near Kauai’s north shore, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing on the beach. The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the airframe and tail boom, and four passengers were seriously injured.

While appearing to be a routine accident covered by insurance, this incident illustrates the difficulties that helicopter operations present for the aviation insurance underwriter when compared with their fixedwing cousins. A rather straight-forward powerplant problem resulted in an off-field landing with significant repair and medical bills.

Oh how helicopters differ… let me count the ways!

Helicopters are among the most epic flying machines ever created. Their versatility is simply unmatched. They can take-off and land from airports, rooftops, yachts, oil rigs, backyards, riverbeds, or basically anywhere there is enough room to accommodate the helicopter’s overall footprint - including rotor diameter.

These unique vehicles are used for electronic news gathering, medevac flights, sightseeing rides, slung loads, firefighting, search and rescue, hunting, tree trimming powerline right of ways, crop spraying, or… simply as executive transport.

Fixed-wing aircraft take off and climb to cruising altitude, where they remain until it is time to descend and land.

Conversely, helicopters fly low where they are exposed to the perils of hitting trees, powerlines, guide wires, towers, drones and other obstacles. Often the ingress and egress into a particular landing zone is being performed by the pilot for the first time, unlike accessing an airport that has published vertical descent and obstacle clearance information.

Underwriting Challenges

From an underwriting perspective, the helicopter is a totally different beast. Because they face unique exposures and because their accident rate per 100,000 flight hours is significantly higher than fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter premiums are 3-4 times more expensive than a similarly valued fixed-wing aircraft.

Aircraft Index see Page 145

Insurance March16.qxp_Layout 1 16/02/2016 11:37 Page 2

Deductibles are also much higher—typically 10% of the insured value of the aircraft but negotiable (up or down) depending on the use, pilots, home base, etc.

Furthermore, it is difficult to screen for the best rotary-wing pilots. A 20,000 hour fixed-wing airline captain seeking helicopter endorsement would be considered a 0-hour student pilot for helicopter transition training; little credit would be given for the applicant’s fixed-wing experience. Judgment is paramount for any pilot operating helicopters, yet the only way an underwriter discovers if a pilot has good judgment or not is after a loss.

Thus specific rotary-wing training is crucial. For example, if the aircraft is used for external load/slung cargo operations, there are additional training facilities that specialize in preparing helicopter pilots for those specific operations.

Many helicopters carry special equipment that needs to be considered when determining premium costs. A Wescam image-stabilized camera with track beam technology can add six to seven figures in insured exposure, for example. Some of these units can be moved from one helicopter to another. If the helicopter is operated over water, the value of floats (if installed) must be considered in the insurance evaluation. There are rotary-wing operators that use multiple in-line saws arranged vertically to cut powerline right-of-ways. These highly specialized saws and their supporting apparatus are very expensive to replace.

over water, what distances are involved—to oil rigs far at sea or just over small bodies of water? Will they be operated to the local country club to pick up the owner’s daughter and new husband after their wedding?

If the occasion is ad hoc, who will provide crowd control, secure the landing zone, evaluate potential obstructions such as powerlines, etc. If roof-top landing pads will be used, is the helipad FAA approved?

If the helicopter is operating at racetracks or other sporting events, proximity to crowds or people is a huge exposure and must be addressed.

Many injuries are caused because persons external to the helicopter misjudge the height or length of a revolving rotor blades (particularly if the helicopter is on a sloped surface). Many victims fail to account for the tail rotor.

Rotary-wing aircraft are much most complex with far more moving parts than the typical business jet.

An engine or part failure in a helicopter will likely necessitate an immediately autorotation if the vehicle has a single powerplant or a diversionary landing if a twin is involved. Once an emergency starts in a helicopter, it usually develops very quickly with limited time for the pilot to react.

Helicopters can be, and are operated safely and efficiently, but their operating regime presents a much larger exposure for insurance underwriters—a fact that is reflected in much higher premiums and deductibles. T

he current strength of the US dollar has created an excellent opportunity for US buyers of business aircraft, allowing them to acquire quality pre-owned, foreign-registered aircraft at attractive prices.

Importing an aircraft into the US can, however, be a complicated process with various pitfalls for the unwary. As outlined in this three-part series, with the right planning an aircraft can be properly and efficiently imported into the US.

T

Selecting the Right Inspection Facility

Inspection of a foreign business aircraft can be extensive. Many issues need to be addressed and

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

resolved to the buyer’s satisfaction. A buyer should evaluate not only the aircraft’s general condition, but also the extent of work necessary to make the aircraft comply with US operational requirements.

Thus the selection of the right inspection facility is particularly important.

The seller will likely prefer an inspection facility near the aircraft’s home base, but a buyer should insist upon an inspection facility that is qualified and experienced in both the type of aircraft involved and in FAA airworthiness requirements.

Since managing the logistics of a foreign inspection is difficult, a buyer will want technical representatives dedicated to the buyer’s interests Aircraft Index see Page 145

BOARDROOM T TAX

on the ground at the inspection facility.

It is also advantageous to find an inspection facility located in a tax-friendly location, as parties frequently elect to close transactions at the inspection facility. However, we recommend that a buyer prioritize inspection facility qualifications over location. A second chance to ‘test fly’ an aircraft on a delivery ferry flight is generally beneficial to a buyer in any event.

Evaluating Airworthiness

A key aspect of a foreign-registered aircraft inspection is evaluating the aircraft’s airworthiness, which for the US buyer means first confirming it is eligible for an FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificate. To be eligible, the aircraft must be a production aircraft (i.e., manufactured by a company with a production certificate) with an FAA type-certified design. Almost all US-manufactured aircraft and many foreign-manufactured aircraft are FAA type-certified, production aircraft.

The second, more challenging step is to determine whether the aircraft actually complies with FAA airworthiness requirements. The difficulty with which foreign aircraft clear this hurdle can vary considerably. Thus, having the aircraft evaluated by a qualified inspection facility is key.

In an attempt to streamline the import and export of aircraft, the FAA has entered into Bilateral Airworthiness Agreements (BAA) and Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreements (BASA) with certain countries whose airworthiness standards are considered equivalent to the FAA’s.

While a current airworthiness certificate from a BAA or BASA country does not automatically equate to an FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificate, it does indicate that the aircraft should not require much additional work to comply.

A buyer should factor the potential cost of bringing a foreign-registered aircraft into compliance into the overall price of the acquisition and may want to ask the seller to accept responsibility for some (or even all) of such costs. A common strategy is to include a requirement in the Purchase Agreement that the seller pay for all costs to obtain an Export Certificate of Airworthiness from the exporting country.

Depending on the aircraft, such Export Certificate of Airworthiness may be required for import of the aircraft into the US. In any event, an Export Certificate of Airworthiness will both accelerate the FAA airworthiness certification process and effectively pass some of the cost on to the seller (as any issues identified in the Export Certificate of Airworthiness inspections will be the seller’s responsibility to resolve).

Finally, it is often cost- and time-effective to have a buyer-selected US Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) begin the aircraft and records inspection concurrently with the buyer’s pre-buy inspection (more on this matter in Part 2).

72

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

Title Considerations

Receiving clear title is essential to virtually every aircraft buyer. While confirming the title status of a US-registered aircraft is typically straightforward, confirming a foreign aircraft’s title can be more complicated. Broadly speaking, we recommend that a buyer of a foreign aircraft: i)

Ask its US escrow agent to confirm clear title on the FAA Registry if the aircraft was ever USregistered; ii) Confirm clear title on the International Registry of Mobile Assets; and (perhaps most importantly) iii) Confirm clear title on applicable foreign registries.

More specifically, each country has its own system for recording aircraft title and liens; for instance, a registry may record title in the name of the aircraft owner or operator, and a country’s protocol may require that liens be filed with the aviation authority, on a separate personal property securities register, or with another governmental body. The most efficient and reliable way to confirm clear title on a foreign registry is often to hire foreign counsel to provide a title opinion.

Once a US buyer has selected and evaluated a foreign aircraft, the buyer must plan for the closing, importation, and post-closing operations. Parts 2 and 3 of this series will detail key closing and postclosing considerations and will, hopefully, help make your US importation straightforward and successful. T

Special Traits for Special Missions

According to a report by Flight Global, the worldwide fleet of helicopters totals fewer than 35,000 with about 60% (24,000) being turbine powered. The largest share of that global fleet – approximately 35% - is based in North America.

While their potential for going to where they're needed – regardless of the presence of an airfield – serves operators well in most missions, it's the rapid shuttling of people between urban offices and remote airports that dominates much of the executive-use helicopter missions. Estimates vary, but fewer than one-third of the turbine helicopter fleet in North America operate as executive transports.

According to information from the Helicopter Association International, the biggest barrier to more expansive use of rotorcraft is the difficulty in establishing heliports where they could be most useful. But heliports are established, nonetheless – most often in places where they're considered the least disruptive.

For those businesses that find value in using helicopters – or adding one or more to their fleets – the decision hangs on mission definition and fulfillment. And that's no different than for fixedwing aircraft. If helicopters bring to the equation such unique capabilities, they also bring with them narrower performance parameters than what most people think of when you mention “business aircraft”.

Dave Higdon has covered all aspects of civil aviation over the past 35 years. Based in Wichita, he’s a renowned journalist, and an active instrument-rated pilot with more than 5,000 flight hours in everything from foot-launched wings to combat jets.

The ‘go-anywhere’ ability pays smaller dividends for many because of the paucity of heliports available to the public. Similarly, a helicopter’s relatively limited speed and range makes it no threat to fixed-wing aircraft for much business travel.

Speed and range limitations aside, businesses most often embrace the helicopter for their capability to move executives to remote locales without the need for thousands of feet of pavement. Whether employed as an executive shuttle between urban heliports and Business Aviation airports or as a fast way to a remote construction site, the executive helicopter can deliver most of the trappings of a high-flying executive jet… at least, within those wellrecognized differences in capabilities.

Look over the list of heliports in the US and one thing quickly becomes apparent: Medical institutions host most designated heliports in the US. HEMS – Helicopter Emergency Medical Services – began expanding in the US in the 1970s and 1980s, in part because of lessons learned during the US involvement in Vietnam.

Just as traumatic-injury protocols were improved by the methods developed to treat combat casualties, so was medical-emergency transportation changed by the experiences of military pilots flying wounded soldiers during the Korean conflict of the early 1950s and, even more so, by the experiences and lessons of treating the tens of thousands of casualties incurred between the mid-1960s and the end of US involvement in Vietnam in 1975.

First off, it's important to understand what even the best helicopters won't bring to a company: Global reach (at least, not non-stop); or high speed (at least, speeds faster than a Formula One, IndyCar or NASCAR racer can muster); or the full-blown aerial-office-suite experience…

Whether powered by a 100-octane-burning piston powerplant or a Jet A-consuming turboshaft engine – a gas-turbine engine designed to output power through a shaft as opposed to the thrust of a turbojet – helicopters typically fulfill travel needs substantially shorter than those of the average business jet.

For travel between 100-250 miles, the 160-180 knot nominal cruise for the fastest helicopters puts these flights in the 40-90 minute time span.

Helicopters may fly as low as 1,000 feet for the shorter flights but cruise in the 2,500-5,000ft regions for longer flights.

The majority of helicopters employed in executive operations offer interiors comparable to a luxury sedan with seating typically for five to seven (a few larger helicopters carry more). Crew requirements typically are single-pilot, and IFR operations in helicopters are less common than in fixed-wing aircraft.

Helicopters can provide operational flexibilities unavailable to even aircraft with the shortest runway requirements. Where a loaded singleengine propjet may be capable to use a 1,500-foot runway, a piston or turbine helicopter only needs a patch as large as its rotor diameter. No wonder helicopters are attractive to businesspeople where they can launch and land using a variety of heliports, the smallest outlying airports, or locales with no permanent, designated landing facilities. www.AVBUYER.com

of this edition for more helicopter insurance details). Maintenance costs usually run higher too.

Ultimately the wider picture must be assessed when it comes to cost considerations.

Capabilities: Shorter range than the fixed-wing propjets, but greater utility with greater flexibility and choice in operating locations.

The Consensus?

Beyond Mere Performance Specs

Imagine that your company needs a helicopter to round out its travel requirements. What are some of the key factors that go into preparing for that acquisition?

Crew: The note holder and/or insurer may insist on a high-time helicopter pilot – at least initially – and two-crew operations, in the beginning. Singlepilot is the most-common crew solution. Many rated helicopter pilots also fly fixed-wing aircraft.

Finding someone experienced in the helicopter make and model of your choice would be ideal, but it's possible to add a helicopter rating with an existing crew member if your Flight Department can afford the cost and time required.

Costs: Helicopters range in price from under $400,000 (piston) to several million dollars (turbine). The lowest-cost turbine model sells for about $700,000 – a fraction of the cost of the leastexpensive propjet single.

However, fuel costs tend to be higher per seat, as will insurance (see Stuart Hope’s article on p68

Speaking with helicopter pilots and owners, opinions differ regarding what constitutes the best argument for using a helicopter in Business Aviation operations. But a clear picture of how the different firms take advantage of a helicopter’s capabilities did emerge.

For example, one cattle broker uses his helicopter to conduct on-site, unannounced visits to his feedlots and suppliers; to manage his time so he can appear at far-flung cattle auctions; and, on occasion, to help round up cattle in the spring.

“It's a little like what sheepherders do with their dogs,” he illustrates. “And it’s a lot easier on me than doing the same thing on horseback.

“In the helicopter, I can climb to just 250 feet and scout miles of prairie – and then make it home 150 miles away in just under an hour. Driving home would require three hours.”

A regional real-estate broker, meanwhile, uses a company-owned helicopter to hop between meetings in cities 100, 200, sometimes 300 miles away. “The helicopter lets me scout properties, check on developments underway, and meet with clients, other sellers and prospective buyers in one day,” he explained. Before he bought the helicopter, this broker needed two, sometimes three days to cover the same ground. “When we're working with a prospective buyer of a ranch or large acreage, it helps me show off the property.

“Now we tour it by air first, then land and let the prospects walk the property before showing it again from up there.”

Several other business owners and executives lauded their helicopter for giving them the ability to work later in the office than they could if taking a limo or cab to the airport.

“A trip to the JFK helipad from the west side of Manhattan takes one quarter the time it takes in a cab or by limo,” summarized a former executive who worked near Union Square in west Manhattan.

“A short ride - sometimes a walk - to the West 30th Heliport (Air Pegasus), and fly right around the south end of the island to Kennedy. It doesn't get easier than that,” he concluded.

Moving to the aircraft this month, we will see how on-board connectivity is associated with a multitude of external resources, many with minimal pilot intervention. In fact, while the pilot(s) concentrate on flight plan execution, a whole other spectrum of activity may be unfolding between cabin and cockpit systems and the world outside.

of the cockpit door. Meanwhile the pilot(s) can run a real-time travel management and operations business up front, with an aviation department flight attendant also playing an important role.

On the aircraft itself, there are systems that can ‘see’ and select from the broader information traversing the ocean of airspace. These same systems as well as others provide the means of communication to the crew, passengers and directly to aircraft avionics. Some communication components, often as single ‘boxes’, focus on conversion, and others simply display the information provided to them. Part 2 of ‘Connecting on Board’ will concentrate on conversion and  display of information within aircraft.

“An aircraft may have a significant number of antennas, each looking for and radiating at a specific atmosphericpenetrating frequency.”

In order to see external information, an aircraft uses antennas tuned to seek out minute signal levels of information carrying waves radiated at different frequencies. These carrier frequencies carry information modulated as voice, data and video. For efficiency, the modulation signals are sometimes compressed and scrambled.

An aircraft may have a significant number of antennas, each looking for and radiating at a specific atmospheric-penetrating frequency. Those that need to communicate with satellites look for, lock on and then track the satellites’ movement, executing exotic hand-offs as the earth rotates below the satellites’ stationary or orbital flight paths. Satellites often perform multiple tasks, one of which may be acting as a transponder. In this manner the satellite receives ground-sourced information, boosts it and then resends amplified signals to aircraft satellite antennas.

Cables within the aircraft route the carrier signal to and from transceivers that access and process the audio, data or video information being transported by its carrier.

Typically airborne systems have a control, processor and an output. The control may be automatic or via human interface. The processor, in essence, is directed to perform its specific function.

Then selected and processed information is provided as an output in digital (data), audio or video form.

Onboard Information Seeking/ Providing External Information

Weather: For an aircraft, weather is derived several different ways. Instruments using atmospheric probes detect the atmospheric conditions. A weather radar, mounted in the nose, provides 80

real-time precipitation and (by analogy) turbulence, albeit with limited range and field.

Satellites, via Satcom, provide detailed nearterm weather, and ADS-B In provides the same.

Sirius/XM, using a dedicated antenna, may also be providing weather. Even stand-alone lightning sensors are installed in some aircraft. Traditionally, and still available, is weather information at airports and elsewhere, provided via VHF and HF. Satcom, FANS & Data: Primarily focused on oceanic operations, where satellites boost and relay service-provider information, aircraft Satcom serves as the transceiving device for communications and digital data to and from the aircraft.

Future Air Navigation System (FANS) uses the Satcom and includes aircraft surveillance via ADSC. High rates of bi-directional digital data may be transferred between aircraft and the orbiting or geostationary satellites. Passenger and some crew voice communication is also routed through the Satcom.

Companies such as FLYHT Aerospace Solutions, Ltd. offer streaming data capability using their stand-alone onboard AFIRS and ACARS-overIridium service. These onboard processors also connect to portable devices used by the flight crew. However, data can be shared via the internet to corporate VPNs. Examples of aircraft and fleet performance data are Health & Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) and Engine Trend Monitoring (ETM).

Streams of real-time aircraft diagnostic and performance data can be sent via the same Satcom used for voice. In fact, we live in the age of the Internet of Things (IoT), where for example, an Aircraft Index see Page 145

Connectivity March16.qxp_Finance 16/02/2016 09:56 Page 3

Figure 2: How the aircraft interacts with external technologies

aircraft on an average flight can now produce performance data measured in Terabytes, (e.g., the new Bombardier C-Series). Transferring all these data, in real time, to the ground becomes ever more an issue of bandwidth, where all the technology involved must have the capacity to handle the volume of information.

Below is additional guidance with respect to Satcom’s satellites, and the frequency of the carrier waves used: • L-Band uses frequencies between 1 to 2GHz. L-Band provides narrower bandwidth and is used to meet light business jet requirements.

• Ku-Band utilizes approximately 12-18GHz range. The legacy Ku-Band is still widely used and has a medium bandwidth adequate for most applications where data capacity requirements are not so critical.

• Ka-Band services operate between 26.540GHz. Ka-Band is being used by newer satellites and has very high data capacity and transfer rates, due to greater bandwidth.

VHF & HF Communications/Data: Traditionally and yet still in use, lower frequency transmission activity takes place over land and sea using VHF and HF. Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) is one current use of data over VHF. For HF this is known as High Frequency Data Link (HFDL).

Popular for flight clearances, these legacy technologies will be around for some time to come.

Broadband: Speaking of bandwidth and the need to connect via the internet, OEMs and operators are equipping their aircraft more and more with dedicated systems that link to broadband services.

Viasat, with its high capacity satellites, is just one of the broadband providers. Its use of both Ka- and Ku-Band satellites, along with its aircraft equipment and service plan, provides flexibility and single source accountability for operators.

With broadband capability, operators can easily conduct high-definition video conferences, stream music and video, connect live to their corporate VPNs and do much more while airborne.

Emergency & Tracking: This is an information area that is truly booming, especially with air carriers and for aircraft operating in remote regions. Emergency equipment has been around for many years, but new to the market is equipment that tracks, monitors and frequently relays the aircraft flight status, for real-time use by a variety of interested parties.

Many traditional service providers, including wellknown names, have added dedicated flight tracking service to their portfolios. Some examples of companies that specialize in flight tracking are; Spidertracks, Skytrac, Flightaware and Blue Sky Network.

ADS-B Out/In & Transponders: Leaping to the present, bi-directional and automated aircraft flight surveillance data flow between different aircraft and air traffic control facilities. The ADS-B technology includes the use of updated Transponders, Flight Management Systems (FMS) and other onboard equipment to facilitate this capability.

Weather, for display and useful en route flight information, is further provided when aircraft are ADS-B In equipped. For those with Satcom, ADS-C provides for similar ADS-B Out capability in Oceanic regions.

Figure 3: Summary of the typical ‘externally-focused’ information systems found onboard today’s business jet

“Advancements such as highdefinition video and low-noise digital audio are only limited by the capacity of both external and internal systems to handle bandwidth requirements.”

82

Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs), located in the rear of the aircraft and near the tail, are activated by excessive G forces, or may be switched to transmit, manually. Operating at 121.50, 234.00 and 406.00 MHz, they provide aircraft location and identification. 406 MHz ELTs can also provide the aircraft location via internal GPS.

Onboard Information Systems Primarily For Aircraft/Crew

Video & Audio: Once demodulated from the antenna signal by the system processor, video and audio can be distributed across both the cockpit and cabin. Advancements, such as high-definition video and low-noise digital audio, are only limited by the capacity of both external and internal systems to handle bandwidth requirements.

As more automated data information is visually displayed to flight crews, there is less reliance on audio.

Voice & Data Recording: Currently on many business aircraft a history of each flight is being recorded. Today voice and data are combined in single recorders. Flight Data Acquisition Units (FDAUs) collect thousands of data parameters representing the aircraft’s in-flight performance and interfacing those quantities of information to the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), as well as Quick Access Recorders (QARs).

QARs speedily access raw flight data and downlink them, via Satcom, to flight departments and operations centers. Sampling and refresh rates of QARs are different than FDRs because, although they are systems using similar technology, they perform different functions.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR), designed or upgraded for FANS, need to be data capable to enable the recording of data link and digital messages in flight.

Because these CVRs and FDRs (or CFDRs) are designed for survivability, they include emergency location transmitters. While not operating during flight, beacons on recorders are very much communicating devices when the situation dictates. Deployable DFDRs, equipped with GPS and activated upon deployment, may be located more quickly; even if they cannot be immediately recovered, they will transmit recent flight data, recorded prior to activation.

Wi-Fi: Often Wi-Fi is a subset of a broader Satcom system working with either Inmarsat or Iridium satellites and associated on-board equipment. So either as a subset or a stand-alone system capability, the processor output for Wi-Fi will go to a routing system for the aircraft.

When the aircraft is on the ground, routers may also connect directly to cellular systems, enabling even ground maintenance operations that require connectivity. Routers provide a method for passengers and crews to connect via Wi-Fi and Ethernet for laptops, smartphones, personal electronic devices and electronic flight bags.

Live Communications & Data: As opposed to recording of voice and data, existing radios, ACARS, VHF data link (VDL) or HFDL and the use of Satcom are employed primarily for live communication and transfer of information data.

Several independent systems, each with their own antennas, fulfill this role. Communication and flight management devices are often on dual Aircraft Index see Page 145

This is in line with a more automated and direct data (or digitized voice) approach to communications. Of course, as unmanned aircraft migrate into the NAS, communication will become digital and automated, machine to machine.

databases and the use of many mobile applications—all being additional and useful tools in the technician’s tool kit.

Systems on board may be connected via modems, USBs or dedicated ports, to portable devices. iPads, Androids and Laptops are used in most flight departments and hangar operations today, reducing downtime, cost and misdiagnosed faults.

Crew Information: For crews, there is the need to provide information in a number of different ways.

The most immediate form is alerting and advisory information, provided both aurally and visually.

Important notifications can originate from outside the aircraft. An example of this will be weather and flight information alerts for the flight plan in use.

Crews need to know the status of their systems and be able to react to any abnormal conditions.

Cabin crews and passengers need to connect to the cockpit and visa-versa. The flight crew are able to control to some degree what is shared within the cabin.

Flight departments and others may communicate directly with the crew via messages and voice, while service providers continuously update the trip planning and arrival services.

Flight crews are reliably connected to other aircraft and the ground via today’s cockpit technology. Clearances, passenger plan changes, route amendments, and so much more can be accommodated in the modern connected cockpit.

Across the preceding paragraphs, we have outlined the layer of ‘information-platforms’ communicating in and out of the aircraft. Between the information that satellite and ground networks transfer and what is managed for operators by service providers, it is clear there is an ever expanding amount of data going back and forth.

The next article in this series will drill down even further within the aircraft to address onboard services. It will focus on how information is transferred, converted and displayed within both the cabin and the cockpit.

There are different protocols and specialists in this area. Above all there is a lot to consider, because free enterprise and competition have provided us with many choices and, therefore, the potential for many issues.

While a good thing, the expansion of choices opens up opportunities for different technology integrations, each with a unique path and a potential risk of incompatibility.

Equally, aircraft OEMs increasingly favor single avionic suites and branded cabin management systems, presumably safe from these integration risks, secured by their proprietary software networks. As you may discover your aircraft may be designed and outfitted either way. T Aircraft Index see Page 145

Creating a Flight Department (Part 10)

Presenting a Compelling Plan & Asking for the Order Fred Haap and Jack Olcott conclude their 10-part series on Flight Department creation by summarizing the elements addressed in a Flight Department Business Plan. reating a Flight Department requires approval by a firm’s top management or owner. The key to securing approval is presenting a convincing business plan that addresses the issues and concerns management might have regarding operation of a company aircraft and also embraces the advantage of Business Aviation.

Most company executives and entrepreneurs, even those seriously considering the acquisition of a business aircraft and the formation of a flight department, have limited knowledge of Business Aviation. Perhaps they have flown on a customer’s aircraft, or they serve on the Board of firms that operate a business aircraft. But their detailed understanding often is minimal and their concern is huge, and what they think they know often is negative.

They know, for example, that an aircraft represents a significant capital commitment and if operated improperly the safety and security of the firm’s top people could be at risk. Directors and executives asked to approve the creation of a Flight Department also assume that they will be criticized by shareholders if the acquired aircraft is poorly managed. A prime objective of the business plan, therefore, is reducing management’s anxiety about aircraft acquisition and operation.

A secondary objective is providing a reference point for promoting the creation of a Flight

Department. A new business unit nee ds a champion.

Presumably the senior officer seeking approval for the department will be that champion, advocating the value of Business Aviation, socializing the concept among key decision makers within the company and lobbying for implementation.

Executives in favor of obtaining a business aircraft require a solid plan to understand and eventually support creation of a Flight Department.

Over the past ni ne months, we’ve addressed key elements of the Flight Department Business Plan (FDBP). In this summary, we fold the essence of each article into the outline of a complete plan to be presented to top management.

Cover and Contents

The FDBP is a formal document with a Title Page, identification of the plan’s author and a Table of Contents that lists each subject addressed in the presentation. Hard copies should be available for all executives who will participate in the go/no-go decision, and a digital version of the Plan is recommended.

Executive Summary

While it’s tempting to write the Executive Summary first, it should be generated only after all elements of the FDBP have been prepared. As the name implies, the Executive Summary captures the essence of why the company needs a business aircraft and distills Aircraft Index see Page 145

Maintenance Jan16.qxp_Finance 16/02/2016 16:33 Page 2

how it will be managed to assure safe and efficient operations.

This element of the Plan is concise—no more than half a page, if possible—and leaves the specifics of implementation to subsequent elements contained in the body of the Plan. This is the place to emphasize that Business Aviation will support the overall objectives of the company and should be included as a business unit within the firm’s organizational structure.

General Description of the Flight Department

This element of the Business Plan presents the Flight Department’s Vision Statement—namely the benefit that Business Aviation will bring to the company when the department is fully functional—as well as the department’s Mission Statement, which is more focused and less conceptual than the overarching Statement of Vision but is highly useful in guiding day-by-day operations.

Governing Principles (also known as ‘Values’) are presented in this section. These three concepts—Vision, Mission and Governing Principles—shape how Business Aviation will serve the company and its shareholders.

Applying Vision, Mission and Governing Principles as the guide, the Department’s structure and its place within the corporation’s overall organization is presented within the General Description section. The proposed aircraft is identified (if not by specific make and model, at least by category such as light jet), its primary base of operations is specified, and the Flight Department’s personnel complement and organization are shown in sufficient detail to leave no doubt regarding the unit’s size and position within the corporation.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Departmental specifics a re used subsequently in the Business Plan to budget funds for creating and implementing the Flight Department. This section describes how the business aircraft will be scheduled, including the identification of users who can be transported (preferably by job classification), who can request trips, and who has the authority to approve or deny such requests.

Procedures for booking trips (i.e., how users c ommunicate with the Flight Department) as well as resolving scheduling conflicts are presented. The mechanics of scheduling are described in detail, stating clearly how the company aircraft will be booked for flights.

Department Deliverables

In the words of the late business guru Peter Drucker, “What’s measured improves”. From the onset, a Flight Department needs a means for measuring its output, which basically is transportation that benefits the corporation. The Flight Department Business Plan describes a system for measuring what the Flight Department produces and assigns a value to that product.

For example, in addition to tracking classic measures such a passenger miles traveled, the value related to what is accomplished as a result of travel on the company aircraft is documented. When a series of c ustomer visits results in a contract being awarded, the value of that contact is a measure of value for the Flight Department’s deliverable.

Similarly, the Flight Department delivers value when it transports the firm’s service specialists to a customer’s factory to address an emergency breakdown. Placing the right person or team at the right spot and at the right time has great value.

Performance measure s of such value should be established, 

recorded for each flight, reviewed by the Flight Department Manager and included in ad hoc or annual reviews of the department.

Each company will have its own rules for tracking the productivity of aircraft activity, and those rules should be included in the Flight Department Business Plan. Although somewhat controversial, establishing measures of value and efficiency (such as David Wyndham presented in his October 2015 AvBuyer article ‘MOVE Documentation’ p64) demonstrate insightful management.

Operational Plan and Adherence to Industry Standards

The purpose of the Flight Department Business Plan is to convince top management that a Flight Department should be formed, and that once created it will be well managed. Management should understand that an Operations Manual specifying day-to-day flight and maintenance procedures will be prepared and will be followed by department personnel. Details of how the company aircraft will be operated are not necessary or appropriate for the FDBP. It is sufficient to state that the department’s Ops Manual will be written and in use prior to an aircraft being placed in service, and that procedures presented in the Ops Manual will adhere to the regulations of the aviation authority where the aircraft is registered.

Furthermore, industry best practices—such as those specified in International Standards—Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO)— will be incorporated in the department’s Ops Manual and will be followed without fail. The business plan should state, however, how the Ops Manual will be generated—either by the Aviation Manager/Chief Pilot or by engaging specialists in generating Ops Manuals.

Safety & Security

Top management expects—indeed demands—that operation of the company aircraft will be safe and secure. The department’s Ops Manual addresses those concerns with detailed prescriptions of how flight and maintenance procedures will be handled.

Nevertheless, it is wise to reference the role that safety and security of a company’s most valuable assets—its employees—play in the Flight Department’s daily operations.

Whether expressed or simply lingering in the background, the topic of safety and security is an ever-present issue on the mind of executives who are asked to approve creation of a Flight Department. Leave no doubt that the wellbeing of passengers will always be priority number one.

Management Plan

Describe how the Flight Department will be integrated into the overall management structure of the company in a manner similar to other business units. This section of the Flight Department 88

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

Business Plan describes the reporting structure of the Aviation Manager to his or her direct supervisor, be that person the CEO, CFO, head of corporate transportation or other responsible party within the company’s hierarchy.

Human Resources and Personnel protocols that apply to other employees must be applicable to Flight Department staff, even though they work away from the firm’s headquarters or major facilities.

Financial Plan

While providing great value, Business Aviation requires a significant investment. The Flight Department Business Plan must identify acquisition and operational costs, and outline a system for departmental cost accounting that is consistent with the company’s system of financial management.

For example, because the useful life of a business aircraft usually is longer than the limited time allowed to depreciate that type of capital asset, care must be taken to convey how the unique aspects of aircraft finance fit within the firm’s overall systems for valuing its assets. Hence the importance of having a system for measuring the benefits that accrue from using a business aircraft, such as covered in the section above dealing with Department Deliverables. It is wise to consult with specialists in the CFO’s office when preparing the financial aspects of the business plan.

Launch Plan

A well-presented Flight Department Business Plan expresses the benefits that will accrue to the company by acquiring a business aircraft. Be positive. Assume that top management will say yes.

Convey that when they do give the go-ahead, the personnel tasked with implementing the Plan are ready and fully able to proceed.

Describe how an aircraft would be acquired and placed into service. Show that the newly formed Flight Department has a clear path to follow once top management makes the decision to proceed.

Appendix & Supporting Documentation

Even the best business plan will be challenged—such is the nature of launching something new within a company. Thus statements of fact should be supported by credible references.

Final Thought

A well-crafted Business Plan for the Flight Department addresses each element of the operation and leaves nothing to chance — a concept that is well understood by the experienced aviator.

Reasons to Customize Your Operations Manual

Practical Steps to Reduce the Likelihood of Human Error under Pressure…

Drawing from the report from a fatal 2008 accident of a Citation 500, Mario Pierobon highlights the essential value of Flight Departments customizing their Ops Manuals.

T

he case study highlighted in last month’s column referenced the March 30, 2008 crash of a Bermuda-registered Cessna Citation 500 at London Biggin Hill airport. Having departed Biggin Hill, the aircraft was forced to return due to reported engine vibration. The situation escalated before the jet crashed into the side of a nearby house, killing all occupants on board.

We highlighted the findings of the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) that identified 90

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

a series of contributory factors, but no probable causes were given owing to an absence of FDR/CVR in the cockpit. This month we will look specifically at one of the accident’s contributory factors.

AAIB’s accident report noted that a relight attempt on the second engine “was probably started before the relit first engine had reached idle speed, resulting in insufficient time for enough thrust to be developed to arrest the aircraft’s rate of descent before ground impact”.

Mario Pierobon is a safety management consultant and content producer. He currently is working on a research project investigating aircraft ground handling safety. Contact him via marioprbn@gmail.com

“One of the main responsibilities of flight department In essence, the analysis related to the engine relight procedure highlights that an assisted relight of one engine may have been successful in the time available, but a near simultaneous double engine relight was less likely. The report notes that the aircraft manufacturer’s ‘Emergency Restart – Two Engines’ checklist states: ‘If No Start in Ten Seconds: Either Start Button – Press Momentarily’.

“Had the pilots been using the manufacturer’s checklist it is possible that they misinterpreted the requirement to only start one engine at a time or did not realise the significance of the need to do so,” says the accident report. “A sense of urgency due to the proximity of the ground or confusion over the problems they were dealing with might equally have led to a deliberate attempt to start the second engine before the first engine had reached idle speed.

“The effect of doing this would have been to delay the start of both engines. It is probable that, although both engines were operating at impact, they were in the process of accelerating to their demanded output and unable to provide sufficient thrust for the aircraft to climb away.”

Check the Checklist…

management is

Emphasis in the checklist on completing the restart on one engine before commencing the start of the second may have assisted the pilots in the case of this accident, according to the report. Operational documentation (including checklists) play a very significant role in aligning as closely as possible the behaviour of pilots to a safe standard of practice.

Some items of documentation, such as aircraftspecific checklists, are supplied directly by aircraft OEMs and are developed taking into account the technical systems for operation and principles of man-machine interaction.

A flight department, however, must not only use documents that come fully-customized and approved for the aircraft, but also must understand how such information will be applied in practice— especially when crews are faced with an emergency.

One of the main responsibilities of flight department management is to thoroughly document the operation so that line operators receive clear guidance as to the expected operational standards. www.AVBUYER.com

“The requirement for documentation to be easily understood and developed in accordance with human factors principles often is overlooked, however.”

Ops Manual

This concept holds increasingly true even for noncommercial operators. One of the requirements of new EASA regulations for non-commercial operators of complex aircraft (deadline for implementation, August 2016) concerns the need for an Ops Manual, albeit a simplified one compared to the manual that an AOC holder must have.

According to regulations, the content of the Ops Manual must be presented in a way that can be used without difficulty with due consideration of human factors principles. The requirement for documentation to be easily understood and developed in accordance with human factors principles often is overlooked, however.

Frequently, Ops Manuals are developed so as to barely repeat the content of the applicable regulations, yet there’s a significant difference between regulatory requirements and operational procedures (the actual ‘items’ of Ops Manuals).

Specifically, a regulatory requirement contains little more than a safety objective that must be met; an

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

effective Ops Manual presents procedures to be followed in practice that will achieve the safety objective. The manual must state the task to be accomplished, by whom, with the support of which tools, and when.

While there’s a significant degree of commonality among different operators for procedures that are aircraft (type) specific, typespecific procedures do not require customization from the flight department. (Indeed, Part B of an Operations Manual includes the aircraft flight manual and all its checklists). The more general procedures are documented in Part A of the Ops Manual; these are the ones that require customization from a specific Flight Department.

Even checklists that are thorough – such as the one used aboard the ill-fated Cessna Citation 500 – are not fail-proof. Clearly, not properly customizing an Ops Manual increases risk and needs to be considered. T Are you looking for more articles on Safety?

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T RETAIL PRICE GUIDE

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

Where performance and value are dominant factors for a mission need, remember this: there’s nothing lightweight about the value and flexibility of the Small & Entry-Level Jets.

A

s business jets increase in size from Entry-Level & Small jets to the low end of the Large Cabin models, six to eight seats generally remains the standard configuration across size-category lines. And while cabins increase in volume generally (enabling more productive workspace for those traveling longer distances), full-fuel payload doesn’t seem to grow proportionally in most cases.

As jets get bigger and heavier their runway needs increase, with no appreciable gain in how many people or equipment can fly – and thus we touch upon the key advantages of the Entry-Level & Small jet category - the value and flexibility offered to those who typically fly shorter legs.

Fully-fuelled, an Entry-Level or Small jet can often barely carry the typical passenger load of three persons, unless one or two of them doubles as a crew member. Nevertheless, with the average mission length below 750 miles and the nominal maximum-range of Small jets around 1,200 miles, the crew enjoys the option of flying lighter and saving fuel. Fueling for the mission with NBAA reserves allows larger cabin loads, making three or four - plus crew - possible.

The time difference between Entry-Level & Small jets and Large jets to fly a typical 75 0nm mission is small (about 10 to 12 minutes, overall) and is not a large time-saving for costs that may be considerably higher for the larger aircraft. Further, beyond these speed-range-payload operational basics, the Small jet crew will have the option of far more airports, often closer, more convenient and less expensive than what’s needed for the Medium and Large jets. Thus, it’s hard to escape the hea vyweight value of the Entry-Level & Small jet.

So what exactly is a Small jet? Today we consider a jet “small” when its MTOW falls between 10,000 and 20,000 pounds. About a decade ago the Small 94

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

segment represented the bottom rung of the business jet ladder. That was before the Entry-Level Jets entered the market, differentiated by weights below almost everything ever built at less than 10,000 pounds.

Description of Cost Elements The following describes the content of each cost element used in The Aircraft Cost Evaluator. There are no sales taxes included in these costs.

VARIABLE COST PER HOUR Includes fuel, maintenance reserves for routine maintenance, engine/ propeller/APU reserves, and miscellaneous expenses.

Specifications - General CABIN DIMENSIONS Cabin Height, Width, and Length are based on a completed interior.

On “cabin-class” aircraft, the length is measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead (or aft cabin bulkhead if unpressurized). For small cabin aircraft, the distance is from the cockpit firewall to the aft bulkhead.

Height and width are the maximum within that

98

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

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.

ver the following paragraphs, we’ll consider productivity parameters (payload/range, speed and cabin size) and cover current and future market values for the Bombardier Challenger 605. The field in this comparative study includes Dassault’s Falcon 2000LX business jet.

Brief History

Bombardier introduced its Challenger 604 in 1996 as a major upgrade on the Challenger 601 design, incorporating more powerful engines, larger fuel supply, a completely new undercarriage, structural improvements to its wings and tail, and a new electronic flight instrumentation system.

Ten years later the Challenger 605 was introduced with an avionics and structural upgrade over the Challenger 604. The structural improvements included larger cabin windows, while cockpit instrumentation was

Chart B - Range Comparison Bombardier Challenger 605 Dassault Falcon 2000LX

There are 279 wholly-owned Challenger 605 aircraft in operation globally. In addition there are three CL605s in shared-ownership and three in fractional-ownership (aggregated total 285 units). Within the operational fleet, 33 (11.8%) are leased, according to JETNET. By continent, North America has the largest fleet percentage (53%), followed by Asia (22%) and Europe (20%) accounting for a combined total of 95% of the world’s fleet.

The data contained in Table B (top, right) are published by Conklin & de Decker, but also sourced from the May 2015 issue of B/CA. As we have mentioned in past articles, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The CL605 ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 1,298 lbs is less than the Falcon 2000LX at 1,590 lbs of payload capability.

In addition, fuel usage by each aircraft is depicted. The Challenger 605 burns more, at 310 gallons per hour (GPH). The Falcon 2000LX by comparison is the more frugal (252 GPH), according to data sourced from Aircraft Cost Calculator.

Cabin Cross Sections

3662.100 Nm 3721.580 Nm

According to Conklin & de Decker, the CL605 cabin volume is 1,146 cubic feet (length, 28.4 ft.). The Falcon 2000LX is smaller in cabin volume (1,028 cu. ft.) but greater in length at 31.2 ft. Chart A, middle left (courtesy of UPCAST JETBOOK) offers a cross-section comparison, and reveals the CL605 has a wider cabin, while the Falcon 2000LX offers a slightly taller cabin.

Range Comparison

As depicted by Chart B (left) and using Witchita, Kansas as the origin point, the CL605 shows almost identical range coverage compared to the Falcon 2000LX, per Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) data. Both Aircraft easily cover all of North America non-stop.

Powerplant Details

Falcon 2000LX

The CL605 is powered by two General Electric CF34-3B engines with a thrust rating of 8,929 lbst.

The Falcon 2000LX business jet is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines each offering less thrust (7,000 lbst).

Cost Per Mile

Using data published in the May 2015 B&CA Planning and Purchasing Handbook and the August 2015 B&CA Operations Planning Guide, we will compare our aircraft. The nationwide average Jet A fuel cost used from the August 2015 edition was $5.25 per gallon at press time, so for the sake of comparison we’ll chart the numbers as published.

Note: Fuel price used from this source does not represent an average price for the year.

Chart C (top, right) details ‘Cost per Mile’ and compares the CL605 to its competition, factoring direct costs and with each aircraft flying a 1,000nm mission with a 1,600 lbs (eight passengers) payload. The CL605 shows the highest cost per nautical mile at $6.28 compared to $5.56 for the Falcon 2000LX. This is a difference of 72 cents per nautical mile.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

Guide for a 2012 production model of each aircraft. The average speed, cabin volume and maximum payload values are from Conklin & de Decker and Aircraft Cost Calculator, while the number of aircraft in-operation and percentage ‘For Sale’ are as reported by JETNET. The CL605 has 7% of its fleet currently ‘For Sale’ and the Falcon 2000LX has 10.7% ‘For Sale’. Additionally, the average number of pre-owned transactions (sold) per month is higher at 5 per month for the CL605 than the Falcon 2000LX (2 per month).

www.AVBUYER.com

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 D, top, 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 taxpayers must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated, and if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that should be utilized.

For example, aircraft used in charter service (i.e. Part 135) are normally depreciated under MACRS over a seven year recovery period or under ADS using a twelve year recovery period.

Aircraft used for qualified business purposes, such as Part 91 business use flights, are generally depreciated under MACRS over a period of five years or by using ADS with a six year recovAircraft Index see Page 145

Asking Prices vs Age, Airframe Total Time & Quantity

Chart E, sourced from the Multidimensional Economic Evaluators Inc. (www.meevaluators.com), shows a Value and Demand chart for the pre-owned CL605. The current pre-owned market for the CL605 aircraft shows a total of 24 aircraft ‘For Sale’ with nine displaying an asking price, thus we have plotted them.

We also added the used Falcon 2000LX and CL604 business jets in our study group with asking prices ranging from $5-24m. The equation that we derived from these asking prices and other criteria used should enable sellers and buyers to compare, and perhaps adjust their offerings, if necessary.

While each serial number is unique, the airframe total hours (AFTT) and age/condition will cause great variations in price.

For example, Chart E shows one Falcon 2000LX ’For Sale’ with 948 hours AFTT, and one CL605 with 2,194 hours AFTT. The objective is to determine how to use the demand curve when no asking prices are provided. These two estimated prices suggest that one is underpriced and the other

ery 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 E (center left), meanwhile, depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2012 Challenger 605 aircraft in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over six and eight-year periods, assuming a used retail value of $16m, per Vref Pricing guide.

is overpriced. (Of course, the final negotiated price remains a matter between the seller and buyer prior to sale completion).

Demand and Value are on opposite sides of the same Price axis. Thus, the market for used CL605 and Falcon 2000LX jets responds to at least four features: Years, Airframe Total Time (AFTT), Quantity and Asking Prices. Our calculations indicate that each airplane in our study loses about $498 for every hour that it flies.

Productivity Comparisons

The points in Chart F (above) are centered on the same aircraft.

Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in the Vref Price Guide. 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. Range with full payload and available fuel;

2. The long range cruise speed flown to achieve that range; 3. The 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 Challenger 605 displays a high level of productivity.

Popular attributes of the Challenger 605 are a larger cabin volume and significantly lower purchase price compared to the Falcon 2000LX. As mentioned above, while each jet offers similar range, the CL605 exhibits a higher fuel usage (GPH), cost per mile and cost per hour.

Compared with the Falcon 2000LX, the CL605 also has a lower available payload with full fuel.

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

Summary

Within the preceding paragraphs we’ve 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, however.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 continues to be very popular today. Those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison useful.

Our expectations are that the CL605, which started delivering in 2006 and ceased production in 2014, will continue to do very well on the used jet market for the foreseeable future. T

There’s Life in the Old Falcon 50 Yet…

What are the Pros and Cons to Consider Before Buying One? Because of its popularity and the steady demand for the Falcon 50 since its 1980 introduction, there have been several upgrades developed for this versatile business jet, notes John Koltes, President & Owner, Jet Trader Group...

John Koltes is the founder of Jet Trader Group, based in North Texas. As an experienced Chief Pilot with jet aircraft management expertise, John’s passion is helping others find the right aircraft for their mission with the highest level of service and integrity. John formerly served in the Texas Air National Guard.

he performance of its three TFE731-31D engines allows this midsize Falcon 50 to take off from most airports with runways of 5,000’ or longer, and once airborne, carry its passengers an impressive 3,147nm, providing transcontinental reach within the US. However, when purchasing a Falcon 50 there are several factors for a buyer to consider. “A key consideration for prospective Falcon 50 owners is checking the maintenance status of the airplane,” reveals John Koltes, Jet Trader Group.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

“The maintenance status of an aircraft can make the value fluctuate by as much as $1.0m. The two big maintenance expenses on the Falcon 50 are the 12-year gear overhaul requirement and the 6-year ‘C’ check airframe inspection. A prospective buyer should be aware of these as well as when they will come due on a prospective purchase.”

Koltes also encourages prospective buyers to consider purchasing a Falcon 50 that has upgraded engines and avionics. These aircraft will sell for around $600-800k more than the unimproved models and offer new owners a turn-key solution to Aircraft Index see Page 145

executive club seats, and aft two-place club seats across from a three-place divan.

“The most desirable configuration also includes a lavatory located in the aft cabin,” Koltes adds. “Occupants’ baggage is never an issue when you consider the extra-large external baggage compartment.”

Market Summary

modern avionics. “As new avionics mandates are required, the more modern avionics suites will invoke less downtime and expense to meet those mandates,” noted Koltes.

The original Falcon 50 was delivered with an analog Collins avionics package, but has since gone through several changes to include Collins EFIS 86, Proline II, Proline IV and most recently – and still readily available – the Proline 21 avionics suite, which provides flight crews the advantages of a modern, fully integrated glass flight deck. “Pilot situational awareness is dramatically improved with the Proline 21 suite, therefore improving safety, and making it a must-have for any purchaser considering a Falcon 50,” Koltes outlines.

Powerplants

Similar to the avionics, there have been several engine upgrades made available for the Falcon 50. The original engines are Honeywell TFE731-3-1D series engines, which provide 3,700lbs of thrust and require hot section inspections (MPI) every 1,400 hours and an engine overhaul (CZI) every 4,200 hours.

The -3D-1C, -4-1C, and TFE731-40 engine upgrades offer the Falcon 50 owner better performance, increased fuel efficiencies, longer range, and reduced maintenance costs while changing the inspection requirements for the MPI inspection to a 2,100-hour interval. Thus only one hot section inspection is 116

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – March 2016

required between engine overhauls, saving a prospective owner significant maintenance outlay.

The -3D-1C engine upgrade was performed on several early Falcon 50s, while the TFE731-40 was a standard installation on Falcon 50EX models. Most engines are either enrolled on the Manufacturer’s Service Plan (MSP) or Jet Support Services, Incorporated (JSSI) engine plans. A summary of the differences in the engine performance parameters can be seen in Table A (below).

Cabin Configuration

With an interior measuring 23.5ft (length) x 6.1ft (width) x 5.9ft (height), the typical cabin for a Falcon 50 model accommodates nine passengers.

Configurations vary, but most consist of a forward galley, forward four-place

Falcon 50s are available in a wide price range from around $1.0-7.4m, and from the details posted above, you can see what contributes to the variation in price from one model to the next. Early model Falcon 50 prices appear to have leveled off in the market while the later models continue to see quarterly price declines, according to Vref.

“With the upgrades available for the early models, prospective owners can find great value in an early model Falcon 50 with engines upgraded to the -3D-1C status, and a Proline 21 avionics suite can be purchased for under $2.0m,” summarizes Koltes. “At that price point, a new owner can purchase a great aircraft, add some more value to the jet with winglet options and advanced cabin entertainment systems, and still pay less than they would for a late model Falcon 50.

“During its lifetime, the Falcon 50 has proven to be a reliable, stable platform with a great following,” Koltes concludes.

“Owners continue to prove the value of the airplane, and charter companies continue to see the demand for the benefits that the Falcon 50 has to offer their clientele. The Falcon 50 is an aircraft with plenty of life left in it yet.” T More information from http://jettradergroup.com/

OEM Bites Cirrus’ Vision Jet program continues its march towards first customer delivery as progress continues on systems testing and integration of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Numerous significant milestones were accomplished in 2015. Cirrus also unveiled the Perspective Touch by Garmin flight deck and opened new facilities in Duluth for Vision Jet production. With over 550 orders, certification is planned for the first half of 2016 with deliveries set to begin shortly thereafter. www.cirrusaircraft.com Comlux The Aviation Group has announced a firm order for three Airbus ACJ320neo aircraft, becoming the largest customer for Airbus’ new corporate jet family.

Embraer

Dassault Aviation confirmed a two-year delay and production standstill on its all-new Falcon 5X because of ongoing problems with the Snecma Silvercrest engine. The long-range, large-cabin jet which was rolled out in June last year is now not expected to fly until 2017, with first deliveries in early 2020. 5X customers have been informed and though the company will not reveal backlog details for the aircraft, chief executive Eric Trappier says he expects “some order erosion” and states the company will try to offer “other solutions” to buyers expecting an aircraft before 2020. www.dassaultfalcon.com Embraer announced Jackie Chan has become the first customer in China to take delivery of a Legacy 500. Jackie Chan’s connection with Embraer Executive Jets dates to 2012, when he received an Embraer Legacy 650 as China’s launch customer and became Embraer’s brand ambassador. www.EmbraerExecutiveJets.com

Gulfstream

Gulfstream completed G500 flutter testing, achieving another milestone in the new aircraft’s flight-test program. The first G500 test aircraft, T1, performed the tests over the course of more than 50 flights. T1’s longest flight to date lasted more than five hours. The G500 is expected to receive type certification from the US FAA and EASA in 2017. www.gulfstream.com Nextant Aerospace has completed delivery of the second 400XTi aircraft to PlaneSense, Inc., a fractional operator based out of Portsmouth, NH. The original order from PlaneSense called for the purchase of five Nextant aircraft. The PlaneSense program will take delivery of the third aircraft later this quarter and is slated to take the final two deliveries in 2017. www.nextantaerospace.com

Textron Aviation

Textron Aviation delivered more jets and recorded a higher profit in 2015, and it expects to see higher sales and profitability in 2016, despite a Q4 revenue decline in 2015. Textron Inc.’s revenue was $3.9bn in Q4 2015, down 4.2% compared with $4.1bn in revenue in Q4 2014. This year, Textron is expected to see 6% growth in revenue, to $5.1bn, which largely reflects an increase in Latitude deliveries. www.txtav.com  118
