THE AVIATION LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE

Sweat The Small Things... ...before they get to be big things. n the aircraft sales business there is no such thing as a detail that is too small. This hits home even more acutely when trying to accomplish an International transaction. Today, with our industry growing globally, more and more opportunities abound for buying and selling aircraft internationally. The over-supply of aircraft based in Europe and other regions abroad adds significantly to the complexity of an already complicated process. If any of us are considering buying an airplane domestically for a domestic client we have a much easier job of gathering the facts for a purchase consideration. It is highly likely we might even have a friend or fellow sales professional living in the city where the target airplane is and they may be able to run over to the hangar for you for a quick look. Quick looks become difficult when the plane is located a half a world away, though. This gulf puts more reliance on the selling broker to help establish the expectation of the aircraft targeted before the exorbitant expenses necessary to view and understand the aircraft are incurred by a buyer. If the airplane is located in another country, the conformity for US import and likely a Part 135 certificate must be determined before a contract is signed to purchase and the high movement costs are incurred to bring the airplane to the US for inspection. This evaluation by a buying team is not cheap. If the plane is domestic and being purchased for a domestic buyer, US import is not a factor, and Part 135 conformity can occur with much less work when based on the US registry and what may already be an aircraft currently operating on a Part 135 certificate. If the aircraft is based internationally the need to determine the ability as well as cost for import and operations on the US registry, as well as Part 135 conformity can be significant. Therefore, you must bring a team of people internationally to see the aircraft and review the records. Doing this is not for the faint of heart.

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

Preparing for a trip like this should include many questions to the selling broker, and you must be sure you have asked those questions that are important to the ultimate buyer. Is this a smoking or non-smoking aircraft? (The likelihood of a Europe-based aircraft having been smoked in is higher than a US aircraft.) Has there been any damage by lightning strikes or bird strikes, or have any repairs been made to the aircraft? (This should include repairs where rectification was merely part off and part on.) That may seem ‘just a maintenance event’ to many, but the ultimate buyer should know ahead of costly travel and consideration. Like many of our fellow sales professionals, we always go on-site to visit the airplane, review the records, and prepare an “On-Site Visit Report” capturing all evidence of recorded history on the operation of the plane. We report on what may be repetitive repairs or one-time occurrences. This report is not intended as a replacement for the industry recognized due-diligence accomplished by a buyer at a pre-purchase inspection, but it at least includes items that may help the buyer’s team decide whether or not to travel short or long distances to view the aircraft. We may not be able to guarantee that the aircraft has been a non-smoking airplane, but we can certainly report on the condition and even the smell, based on our visit. It would prove financially disastrous if this visit is not accomplished as represented by a seller’s representative, or the correct questions were not asked by the buyer’s representative, especially considering that you would be flying a team of people potentially halfway around the world to perform the visual and conformity work, only to find things are not as they were expected to be. Thus, on top of spending huge sums on a trip ending in disappointment owing to items that could have been better reported, a sale does not materialize. (Incidentally, I would venture to say this tragedy is usually not created by the actual seller who is probably not even aware of the questions being asked, or the answers being

given. They are merely left wondering why the buyers backed off.) Small things can become huge things. As fellow sales professionals, do take the time to understand the aircraft you are representing. If there are questions asked that seem like small things to you, consider that if asked, they must be important to someone. Get the answers. The answers may in fact kill the deal, but it’s better to kill the deal before anyone travels or makes offers, engaging attorneys and moving people all over the world. The result of this will no doubt be additions to LOIs that include the seller committing to the condition of the aircraft to be viewed upon getting to the aircraft. Sellers may be tasked with reimbursing the buyer if once the buyer’s team arrives at the aircraft the representation does not match with the records or physical aircraft. Moving from a “hard deal” to a “soft deal” may also be an outcome of poor information, which can have a huge effect on a process meant to make deals more certain. This is a process that must be good for both sides. Just having prices low does not mean that small things can be overlooked. ❯ Jay Mesinger is the CEO and Founder of J.

AIREPORT

Measuring What Is Important... by David Wyndham etrics are simply a set of measurements that we use to quantify results. In business, they are commonly used to measure important, limited resources. A metric can be used as a measurement of success - how well we are using what is being measured. If you are operating an aircraft for business, you should have some metrics that show the value of the aircraft to your organization. In aviation, we track things like hours flown and passengers carried. While they are important measures of what you are producing, are they measuring the quality and value of what you are producing? Many metrics also involve costs to operate the aircraft, whether that is done via a budget or by other means. Those measurements are all important, especially costs. But, which of those help establish the value of the aircraft to your organization? Seth Godin writes a blog that deals with being productive and creating value in your work. He comes from a tech background, but the topics he covers apply to all sorts of skilled work. In Seth's recent blog post, he brings up two important things about measurements:

1. The thing that you measure should be something that you want to improve. 2. Many organizations measure what is easy, not what is important. He makes the point that many organizations pick an easy metric and then that becomes their focus. Be wary that the easy metric may have the unintended consequence of improving something that has little value to the organization. The use of an aircraft for business most often involves a finite resource: time. The rich-

est person in the world and the poorest all have but 24 hours in their day. The value to the organization of the individual's time is in relation to the impact they have within the organization. The business aircraft can help reduce the low value use of time spent traveling and facilitate high-value time spent being with important customers or in creating things that add value to the business. So time could be a good metric. But is ‘hours flown’ the metric you want to measure? If we are focusing on "improving" this metric, would a decrease in hours flown represent an improvement? Maybe, but maybe not… If you are a commercial operator who is being paid a fixed price to deliver something, reducing the time needed is one good metric.

Many organizations measure what is easy, not what is important. In aviation, we have to measure the hours flown. But the use of those hours flown may not be a good measure of how well your operation is accomplishing its mission. If you are involved in the transportation of senior executives, more valuable but harder metrics might include: • Time avoided traveling by less productive means (Airlines for example) • The value of that time (based on the executive's salary and worth to the company) • The number of high value trips that aircraft enabled. These are not easy measurements, but they can be used to clearly show the value of the

aircraft. Then the cost metrics of how much this service costs can be placed into its proper perspective. The improvement can be in increasing the use of the aircraft in flying those most-valued trips in a cost effective manner. The value of the executives' time is a difficult measure and one that the aviation department has no authority to declare. But, successful companies do value their employees' time and should be making efforts to increase their productivity. This is where the business aircraft has no equal. There are many more metrics that can be used (dispatch reliability or aircraft availability are just two more). What metrics do you report and how many are being used to generate improvements in your services? Remember, to be useful, the metric has to provide a measure that can lead to improvement. ❯ David Wyndham is an owner of Conklin & de Decker.

VIEWPOINT

Pink Slips by Gil Wolin “And one more thing, I got the pink slip, Daddy!” t was 1963, the year of the Lear Jet 23 and Fan Jet Falcon. Pink slips were the coin of the realm among car aficionados as memorialized in the Beach Boys’ hit “Little Deuce Coupe” – not only among surfers in Southern California, but for anyone anywhere within reach of the ubiquitous AM radio signal. Having the pink slip meant the teenager in question held the Certificate of Title, and owned the car outright, with no monthly payments due, nor any fear of repossession mid-date at the drive-in movie – in those days an indication of exceptional fiscal solvency. The Beach Boys are still getting around, and still singing about “pink slips” and the warmth of the sun. But for those teenagers of yore, “getting the pink slip” now signifies loss rather than gain, as it has been the traditional color of a layoff notice delivered to “redundant” employees. We don’t see many actual pink slips these days – just as the Internet has usurped AM radio’s role as purveyor of the soundtrack of adolescence, so has it taken the place of the pink slip used to inform other departments of staff reductions in force. And there’s another pink slip now absent from most offices – the telephone message note. Voicemail laid it low, and now cell phones and email have all-but eliminated the chrome spike on the receptionist’s desk where incoming call details were preserved – if not for posterity, at least until you returned from lunch. Lunch no longer provides any respite from the workday world any more than does air travel. And therein lie two of Business Aviation’s “unique selling propositions”: 24/7 connectivity, and privacy. Add to that security, comfort and efficient use of time, and it becomes evident as to why anyone who can, travels aboard one of the world’s 33,000 business turbines as an owner, charterer, fractional owner or guest. So, with all those advantages, are we see-

ing growth in business jet sales and flight activity? The Magic 8 Ball is wont to say, “Reply hazy - try again.” According to GAMA, first quarter deliveries were up 4%, but that is an increase of only five units. ARGUS TRAQPak numbers for June show a 3.8% decline from May flying – even large cabin jets, whose flying has held up remarkably during the downturn, were off 8.1%. Year-to-date, business turbine flying is down 1.7% compared with 2012 – and that is despite recent double-digit increases in Part 135 charter flying. Now, the US real gross domestic product increased in 1Q 2013 for the 15th consecutive quarter according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Business aircraft sales and flight activity historically have been trailing indicators… but for 15 quarters? IATA’s July forecast for Commercial Airlines projects a 4.3% increase in revenue passenger flying, with a 78.1% load factor. That makes for pretty crowded aircraft – but they have to be crowded, because the average per-passenger profit margin is 1.8%, or $4 per passenger – including full-fare, first class tickets. The problem is that the Airlines don’t sell enough full-fare anything, let alone first class tickets. All bets have been off on ticket prices since 1979, when deregulation opened the skies to price competition. That began an Airline profitability race to the bottom, expedited during the last two decades by the Internet. In order to achieve even minimal profitability, Commercial Airlines have been cutting service with a vengeance – a fact bemoaned by James Atlas in his July 6 Opinionator column in the NY Times, ‘Class Struggle in the Sky’. “The choice of ‘snacks’ on my New York to Miami flight includes blue potato chips, a Luna bar, a packet of trail mix and — a selection I haven’t been offered before — popcorn. But it makes sense: the cabin already feels like a movie theater at the end of a showing, even though we still have an hour to go. The floor is strewn with candy-bar wrappers and broken headsets, crumpled napkins and cracked

plastic glasses… Welcome to economy.” But such service cuts are not enough. The Airlines have lost too many senior executives and High-NetWorthIndividuals to the advantages of business jet travel – travelers they desperately need to subsidize their discount economy air fares. They are fighting back, though. “In May,” Atlas reports, “in an effort to compete with Netjets and private jets, American unveiled a new premier service, an elite category for those who can afford to pay approximately $18,000 for a round-trip ticket to London … Emirates Airlines now offers, as part of its ‘first-class private suite’, a private room with minibar, wide-screen TV and ‘lie-flat bed.’” Will the Airlines be successful in wooing back the full-fare, First Class passenger? I doubt it. But with more than 13% of business jet owners today giving their aircraft “the pink slip” according to JETNET, as an industry we’d best keep focused on doing what we do best – providing safe, efficient travel to thousands of airports Commercial Airlines don’t – and won’t – serve. ❯ Gil Wolin draws on forty years of aviation marketing and management experience as a consultant to the corporate aviation industry.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Encouraging Signs of Recovery Possibly the world’s most recognized expert on the value of Business Aviation, Jack Olcott is a former Editor and Publisher of Business & Commercial Aviation magazine and Vice President within McGraw-Hill’s Aviation Week Group. He was President of the National Business Aviation Association from 1992 through 2003, and today Jack’s network and personal knowledge of Business Aviation uniquely qualifies him to oversee Business Aviation and the Boardroom. More information from www.generalaerocompany.com

Business Aviation is a vital tool to build on improving times. As the financial world parses Fed Chairman Bernanke’s every word to predict likely moves in the economy and as our community continues to suffer politicians bashing corporate jets, Jack Olcott sees encouraging signs for Business Aviation.

or the first time since the 2008 financial crisis, all major manufacturers of corporate jets exhibited their products at this year’s Paris Air Show. That premier of all aviation events, first held in 1909 and now officially entitled Salon international de l’aeronautique et de l’espace, Paris – Le Bourget, had not seen such robust participation from the Business Aviation community since the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) was launched in 2001 and held annually in Geneva, Switzerland, to become the major showcase for business aircraft on the continent. Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault, Embraer and Gulfstream were out in force and apparently pleased with the reception they received, even though just 32 firm orders and 20 options were booked between them. (The Paris Salon continued to be fertile ground for manufacturers of Airlines, however, with orders totaling nearly $150 Billion.) Larger models with intercontinental range are the highlights of the recovering market for business jets. Corporations and entrepreneurs see opportunities in emerging economies situated far from North America. Whereas deliveries of new

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation business aircraft to the USA fell by 1.4 percent and by 0.9 percent in Europe last year (2012), shipments to Africa rose by 7.7 percent, to Asia by nearly 9 percent and to Latin America by 14 percent. The market for larger, pre-owned business jets with significant range capability also is strengthening. Flights by corporations to distant markets have increased. According the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), business jet operations between Europe and emerging-market countries increased by 32 percent between 2006 and 2011. Flights to Asia doubled during the same period.

A NEEDED TRAVEL OPTION Many emerging nations throughout the globe offer corporations and entrepreneurs significant opportunities for market expansion. For example, African nations seek and attract foreign investment for many reasons. Their natural resources are in great demand. Their populations seek jobs and the improved quality of life that results from interface with world commerce. More members of the international community are focusing attention on the health needs of Africans. Leveraging those African opportunities requires a transportation capability that is marginally provided by the scheduled Airlines. There are very few scheduled flights between major African cities; where Airline service is available, multiple stops are the norm. In some situations, according to a spokesperson from Bombardier, travelers had to use connecting flights through Paris or London to reach certain African destinations via the Airlines. Clearly the most efficient and effective form of travel for companies seeking business in Africa is Business Aviation. (As an aside, I find it significant that our nation’s Commander-in-Chief, who rarely misses an opportunity to bash corporate jets, took his family with him on Air Force One as he conducted a state visit to Africa. Obviously, the Boeing 747 was the appropriate means of transportation for a person with such heavy demands on his time, just as it is appropriate for a business leader to use his or her corporate jet to conduct their business.) Reflecting the demand for international travel by corporations, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association reported that over 40 percent of shipments in 2012 were large corporate jets. This segment of Business Aviation is expected to generate nearly 70 percent of the dollars spent on business aircraft during the next decade. Contributing to that value is a healthy backlog for the Gulfstream G650 which has a range of about 7,000 nautical miles and sells for over $65 Million.

GROWING ACCEPTANCE While the recovery is being led by demand for larger, longer-range business jets, the average flight department in the USA operates smaller aircraft. Typically, a company operates one—possibly two— jets or turboprop aircraft capable of carrying four to seven passengers. Such aircraft mostly provide transport between airports with limited (if any) Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

Airline service, and the typical flying time is under two hours. By providing transportation to locations the scheduled Airlines do not serve – and do not want to serve–they are necessities in today’s business environment. Our community is emerging from an era where economic and political forces damped the acceptance of Business Aviation as a necessary tool for growth. The winds of opinion show signs of reversing direction, however. Not long ago they were squarely headwinds. Perhaps now they could be considered quartering, and soon, we trust, they will be pushing our community forward. The need for the unique transportation that only Business Aviation provides is a necessity for a recovering economy.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

The CAM: The Broader Perspective In Context. Peter Agur Jr. is managing director and founder of The VanAllen Group, a business aviation consutancy with expertise in safety, aircraft acquisitions, and leader selection and development. A member of the Flight Safety Foundation’s Corporate Advisory Committee and the NBAA’s Corporate Aviation Managers Committee (emeritus), he is an NBAA Certified Aviation Manager. Contact him via www.VanAllen.com.

Leaders of flight departments should be Certified Aviation Managers (CAM), asserts Pete Agur in this summary of what preparing for and achieving certification accomplishes for companies utilizing Business Aviation.

ithin your company's Business Aviation department, each professional discipline is very focused and limited in scope:

Pilots fly, Technicians maintain, and Schedulers coordinate.

Very few aviation professionals are cross-function trained, much less fully conversant or appreciative of the ins and outs of their cohorts’ roles and responsibilities. In other words, very few aviation professionals are generalists. Yet the key to being a successful leader and manager is to have a grasp of the whole of the business: to be a generalist. Without that broader perspective, the managers of your aviation department are handicapped in their ability to lead and work well together. Additionally, they will have greater difficulty providing the direction that is most appropriate and effective for the business of the flight department and the organization it supports. In other words, as technical experts, they will likely do things right. But, will they be doing the right things for the right reasons? A number of years ago members of the NBAA’s Corporate Aviation Management Committee recog-

nized the need for improved Business Aviation leadership and managerial development and certification. I’m intimately familiar with those efforts because I was a member of that group and am a Certified Aviation Manager. In the end, a thorough design and development process resulted in today’s CAM program.

SOME FAST FACTS ABOUT THE CAM: -

There are currently more than 200 CAMs, including pilots, technicians, schedulers and administrators. - A candidate for the CAM exam must meet minimum qualifications consisting of a blend of education, experience and approved course credits. - The CAM exam contains 175 questions covering five subject areas and is completed in a proctored environment over 3.5 hours. Those topic areas are o Leadership o Business Management o Human Resources o Operations o Technical, Facilities, and Services Over 80% of CAM applicants pass the exam in their first try. U

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation -

The exam program is conducted by ISO-Quality Testing, Inc., an independent testing organization. Ongoing CAM qualification includes the requirement to be periodically recertified through continuous studies and participation in approved industry courses and events.

The CAM program is overseen by an independent governing board. That board is currently seeking accreditation of the CAM program through the NCCA (National Commission for Certifying Agencies). You can learn more about the NBAA’s CAM program at www.nbaa.org/prodev/cam/.

WHY BOARDS SHOULD ENDORSE THE CAM PROCESS: 1. The Business Aviation department is responsible for the safe and effective transportation of your company’s most important assets: its people. The leaders and managers of that department must be the best they can be or there will be heightened levels of risks for the operation and the company. The CAM program supports the goal of leadership excellence. 2. The company’s investment in Business Aviation assets and operations is among the highest it makes in non-core operations. It is essential that this highly visible business unit be well led and managed. Your Board should require that each person in a leadership or managerial role, within the Business Aviation department (or candidates for these positions) either be a CAM or become a CAM within a reasonable period of time. The Board should also seek confirmation that the managers and leaders within the aviation department have the resources to do their jobs (which is to say that they have the time and support needed to prepare for, and maintain their CAM status). This commitment may be more demanding than it sounds because most Business Aviation departments are staffed to achieve operational effectiveness, but are not oriented toward fulfilling managerial and administrative business unit requirements. For instance, for most companies, the Aviation Director (if he or she is an aviator) or the Chief Pilot often flies a schedule that matches or exceeds the norm for a line captain. That means aviation professionals often lead and manage their departments in their spare time. The Board should expect the company’s aviation department’s leaders to have the time available that is needed to do their primary job, which is management. What the ratio between managing and flying should be depends on the maturity of the department and the level of its challenges. The Board should also require the Business Aviation department’s professional development budget be consistent with that of other business units. In fact, a greater budget for managerial training and leadership might be initially necessary because aviation personnel may be starting from a

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

INVEST IN QUALIFYING YOUR FLIGHT DEPARTMENT MANAGER TO DO THEIR JOB.

lower level of competence and development in these areas than your other business units’ leaders. (An important side note: much of the department’s current “training budget” may not actually be a training budget at all. It may be primarily a maintenance budget focused on pilots and technicians attending technical recurrent sessions that have nothing to do with career or professional development.) I recommend the company use a different label for recurrent technical training. This will keep “recurrent” dollars from skewing the accounting for the real investment for professional development. So, that places the CAM in context. It is an excellent tool for developing the competence of your Business Aviation department’s leaders and managers. And as a Board Member, you can make the recommendation that a CAM be a requirement and assure the support for the achievement of that goal.

“...much of the department’s current ‘training budget’ may not actually be a training budget at all.”

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Fractional Ownership: Easy entry into the arena of Business Aircraft (Part 2). David Wyndham is an owner of Conklin & de Decker where the focus of his activities is on aircraft cost and performance analyses, fleet planning, and life cycle costing for clients. Mr. Wyndham can be contacted at david@conklindd.com

Following on from last month, David Wyndham completes his coverage of Fractional Ownership, examining contracts, costs and extraordinary usage.

ractional Ownership requires intricate agreements between the aircraft owners or lessees and the operator. These agreements—exacting contracts, actually—are mandated by the Federal Aviation Regulations in FAR Part 91K. They allow for the purchase or lease of a fractional interest in a single aircraft, direct the fractional provider to manage the aircraft, and allow for the “interchange” of the aircraft in which your company or you own a share to exchange flight time in another airplane within the entire fleet of the fractional provider on relatively little advance notice. Ownership contracts run typically for five years, but it has become common to see 24 and 36month terms. Depending on

the provider, the contracts can be cancelled early with certain conditions. However, each contract usually has unique provisions to suit the needs of the purchaser. Typically, there may be significant financial penalties for early cancelation of the contract.

FRACTIONAL COSTS There are four costs involved with fractional ownership: three are fixed and one is variable. The first fixed cost is the initial capital outlay or lease payment, according to the type of aircraft and the size of the fractional share purchased. The second fixed cost is a monthly management fee for crew, training, hangar, insurance, and other management-related costs. This cost escalates annually based on the CPI or a fixed minimum increase, whichever is greater. The third fixed cost is the base hourly rate for each hour flown to pay for fuel, maintenance, standard catering and normal landing fees. This cost also escalates annually based on the CPI or a fixed minimum increase, whichever is greater. The fourth cost, which is variable, is the Fuel Component Adjustment (FCA) or Fuel Surcharge, which accounts for fluctuations in the cost of fuel and is added to the base hourly rate. This hourly cost adjustment, which stems more from the marketing of the program’s hourly rates rather than the fractional program failing to correctly anticipate their fuel cost, can be nearly as much as the base hourly costs. At the end of the contract (assuming the owner elects not to renew), the share is sold back to the management company and the owner receives a check for the resale price of the asset less resale/marketing expenses. As an owner, you bear the residual value risk. If you sell rather than renew at contract’s end, the share value is based upon market conditions at that time. You do not have the ability to delay the sale waiting for the market to improve. U continued on page 40

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation UNIQUE USES OF FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP While Fractional Ownership is a relatively easy way for a company to launch its initial involvement with Business Aviation, some experienced flight departments use shares to add a different level of capability to existing operations. It is rare that the small, inhouse aviation organization is able to meet 100% of the corporation’s demand 100% of the time. The demand may fluctuate seasonally, or may be associated with the occasional need to have multiple aircraft in use at one time. We have one client who operates primarily in North America. However, their business in Asia has grown dramatically. They are actively exploring the acquisition of a global business jet to take their senior executives from the US to Asia. That demand is not sufficient travel to justify full-time ownership of such a jet, but a 75 to 100 hour fractional share is a perfect fit. A fractional share is a way to bridge the gap between current capacity and future needs as a company expands. For example, if your current aircraft is essentially at full utilization, but demand is increased and you need more flight hours per year, a fractional share may be appropriate. Fractional can also be used as a component of an executive compensation package. Another client of ours has provided its CEO with 50-hours of Fractional Ownership for his personal use. That arrangement keeps the compensation amount clear and avoids tax-related issues with personal use of the company aircraft.

SUMMARY The advantages of Fractional Ownership are many: • Service levels are generally very high. • Professionally dispatched aircraft are available 24/7 . • Costs to acquire the aircraft are proportional to the share size. • Aircraft interiors/exteriors are standardized among the fractional fleet. • For a business, there is the ability to have the tax benefits of depreciation that come with ownership. • Hourly costs are for occupied hours. The cost to position the aircraft to pick you up is not directly charged to you. • Aircraft availability is guaranteed with as little as four-hours notice. • Within a fractional provider’s fleet offerings, you can upgrade or downgrade aircraft size with a billing ration in proportion to the aircraft. • Single point of contact applies for all services. But there are also elements of Fractional Ownership that must be considered, such as: • Fixed annual hours and fixed contract lengths may not match your travel needs. • Leaving a contract early can result in exit fees. (Read contract carefully.) • Minimum billable flight time is one hour. • Limited types of aircraft are available. • Contracts only purchased in blocks of 25 hours.

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

•

When exiting the program, the aircraft is assigned a Fair Market Value. You have little control over the pricing, and time of sale coincides with your contract, not the aircraft market.

Overall, Fractional Ownership offers an excellent first step into the benefits of owning an aircraft. The fractional provider handles all the details. The share owner has access to experienced flight crews and mechanics. And if the typical mission profile calls for considerable one-way flying, costs can be low compared to other options.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Confidence ...and the Need to Seek Balance Jay Mesinger is the CEO and Founder of J. Mesinger Corporate Jet Sales, Inc. Jay is on the NBAA Board of Directors and is Chairman of AMAC.

Economists rarely agree, except for the importance that consumer confidence plays in a recovering market. Jay Mesinger expounds on analogies that capture his perception of market dynamics impacting Business Aviation. s an individual who has devoted his career to Business Aviation, with emphasis on the resale side of our community, I keep looking for the fine balance of market forces that impact evaluation models for business aircraft, and thus stimulate confidence that our business decisions will be successful. Two very graphical analogies immediately come to mind. First is the circus act of spinning plates on top of rods placed vertically. The plates sit on the very end of what are about four-foot long poles, and the showman starts them spinning as he moves quickly down the line, keeping all plates at the proper rotational speed and not falling. This balancing is accomplished by running up and down the row, constantly adding a twist at just the right moment. As long as their speed is maintained, the plates will not fall off the rod. Another analogy is the bicycle wheel, with its hub and spokes supporting a rim and tire. As long as the spokes are intact the rim and tire remain perfectly round and a smooth ride is attained. If a spoke or spokes were to break, however, letting the rim settle unevenly, the ride gets rough. Now let’s consider the balance of market forces and the confidence that good balance creates. As the economic recovery lumbers along, it seems that just as we get the first plates spinning, the plates at the other end of the line start to slow and fall off of the rods. The same goes for the round wheel. You get one spoke replaced and another one snaps. Trying to balance economic recovery month after month, continent after continent, has been an enormous challenge. As soon as we get the US plates spinning, Europe’s plates start to slow down and wobble. Hopefully we can get them all spinning sufficiently before one or more “plates” drops to the ground and shatters.

WHAT INDEED IS GOOD NEWS? In the late spring, economists postulated that the US economy may be improving at a rate faster than forecast, which might cause the Federal Reserve to curtail continued on page 48

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation its supporting measures like buying US Bonds. Initial reaction from the stock market was highly negative. Imagine the idea that a more robust recovery requiring less government assistance would damage financial markets. Next, a sharp increase in long-term interest rates, triggered by Federal Reserve statements just a few weeks ago, threaten sales of homes, cars and other big-ticket items. I believe some market watchers overreacted. Rate increases on interest-sensitive sectors likely will not be sufficiently severe to derail the recovery, say economists. Nevertheless, interest-rate news arrived just as the economy’s lagging growth was showing welcome signs of improvement. The fear of unbalance among economic indicators raised worries among consumers and company executives. Although interest rates may not be the dominant indicator or driver defining the market for business aircraft, uncertainly about borrowing effects the entire economy including our corner of the marketplace. So now we have a new broken spoke and perhaps a slowing plate. The current utilization reports from our industry indicate that the charter industry remains flat and shows no decisive signs of improving in the near-term. Aircraft utilization among corporate flight departments and charter providers is always a key indicator of the health of our sector. Ultimately these flat forecasts will impact the market in general. Whether picking up or slowing down, there is a trickle effect between the various segments of our market. For instance, many wonderful things occur if just one aircraft is sold to a first-time buyer: pilots are hired, maintenance facilities get engaged to perform inspections for the transfer of ownership, refurbishments are planned and executed, insurance policies are sold, hangars are rented, fuel is consumed. The entire industry gets a great boost. Conversely when sales remain flat, the trickle effect works in reverse. It is a difficult task to maintain balance across industry and economic lines. But it is important to do so. Balance creates confidence, which spurs spending.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MIDST OF UNBALANCE Even in the darkest cloud there can be a silver lining. Although at record lows, prices of business jets remain attractive and inviting for buyers. Once priced correctly, aircraft are selling. If your company is considering a first-time purchase of a business aircraft, the time could not be better. If you have an existing flight department and you are considering a transition, the ability to complete this transition successfully is excellent. Of course the sales price of your relinquished aircraft may be lower than you had expected, but that fact may be balanced by a particularly attractive acquisition price for the replacement aircraft. Spin the plates, check the spokes and ride smoothly and confidently into the future. The benefits to be derived from Business Aviation are exceptional.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

A Trap For The Unwary: Flight Department Companies. Troy A. Rolf, a business aviation and tax attorney, manages the Minnesota office of GKG Law, P.C. Contact him via email at trolf@gkglaw.com.

Among the first decisions that any company considering an aircraft acquisition must make is how to structure its ownership and operations. Forming a separate entity for providing air transportation is fraught with unique issues, cautions Troy Rolf. company that has a legitimate need for Business Aviation to transport its executives, employees and property in connection with the company’s business can own and operate its aircraft “in house” as a division of the company. However, many companies decide to own and operate their aircraft not “in house”, but rather to form a new company, separate from the primary operating business, whose sole purpose is to own and operate the aircraft and

provide air transportation services to the primary operating business. A company formed for this purpose is commonly referred to as a "Flight Department Company”. Typically, a Flight Department Company is owned as a direct subsidiary of the primary operating business, but it is also common for a Flight Department Company to be owned in other ways, such as directly by the CEO or majority shareholder of the primary operating business. In any event, Flight Department Companies typically either employ, or obtain from third party vendors, the services of flight crews, maintenance technicians, and all other support personnel required for the operation of the aircraft. They typically provide air transportation services to the primary operating business, and often to other affiliated entities and associated individuals as well, while operating under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“Part 91”). The costs of flight operations in such cases are usually funded by direct payments from the primary operating business to the Flight Department Company. Flight Department Companies usually operate on a break-even basis, with payments from the primary operating business merely covering the Flight Department Company’s actual costs of owning and operating the aircraft.

WHY FLIGHT DEPARTMENT COMPANIES?

TREAD CAREFULLY !

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

www.AvBuyer.com

The prime motivating force behind selecting an ownership and operating structure of this nature usually is the desire to protect the assets of the primary operating business from potential catastrophic liability. The legal theory behind such a structure is that a potential plaintiff will only be entitled to recover damages from the Flight Department Company, and that the statutory liability shield under which the Flight Department Company operates will protect the assets of the primary operating business from the claims of the potential plaintiffs. continued on page 56 U Aircraft Index see Page 4

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation

Any company that has as its primary purpose the ownership and operations of aircraft to provide air transportation services to any other person or entity, and that receives compensation of any kind whatsoever for such services, falls within the regulatory definition of a commercial charter air carrier, and therefore must be certificated in accordance with Part 119 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“Part 119”), and operate under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“Part 135”). This is true regardless of whether or not the aircraft operating company provides air transportation services to the general public or only to the company’s own parent company, and regardless of whether or not the aircraft operating company is a profit-making business or is only reimbursed for actual expenses. Flight Department Companies are commercial charter air carriers under the Federal Aviation Regulations—period, end of discussion.

NON-EXISTENT PROTECTION Very few Flight Department Companies actually make the investments in time and capital necessary to obtain certification as commercial charter air carriers, however. Consequently, most Flight Department Companies operate illegally as unlicensed charter operators, often without even realizing they are violating the law, with the result that the oft hoped-for liability protection may be illusory. The prohibition against Flight Department Companies is widely ignored by many aircraft owners, perhaps in part because the Federal Aviation Administration historically has not actively sought out violators. In fact, some Flight

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

Department Companies have operated for several decades without the FAA ever initiating an enforcement action. One should not, however, interpret the passive stance of the Federal Aviation Administration as an endorsement of the legitimacy of this practice. In fact, based on historical practice, FAA scrutiny of the operations of a Flight Department Company is not likely to occur so long as the Flight Department Company continues to operate safely and only for its own parent company and affiliates, but rather will be most likely to arise following some event that brings attention to the operation, such as an accident or incident, or the occurrence of some other regulatory violation. In such an event, regulatory violations associated with the operations of a Flight Department Company could violate representations and warranties in the liability and hull insurance policies covering the aircraft resulting in denials of insurance coverage, and/or could be grounds for piercing the corporate veil if it can be shown that the purpose for which the Flight Department Company was formed (i.e., the provision of air transportation services for compensation or hire under Part 91), was an illegal purpose. In light of the potential legal pitfalls associated with the operations of Flight Department Companies, any company that utilizes, or is considering the utilization of a Flight Department Company should consult with an aviation attorney.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Be Timely & Efficient: The Importance of those Dang Insurance Forms. Stuart Hope is a co-owner of Hope Aviation Insurance. His career as an aviation insurance broker began in 1979, and today he is a frequent speaker/author on insurance & risk management topics. He also serves on the NBAA Tax, Insurance and Risk Management Committee. Mr. Hope can be contacted at shope@hopeaviation.com

How do policy holders participate in sabotaging their own aircraft insurance program? Stuart Hope counts the ways. he yearly letter from your insurance company arrives sounding the alarm for another approaching renewal: Your aircraft insurance policy does not renew automatically, and we will require current and updated information from your broker. In the meantime, you are hereby notified that premium and/or coverage may change depending on the information we receive. OK, we all know filling out these forms is about as much fun as having the proverbial tooth pulled, but we’re also talking about a system designed to protect all that you have worked so hard to build. Part of that protection system is completing these forms in as much detail as possible. When you don’t complete them properly or fail to return them in a timely manner, you are creating a chink in your own armor. Consider the following three ways to be your own worst enemy when seeking insurance coverage:

“Part of that protection system is completing these forms in as much detail as possible.”

1. Procrastinate over completing the requested updates until the last minute. Most insurance brokers send the renewal update forms to their clients 60 to 90 days in advance of the policy expiration. As a broker, I find we are often required to follow up multiple times for the return of these important documents. If they are returned promptly, it gives the broker current information (read ‘ammunition’) and more importantly, time to properly market your account with other insurance companies. It takes time to negotiate with each underwriter on pricing and coverage. In this day and age where many firms are using a staff of five to do the work of 10 employees, getting a response can take weeks, not days. Waiting until the last minute hamstrings your agent. Since the aviation risk probably represents one of the largest catastrophic loss exposures you or your company faces, continuing coverage absolutely should be identified as top priority and treated as such.

HANDLE YOUR INSURANCE FORMS IN A PRIORITY, ORDERLY FASHION.

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation 2. Giving the forms to the least qualified person for completion. Since aviation has its own vernacular, giving the form to someone in your office who doesn’t know a Cessna 150 from a Cessna 510, RVSM from TAWS, or an N-number from an airport ID, virtually assures that incorrect or incomplete information will be submitted on your behalf. Missed details are the difference between writing a policy as bulletproof as possible and one that’s full of holes. Generally it will be a team effort with your pilot(s) completing the areas of the forms where they are experts and your finance/insurance department folks filling out the remainder. 3. Leaving questions blank, or giving vague or half-answers. Many insureds leave questions blank or give half-answers because they are under the impression that if they answer ‘yes’ to a question querying whether they are engaged in a certain activity, they will be charged more premium. It is simply wrong to assume that not answering, or giving a half-answer will result in adequate coverage. The questions on applications are designed to identify uninsured exposures. If a ‘yes’ answer to a question identifies an uninsured exposure, you will want to know what it would take to plug this gap in your protection. Often coverage can be added at no additional premium. If there is a premium, you can decide whether to pay it, or possibly not engage in the activity. To not address an insurance company’s question is the wrong decision.

GIVE YOUR INSURANCE BROKER PLENTY OF DETAIL TO PLOT YOUR NEXT MOVE

DETAILED DOCUMENTATION So not surprisingly, successfully renewing an insurance policy is all about ‘details, details, details’. Like it or not, underwriters are generally forced to get to know you (and judge you) through a piece of paper. And they love paper with plenty of details! If you’re doing all the right things but aren’t taking the time to document them or otherwise let your broker know what is happening, you lose the horsepower that works in your favor at renewal time. Completely filling out applications, renewal questionnaires and pilot forms in a timely manner gives brokers much-needed ammunition when they go to bat for your coverage program and premium rates. Completeness and accuracy also sends a subliminal message to underwriters: ‘If you are this detail-oriented when it comes to paperwork, imagine how meticulous and safe your aviation department must be!’ Also, don’t forget to forward a copy of training certificates, including any events such as Engine & Ops Seminars or online safety courses that you or

your flight personnel may have completed during the year. Finally, if you have any questions when completing these insurance forms, pick up the phone and call your aviation insurance broker. If necessary, have their insurance specialists go over the renewal forms with you from start to finish. It’s why you pay them. Do you have any questions or opinions on the above topic?

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Turbo Deliveries First Quarter Numbers Astound

“The top-selling turboprops tend to be aircraft that are continually popular among pilots who fly for their own businesses.”

Today’s turboprops offer a broad range of turbine performance, propeller cost-effectiveness (some with at, or near Light jet cruise performance capabilities) with cabin and cockpit accoutrements that rival the best of the jet airplanes.

ooking at the first quarter GAMA aircraft delivery numbers, compared to the first quarter of 2012, turboprop deliveries increased by a startling 29.2% from 108 units delivered to 136, but in a departure from previous practice, GAMA didn’t report them that way. Instead, turboprop deliveries were segmented into single-and multi-engine categories, with the single-engine turboprops up 14.8% at 102 units, from 89 for the same period last year, and the multi-engine turboprops up an enormous 78.9%, with 34 units compared with 19 last year. A comprehensive analysis of all airplane deliveries for the first quarter can be found in the June issue of World Aircraft Sales Magazine. It seems that Turboprops periodically enjoy better

times than the jet and piston aircraft market segments. Perhaps that has something to do with owner-flying. The top-selling turboprops tend to be aircraft that are continually popular among pilots who fly for their own businesses. While exceptions exist anywhere, generally turboprop airplanes offer a common set of attractive attributes. The engines are responsible for most - for example, turboprop engines benefit today from propeller designs that are far more sophisticated than only a decade ago. The results are lower maintenance costs, longer overhaul cycles, improved climb and cruise performance, and in turn this contributes to reduced noise levels in the cabin. In addition, specific fuel consumption numbers continue to improve, with the practical effect of allowing the use of higher power levels without suffering a proportionate increase in fuel consumption/costs. That, in turn, contributes to improvements in take-off, climb and cruise speed. Another advantage is the single-pilot operational simplicity engineered into even the multi-engine turboprops. The only exceptions to the sum total of these benefits exist among the unpressurized models that are available, and form a small, important and dynamic segment of the turboprop market.

TURBOPROP PRICE GUIDE The following Turboprop Retail Price Guide represents current average values published in The Aircraft Bluebook–Price Digest. The study spans model years from 1994 through Summer 2013 (20 year period). Values reported are in US$ millions, with each reporting point representing the current average retail value published in the Bluebook by its corresponding calendar year. For example, the Beech King Air 350i reported in the Summer 2013 edition of the Bluebook shows $4.6 million for a 2010 model, $5.2 million for a 2011 model and so forth. Aircraft are listed alphabetically.

2003 Falcon 2000 SN 192 2500 Hours and Exceptional Pedigree. Redefining “super” in a super-midsized aircraft. The Falcon 2000 has been the long-standing leader in the “super-mid” category. With a spacious, quiet cabin, transcontinental range and a miserly fuel burn, the Falcon 2000 delivers outstanding value. 2003 Serial Number 192 offers even more. This low-time aircraft briefly served as a Falcon demonstrator, and has since been flown Part 91 by a single corporate owner, one who has operated Falcons continuously for over 45 years. This aircraft has been cared for and maintained to the highest standard. The roomy cabin is tastefully finished in neutral earth tones and is ideally configured for 8 passengers, including a 4-place club arrangement and a 4-place conference group. Perfect for working, dining or just relaxing! Additional comfort comes from knowing your maintenance costs can be controlled through SN 192’s enrollment in Honeywell’s MSP engine and APU programs, as well as HAPP and CASP avionics programs. It’s time to redefine your flying experience with the truly distinctive Falcon 2000 SN 192. To learn more, call Jim Donath at Donath Aircraft Services.

AIRCRAFT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS CITATION EXCEL

LEARJET 45

Cessna Citation Excel by Michael Chase n this month’s Aircraft Comparative Analysis, we provide information on a medium-size business jet, Cessna’s Citation Excel. We’ll consider some of the productivity parameters including payload, range, speed and cabin size, along with its current market value. This month’s field of study also includes Bombardier’s Learjet 45.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

BRIEF HISTORY The Citation brand encompasses six distinct families of aircraft. The Citation Excel, the XLS and the XLS+ comprise one of these families. In total 372 Citation Excels were built between 1998 and 2004. The Citation Excel is a growth/derivative variant of the Citation V Ultra utilizing a shortened Citation X stand-up fuselage and a lengthened Citation V wing. www.AvBuyer.com

The Excel utilizes two Pratt & Whitney PW545A engines that made it faster than the V Ultra and gave it a higher MGTOW and a longer range. An advanced avionics suite includes a Honeywell Primus 1000 flight guidance system and a single AlliedSignal flight management system. This aircraft can be RVSM certified when Service Bulletin SL-560XL-34-02 is continued on p70 ❯ complied with. WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

POWERPLANT DETAILS The Citation Excel is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines, each offering a thrust rating of 3,804 pounds. The Learjet 45, meanwhile, is powered by a pair of Honeywell TFE73120AR engines, each with a thrust rating of 3,500 pounds. Table B (bottom left), sourced from the Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) shows the fuel usage by each aircraft model in this field of study. The Citation Excel - at 225 gallons per hour (GPH) - uses 30 gallons per hour (or 15.4%) more fuel than the Learjet 45 (195 GPH).

Using data published in the May 2013 B&CA Planning and Purchasing Handbook and the August 2012 B&CA Operations Planning Guide we will compare our aircraft. The nationwide average Jet-A fuel cost in the August 2012 edition was $6.30 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. ‘Cost per Mile’ is detailed in Chart C (top right) which compares the Citation Excel to the Learjet 45 factoring direct costs, and with each aircraft flying a 1,000nm mission with 800 pounds (four passengers) payload. The Citation Excel’s cost at $4.92 per nautical mile is greater by $1.07 per mile (or 28%) than the Learjet 45 at $3.85. Aircraft Index see Page 4

The result is a very large number so for the purpose of charting, each result is divided by one billion. The examples plotted are confined to the aircraft in this study. A computed curve fit on this plot would not be very tight, but when all business jets are considered the “r” squared factor would equal a number above 0.9. Others may choose different parameters, but serious business jet 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 Citation Excel aircraft, as shown in the productivity index Chart E, is highly productive. It has been popular with a higher market share percentage and delivered more aircraft after having started production one year later (1998 vs 1997) than the Learjet 45. While it offers more available payload with full fuel and a larger cabin volume, it does, however cost more to operate, travels at a slower long-range speed and has a higher retail price. Table C (bottom right) shows the average pre-owned retail price from Vref for each aircraft – both 2004 models. The last three columns of information show the number of aircraft in-operation, the percentage “For Sale”, and the number “Sold” from JETNET. It is interesting to note that with 369 aircraft in operation only 7.8% of the Excel fleet is currently for sale (traditionally a seller’s ❯ market). Conversely, out of a fleet of 242

Table D (right), meanwhile, offers a breakdown of the location by continent for the Wholly-Owned Citation Excel business jet fleet. North America is home to the majority of the fleet, with 71% of the 302 whollyowned Excel aircraft, followed by Europe at 15%. Currently, 12 Citation Excel aircraft are in shared ownership and there are 55 in fractional ownership programs.

SUMMARY Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the key attributes that business jet operators value. However, there are often other qualities such as service and support that factor in a buying decision,

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

The following describes the content of each cost element used in The Aircraft Cost Evaluator. There are no sales taxes included in these costs. VARIABLE COST PER HOUR Includes fuel, maintenance reserves for routine maintenance, engine/ propeller/APU reserves, and miscellaneous expenses. SPECIFICATIONS - GENERAL: CABIN DIMENSIONS Cabin Height, Width, and Length are based on a completed interior. On “cabin-class” aircraft, the length is measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead (or aft cabin bulkhead if unpressurized). For small cabin aircraft, the distance is from the cockpit firewall to the aft bulkhead. Height and width are the maximum within that cabin space. Cabin Volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs or other furnishings. Cabin Door Height and Width are the measurements of the main passenger cabin entry door. BAGGAGE Internal baggage volume is the baggage volume that is accessible in flight by the passenger. This amount may vary with the interior layout. External baggage volume is the baggage volume not accessible in flight (nacelle lockers, etc.). CREW SEATS/SEATS EXECUTIVE This is the typical crew and passenger seating commonly used on the aircraft. This is not the maximum certificated seats of the aircraft. These numbers may vary for different operations (Corporate, Commercial, EMS, etc.). WEIGHTS: • Maximum Take-Off Weight and Maximum Landing Weight are specified during aircraft certification. • Basic Operating Weight is the empty weight, typically equipped, plus unusable fuel and liquids, flight crew @ 200 pounds each and their supplies. • Useable fuel is the useable fuel in gallons x 6.7 pounds per gallon (Jet fuel) or 6 pounds per gallon (AVGAS). • Payload with Full Fuel is the useful load minus the useable fuel. The useful load is based on the maximum ramp weight minus the basic operating weight. • Maximum Payload is the maximum zero fuel weight minus the basic operating weight. SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE RANGE: • Range - Seats Full is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alter-

www.AvBuyer.com

nate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft. • Ferry Range - is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft. • VFR Range - Seats Full is the maximum VFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters and piston fixed-wing aircraft. • VFR Ferry Range - is the maximum VFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters and piston fixed-wing aircraft. BALANCED FIELD LENGTH BFL is the distance obtained by determining the decision speed (V1) at which the take-off distance and the accelerate-stop distance are equal (fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft only). This is based on four passengers and maximum fuel on board (turbine aircraft). For single-engine and all piston fixed-wing aircraft, this distance represents the take-off field length at Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW). LANDING DISTANCE (FACTORED) For fixed-wing turbine aircraft, landing distance is computed using FAR 121 criteria. This takes the landing distance from 50/35 feet (depends on certification criteria) and multiplies that by a factor of 1.667. No credit is given for thrust reversers. Configuration is with four passengers and NBAA IFR Fuel Reserve on board. For fixed-wing piston aircraft, this figure is the landing distance over a 50 foot obstacle. RATE OF CLIMB (Ft/Min) The rate of climb, given in feet per minute, is for all engines operating, at MTOW, ISA conditions. One Engine Out rate of climb is for one engine inoperative rate of climb at MTOW, ISA. CRUISE SPEED (Knots True Air Speed - KTAS) Max Cruise Speed - is the maximum cruise speed at maximum continuous power. This may also be commonly referred to as High Speed Cruise. Normal cruise speed is the recommended cruise speed established by the manufacturer. This speed may also be the same as Maximum Cruise Speed. Long Range Cruise is the manufacturer’s recommended cruise speed for maximum range. ENGINES The number of engines, manufacturer and model are shown. Aircraft Index see Page 4

SAFETY MATTERS: SINGLE PILOTS

Safety & The Single Pilot: Business & flying demand your full attention. by Dave Higdon

ot all businesses enjoy the depth of personnel needed to establish and staff a dedicated flight department. The flip side of the large-company corporate flight department, which accounts for a large percentage of the business aircraft fleet, is the ‘one-aircraft, single-pilot’ flight department. For a large percentage of those, the furtherance of the business rests entirely in the hands of the same single pilot. Small businesses far outnumber large ones in the US, and their owners and operators increasingly recognize the benefits of private aircraft travel to their business. As the world of business continues to apply advanced technologies and complex systems in their ‘quest

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

for success’, so Business Aviation has seen some significant changes in its aircraft systems. But even without the added complexities of advanced-technology cockpits, the single pilot dealing with all the contingencies of flying in today's environment faces an excessive workload. The owner/pilot is, by default, the Chief Pilot – or, as one puts it, “The Always Pilot.” If the owner is not flying the aircraft, in most cases the company aircraft is not flying. That occurs for many reasons, not least the demands of focusing on business. When you consider the many complications that accompany serving as Chief Pilot in an owner/pilot operation, some aviation-related, some related to the core business, all can have implications www.AvBuyer.com

for safe flying. Running a business and flying are both full-time jobs. The responsibilities require the same focus and professionalism, irrespective of which pays the wages for the owner/pilot. “Professionalism has nothing to do with getting a paycheck,” stressed Gene Cernan. A retired Captain in the U.S. Navy, commander of the last manned mission to our satellite, Apollo 17, and the last man to walk on the Moon, Cernan has repeated his contention for years at Bombardier's Safety Standdown events. “Professionalism has everything to do with applying a professional frame of mind, of striving to make everything as good as you can make it – with a professional attitude.” Aircraft Index see Page 4

Safety Matters August13_Gil WolinNov06 16/07/2013 09:23 Page 2

department's organizing philosophies can move a solo pilot closer to a higher standard of safety. Consider the following tips for completing solo trips that you'll be able to describe with the best term of all: “Uneventful”.

MINIMA MINDEDNESS One practice many flight departments embrace involves establishing company minima and guidelines for aircraft operations. The personal minima encouraged by various safety organizations can be a good place to start. They can be as simple as a rule restricting yourself from night, IMC, period, or one more nuanced that also weighs ceiling and visibility (no night, IMC below VFR minima). Other parameters can look at terrain: No night flying over mountains or water, VMC of IMC; or approach types, such as restricting or eliminating circle-to-land approaches (at night or in specific terrain, etc.). To be successful, those personal minima must also address work and duty against flight demands. For example, launching off on a four-hour crosscountry flight in IMC may not be the smartest idea for ending a 14-hour day of traveling, meeting and working - even if it does mean an overnight stay when you'd prefer your home bed. Set limits on how long your work day can last before you proactively cut yourself off the flight-duty roster. The same should apply to your flying hours in a day – and to your currency. For example, no cross-country flights with IMC if you’ve been over a month since last touching the controls; or it’s more than a month since your last instrument approach. Does that set you higher than the FAA's bar? Yes sir. And for good reason!

MINIMUMS DON'T CUT IT

The problems arise on either side of the equation anytime the Chief Pilot of a singlepilot operation lets work intrude in the cockpit environment, just as the business can suffer from too much cockpit encroaching on the office environment.

THE ONE-PERSON FLIGHT DEPARTMENT There is a world of difference between the pressures to fly for the business owner versus those faced by leisure aviators who fly for personal transport. You can cancel a breakfast fly-out, Hundred-Dollar Hamburger flight, or a weekend visit to relatives if work is full-on. As disappointing as it may be at the time, the Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

chances are another opportunity will arise, but the prospect of missing a business appointment with its implications for revenue produces pressure to fly irrespective of the workload. Attempting to keep an appointment against good sense or smart planning can cause major problems for the owner/pilot. Some small, common-sense preparatory steps, practices and attention to the risks can make a huge difference and obviate many of the risks. Maximizing operations around safety takes a little effort from the single-pilot operator. The pay-off comes the first time a single-pilot operator arrives in one piece for his or her business meeting. Adapting suitable elements of a flightwww.AvBuyer.com

The currency standards the FAA sets are meant to be minimum standards. The NASA Aviation Safety Reporting Service (ASRS) and its publication CallBack are replete with examples of pilots who encountered challenging circumstances for which they had not trained – many of the pilots admit they simply weren't required to. A business owner flying 250 hours a year may average almost five hours per week in the cockpit, but that doesn't necessarily mean the ILS approach, the Back Course Localizer approach, or the ILS-like LPV approach has come up recently in their experience. Night currency need not be a stand-alone item on the list. You can fulfill basic currency for day and night on the same mission. Meeting approach minima can take work, too, if a pilot is honest and admits that many of the recent flights on instruments only qualified for approach credit technically, because ❯ conditions went VMC after initiating the WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

SAFETY MATTERS: SINGLE PILOTS approach, but well before hitting the published altitude minimum. Train for those least-used approaches – even when you don't normally ever need one of them – because you never know when the need will arise!

IF IT CAN BREAK, PRACTICE FOR FAILURE Practicing for least-used or never-used approaches is smart because you can never count 100% on getting the desired approach. Equipment fails on the ground and airborne. If the glideslope on the ILS is out, you may face an LOC approach (localizer, only) if one is published. Alternatively, winds may put the ILS out of the question but give you a perfect condition for a Back-course LOC approach. If your needle doesn't self-correct you will need to remember to reverse-correct from a normal localizer. Have you flown one lately? Let’s not forget about partial panel, a whole new regimen in today’s glass cockpits. Displays fail, display drivers fail, and the response required will vary according to the equipment. If round stand-by instruments back up glass, when was your last turn of partial-panel, EFIS Style? Does the panel support a second screen and a reversionary mode? Are you adept at using it? What if the panel has no second display capable of showing primary flight data but has an EFIS-style standby set? You need to consider adding regular time with an instructor or back-up pilot on top of your existing recurrent training and biennial flight review preparation.

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

PRACTICE USUAL PROCEDURES UNUSUALLY Among today's top issues for safety experts is a perceived deterioration of hand-flying skills among pilots flying technically-advanced aircraft – from Beechcraft G36 Bonanzas to Cirrus SR20 and STR22 models, through Piper Meridians, Cessna Mustangs and others older, but retrofitted aircraft with the advanced panels common to these single-pilot business aircraft. Taught with an emphasis on autopilot use, some of these pilots have suffered from that focus when a system failure forced them to once again depend on their hand-flying skills – skills likely atrophied badly. Flying the occasional leg without turning on the autopilot or flight-management system helps keep those skills sharp. To sharpen the edge of those skills, consider some instrument practice using nothing but your hands (with an instructor or another legal pilot acting as safety observer pilot). No Autopilot, no FMS, no stability augmentation or other artificial, mechanical hands involved - and if available, seek out some soft, inclement weather to enhance the realism of the practice. Practice, too, resisting the temptation to change your decision in favor of flying anyway!

FIRST SHOT AT SECOND DECISION Fatalities from sitting out a flight are unheard of. Fatalities from trying to ‘get there’ at all costs are too common to be helpful. The pressure to arrive somewhere can, and does overwhelm too many pilots.

www.AvBuyer.com

Rationalizing away your own minima, your own best judgment and your own common sense underpins too many accidents and fatalities. Making a part of your personal checklist a space to make a new decision can help save your life. Instead of “I've REALLY got to get to X” consider asking yourself, “What's the worst that's going to happen if I don't try to fly [in this/right now/this tired/all of the applicable and more]?” Remember that no pilot ever perished from a flight that wasn’t flown. But it takes a special mindset to accept the reality that the world will continue to spin if you are late on a trip; that the sun will rise tomorrow if you cancel. It’s better to be late than a late Owner/Pilot: Make it your mantra! Life will continue without you should you die trying to make a flight that would have been best postponed. One day this rule may mean driving 18 hours home in a rental car, spending 24 hours on catch-up business, driving 18 hours back to the airplane, and then, after that disjointed 2.5 days, deciding to lose another eight hours in order to catch up on sleep. This philosophy also rewards those who carry a credit card for buying an Airline ticket or renting a car to return home. Of course, something or someone will need to retrieve the airplane, but the underlying message is that new decisions are allowed at every phase; from before take-off, to en route, to landing attempts. And in making a new decision to wait, the airplane will remain in one piece and you'll return home in good condition.

APPROACH IMPROVEMENTS

The Circling Approach:

usiness aircraft pilots and dependent operators: Congratulations are due. In the first week of May the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gave the flying community some more maneuvering room where the circling-approach instrument arrivals are a frequently used solution. The FAA, after hearing of the challenges, complaints and criticisms undertook a review that resulted in a change in standards for publishing circle-to-land approaches – one that increases protected airspace and the visibility margins required. For some pilots the changes could resolve a conflict faced between the need to get in at an airport and a company's operating policies restricting use of circling approaches – or, sometimes, banning them outright under conditions when they're needed the most: IMC. For those who are not so constrained by employer policies, the changes still provide increased margins to maneuver for these approaches – particularly at higher altitudes and airspeed. Essentially the change gives pilots larger-radii circling approaches, which in turn adds room with which to stabilize their approaches. The necessity to fly tighterradius circling approaches to work out a stabilized approach on final has been contributing to an uptick in runway over-run accidents and missed approaches; both are expensive. And the change appears to have eased the minds of corporate pilots about completing the procedure when faced with ❯ the need to execute one.

APPROACH IMPROVEMENTS

A SOLUTION FOR WHEN OTHERS FAIL Among the airports that qualify for one form of instrument approach procedure or another, not all boast an ILS approach. Expense is high, so the bar to clear is equally elevated to match the $1.5 million cost. Not all instrument-qualified airports boast an LPV approach (Lateral Precision with Vertical Guidance). The $50,000 expense is dirt cheap compared to the ILS, but today competition is steep and dollars are tight for even the low price-tag projects. The bar, lower proportionately, still requires the airport to meet a demonstrated level of need. Localizer-only, NDB approaches and others dependent on ground equipment can safely, reliably get you to the airport area. But without visibility of at least a mile, winds alone can thwart your arrival plans thanks to their refusal to favor the runway aligned with your final approach – regardless of the procedure type. It's for procedures like these that the circling approach is both appropriate and safe when flown correctly. Consider those VOR approaches, for example, that take you across some portion of the runway at as much as 90 degrees off its orientation. The circle-to-land procedure provides the transition from minimum decision height to final to either runway end. For Category A aircraft the procedures generally require at least one mile visibility and a minimum ceiling equivalent to the MDA. For the fastest Category E aircraft these approaches require better visibility – sometimes by another mile and higher ceilings. Now a Bonanza or Cirrus capable of flying an 60-knot approach should easily handle the Category A requirements of 1.3 miles; ditto for Category B and C aircraft in most cases – and at lower elevations. Pilots of Category D and E – BusinessLiners as well as some of the Large Cabin and Ultra-LongRange jets – have complained of finding the 2.3-mile and 4.5-mile visibility requirement for a circling approach a bit tight. At 60 knots the standard two-minute turn takes a mere one-third mile radius at a 9.4-degree bank imposing a barely discernible load factor of 1.01G. At the 180 knots approach speed of a BusinessLiner (for example), flying that same two-minute turn takes 0.95 mile visibility at a huge 26-degree bank angle... The pilot can fly a shallower turn with the 2.3-mile visibility required… but there's a catch: these are indicated airspeeds at low elevations and maximum-landing weights. The procedure picks up some complications at higher elevations. First, the indicated airspeed of a circling

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

approach at 5,000, 6,000 and 7,000 feet can mask a significantly higher true airspeed – equal to ground speed in zero wind. But winds are seldom zero at such elevations – and they'll vary through the circling approach just as winds do flying VFR standard-pattern arrivals. That 180-knot indicated approach can actually work out to 230, 240 knots across the ground during part of the circling maneuver. At a three-mile visibility limit the pilot may feel like there's plenty of room to fly that circle – but depending on the winds, having only 2-2.5 miles to stabilize on final and slow down to touchdown speed can be a bit much to work into a 2.3-mile radius. Even for the Category E machines with their 4.5-mile visibility requirements. There's a lot going on in a short period of time and a small space relative to the speed at which events happen. A little extra space can only help.

MORE COMFORT, SPEED & MANEUVER The FAA provided an explanation of the expansion in its announcement of the change while NBAA provided a detailed examination and explanation of the increased radii landing minima for circling approaches and how they work. The protected airspace for a circle-to-land approach is defined by arcs of a specific www.AvBuyer.com

radius based on the aircraft approach Category E defined in FAR Part 97. These multiple arcs center on both thresholds of each runway and connect tangentially along the runway center line to form a continuous block of airspace available to the pilot for maneuvering to align the aircraft with the landing runway. It was both the size criticism and the recognition that elevation influences the ability to use the minima that resulted in the FAA performing the review from which the new terminal instrument procedures (TERPS) criteria resulted. The new standard increases the radii dimensions defining the circling protected airspace, increasing them further as circling MDA increases. The FAA also recognized that winds become a greater factor at higher elevations in increased radii size with higher MDAs, as well as needing to account for the higher true airspeeds flown at higher altitudes. The changed TERPS criterion fall short of harmonizing U.S. Standards with ICAO PANS-OPS. They do, in the view of the pilots consulted for this story, represent a substantial improvement on previous TERPS criteria though.

A TRANSITION BEGINS Don't expect to see a night-and-day transition from the old to the new. The FAA's revised TERPS criterion will factor into all future Aircraft Index see Page 4

flying those circling approaches. “The change may even get my flight department to review its policies on circle-to-land procedures and give us back a useful option,” one corporate jet captain told World Aircraft Sales Magazine. “It's not that it's a dangerous procedure...it’s just counter to what so many flight-department management folk feel comfortable with. This makes me more comfortable; hopefully we can make them more comfortable too – it's a small change that could save us big on some trips.”

Instrument Approach Procedures; they also now apply to thousands of published procedures. And even with 28-day update cycles in play, the process will likely take years to complete. That means years in which circle-toland standards exist from two different sets of TERPS criterion. The folks who made the change at the FAA have already made progress on the change with those who publish the IAPs on which all pilots depend. Those chart providers have implemented the new specifications to identify new-criteria circle-to-land minima based on the new TERPS. Going forward U.S. Terminal Procedures IAP charts will use an "Inverse C" circle icon to signify circling minima based on the new criteria. Jeppesen uses an "Inverse C" diamond icon to identify circle-to-land minima based on the new criteria. The FAA stressed that circling minima not identified with the new "Inverse C" icon remain subject to the older, smaller circling area dimensions. An instructor pilot with a large training company advised, “It's going to be years getting through all of these which puts pilots on the spot to make sure they stick with the old standards where they apply – and not be tempted to fly their circling maneuver as if they have the larger airspace of the new TERPS criteria. It's not legal until it's pubAdvertising Enquiries see Page 8

lished – and until it's published we don't know that the survey checks are done...so pilots would risk flying outside protected airspace.” The FAA stressed that only published approaches with the "Inverse C" in the legend are both safe and legal to fly the larger-radius protected airspace during a circling maneuver. The circling protected airspace provides 300 feet of obstacle clearance at the circling MDA which the FAA will confirm before publishing revised circling minima. There's logic to the increase in protected airspace as elevation increases. For example, Category C aircraft are protected out as far as 2.7 nautical from the runway thresholds – at circling MDAs up to 1,000 feet MSL; the criteria increases protected airspace radii by 0.1 nautical miles for every 2,000-foot increase in MDA. At an MDA of 6,000 msl that protectedairspace radii would be 2.9 nautical. The FAA expects to use the extra maneuvering room to establish a stabilized approach on final prior to landing – while always remaining within the confines of the circling-approach-protected airspace. And that's where the change is most expected to have an impact. Fewer runway overruns occurring due to approaches that never stabilized will be the most-desired outcome. But the changes also give pilots an increased comfort zone for www.AvBuyer.com

Every month the FAA updates some of the thousands of TERPS, sometimes to fix issues like taller trees on final of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach or a shift in the Earth's magnetic lines, which dictate compass headings. Some of those changes enhance the approach and some are brand new – such as recent years' accumulation of more than 3,000 all-new LPV approaches for aircraft equipped with approved WAAS-enhanced GPS navigators. That standard was a rare addition to the TERPS criterion – the standards by which instrument approaches are created. Otherwise, criteria change is a rare event where instrument approaches are concerned. A recent change to the TERPS marks a significant improvement to one of aviation's oldest and most-utilitarian of all instrument approaches: the circling approach or, as some state it, the circle-toland procedure. Aside from demonstrating that FAA not only hears pilots’ problems, but also can act, the changes should improve approach completion for those airports at which the circle-to-land procedure remains a mainstay. Credit the FAA's conclusion that expanded circling-approach airspace can be accommodated without compromising safety. In fact, in the view of many, the change enhances the safety and viability of this procedure and could return it to favor as a viable option for flight departments that long prohibited or restricted the use of the circling approach at night and, curiously, in the sort of weather conditions for which the procedure is designed. It's all about respecting the laws of aerodynamics, physics and nature.

and promoting various benefits primarily to Airlines. Meanwhile the rest of aviation sits and waits for rule-making and mandates (such as ADS-B Out) by 2020. Speaking of rule-making, on June 11, 2013 the FAA announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for a comment period ending in September that essentially will allow zero visibility operations (without the need for natural vision), and an ability to www.AvBuyer.com

land at zero runway visual range without the need for Category III aircraft, crew and runway certification! This profound leap of enablement is all the more incredible when you realize the FAA intends - perhaps for the first time - to provide guidance ahead of the industry’s ability to equip. That’s right, industry does not have the technology at this time to meet the certification challenge. Note: This rulemaking is not an equipAircraft Index see Page 4

EVS_Gil WolinNov06 16/07/2013 10:33 Page 2

For the first time a single country has focused attention on the goal of equipping with EFVS and HUDs to better enable performance and have a competitive edge in the market place. So what are EFVS ops, and why are they a part of FAA NextGen? Why are they being embraced and adopted by ICAO, EASA and CAAC, and what is the equipage? Why has it migrated more across business jets than Airlines? To answer these questions you have to first understand the history and the politics.

ment mandate; it is an operational rule enabling the use of technology. It adds a new EFVS Part 91.176 to the existing flight rules and retains Part 91.175 for existing instrument approaches. This new rule removes the limitation for dispatch and the approach ban for air carriers. Without changes to existing published approaches and their charts, thousands will become as Category II or III to the EFVS certified operator. The landing requires Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

no natural vision. Because the natural visual segment of the approach is now replaced with enhanced electronic vision the aircraft transitions from the instrument portion to continue to land by the use of HUD(s) and enhanced vision. The CAAC in China is creating EFVS ops rules that also enables a more expansive use of China’s various airports and runways (eight by last December). www.AvBuyer.com

In 1929 ILS was first tested. This was followed in 1941 by six test sites introduced into US regions for the use of ILS-equipped aircraft to operate down to 200ft decision height and 2,400ft Runway Visual Range (RVR). Aircraft equipped with Category II avionics and recurrently trained crews may land into specific certified runways with suitable infrastructure. As with the dual onboard aircraft equipage, those runway infrastructures are subject to scheduled maintenance. The category II benefit is a decision to land down to 100ft and RVR down to 1,200ft. Aircraft equipped with Category III avionics and trained crew can land into specific runways with Category III infrastructure. Category III operations are complex with RVR credits ranging between 700 and 0ft and decision altitude credits from 100 to 0ft, depending on whether the aircraft, crew and runway is either Category IIIa, b or c. Traditional Category IIIc operations require Auto-land, and few business jets are equipped (or maintain currency) on Category II through IIIc, due to a number of factors, not least of which is cost. The same cost issues and age of infrastructure has convinced the FAA and others to look for alternatives. The FAA has consistently been nibbling away at existing runway operations to enable improvements without increasing cost to the public. This noble effort focused on commercial runways such as PHL 27R and SFO 28L allowing Special Authorization ❯ WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

EVS A PATH TO SUCCESS (SA) CAT II operations. SA category II to IIIc equipage typically involves one-time changes to airport lighting and aircraft with head-up displays (HUDs). Meanwhile, today there are over 1,200 business jets tooled with equipment capable of modern EFVS ops and few wide-body aircraft outside of FedEx. Many Airlines have been pinning their hopes on Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS). Here enters the politics because ground-based requires individual airport infrastructure to augment the existing GPS navigation system and less individual aircraft equipage to use it… which is desirable to commercial operators with their fleets of wide-body aircraft.

EFVS OPS & WHAT’S REQUIRED TO USE THEM An EFVS operation is an electronic means to meet the standard visual requirements to operate the aircraft in IMC during low visibility conditions, expanding the visual segment with vision technology and allowing the crew to see at the standard published minimums. Below are Tables A & B representing approaches available today. Table A shows the population of existing ILS in the US (worldwide there are at least 300 more, of which around a 100 are at Category III level because of international commercial operations). Table B shows the population of newer approach types in the US (International approaches often have differences in their procedures). EFVS Ops in essence complement most of the preceding by meeting, and essentially extending the visual decision part of the approach whereas traditional Category II and III systems would be required for similar RVR and lower decision altitudes. As the situation exists today there are lots of variables to EFVS Ops based on the actual approach, the operational category of the aircraft and the region of the world you are conducting the flight. In Europe, for example, current decision minimums when EFVS equipped and certified, are 1/3 credit on the published RVR (with EFVS enabling the

HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED?

approach to begin). In the US, there are two distinct types of operations, specifically Part 91 which can begin the approach regardless of the weather, and Part 121 (135 and 91K) which may not begin the approach if the visibility is below published minimums. Under current Part 91 rule, the visual segment at minimums can be met with EFVS, but the crew must see the point of landing at 100ft to continue. The new rule EFVS 91.176 will allow appropriately equipped operators to approach and land with EFVS without the use of natural vision, depending upon the type of equipment and demonstrated performance. EFVS Ops are not just meaningful on the approach. Part 91K, 135 and 121 operators may (via Ops Specs and LOAs) enjoy reduced take off credit from 700 down to 500ft RVR. In the near future they may also gain surface movement advantages as Surface Movement Guidance Control (SMGC) or Low Vision Operations (LVOs) are implemented. One high-level way to view the real benefit of EFVS Ops is extended low-visibility operations into at least 15,000 runways worldwide where straight-in approaches, appropriate lighting and operational approvals exist. For example business jets may decide on landing lower during any of 3,123 LPV approaches whether the approach DH is at, or above 200ft DH (2,317 are above), effectively always being able to reduce the visual segment down to RVR at 100ft DH. VFR runways when operated with EFVS technology and WAAS LPV become qualified instrument runways.

An approach typically has two segments - an instrument and a natural vision segment. For FAA Part 91 operators if the human eye cannot see the required visual cues listed in Part 91.175 at the published decision altitude the approach may not continue. However if the human eye is replaced by an equivalent real time electronic means then ‘Bingo!’, as long as the electronic sensor can ‘see’ at the decision altitude you are okay to continue. The FAA are very careful not to say what the electronic means needs to be as long as it meets the operational requirements demonstrated during extensive flight testing as part of its equipage certification. The FAA calls the aircraft equipage, pilot training and operational approval of Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS). In other words, as long as the following are met, EFVS applies to an operation: • Enhanced Vision System or EVS (currently only cooled infrared cameras); • Head Up Display (HUD) - must be headup and eyes out; • Means of displaying a conformal EVS image on the HUD; • A properly trained crew with approved EFVS flight operations on specific aircraft. This is a one-time effort for Part 91 operators and all equipage is ‘on condition’ - a vast reduction of effort and cost from the former requirements of Category II and III operations. To complicate matters EASA refers to EFVS as just EVS, not differentiating between the vision system and its HUD based ❯

Constant view of flight path and energy state Precise aircraft control Stabilized approaches Improved manual touchdown precision Improved wind shear awareness Tail strike avoidance Recovery from unusual attitudes

EQUIPAGE CLARIFICATION An enhanced vision system currently only uses real time cameras because other means such as synthetic vision (SVS) are not equivalent to the human eye, not real-time and require the use of databases that need regular updates for features such as obstacles. Only head up displays may be used because it is essential on the approach and as the crew descends to land below minimums that situational awareness is at its optimum. Although there have been encouraging NASA-based tests completed, it is not the current opinion of the FAA to allow EFVS Ops with SVS-based sensors. SVS technology is aimed at the instrument segment, while EFVS technology is aimed at expanding the visual segment of the approach. However, as with the Rockwell Collins Fusion HUD, SVS may be displayed on it and used for improved situational awareness. Certainly with lower decision altitude, lower RVR and on the horizon zero/zero operations, the use of HUDs in some form and enhanced vision beyond infrared will be essential. There may be a need for dual HUDs (could be goggles), multi-spectral cameras that see better than today, and addi-

tional sensors based on either active or passive millimeter wave technology currently in its infancy in terms of being ‘aircraft ready’. “A path to success”, in the words of one pilot summed up the reason for equipping his business jet with head up technology. Even today with over 1,200 business jets equipped with low vision head up based systems, few pilots and flight departments fully understand their complexity and usefulness to operations. There needs to be a comfort level in using the expensive technology and that can only come from training. New forms of simulation training, using X-Plane and based on actual HUD-aircraft combination are about to enter the market. These may eventually replace the standard flight simulator and certainly in the nearterm will allow flight familiarization using the operator’s HUD type on the operator’s aircraft type, to fly into any X-Plane approach worldwide - and there are many. For large business jet owners there are several EFVS low-vision equipped new aircraft to choose from, including Gulfstream, Bombardier, Falcon and Embraer (Lineage) aircraft models. There is only one non-OEM aftermarket option to date – Jetcraft’s HUD

NEXTGEN UPDATE

NextGen Marches On Progress continues amid gridlock, despite sequester (at least for now...) by Dave Higdon n route ADS-B services came to ZFW in the latter half of June. That means aircraft equipped to receive this package of free weather and enhanced traffic can use it when within the airspace of Ft. Worth Center, the busy air-traffic hub covering Dallas, Ft. Worth, up to the Oklahoma line, west to near the New Mexico line, south to the Gulf of Mexico, and east to near the Mississippi. At that same time ADS-B services came to 20 terminal facilities covering a broad swath of the

upper Midwest to the eastern Southwest United States. As this hits the FBOs and aircraft cabins a huge number of Defense Department civilian employees will be starting painful furloughs. The aviation community took a hidden hit agreeing to let the FAA use AIP funds to keep open the entire inventory of contract towers and furloughs of ATC employees ended almost before they started. But by dint of some modest, measured legislative success, NextGen progress - and advancing the network of ADSwww.AvBuyer.com

B ground stations - somehow missed a direct hit. The continuation of that progress should bring the nation to full continental coverage of the network of ground stations that provide the backbone for ADS-B. In an update that FAA Administrator Michael Huerta delivered to the RTCA Symposium in early June, the national network of more than 700 ground stations should be on-line and operational in 2014. Meanwhile, with more than 500 ground stations already on-line, ATC services continue to expand with ADS-B Out and In available to Aircraft Index see Page 4

NEXTGEN UPDATE those ready to engage the new precision system for traffic surveillance and separation – with reduced separation standards, greater traffic capacity and reduced delays and fuel use the ultimate outcomes. The most-recent estimate of savings amounts to more than $31 billion (or whatever the value of saving 1.6 billion gallons per year totals). It's welcome progress for a change-over that's struggled to win support – and buy-in – by a large segment of users, from the heights of Business Aviation down to the recreational pilot who wants access to airports in Class C and Class B airspace.

AN ADS-B REFRESHER Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B): This is the technology globally embraced by developed and developing nations as the follow-on to radar-based air-traffic surveillance, separation and management. ATC radar and the transponders we fly with form a partnership, with the radar saturating a circle of airspace; the return signal can bounce of the aircraft and give the radar system a position based on relative bearing and distance – but without altitude information. After a few ‘pings’ the ATC tracking computers can add a speed to the mix. During the time of each radar sweep the aircraft moves unobserved until the next ‘ping’ provides the computer with updated data. In the terminal area the sweeps happen about every 6-10 seconds; en route radar sweeps take far longer. The latency period all these lags build in create accuracy problems in position – which suffers with distance between radar antenna and aircraft. ADS-B, conversely, is active and independent of radar. Instead the transponder squawks sensor-derived data for position, altitude, speed and vertical change – usually more than 100 times a minute. Sensors approved to supply the ADS-B data include a growing list of airborne GPS navigators capable of receiving signals from the WideArea Augmentation System (WAAS). These provide a correction to the GPS' position calculation to accuracy levels of a few meters – tight enough to exceed the gold-standard guidance system for landing in instrument meteorological conditions: the Instrument Landing System (ILS). Position accuracy en-route is equally high with WAAS. The WAAS GPS generates its position data almost twice per second, which is then broadcast for use of other ADS-B In

aircraft and all those NextGen ADS-B ground stations. The ground stations provide the two-way link between airborne aircraft and air-traffic displays in Center and Terminal facilities. ADS-B products broadcast by these stations includes ADS-B and radar-based traffic; satellite-like datalink weather; and all its components.

The FAA's free weather package comes under the title Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B). This package provides cockpit-display equipped flight crew with a display of aviation weather and aeronautical information via Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) equipment on 978 MHz. Now this limits use to aircraft equipped with a receiver for the 978 MHz – even those that use 1090ES avionics to satisfy the ADS-B Out Mandate looming in 2020. FIS-B provides the following advisory weather products:

NEXTGEN UPDATE ADS-B IN ACTION

A DECK FULL OF JOKERS The dysfunction in Congress makes each new fiscal year a wild-card for funding stability, and funding stability stands as the biggest challenge to NextGen implementation, on time and on-budget. “It would be easier to carry out our goals with a clear, long-term fiscal solution,” Huerta told the RTCA Symposium. “Sequester continuing resolutions year-after-year make it a little more challenging for the continuity of NextGen programs.” Any delays or reduction in the pace of progress could undermine a slowly growing acceptance of NextGen at a time the underpinning technology – specifically ADS-B Out and In hardware – is just beginning to make market inroads. Increasing equipment availability and the FAA's own growing level of experience in using ADS-B only serve to add to the momentum. With lobbying intense from both Business and Commercial Aviation users, it's possible to envision Congress recognizing the importance of the continuing investment and working to sustain the funding needed to in turn sustain progress.

COMING SOON? GBAS You're to be forgiven if you don't instantly recognize the acronym “GBAS” – but you’ll remember its original moniker: Local-Area Augmentation System (LAAS). Back in the era Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

With lobbying intense from both Business and Commercial Aviation users, it's possible to envision Congress recognizing the importance of the continuing investment and working to sustain the funding needed to in turn sustain progress. before WAAS started fulfilling the promise of satellite precision-approach capabilities, LAAS was showing it could bring equally precise guidance across a smaller footprint – anywhere within about 23 nautical miles of the LAAS transmitter. While WAAS got all the glory of recent years – and helped spawn more than 3,000 new www.AvBuyer.com

precision approaches without ground supporting equipment – LAAS development quietly continued. The FAA is moving closer to fuller implementation which will bring to ground-vehicle tracking and guidance the precision needed to mix with aircraft in the aircraft-operations area (AOA), in the worst of weather. According to the FAA, Honeywell's SLS4000 LAAS system has received System Design Approval for Category I Precision Approach operations from the FAA. Several manufactures (among them Rockwell Collins and Honeywell) have approved Category I avionics equipment flying, and GBAS is standard or optionally available on a wide array of transports (Boeing 737-NG, 747-8, 787; Airbus A320, A330/340 and A380). The FAA has already approved GBAS for full operations at two U.S. Airports - Newark Liberty International Airport and Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport - and in Germany GBAS has been approved for operations at Bremen Airport. Additional international airports are expected to receive full operational approval through the next year. Three international carriers are flying with approval to use GBAS, including United Airlines, Qantas and Air Berlin in Germany. Those numbers should grow beyond the initial Airlines and airports, with Business Aviation operators keeping an eye on the development as another tool for improving completion rates.

That’s all well and good, but presumably at some time in the future you’re going to be trying to sell it. So what are the pitfalls? Is bland and neutral the only way forward? More difficult still is reading the trends and predicting the materials and colors that will be popular in between two to five years’ time. To get an insight into some of the pitfalls, and the positive action that owners and principals can take, World Aircraft Sales Magazine consulted three well-known completion management companies, teasing out

proofing. So we advise them on what’s applicable for their aircraft.” Another factor to take on board at the planning stage, he explained, is whether preferred fabrics and carpets might be discontinued making it more difficult to repair or replace them. Daugherty says automotive design is strongly in vogue at the moment with owners wanting to echo the interior of - say their favorite Mercedes. With the interior trim of the aircraft, woodwork is probably one of the most costly things to change. “We’re doing more two-tone leathers, which in the past was rare. A lighter beige, a darker brown trim, or a change in the stitching color makes it stand out more and is

In addition to aircraft sales, US-based Elliott Aviation specializes in business aircraft maintenance, accessories, avionics, cabin interior design, completions and refurbishments on mainly pre-owned aircraft up to Dassault Falcon/Bombardier Challenger size. Because of its maintenance expertise and the fact that it holds many Avionics and IFE STCs it’s also involved in pre-buy aircraft inspections.

Joe Daugherty, Paint and Interior Sales Director based at Moline, Quad City Airport, Illinois says the first question he asks owners is whether they plan to hold onto the aircraft for a few years or whether they bought it to sell on. “It also depends on how the aircraft will be used, the typical number of passengers and whether younger family members will use it much. The interior design and paint design choice gets very personal with the owner or principal, so we try to get a feel for that right off the bat. “Sometimes it’s a materials durability problem, or the client wants a particularly favored material which has not been certificated through the fire block test or flame

more than one aircraft and they’ve experienced a level of connectivity in their larger aircraft so now want it fitted in their smaller one.” (Phone and interconnectivity fitted by Elliott Aviation ranges from King Airs through Citations, Learjets, Hawker 800XP and 900XP, to Challengers and Falcon 900s.) Modern connectivity is a factor when an aircraft may be put out to charter - as is having iPad, iPod and iPhone or Android compatibility onboard. “There is a lot more ‘hot stuff’ coming from Honeywell and Rockwell Collins which can control the cabin entertainment system from iPads, iPhones and such,” explained Daugherty. “People want to bring their own media onboard and use it. We put in auxiliary ports so that they can do that. Some want to operate power point presentations from flash drives which is now possible through a USB link. Others have their family vacation pictures on flash drives so they can hook them into the cabin entertainment system.” HD TV is becoming more common, but, warns Daugherty, to get true HD the cabin

EXECUJET Unlike Elliott Aviation which offers design-tocompletion at its own facility, there are other companies out there that specialize in watching over the whole completions management process through a third party completions specialist for the owner or principal of the aircraft. Roman Aerne is Head of Completions for Zurich-based ExecuJet with most of his team UK-based. Aerne says that in his experience having the most up-to-date entertainment systems onboard is one of the most important re-sale factors. “In addition, working with unique or big-name designers, such as BMW, Porsche and Hermès, also makes the aircraft attractive to prospective buyers.”

similar to an automotive setting. For a while everyone was going with sculptured leathers and smooth window lines but now we’re starting to see a little more texture on board. There’s a fine line between getting something that’s durable and cleanable to making an almost sanitized finish.” Trends over the past few years seem to be going with lighter overheads with darker woods giving a brighter and warmer feeling. Daugherty warns, however, that even though it’s a lot of fun personalizing your aircraft when it comes to resale the danger is that it might only attract very few buyers. He also emphasized, “Aircraft downtime plays a large part in customer’s decisions. How long can they be without a specific aircraft while it undergoes refurbishment, and at times this is more important than the price. We have to contend with this on almost every project.” So what are the really good selling factors to have onboard an aircraft for resale? On a complete refurb one of the major factors is having LED lighting fitted, according to Daugherty, for its dependability, lifetime consistency and far fewer maintenance issues. “I see a lot more ‘aircraft for sale’ ads now underlining that they’re fitted with LED lighting. It’s always going to be a selling factor down the road.” The second thing is communications and accessibility of the internet – everyone wants to be connected. “We do advise that the second part of the cost, even though equipment is already installed, is the cost of the subscription for using it. We give the best options whether they want world-wide or a US connectivity fit, while also warning that some of the older phone systems might not be supported now. Older systems are being phasedout so we always try to make sure they have an up-to-date phone system that is going to be maintained, and that the customer has accessibility to service providers. “We get requests from people who have

needs to be re-wired and source equipment fitted. HD is becoming more of an expectation now so it’s probably worth getting the HD wiring done during a refurb as it is becoming a good re-sale factor. Most of Elliotts’ customers are US- or South America-based. “We do get some interest from the European market because of some of our niche specialties and packages, and we are starting to see more Russian market activity whether they be Bermuda-registered or from further afield. I would say that being able to tell which region of the world an aircraft comes from by walking through it gets more difficult, however. Interiors are now more determined by the aircraft’s use, whether it be private or corporate.” Final advice from Daugherty not to invest more money in an aircraft than its top-end resale value. The advice might sound obvious, but Daugherty says, “Sometimes we’ll give customers a value proposition and with aircraft sales being part of Elliott Aviation, access to that type of information is available to our customers to make sure that they’re not over- or under-doing it.” ❯ More information: www.elliottaviation.com

When asked if it is difficult to furnish an aircraft that has a global re-sale appeal, he offered, “Finding designs that appeal to more than one individual is already a challenge, so expanding that brief to more than one geographical region makes it even more difficult. For example, in the Middle East, customers prefer more extravagant designs with lots of textiles and patterns, whereas in the US clients prefer much bigger, more luxurious seats and furnishings. In Europe, meanwhile, customers go for a more minimalistic style.” ExecuJet is busy with its completions management and consulting services. “Over the last five years we have had steady business in completions and refurbishment. It is not the main focus of ExecuJet’s service offering, but we do have a good reputation in the industry and boast a high customer retention rate,” Aerne explained. In the last 12 months Aerne’s department, which mainly manages new aircraft projects, has supervised two Falcon 7X aircraft and a Falcon 2000 completion. Currently it is working on refurbishing a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). “Completions management is a very time-consuming process and most projects run over a six-month period,” he said. “Europe remains our busiest region. Russia is another major focus for us, and we see China becoming a key market for completions over the next one to two years.” Aerne says that his side of the company handles around 80% new aircraft and 20% pre-owned projects. “We find customers are more willing to invest in new aircraft than refurbishing pre-owned models.” The largest aircraft completion so far has been a Global Express but the BBJ currently being worked on is the company’s largest refurbishment project to date.

“Completions management is still a rather unknown service within the industry,” Aerne points out. “There are many companies offering it, but not many people understand the benefits of hiring a company like ours. “When ExecuJet works on a project it is impartial and offers a balanced service to the client. The client is our only priority – that is how we get the best results which lead to a lot of repeat business. For example, we have just completed a factory-new Falcon 7X and the customer has already hired us again to complete a new Falcon 2000 he has bought.” ❯ More information: www.execujet.net

ed in Teterboro Airport while Freestream also has offices in London, UK; Teterboro; Beijing; and Bermuda. “We have a team for each project - it is never just one person,” Mespelt emphasizes. She says that Freestream never makes resale its primary focus, even though part of its business is with pre-owned aircraft. “If you have a timeless design you are not going to have a re-sale issue,” she explains. “On a new or refurbished aircraft we seek to install the most up-to-date systems that will be compatible with upgrades that might come in over the next two to five years.” She admits that it is difficult to have access to items ahead of the aircraft’s time to certification, but tries to install systems that will be compatible with upcoming items in the news. “This is so that upgrading is an easy option when these new items are available.” Mespelt says that a timeless seat style, classic veneers and an upgraded cabin management system are musts for making re-sale easier, and asked if it is difficult to furnish an aircraft that has global re-sale appeal she adds, “We would consider our designs global as we present options to the client with design principles that are of global appeal. We do not try to regionalize our designs as we think a truly timeless design can, and should appeal to all regions.” Freestream draws its clients from the US, Asia and Europe/ Russia at the moment and is extremely busy. Over the next year Freestream will complete four G650s and three BBJs. “We of course have projects following that,” Mespelt says. A very recent new completion project of a BBJ2 saw Marc Newson commissioned as the designer. “It’s the only aircraft in existence with this design,” Mespelt revealed. This aircraft was completed by Lufthansa Technik but Mespelt says Freestream uses various completion centers around the world. ❯ More information: www.freestreamaircraft.com Aircraft Index see Page 4

nearly every aspect of the aircraft, but particularly the interior. As with the housing market, aircraft markets fluctuate, depending on a number of factors. We’re currently in a buyer’s market in the business jet industry. Bob McCammon, an Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions expert with Duncan Aviation, observed that just a few years ago the trend for business jet buyers was to completely refurbish the interior so it reflected their personal tastes. “Not so, today,” he says. “Business jet buyers are like current home buyers who want a house that is move-in ready.” Aircraft Index see Page 4

veryone knows that owning an aircraft is an investment. In addition to increasing an owner’s productivity and privacy, owners often invest heavily in their aircraft aesthetics and functionality with custom configurations, stateof-the-art cockpits, personalized interior décor and artist-rendered exterior paint.

THIS DUNCAN-REFURBISHED FALCON 900 DEPICTS A SEAT DESIGN MAKING USE OF BRIGHTER COLORS FOR ACCENTS IN THIS CASE, TEAL AND APPLE GREEN THROW PILLOWS.

NEUTRAL COLORS & UPDATED MATERIALS When you’re selling your aircraft and looking for the greatest return on your investment, look at your interior with a critical eye. Mary Lee, a senior aircraft interior designer with Duncan Aviation, says that at the very least, the overall look of your interior must be up to date, especially if it’s more than six years old. An interior with a busy, patterned carpet in bold colors, older seats with dulled leather and light-colored veneers will detract from the return on investment because that interior won’t enjoy broad appeal on the open market. If the color schemes are neutral and the seats relatively new, a thorough cleaning is a necessary bare-minimum investment before attempting to sell the aircraft. Remove spots and stains from the carpet and re-dye the leather for the seats, Lee elaborates. Fix any loose armrests, and make sure all backrests lock fully upright without wobbling. The goal is to make the interior as attractive as possible to potential buyers. If upgrading the entire interior is not an option, consider replacing a few items, such as the lower sidewall finish, or the fabric covering on the divan with a neutral color and a conservative texture or pattern for a clean, new appearance. Replace any throw pillows that show wear or are in colors or patterns that are out of date. Reupholster the worn, dulled seats to perk up a neutral-colored cabin. Currently popular pearlized leather with its slight sheen brings a contemporary finish to older seats. Matt Spain, a Senior Completions and Modifications Sales Rep with Duncan outlines, “When you’re refurbishing a seat and upgrading the upholstery, remember to replace the foam. If the leather is worn, the foam is worn and deteriorating, too. If you sit in the same seat all of the time, you’ll notice a depression where the foam has worn down—just like in your easy chair at home.” A potential buyer may see worn-out seats with new upholstery as a superficial upgrade and wonder what other short cuts the seller has taken. Spain offers, “Remaining within the regulations for the seat’s type certificate, you can change out the foam to different densities to firm the seats and make them far more attractive to a potential buyer.”

see worn-out seats with new upholstery as a superficial upgrade and wonder what other short cuts the seller has taken.” of date when it’s older than six years,” Lee reveals. “At that point, owners who are looking to retain or enhance the value of their aircraft should consider updating the interior. Updating the cabin with new or re-upholstered seats, new side panels, and a headliner that features today’s clean, neutral colors and conservative textures and patterns will appeal to a broad range of buyers.” Popular color schemes used for aircraft interiors change, just as they do for home interiors. Neutral colors (beige/offwhite/gray) are always prudent color choices, but accent colors change with time. “As an example, for years, a cool blue-gray was the predominant neutral color used in aviation interiors,” reflects Lee. “Today, the color palate has shifted to the warmer-end of the gray spectrum.” www.AvBuyer.com

Potential sellers can update the color scheme without touching the configuration. “Although the dominant colors feature neutrals, we are seeing brighter colors for accents. We’ve seen throw pillows in bright, bold colors, patterns and textures: oranges, teal blue and apple greens; stripes and chevrons,” adds Lee. “Colors are definitely moving away from shades of blue and mauve.” She also believes the influence of the auto industry has affected the colors requested for use on seats in business aircraft. Two-tone color contrasts, featuring color tones like cognac, are popular on new seats. The seat covers are typically still in the lighter, more neutral tones, but buyers are asking for darker-colored leather for inserts or armrests, contrasting stitching or cording to bring visual interest. Veneer is a big-ticket item, but as with everything else, styles come and go. The light-colored, cross-grain veneers with burls that had been popular in the past decade or more are now considered quite dated. The European influence with its emphasis on simple lines, darker colors and straight grains are what current interiors are trending toward, Lee adds. Business jet buyers are also moving toward greener, more eco-friendly materials, and vendors are complying by providing veneers in composite or reconstituted materials. Many of the wood species used in the older veneers are difficult to find now, and buyers are asking for materials that prevent further damage to forests that are home to exotic, endangered wood species. “Other more eco-friendly materials being used for cabinetry in the place of previously used exotic veneers are painted finishes and an array of metal laminates,” Lee adds.

Nothing shows the aircraft you’re attempting to sell to its greatest advantage like a new interior. Updating the seats, carpet, veneers, table tops and galley counters, sidewalls, panels, headliner and lighting will greatly appeal to buyers who are in the market for a turn-key aircraft. “Typically, interior décor is considered out

DUNCAN AVIATION INSTALLED ITS CUSTOM PASSENGER SERVICE UNIT (PSU) IN THIS FALCON 2000. DESIGNED TO ADD VALUE, IT ALSO UPDATES THE LOOK AND FUNCTIONALITY OF OLDER AIRCRAFT WITH A MORE CONTEMPORARY FEEL.

“Although neutralcolored carpet is still the most popular floor covering in cabins, the granite counter-tops and stone floors used in contemporary homes are making a transition to business aircraft.” Although neutral-colored carpet is still the most popular floor covering in cabins, the granite counter-tops and stone floors used in contemporary homes are making a transition to business aircraft. Lee says, “We’re getting more requests than ever for natural stone floors in the galley or entry as an alternative to carpet.” The stone is mounted over a substrate of aluminum, which keeps the material light so it won’t adversely affect the overall weight of the aircraft. In addition to the flooring, make sure the appliances in the galley are clean and current. “Buyers are increasingly looking for microwaves and coffee-makers that are roughly the same size and have similar functionality to those in their home kitchens,” says Spain. “Although you can’t just go to a big-box store, buy kitchen appliances and carry them onto your aircraft, you can make your aircraft more attractive to potential buyers by updating the appliances in the galley.” And as with home décor, nothing affects the interior ambiance like lighting. Today’s LED bulbs are effective, cost-efficient sources of light for aircraft. LEDs provide directional lighting, meaning the light is focused in a single direction, making a strong beam, as opposed to incandescent and fluorescent bulbs that emit light and heat in every direction which causes the light to lose

106

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

some of its strength. LEDs contain a heat sink, so the energy used is concentrated on producing light rather than heat. As a consequence, LEDs enjoy a far longer lifespan than other bulbs. Incandescent bulbs, for instance, lose more than 90% of their energy to heat production. There’s also a weight savings with LED lights—not only do the lights themselves weigh less than fluorescent tubes, the power supply for LED lights also weighs less than that necessary for fluorescent lights.

CONFIGURATION “Before someone buys an aircraft,” says Spain, “he or she has a configuration in mind—the number of seats and how they’re situated. We’re seeing a lot of buyers looking for Falcon 2000s with 10 seats. Standard factory configuration has either 8 or 10 seats, but the 10-seat configurations are in demand right now. We tell our customers, though, not to rule out an otherwise perfect aircraft if seat configuration is the only issue. They can be reconfigured to add two more seats.” [Unique to Duncan Aviation’s completion center is its custom, one-piece Passenger Service Unit (PSU) panel, which is an overlay panel for Falcon 2000 and 900 models. The design not only adds value, but updates the look and functionality of an older aircraft, giving it a newer, more contemporary design.] www.AvBuyer.com

CABIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM An up-to-date cabin management system (CMS) will greatly enhance the value of an aircraft. The CMS controls all the electrical items in the cabin such as the reading and table lights, overhead lights, electric divans, electric shades, temperature and entertainment systems in an aircraft. Today’s business jet owners, and often their families, want the same functionality on their aircraft that they enjoy in their connected offices and homes. “It’s especially important to consider CMS upgrades during a major event,” advises Steve Elofson, Senior Avionics/Installation Sales Rep with Duncan Aviation. The system may soon be obsolete if it has certain types of analog switches (push-button type controls, which are typically embedded in the cabin side ledges). Replacement parts to repair switching of some analog systems are becoming more difficult to find. Upgrading to newer, digital controls that integrate software-based switching into a touch-screen panel that controls the entire CMS will positively affect the value of the aircraft. “For instance,” Elofson says, “most Gulfstream aircraft built between the late 1980s and early 2000s have Pacific Systems switches. Pacific Systems changed hands numerous times over the last decade and now Rockwell Collins is responsible for the continued support of this product line. Rockwell is doing its best, however there are Aircraft Index see Page 4

Plane Sense 2 Aug_FinanceNov 16/07/2013 16:31 Page 4

simply no parts available to repair or change functionality in most cases. Quite often, the only option is to replace the system - and a potential buyer will not look favorably upon an aircraft outfitted with obsolete and nonsupported switches.” Conversely, an upgraded cabin switching system definitely enhances the return on investment. “When customers schedule for other major events such as significant airframe inspections or interior work and we see that the aircraft is equipped with analogbased switching, we suggest that they consider upgrading to the new state-of-the-art and fully supported CMS systems available today,” Elofson adds. The demand for a connected aircraft today is high. Because smartphones, laptops and tablets are so ubiquitous, business travelers want to have this same functionality on their aircraft. In fact, iPads are quite popular additions to cabins. All of the functionality of the mounted touch-screen controls is available on an iPad through an application. iPad-based cabin control has become very popular due to the larger screen space, ease of use and portability.

CONNECTIVITY “In the last five years,” explains Elofson, “smartphones, with their intuitive operation, have carried over into the cabin. Even people who don’t want to use a computer or laptop Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

are familiar with smartphones, and they want that level of control and ease of operation to be available on the devices in their cabins too. Potential buyers definitely want the same level of entertainment and internet capability on their aircraft that they enjoy in their offices and homes, which makes Wi-Fi connectivity a must. “Lack of internet connectivity negatively affects the resale value of an aircraft…We always encourage owners and sellers to consider the upgrade if needed. A system can generally be installed in two weeks, and sellers will enjoy a great return on their investment.” Internet connectivity doesn’t always support phone calls from airborne aircraft though an internet connection. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), the data standard for internet voice calls, uses a lot of bandwidth, which is not consistently available during flight. Look for this ability to become more available over time as systems evolve, becoming more efficient and as bandwidth increases.

ENTERTAIN US! DVD players and Satellite TV are still considered favorable values for resale, but they’re no longer considered must-have items, nor are they as popular as they once were. These older systems don’t support high-definition, and that’s what’s popular and in demand now. For truly state-of-the-art entertainment, www.AvBuyer.com

look into an Audio Video On-Demand (AVOD) server, such as Rockwell Collins’ Skybox. These AVODs let business jet passengers enjoy music and movies stored on-board the aircraft or streamed from iPads, iPods and smartphones to the on-board high-definition TV. New CMS systems with this level of capability are big-ticket items that are currently quite popular. You’ll see a substantial return on your investment when this state-of-the art technology is integrated into the aircraft.

TURN TIME Ultimately, as you prepare to sell your aircraft you will carefully and critically need to assess the interior, making sure it contains all of today’s contemporary colors and conveniences. McCammon concludes, “Business jet buyers don’t want to wait while the interior is refurbished; they want to buy an aircraft with an interior that’s clean, classy and up-todate.” Katie Dolan is a communication specialist at Duncan Aviation and has been with the company for five years.

Plane Sense on Refurbishments

Airworthy Aware: Aircraft refurbishments need plenty of ‘ICA’ by Steve Watkins

egretfully, the ICA acronym that I am referring to is not an “I Can Attitude”. ICA stands for Instructions for Continued Airworthiness and provides documentation of recommended methods, inspections, processes and procedures to keep products airworthy. The ICA must contain information on each item or part, as appropriate, installed on the product and can represent a whole lot of repeated inspections, life limit, overhaul and functional testing. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) creates the inspection program, Chapters 4 and 5, for a new aircraft’s Maintenance Manual. This Maintenance Manual is based on the commonly referred-to ‘Green’ aircraft. This reference’s origin comes from the color of the delivery primer paint and bare minimum equipment that is installed at this point. This Green condition is typical of larger turbine aircraft when delivered from the manufacturing plant to a completion center, where all of the pilot toys are installed into the cockpit, and the luxury interior and accessories are added to the cabin. Each component or system that is added requires an ICA to assure future reliability and

108

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – August 2013

safety. Each ICA goes through a series of reviews and approvals by the appropriate Regulating Authority and is then incorporated into the Maintenance Program for that particular aircraft being delivered and is approved, as long as no changes are made to any systems or components. The challenge is, these additional ICA requirements are not in the OEM Maintenance Manual, but buried in additional inspection requirement paperwork. This is where the ATA Chapter Codes and a maintenance tracking system explode from a few required items with a Green aircraft to a multitude of additional items from all the ICAs. During the life of the aircraft, minor changes to avionics components and interior systems are made, and each of those should include some kind of an ICA inspection, functional check, or replacement. These are all added to the inspection program and hopefully those ICAs from the removed equipment are deleted from the inspection program. If the ICA for a removed item is not deleted, then you could have an aircraft inspection program that requires more maintenance dollars spent on a mechanic looking for a component, or attempting to perform redundant www.AvBuyer.com

functional checks on a piece of equipment that is no longer in the aircraft. Refurbishments of an aircraft should include not only new avionics, interior and exterior colors, and new creature comfort items, but a full review and correction of the ICAs that are contained in the inspection program. The completion of this review and appropriate corrections will have a major impact on future maintenance costs by eliminating obsolete inspections and functional checks, but also by combining the old systems with the new ones and redesigning a combined ICA, rather than just adding another one to the package. Let me share just one of the many ICA problems that I have run into while performing my duties at JSSI as an Airframe Technical Advisor: Life Raft inspections and overhaul requirements are required at specific intervals. These vary between manufacturer and model of raft. If an old ICA is not revised or removed when a life raft is replaced with a different make or model, you will be performing the required maintenance either too soon, which will be costly, or too late, which will result in an un-airworthy condition. The ironic part about the rafts not being Aircraft Index see Page 4

Plane Sense 3 August_FinanceNov 17/07/2013 12:03 Page 2

“. . . but do you really want to rely on luck to drive your aircraft maintenance expenses?” inspected properly is that the requirements are on a placard attached on the outside of the raft and are easy to locate. But it is not uncommon to have your aircraft in the shop with a job card to remove the raft and perform an inspection before it is due. The maintenance technician complies with the job card instructions, wondering why the placard on the raft shows that it is not due yet but his job is to perform the maintenance as directed. The maintenance facility will rarely perform the required inspection in-house, so they comply with the maintenance job card and create a Purchase Order for the outside shop to have the inspection/overhaul performed, as stated in the ICA that is still listed in the inspection program. You can see where this is going… The raft arrives at the vendor that performs Life Raft Inspections/Overhauls even though the placAdvertising Enquiries see Page 8

ard on the raft clearly states that the raft is not due for any work, but the Purchase Order is for the inspection/overhaul. Sometimes you will get lucky and a responsible technician will inform you that the raft is really not due for any maintenance, but do you really want to rely on luck to drive your aircraft maintenance expenses? After $3,000 for the raft inspection and hundreds of dollars in shipping for maintenance that was not due, the raft is returned, the job card is signed-off and the aircraft is returned to service. Now the question is: Was the ICA changed in the system to reflect the actual maintenance interval, or does this just occur all over again? All of this happens because someone did not notice or take the time to review the ICA for the component that is installed, and make a minor correction to the paperwork and tracking system. An even worse scenario than the costly mistake described above would be that an FAA Inspector meets you on the ramp, climbs into the cabin, has your crew pull out the life raft and there on a placard on the outside of the raft is a statement that reveals its inspection/overhaul was due six months ago. The time and money spent on replying to aviation www.AvBuyer.com

authorities’ questions, hiring lawyers and the possible impact on charter certificates, pilot and mechanics certificates and even the possible revocation of certificates, is all very daunting when it could have been prevented with just a little extra research and a paperwork correction. When you look at all of the items that have ICAs on your aircraft, you really need to have the “I CAN ATTITUDE” of taking the time and effort to add ICAs to your list of items to update and review during an aircraft refurbishment.

First Time Buyers

viation aircraft buyers fall into one of the following three market segments: a) First-time buyers; b) Replacement (Move-up, Same, Move-down); or c) Fleet growth. The First-Time Buyer’s market segment will be the main focus of this JETNET >>KNOW MORE article. New business jet sales are driven by strong economic activity, corporate profitability, wealth creation, and business investment. It is important to understand that business jet markets tend to be bifurcated between new aircraft purchasers and pre-owned buyers. Historically, there has been a one-year lag in the recovery of new business jet deliveries versus pre-owned sale transactions. New and pre-owned worldwide business jet delivery cycles have certainly followed different trends during this recent downturn as illustrated in Chart A (top right). A good first predictor: New aircraft orders are based on the successful sale of existing aircraft in the pre-owned market. A buyer who wants to purchase a new aircraft usually needs to sell their existing one first. The economic melt-down in 2008 created historic levels of ‘for-sale’ business aircraft inventories at significantly lower prices. Have these changing market conditions been a stimulus for the first-time buyer to enter the Business Aviation market? How many firsttime buyers are there? These are just two of the questions we will seek to answer in this edition of JETNET >>KNOW MORE. Across the proceeding paragraphs and tables, we will consider the following specifics regarding the first-time buyer: • First-time buyers and the new or pre-owned aircraft decision • First-time buyer demographics • Aircraft age and the first-time ❯ buyer purchase.

JETNET >>KNOW MORE NUMBER OF FIRST-TIME BUYERS First-time buyers of Business Jets and Business Turboprops have shown remarkable growth from 2000 to 2012. The data reported by JETNET is shown in Chart B (previous page). In the year 2000, business jets and business turboprops purchased by first-time buyers were at the same level (100 each) and did not really start to separate until 2005. Since that time, first-time buyers of business jets started growing much quicker than those of turboprops, and reached slightly over 1,000 in 2012. First-time buyers of business turboprops did not keep pace with business jets. In fact this market showed decreases in 2009 and then grew to 570 in 2012 - slightly more than half of the business jet numbers recorded (1,003) in 2012. Table A (top right) shows that in 2012, the majority (over 80%) of first-time buyers purchased pre-owned business jets and business turboprops.

JETNET >>KNOW MORE US GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT While not reported in this article, toward the end of July the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is scheduled to report the first estimate of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2Q 2013. During June the BEA reported 1Q 2013 US GDP results at 1.8%. We are hopeful that 2Q 2013 results are much improved over 1Q results. As has been reported in previous articles, a 3.0% or greater level of GDP growth is the percentage level of economic growth at which Business Aviation has shown strong activity historically.

NEW BUSINESS JET DELIVERIES (BY QUARTER) Tables C and D (Bottom left) show the past five years of New Aircraft deliveries for the first and second quarters. As noted, the second quarter of each year has shown higher deliveries than the first. Thus our expectations are that the second quarter of 2013 will show stronger results too. We will know for certain shortly after this article is published, in early August.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

Two specific points stemming from Tables C and D are: 1. Which OEM will lead the second quarter deliveries? 2. Expect further reduction of Hawker Beechcraft business jet deliveries.

SUMMARY It is very good news to learn that first-time buyers continue to grow in the Business Aviation marketplace. Admittedly, additional research of first-time buyers could be undertaken to provide insights into passengers wishing to stop flying commercial Airliners as a result of crowded aircraft, poor service and more direct non-stop travel to non-Airline hub airports in favor of purchasing their first business aircraft. The year 2013 is only half way through, and most of the economic recovery signs are encouraging. A strong second quarter result should set the stage as to how 2013 will fare. We will continue to monitor this slow, but steady Business Aviation recovery and hope it continues, even after the summer days of 2013 become history.

MarketIndicators Aug13_Layout 1 16/07/2013 09:47 Page 1

Market Indicators ASSET INSIGHT View Technical Condition – Aircraft Listed “For Sale”: An evaluation of 65 models and 1,384 used aircraft listed “for sale”, conducted on May 30, 2013, revealed on-going decline in the Maintenance Condition (ATC Score) of these assets, compared to a survey one month earlier. While the overall decrease was slight, the Asset Insight Index (“AI2”) for in-service aircraft reached a new low point in Technical Condition (ATC Score) for 2013, falling 302 AI2 basis points from January’s peak to 5.045. Average Financial Condition (ATFC Score) remained virtually flat, increasing just over three AI2 basis points to 4.769, while the average aircraft’s maintenance Financial Exposure (ATFE Value) increased by more than $233k to over $1.63 Mil (see Chart A). Technical Condition and Ask Price: Dividing the aircraft’s ATFE Value by its Ask Price allows us to plot the ratio of maintenance Financial Exposure compared to aircraft Ask Price (see Chart B). The spread in ratios has been tightening since February, with May’s figures ranging from 4.1% (Falcon 2000LX) to 239.1% (Gulfstream GIII). The weighted average for aircraft we evaluated equated to 41.9%, representing the lowest figure this year and a significant drop from the 50.9% peak achieved in March. Chart C breaks down the monthly Average ATFE Value vs. Ask Price Ratio figures by aircraft grouping (Large; Medium; Small Jets; Turboprops). With the ratio of ATFE Value to Ask Price dropping, one is tempted to conclude that inservice aircraft maintenance condition is improving – but that is not the case. Since maintenance Financial Exposure increased in May, the ATFE Value vs. Price Ratio could only

decrease by virtue of an Ask Price increase during the same period. Viewed graphically, the blue line on Chart D represents Ask Prices for the aircraft models we track, plotted against the Average Financial Exposure Value vs. Ask Price Ratio line shown on Chart C. Market Outlook: By virtue of their maintenance condition, many aircraft are reaching the end of their economic life. They might be perfectly good flying machines and still useful to their current operators. However, owners of assets whose maintenance exposure (ATFE Value) exceeds (in some cases substantially) the aircraft’s Ask Price will find it difficult to locate a new home for their asset – other than an entity seeking to remarket the asset in the form of spare parts. Even then, many owners may not realize much in the way of residual value, as operating units of their aircraft make/model decrease, thereby reducing demand for spares.

WINGX View WINGX’s latest monthly Business Aviation Monitor, shows that there were 69,000 flight departures in June 2013 - a 9% increase on the previous month. Of these, 35,520 were charter flights, equating to a 10% increase on May. Overall however, compared to June 2012, Business Aviation activity was down 4%. All major Western and Southern European

markets lost activity YOY. The only YOY gainers were the Low Countries and Baltics (gaining private flights) and Greece (gaining charter flights). Even Europe's erstwhile growth star, Ukraine, lost activity YOY. But for Ukraine and even more Poland, this decline largely reflects the anniversary of the European football championships held in 2012.

Whilst domestic European flights diminished YOY, international trips increased, reflecting the 20% YOY increase in the use of Ultra-Long-Range aircraft. Mostly, demand for light aircraft fell YOY, but the VLJ segment is an exception and now appears to be back on a growth path. / More from www.wingx-advance.com

JETNET View MARKET SUMMARY Highlighted in Table A are key worldwide trends across all aircraft market segments, comparing May 2013 to May 2012. “Fleet for Sale” percentages for business jet and business turboprop market sectors were down in the May comparisons, but increased slightly in the helicopter markets. Business jets are showing a slow start in the five months of 2013 with a -7.0% decrease in pre-owned sale transactions, and are taking more time to sell (62 days) than last year, with a +8.6% increase in average asking price. This is the first time this year that there has been an increase in the YTD average asking price. Business turboprops decreased -3.9% in sale transactions, with a double-digit increase in asking price of +13.4%. Both turbine and piston helicopters saw double-digit declines in sale transactions YTD at -22.9% and -26.1%, respectively. Turbine helicopters recorded a double-digit decrease in average asking price, at -32.2% in the YTD comparisons through May 2013. Commercial Airliners are also reported by JETNET, and include the numbers for sale for both commercial jets (including Airliners converted to VIP) and commercial turboprops. It is noteworthy that the number of YTD preowned sale transactions for commercial Airliners (at 890) is slightly ahead of business jets (882). However, commercial turboprop YTD sale transactions are significantly lower at 238.

Gulfstream II and III. Currently, the only hushkits available for Stage 2 civil jet airplanes (according to the FAA) weighing <75,000 pounds are for the Gulfstream II and Gulfstream III. Stage 3 hushkits are currently available for the Gulfstream II/III models, from both Hubbard Aviation Technologies (www.hubavtech.com) at a >$1 million, and Quiet Technology Aerospace (qtaerospace.com) at $800,000. There are 217 Gulfstream IIs and IIIs that can potentially be hushkitted, although the cost of the hushkkit for the Gulfstream II exceeds the recorded value of the airplanes. However, it seems there is some confusion concerning what aircraft can, or have been hushkitted. Research carried out by Aviation International News (AIN) revealed the following: Hushkits are indeed available for GE CF700-powered Falcon 20s and the

CF700-powered Sabre 80, and these are available from Kalitta Turbines (www.kalittamaintenance.com), which bought the Noise Reduction Engineering (NRE) hushkit business from GE last year. The NRE hushkit for the CF700 sells for $170,000, according to Kalitta, and plenty of kits are available. In addition, Butler National Corporation (www.butlernational.com) is near completing an STC for a Learjet 20-series hushkit, which it expects will be available this fall. Pricing hasn’t been set yet, according to the company. Owners of airplanes not offered a hushkit solution are faced with three alternatives: (1) Sell the airplanes for operation outside of the 48 contiguous United States; (2) salvage the airplanes for parts; or (3) scrap the airplanes. Many countries have already preceded the U.S. in either banning or legislating limited operations of these airplanes. At least eight countries already ban Stage 2 operations by airplanes of any size. Excluding the United States, there are 50 countries that have a total of 392 registered airplanes like those banned in the United States. Almost 50 percent of these jets are registered in Mexico. The U.S. ban on Stage 2 operations reduces the value of these airplanes in Mexico as a large potential destination for operators is lost, and the limited worldwide market hinders an owner's ability to sell a banned airplane at the pre-law retail value.

▼

The FAA issued a final rule prohibiting jets with <75,000 pounds MTOW from operating in the contiguous U.S. after December 31, 2015, unless they meet Stage 3 noise levels. The Act also describes certain circumstances under which otherwise prohibited operations will be allowed. The FAA points out that the Act affects 457 registered owners of 599 airplanes that range between 25-50 years in age. 403 of the registered owners (88%) have only one airplane affected by the ban; 51 of the owners have 2-10; and three owners (all non-scheduled Airlines) have a combined total of 51 airplanes affected. Some of the banned airplanes can be upgraded to Stage 3 noise levels with the installation of a hushkit. Of the 17 models of airplanes affected by this ban, hushkits had previously been available for Dassault Falcon 20; the Learjet 23/24/25; and

A lack of demand for the banned airplanes will leave most owners little choice other than to sell the airplanes for their scrap value. The salvage value is likely to equal the scrap value. The single most valuable part on the airplane is the engines, which after the ban have essentially no value. Secondarily, the round-dial instrumentation used in the affected fleet is largely obsolete with a small used market.

EXCEPTIONS The FAA clarifies that the rule does provide for the issuance of special flight authorizations after 2015 for affected business aircraft under certain circumstance. Operators of these business aircraft may seek such authorization if the purpose of the flight is to sell, lease or use the aircraft outside the contiguous U.S.; scrap the airplane; modify the airplane to Stage 3 noise levels; transport to a heavy maintenance facility; return the aircraft to a lessor; prepare to park or store the airplane; provide emergency relief services; or divert the airplane into the 48 contiguous states on account of weather, mechanical, fuel, air traffic control or other safety reasons.

Tri-Jets Range Map 7X=5950nm 900EX=4500nm 900DX=4100nm 50EX=3267nm

When you own one of the Tri-Jets, you own the best built business jet in the sky; and the Federal Aviation Administration has certified them with no life limits for any part of the airframe structure. They exhibit noteworthy handling manners, superb poise throughout the operating envelope and light but not oversensitive control feel. In addition, Tri-Jets have set world and national records for distance, speed, time to climb and sustained altitude. Aircraft safety is determined by reliability and redundancy. In the event of an engine failure a reduction of climb rate, speed and altitude occur. Critical engine-driven systems may be compromised including the hydraulic, electrical and bleed-air systems which draw their power from the aircraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engines. The FAA emphasizes redundancy more than the number of engines for flight safety over water; although there is a relationship between the two. Very High levels of safety are achieved with the Tri-Jets; the 900 for example has two hydraulic systems that are powered by hydraulic power from four sources; three engine-driven hydraulic pumps plus a standby pump powered electrically. The left-hand and right-hand engines provide power for the right hydraulic system; and the center engine supplies power for the right hydraulic system with backup from the standby pump. One system can supply enough hydraulic power to operate the aircraft and land safely if a system fails. An erroneous conclusion is that Tri-Jets cost more to operate than competitive twin-jets. Many long-range twin-jets use excessively large engines and supporting structure. Tri-Jets with their effective configuration, utilize smaller more fuel efficient engines. With fuel efficient engines, Tri-Jets carry less fuel than twin-jets. This results in a reduction of weight and operating costs. Smaller engines, the Tri-Jets aerodynamic improvement and lower operating weight culminates in an aircraft that burns less fuel than many heavier twin-jets. Tri-Jets have earned a stellar reputation among owners and operators; and usually have higher resale values than the competition.
