VIEWPOINT

There’s No Crying in Baseball!

Putting your energy to work. by Gil Wolin hat’s the difference between jet engines and jet pilots? You know. The punch line to the old joke: one stops whining when it gets to the gate. But in 1992, it wasn’t about whining – it was about crying.

In 1992 the film A League of Their Own featured Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan, manager of the Rockford Peaches’ wartime women’s softball team. The former major league player treated this distaff collection of amateur athletes as he did his former professional teammates. Suffice to say, he was not a “sensitive, New Age” kind of guy.

Dugan: “Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!” Maybe aviation should be more like Dugan’s baseball – no crying – and no whining. Though granted, we certainly have enough to whine – or cry – about…

The White House has been silent of late regarding Business Aviation. But the President has been a bit preoccupied with debt ceilings, budget concerns and gun control legislation. We have yet to see whether he’ll continue his attacks on business jet owners.

And while 2013 will not see new business jet deliveries return to last decade’s peaks, the January JP Morgan North America Equity Research forecast does at least indicate a 5% increase in business jet deliveries, with 627 business jets (not counting VLJs) delivered this year, versus just under 600 in 2012.

JETNET’s latest data, through November, indicate that the fleet-for-sale percentages fell for 2012 – but not by much.

They were down 0.4%, to 13.6% for business jets, and 1.4% to 8.5% for turboprops.

But the number of business jet transactions was up markedly, by 5.7%, from 1,869 to 1,976. That may be due to a decline in prices, according to JP Morgan, by 9% yearover-year. With the minimal decrease in aircraft for sale, that means that additional aircraft were being put up for sale almost

as fast as the already-listed ones sold.

Flight activity data send even more mixed signals. Where JP Morgan’s report shows US flight operations up in two consecutive months, 2.65% in October and 1.4% in November compared with 2012, Argus’ TRAQPak data indicate that December activity decreased both monthover-month and year-over-year, by 6.9% and 2.0% respectively, the latter driven by declines in Part 91 (down 5.7 % from 2011) and fractional flying (down by 9.2%, due in part to the temporary grounding of the Avantair P180 fleet). That is more in line with JP Morgan’s 2012 year-to-date data, which shows US flight activity up less than 1%, and European operations down 3.1%.

The one notable exception was Part 135 charter activity. That, according to TRAQPak, was up with a year-over-year increase of 8.8% in December, the third consecutive monthly increase for charter.

But then this may well tie back to the continued sluggishness in new and pre-owned aircraft sales. Those who really need to travel by business aircraft are continuing to do so – but by chartered aircraft, rather than owned or fractional. That’s a trend that CitationAir acknowledged in 2012 by switching from fractional to an exclusivelycharter aircraft operation.

We’ve got a way to go before we can do more than whisper “industry recovery.”

Speaking of recovery, that’s what mandatory pilot rest periods are intended to accomplish, in the name of safety. And when we count the reasons to whine, we need to include the questionable decision by the FAA to exclude cargo operations from the revised Part 121 flight time and duty time NPRM. That new rule will mandate at least 10 hours of rest before each flight duty period, up from 8 hours, as well as other limits on aggregated weekly and monthly flight times.

We all understand the concern for passenger safety, and that “people” carry more value than “things”.

But pilots are “people” too (no cracks from the peanut gallery, please), and a cargo accident creates as big a smoking www.AvBuyer.com

hole in the terrain as does a passenger aircraft. If flight duty and rest times are a safety issue, then the rule should apply to all pilots on all Part 121 commercial carriers.

Increased rest time will require more pilots, if the current flight schedules are to be maintained. Add to that the FAA’s proposed requirement that first officers must have an ATP rather than just a commercial license, which raises the required total flight time for the position to 1,500 hours, and we have yet another driver for a potential pilot shortage as the Baby Boom pilot generation hits mandatory retirement age.

Let’s not whine to each other. Let’s put that energy to work, by supporting industry efforts to improve safety, for pilots as well as for passengers. Participate in regional and national industry activities that give voice to our legitimate concerns.

If you are fortunate enough to reside in a democratic country, contact your elected representatives, and let them know how you feel.

It isn’t easy, but as Jimmy Dugan said to his charges, “It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard...is what makes it great.” ❯ Gil Wolin draws on forty years of aviation marketing and management experience as a consultant to the corporate aviation industry. His aviation career incorporates aircraft management, charter and FBO management experience (with TAG Aviation among others), and he is a frequent speaker at aviation, travel and service seminars.

Gil is a past director of the RMBTA and NATA, and currently serves on the Advisory Board for Corporate Angel Network and GE Capital Solutions-Corporate Aviation.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Access Enabled?

Who’s Entitled to Use Business Aviation?

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

The correct answer to the subheading above is: ‘anyone in the company whose “Presence/Time” dynamic produces benefits for shareholders’, asserts Jack Olcott.

T

ravel might well be described as the crabgrass of business. Like the numbing chore of keeping a lawn free from that pesky weed, business travel is a boring task that is essential to maintaining a successful company. Rarely fun, but always necessary.

Gone are the days when a flight on an airliner was novel or pleasant. Spending another night in even the best hotel is hardly compensation for missing an evening at home with the family.

Certainly the convenience of setting one’s own schedule, eliminating connecting flights and avoiding the hassle associated with a busy Airline terminal tilts the tolerance scale in favor of business aircraft. Given a choice between the Airlines and Business Aviation, many travelers would choose the latter. But the allure of business jets quickly wears thin. Traveling hundreds of hours in the typical business jet—a mid-sized machine with barely sufficient room to stand—is not in itself a thing of luxury. The company aircraft is simply a salve that sooths the harsh rub of routine travel.

When considering the relative desirability of fulfilling the necessity of travel via Airlines compared with Business Aviation, however, the choice is clear. Business Aviation wins hands down for all who have spent time “on the road” on behalf of the firm. And that reality begs the question— who should have access to Business Aviation?

CONVENIENCE IS NOT THE ISSUE For no other reason than convenience (and a myriad of other issues) business men and women with a modicum of travel experience would select Business Aviation as the desired mode of transport if cost were not an issue. But cost is an issue.

Business aircraft, whether owned by a company or chartered, are expensive to acquire and operate. Thus the necessity for a metric by which a decision to use or not to use a business aircraft can be made objectively.

Frankly, I think it is poor governance—and a questionable use of the corporations funds—to limit aircraft use to just the President/CEO and his or her top people. Everyone likes convenience, but the purpose of a corporation is maximizing

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation

shareholder equity in an ethical and sociallyacceptable fashion—not simply providing the top people with the convenience of Business Aviation.

BUSINESS SUCCESS IS THE ISSUE Business aircraft are very effective tools for placing the right person in the right place precisely when he or she is needed—the “Presence” element. Furthermore, business aircraft provide a secure and productive environment in which to work while traveling—the “Time” element. Hence the need to evaluate the “Presence/Time” dynamic when determining who should have access to Business Aviation.

In certain situations, the “Presence” element is governing; in others, the “Time” spent traveling dominates. In most situations, however, both Presence and Time combine to clearly identify who should have access to Business Aviation.

Security—both personal security and industrial security—may enter the equation. The bottomline question, however, remains the same. What is the value of having the passenger travel in a timely and productive fashion to a location important to the company’s success?

While such is not always the case, an employee’s title should have no bearing on access to the corporate jet.

A very successful manufacturer of automated production equipment used its corporate jet to transport technicians to customers who experienced interruptions on their continuously operating assembly lines. By assuring clients that the supplier would have a qualified problem solver at Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

their doorstep within hours of a breakdown, business was enhanced. The company aircraft provided value by its ability to position a skilled technician at the trouble site quickly, thus minimizing losses due to a breakdown in the customer’s production line.

With significant opportunities in remote areas of the globe, many successful firms use their company aircraft as a traveling office as they pursue unique opportunities. It is not atypical for companies with dealings in Asia to spend 40 hours per week traveling—time that must be used productively while in transit to remote sites.

A contrary example is a former Fortune 100 firm that limited the use of its corporate aircraft to about a dozen “Mahogany Row” executives.

That company no longer exists, taken over by a rival with apparently a different attitude toward its use of business aircraft.

“In most situations, however, both Presence and Time combine to clearly identify who should have access to Business Aviation.”

POLICY BEGETS PROFITS Boards are obliged to resolve the question of access to Business Aviation by focusing on returns to shareholders. Positioning rainmakers, problem solvers and customer specialists—regardless of title—promptly where they are needed most, and enabling them to use their travel time productively, is the appropriate policy for maximizing profits.

Offices That Move: Making the most of travel time.

Business Aviation is a valuable tool for using time wisely, notes Jack Olcott. No other form of transportation positions the right employee at the right location more quickly, or allows an employee more control over his or her working environment while traveling.

associated with non-business activities, such as reading the latest novel from a popular author. But in the presence of fellow employees sharing the cabin of a business aircraft, travelers are reluctant to be seen as using company time for non-company activities, such as discretionary reading or sleeping.

Passengers frequently comment that the cabin of a business aircraft is noticeably more conducive to working productively than the employee’s office.

When traveling at Mach 0.80 high above the hassle of terrestrial hubbub, there is no risk of an unscheduled drop-in interrupting one’s concentration.

In addition to using a business aircraft to position the most appropriate person for the task at hand, an employee’s time spent traveling can be the most productive time of the day.

Use of Time Aboard Aircraft Percentage of Flight Time

”Passengers frequently comment that the cabin of a business aircraft is noticeably more conducive to working productively than the employee’s office.”

W

hen queried by Harris Interactive, Inc. (and as presented in the chart below), passengers on business aircraft reported that the majority of their time aboard was consumed with work-related tasks.

Approximately 36 percent of hours aloft were spent either meeting and discussing business plans with employees or interacting with clients. By comparison, survey participants reported that only three percent of their time while traveling via airliner involved business meetings with employees or clients.

In today’s competitive world, few if any travelers want to discuss meaningful business in the proximity of strangers. Even when limiting their business activities to individual activities, such as reading company reports, executives favor the controlled environment of a business aircraft over the public nature of an Airline flight, according to the Harris Interactive survey.

Use of time traveling on an airliner is more often

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Publicity: Have No Excuses and Nothing to Excuse.

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.

Have you noticed how few companies talk publicly about their use of Business Aviation? Pete Agur discusses why such secrecy exists and suggests the practice needs examination.

W

hy is it that some companies are reluctant to discuss their use of Business Aviation? I can think of three very good reasons:

1. A core value of corporate privacy.

2. A concern that any publicity about their use of Business Aviation will be a distraction from the core business.

3. A fear that perceived inappropriate use of Business Aviation services will lead to public embarrassment, or worse.

PRIVACY Many companies have a core value of privacy. That value may be sourced from their corporate culture or from their competitive environment. How they travel, via public transportation or via Business Aviation, is encompassed within a veil of discretion.

These companies are consistent in their position on privacy across the expanse of their business activities.

On the other hand, companies that are inconsistent in their position on privacy are the ones that are easy targets for gadflies and their exposes. A situational privacy policy (pay no attention to the airplane behind the curtain) is a magnet for scrutiny.

DISTRACTION Any prolonged defense of Business Aviation is a distraction from the normal course of the enterprise. That defense is often a reaction to a challenge or threat. If it is pre-empted proactively, the need to invest time and effort into justifying your Business Aviation use is often avoided or greatly diminished.

Business Aviation services are part of your company’s infrastructure. No more, no less. You don’t hide your investment in your company campus.

You don’t hide your investment in information systems. So, don’t hide your investment and use of Business Aviation. Acknowledge Business Aviation as a company resource that is essential, like facilities and information systems, with clear policies and practices governing their application. Don’t make excuses.

NOTHING TO FEAR OR EXCUSE If you are not going to make excuses, you should also have nothing to excuse or fear. Some companies avoid public discussion about their Business Aviation services because their use practices (or lack thereof) invite criticism. Any public or internal discussion is likely to be embarrassing, so they say.

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation The countermeasure to this risk is to stay on the whiter side of gray. There are two arenas to focus on to assure you are on the whiter side of gray: 1. Operational Standards and Practices; 2. Governance.

OPERATIONAL STANDARDS AND PRACTICES Early in my career as a consultant I had the chairman of a FORTUNE 500 company explain in very clear terms what he expected in the performance of Business Aviation services. He wanted Standards and Practices that were the equivalent of the major Domestic Airlines (at that time the leaders in safety) or better. He went on to say that high standards should be universal in application for all of his company’s Business Aviation travelers.

I knew he was sincere, but I also knew his company had some aerial survey flight operations that were high-risk activities. When I asked him if those operations were an exception, he did not hesitate.

He said they either had to meet that standard or they would have to be done another way. There was no gap between his mouth and his movement.

His example points the way: close any gaps you have between your intended and your actual Operational Standards and Practices. For instance, if you require two turbine engines and two highly qualified and experienced pilots for your Business Aviation operations, don’t allow that standard to diminish when your people travel on charter aircraft. Specify that the charter operators provide only twin-turbine aircraft with two highly qualified and experienced pilots on all your trips. There will be a cost for doing this. But it is the normal cost of meeting your standards, not an “added” cost.

GOVERNANCE If your use of your Business Aviation services is on the darker side of gray, it may only be a matter of time before it becomes a public embarrassment. For instance, you become vulnerable when Business Aviation services are used to carry passengers for personal travel or when non-business travelers (spouses and significant others) are added to the manifest.

Who uses the company aircraft should not be the source of embarrassment. You can define how the aircraft are used for business purposes. It is a tactical decision as to whether Business Aviation services are used to carry customers, any member of the company or only the top executives of the company.

There may be appropriate reasons why a spouse must accompany an executive on a business trip. To avoid undue criticism, however, aircraft use should support company objectives.

The whiter side of gray can be achieved by having very clear policies that closely govern how

Business Aviation services may be used and who they may carry. For instance, one chairman negotiated the continued use of company aircraft for a year after his retirement. This created a conflict with the needs of the enterprise on two levels. First, the aircraft would clearly be used for the retiring chairman’s personal transportation. Second, when the aircraft was carrying the retiring chairman it would not be available for its intended purpose; furthering the success of the enterprise.

The answer was relatively painless. The chairman was “given” a fractional debit card to cover his anticipated travel. This elegant solution separated personal versus business use, and it made it easy to financially account for the settlement.

There is no need to hide Business Aviation services in a dark closet or make excuses for selecting this form of transportation. Establish policies, practices and governance that embrace the value of Business Aviation.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

BizAv Efficiency: Board policies for efficient use of business aircraft.

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

“Corporate travel policy should address who has priority for use of the aircraft.”

42

Business aircraft are valuable tools for advancing the goals of the enterprise. To measure effectiveness and provide oversight, however, there must be policies in place. David Wyndham offers some perspectives for the board to consider when crafting those policies. hen developing policies regarding measurement of the effectiveness of your business aircraft, first there needs to be a document stating how Business Aviation supports the company’s Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles. Ideally, this is part of an overall air transportation plan for the company that not only offers a rationale for an aircraft, but also offers the analysis for what type(s) of aircraft are being used. Ask yourself the following basic questions (adding the answers to your Mission document):

W

the aircraft and who is authorized to make the aircraft available to those without direct authorization privileges. This document should be copied to everyone who has a need to travel. For example, if the Senior VP of Engineering is authorized to use the business aircraft, he or she needs to know the parameters that apply to exercising that authority.

With one client of ours, any C-level executive can authorize the aircraft use by any employee, but they must provide written justification for anyone below Senior VP level. Thus, the corporate travel policy also stresses accountability.

• •

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

What is your company's Mission?

How does the use of the business aircraft support that Mission?

Second, your company should have a written corporate travel policy that includes Business Aviation. It should state who is authorized to use

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

Corporate travel policy should address who has priority for use of the aircraft. While not a recommended standard, some travel policies state that the aircraft's primary user is the President/CEO. If he or she is not using the aircraft, then it can be scheduled by any other C-Level executive. In a few other U

instances, the corporate travel policy states "first come first served" among the authorized users.

Another type of policy that I have seen requires a Senior VP (or higher) to be on board. Once the aircraft is scheduled, however, any employee with a legitimate business travel need can book a seat unless the aircraft trip is specifically blocked by the approving person. Each of these usage policies was developed with supporting the corporate Mission in mind.

Corporate travel policy should also address restrictions related to senior executives traveling in groups. Do you want the top four executives in your company all traveling in the same "vehicle" at the same time? I used the word vehicle because I've found that travel policies rarely extend to vehicles other than an aircraft, even though business aircraft have a significantly lower accident record than other means of transportation, such as automobiles.

In 2012, we did a survey of corporate flight departments, asking about senior travel restrictions.

Among the results: •

• •

44

83% of “Fortune 500” respondents (with business aircraft) have some sort of senior executive travel restriction.

Only one in five of the travel restrictions involved surface vehicles.

An overwhelming percentage (96%) of those respondents with restrictions, limit the number of senior executives traveling together on the same vehicle. (Note: If such a travel restriction is to be waived, who can do it? A "self-release" may not be the wisest alternative. I also recommend that the policy address all vehicles, not just aircraft.)

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

I have found that pilots are very "mission focused" and getting the job done is very much in their DNA. But safety is priority Number One. I strongly recommend a section in the aircraft use policy stating that safety of personnel is primary, and that any decision by the pilot in command regarding safety must be accepted by passengers, without exception, and that such policy is backed 100% by the President/CEO. To further strengthen accountability, policy regarding the use of the corporate aircraft must have the President/CEO’s signature.

REVIEW AND ADAPTABILITY Lastly, there needs to be tracking and review of aircraft use on a regular basis. Markets and competitive position change, forcing business to adapt and change. One of our clients in the tech industry was awarded a very valuable, long-term contract outside the US. The Board decided that the business arrangement and the opportunity for more business in that region were sufficiently important to justify acquiring an aircraft dedicated to that long-range trip. The company updated its corporate travel policy to address the use of this new aircraft.

Having a documented rationale for aircraft acquisition and use, (supported by a clear corporate travel policy with regard to the business aircraft), and tracking and reviewing that guidance on a regular basis, are all essential elements of Board governance for Business Aviation.

“Each of these usage policies was developed with supporting the corporate Mission in mind.”

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Risks and Rewards: Tactical Aggression in Today’s Resale Market.

Jay Mesinger is the CEO and Founder of J. Mesinger Corporate Jet Sales, Inc. Additionally, Jay is a Member of the Board of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), and the Chairman of the Associate Member Advisory Council (AMAC). He also sits on the Jet Aviation Customer and the Airbus Corporate Jets Business Aviation Advisory Boards. Mr. Mesinger can be contacted at jay@jetsales.com

From his perspective of decades evaluating the resale market for business aircraft, Jay Mesinger sees prompt action tempered by a modicum of caution as a winning strategy for today’s rapidly changing environment.

T

his month’s title deals with two very important concepts. First is the idea of being aggressive in a quickly changing market. Second is the concept of being

tactical.

Some participants see markets that are in flux and try to find opportunities for advancement. If we could always operate with hindsight we would never make a false step. Unfortunately we must move forward without the benefits of seeing precisely what lies ahead. This reality means that constantly gathering “intel” to be able to move with confidence and making sound business decisions are required.

To me, moving deliberately is a much better principle to employ when making decisions, especially in today’s marketplace that is in so much flux.

Moving aggressively, however, can blind you to obstacles that could yield hugely negative outcomes. Moving deliber-

ately and methodically is much more prudent and is likely to be more successful. (Note: Moving deliberately does not mean you cannot move rapidly once a great opportunity clearly presents itself.)

ANALOGY WITH A DIFFERENCE “Tactical” is a battlefield term that conjures up the idea of first strikes or small scale actions serving a larger purpose. Adding the element of aggression may be appropriate when seeking to overpower an enemy, but the battle analogy may be dangerous when dealing with a commercial endeavor.

First, do not think of the other side of a business transaction as ‘the enemy’. Your counterparty must ultimately be a partner in a transaction. On the battlefield you want to keep yourself U

from being surrounded and overpowered. In the marketplace you just want to be sure you are the best informed player. Once armed with quality intelligence, one must be nimble and capable of moving rapidly when an opportunity arises.

Employing the finest in aviation professionals is key—no different than having the best fighting talent around you when facing battle. These professionals should include tax, legal as well as market resources. Aviation brings about some very particular skill sets, so in-house general counsel and tax strategists can be wonderful team leaders. Their skills, however, should be augmented by specialists with knowledge of Business Aviation. While such team resources may seem like an extra layer of professional expertise, not understanding or overlooking important nuances can be hugely expensive.

The aviation market specialist is absolutely critical.

There would be no way to identify the real opportunity in a market without his or her layer of skill.

Back to the battlefield analogy, you may misjudge the landscape if you cannot recognize enemy fire from friendly fire, and the consequences could prove disastrous. Frequently people tell me they bought the cheapest deal. I congratulate them on that outcome and ask the follow-up question: “Did you buy the best plane cheap or just the cheapest

plane”. There could be a huge difference.

Whether considering a first time acquisition, adding to your fleet or capitalizing on market dynamics to restructure your flight department, how should you proceed? My advice is: • • • • •

Pick the right ‘troops’ Pull them in close Be very clear about the outcome you desire Trust the troops you assemble March ahead.

Once an opportunity has been identified, have your tax and legal group review the deal and give their input. Mix that tactical input into the big picture and then build the plan, step-by-step to capture the opportunity.

Today’s market can be ripe with opportunities and can yield favorable outcomes. The Board and key internal players can structure a deliverable plan conceived on reality and founded on good business principles.

“ Mix that tactical input into the big picture and then build the plan, step-by-step to capture the opportunity.”

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM

Bonus Depreciation: Extended for Another Year.

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.

Some aspects of Bonus Depreciation were retained in recent legislation to avoid the fiscal cliff, observes attorney Troy Rolf.

T

he American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which prevented the nation from going over the so-called fiscal cliff, includes a one-year extension of the popular Bonus Depreciation provisions contained in Section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Taxpayers who place “Qualified Property” in use before the end of 2013, or in some cases before the end of 2014, can write off 50% of the adjusted basis of the asset in the year the Qualified Property is placed in service. The 2012 Act did not, however, extend the period during which certain Qualified Property was eligible for Bonus Depreciation at the 100% level.

Bonus Depreciation, a term used to denote write-off of an asset at a faster pace than typically allowed, was written into the U.S. tax code in 2001 as a short-term stimulus measure to help boost the nation’s economy and has subsequently been revived several times by the Congress. In its present form, Bonus Depreciation typically grants a 50% tax depreciation allowance during the first year of use for taxpayers who place certain “Qualified Property” in service by 2013, or in some cases 2014.

Bonus Depreciation does not increase or change the total amount of depreciation (typically 100 percent of the asset’s value) that a taxpayer is entitled to claim over the depreciable life of an asset.

Rather, it allows taxpayers to deduct a larger portion of the cost basis of an asset in the year that the asset is placed in service than would otherwise be allowed.

54

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

WHAT IS ‘QUALIFIED PROPERTY’?

To be deemed “Qualified,” property must meet the following requirements: (1) Have a tax recovery period of 20 years or less; (2) Be placed in service by the taxpayer after December 31, 2007; (3) Be acquired by the taxpayer after December 31, 2007, and before January 1, 2014, but (a) only if no “Written Binding Contract” for the acquisition was in effect before January 1, 2008, or (b) must be acquired by the taxpayer pursuant to a Written Binding Contract that was entered into after December 31, 2007 and before January 1, 2014; and (4) Be placed in service by the taxpayer before January 1, 2014, or, in the case of “Certain Aircraft” or “Property Having Long Production Periods”, before January 1, 2015.

In addition, the property must be depreciable under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) - property that is not eligible for MACRS is not eligible for Bonus Depreciation.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS The deadline for placing in service “Certain Aircraft” and “Property Having Long Production Times” is December 31, 2014. Depending on certain circumstances, a business aircraft could qualify under either the “Certain Aircraft” provision, or the provision governing “Property Having Long Production Times,” or neither provision.

The following definitions are relevant only to property placed in service in calendar 2014.

“Certain Aircraft” refers to: (1) aircraft that are not “Transportation Property”; (2) at the time of the purchase contract, the purchaser having made a nonrefundable deposit of the lesser of 10% of the purchase price, or $100,000; (3) an aircraft that has an estimated production period exceeding 4 months; and (4) an aircraft that costs more than $200,000.

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation

“Used aircraft, including rebuilt and reconditioned The statute defines “Transportation Property” simply as tangible personal property used in the trade or business of transporting persons or property. This probably includes business jet aircraft that are used in on-demand charter operations. No definitive guidance yet exists to determine whether a specific aircraft is or is not “Transportation Property.”

Property Having Long Production Times is property that satisfies each of the following four tests: (1) The property must meet all the requirements of “Qualified Property” discussed above; (2) The property must either have a recovery period of at least 10 years or be “Transportation Property;” (3) The property must be subject to IRC Section 263(A) (which applies to real or tangible personal property produced by the taxpayer); (4) And the property must meet certain requirements of clause (iii) of 263A(f)(1)(B) which requires property have a cost exceeding $1,000,000, and an estimated production period exceeding 1 year.

This last requirement eliminates many corporate-class jets from qualifying for Bonus Depreciation under the “Property Having Long Production Times” provision, because only large cabin corporate jets actually have production periods exceeding a year. For “Property Having Long

Production Times”, only that portion of the cost basis of the aircraft that is attributable to production before January 1, 2014 qualifies for Bonus Depreciation.

aircraft, do not qualify for

RESTRICTIONS FOR USED AIRCRAFT Used aircraft, including rebuilt and reconditioned aircraft, do not qualify for Bonus Depreciation.

However, the cost of new upgrades and improvements (e.g., new engines and new avionics) purchased by a taxpayer for an aircraft the taxpayer already owns can qualify. If the taxpayer purchases a used aircraft after the upgrades and improvements have been made, however, the aircraft will be considered rebuilt or reconditioned and no part of the total acquisition cost will qualify.

New aircraft used by an OEM or dealer for demonstrator purposes prior to sale to a customer should qualify for Bonus Depreciation. In such situations, the Original Use of the aircraft is considered to be by the taxpayer and not by the dealer or manufacturer. As this article suggests, rules involving Bonus Depreciation are complex.

Readers are cautioned to seek additional information from counsel knowledgeable in relevant tax issues.

Very High Liability Limits: Over-insurance or smart move?

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

Stuart Hope once again examines the potential consequences that the “nightmare loss” presents for an aircraft owner, and he recommends caution.

I

n previous articles concerning protection for catastrophic loss, the discussion began with describing an actual accident in the hopes of getting your attention. One of those losses was the Challenger 600 that overran the departure runway at Teterboro, NJ during an aborted take-off, went through a perimeter fence, crossed a four lane highway and impacted a building. There were eight investment bankers on board the aircraft.

Another example was the Falcon 900 accident at Santa Barbara, CA. Again, the aircraft aborted takeoff, skidded off the end of the runway and impacted a berm, causing major damage to the aircraft. There were 15 passengers on board. Miraculously in both cases, there were no fatalities.

For purposes of this month’s discussion, let’s assume that the above accidents both resulted in “the nightmare loss,” and all passengers and crew perished. The lawsuits brought on behalf of the passengers by their families would come fast and furious.

Attorneys know how to work this game. There would be alleged negligence on the part of the aircraft owner, the aircraft manufacturer, the last facility to pump fuel or repair the aircraft, etc. However, since roughly 85% of accidents are caused by pilot error, the most probable target would be the owner.

WALLET-BUSTING AWARDS When these cases reached the courts the potential amount of economic and non-economic damages to be awarded by a “jury of your peers” for a wrongful death claim would be determined. First, the economic value of each deceased would be established based on the individual’s age at the time of death, his or her probable retirement age, and annual compensation adjusted for potential career moves up the ladder (think rising star). Then non-economic value, such as loss of consortium, etc. would be decided.

Summing both economic and non-economic values, the jury would arrive at a dollar figure. Given investment bankers routinely make annual salaries plus bonuses in the one to ten million dollar range, you can quickly see that for each passenger the U

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation

amount of the potential verdict could be extremely large.

There is no joy in purchasing insurance. Most buyers don’t really understand what they are purchasing.

Fewer ever take the time to actually read the policy, so it is no wonder many make the disastrous decision to exert a minimal amount of “due diligence” when renewing or placing their insurance.

Further, there is a misperception that $25m or $50m is a large amount of coverage, which I assure you is not the case when considering aircraft. Being a millionaire today is nothing like what it was when Howard Hughes was a young entrepreneur. Today a billionaire is the millionaire of an earlier time.

FACING REALITY If you or your company own or operate a business aircraft, you or the passengers riding in your aircraft represent the top 1% of wage earners in the USA. You are nominally high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth individuals often carrying friends, partners or vendors who are in the same category. Your success places you in ‘rare air’, and along with that success

comes the responsibility to protect all that you have gained.

In a word, liability insurance is your biggest friend.

Coverage limits from $50m to $500m can easily be purchased for corporate aircraft flown by professional pilots. The marginal cost difference to increase your liability coverage limit in today’s soft insurance market is truly nominal.

You honestly need the highest liability limit you can reasonably afford. Verdicts are not getting smaller; quite to the contrary, they are increasing every year.

Sure the odds of the above losses happening to you are small, but that’s what the owners of those aircraft thought also. Mistakes happen, and we never know when our number will be called.

Is your protection sufficient? You’d better look again if you are in doubt. Now is the time to take action. Send yourself an email reminder now.

Medium Jet Value: Not too big, not too small Medium Jets can be just right.

Among the many advantageous aspects of Business Aviation, the broad spectrum of solution options suggests Medium Jets can be just the right fit for many operators.

“...Medium Jets typically can use a significant percentage of the secondary airports serving most of the 150 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S.”

rom Entry Level Jets, through Light Jets and on to the heady realm of the VIPconfigured airliners, an airplane exists that will accommodate your requirement for speed, range and capacity; especially for capacity.

Of all the business jet categories, none does more to balance capability with utility than the Medium Jet segment (loosely defined by aircraft with a maximum take-off weight between 20,001-40,000 lbs); no segment provides more options, either.

Medium Jets, as their label indicates, fall between the Light Jet and Large-Cabin Jet segments in numerous ways, while leaning closer to the LargeCabin segment in several specific areas. This class is not too big, not too small, and not too expensive, however.

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

www.AvBuyer.com

CABIN VALUE A smaller Medium Jet can only improve incrementally on the cabin space of the largest Light Jets, while the largest Medium Jet could dwarf the volume of that same Light Jet model.

Medium Jets also tend to cruise at the upper-end of the private jet speed range – between Mach 0.78 and Mach 0.85.

If there’s a contest to identify a give-back element to the Medium Jet segment, most would opt for runway flexibility. And that’s only fair. Runway requirements for Medium Jets are generally longer than the average length needed by a Light Jet. But Medium Jets typically can use a significant percentage of the secondary airports serving most of the 150 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. In general the average Medium Jet can reach U

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation most of the U.S. non-stop from almost anywhere in the U.S., thanks to their range capability. Medium Jets typically can fly from several hundred miles to more than 1,000 miles farther than the Light Jet average.

That range capability also gives the crew the flexibility to string together a sequence of stops that total the same distance. Using the latter approach makes it possible for a Medium Jet to cover multiple stops and get home at the days’ end, without buying fuel along the way.

CONSIDER A MEDIUM JET IF… This capability to avoid refueling on a multi-leg trip is called “tankering”, and it makes the Medium Jet a more-suitable solution than a Light Jet for the operator who regularly needs to fly 2,000 nautical miles or more on a leg – or who may cover that much in a day or two flying multiple legs.

While on average faster than the regular Light Jet, a Medium Jet’s superior speed generally provides only a few minutes of gain on the typical Business Aviation trip of 350 to 500 miles, but the difference will be noticeable on legs as long as the average Light Jet’s typical maximum range.

There’s no disputing the advantages of space in the comfort equation, particularly when applied to longer trips. That is ultimately where the Medium Jet’s basic advantage comes into play. Medium Jets deliver plenty of added space and comfort over the typical Light Jet, but at costs still significantly below those of the Large Cabin segment.

Indeed, Medium Jets generally can match their Large Cabin kin in terms of speed and, to a point, range, while providing reasonable office amenities that are competitive with most larger aircraft.

It is little wonder that the Medium Jet segment is the biggest selling, deepest segment across the business aircraft market.

MEDIUM JET PRICE GUIDE The following Medium Jets Retail Price Guide represents current values published in the Aircraft Bluebook – Price Digest. The study spans model years from 1993 through Winter 2012 (20 year period). Values reported are in USD millions, with

each reporting point representing the current average retail value as published the Bluebook by its corresponding calendar year. For example, the Bombardier Learjet 40XR values reported in the Winter 2012 edition of Bluebook shows $4.25 million for a 2007 model, $4.85 for a 2008 model and so forth. Aircraft are listed alphabetically.

Aircraft specifications for the following models can be found in the Specifications and Performance section in this issue (page 78).

AIRCRAFT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS HAWKER BEECHCRAFT PREMIER IA

CESSNA CITATION CJ2+

Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA

by Michael Chase n this month’s Aircraft Comparative Analysis, we will provide information on the Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA which falls within the light business jet category. We’ll consider some of the productivity parameters including payload, range, speed and cabin size, along with its current market value. The field of study also includes the Cessna Citation CJ2+ for comparative purposes.

The history of Hawker Beechcraft originates to 1994 when Raytheon merged its Beech Aircraft Corporation and Raytheon Corporate Jets units. The company headquarters is in Wichita, with maintenance and manufacturing locations worldwide.

In 2006, Raytheon sold the company to a consortium of Goldman Sachs and Onex Corporation and named the company Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC). 2007 marked the 75th anniversary of Beechcraft and the 60th anniversary of the Beechcraft Bonanza, which represents the longest running production of an aircraft model of all time.

In April 2012 the company defaulted on

I

72

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

interest payments and was in breach of banking covenants, and on May 3, 2012, the company entered bankruptcy, filing voluntary petitions under Chapter 11. On October 18, 2012 negotiations with a potential buyer failed and the company has now committed to exiting bankruptcy on its own and under a new name, Beechcraft Corporation, while ceasing jet production.

Raytheon started the design of the Premier I in 1994, and the jet completed its first flight in 1998 and received FAA certification in 1999.

The aircraft entered the market in 2001. The Premier I light business jet was the first allnew jet built by Raytheon Aircraft from an original design and is the first in a family of business jets which is constructed with highstrength composite, carbon fiber/epoxy honeycomb fuselage and swept aluminum wing design.

The Premier I business jet is equipped with two Williams FJ44-2A turbofan engines delivering 2,300 lbs of thrust each. There are 126 units currently in operation. On September 22, 2005, the Premier IA was certified with new cabin interior and improved systems. Today, 160 Premier IAs are currently in operation. www.AvBuyer.com

MARKET SHARE Chart A (below) represents the in-operation aircraft Market Share as of December 2012 for the Premier IA (44%) and the Citation CJ2+ (56%). There are currently 361 aircraft in operation for these two models combined. ❯

CABIN VOLUME In spite of its lower available payload with maximum fuel weight, according to Conklin & de Decker, the cabin volume of the Premier IA at 315 cubic feet is 27 percent larger than that of the Citation CJ2+ aircraft (248 cubic feet), as shown in Chart B (left).

Data courtesy of Conklin & de Decker, Orleans, M.A. USA: JETNET; B&CA May and Aug. 2012 Operations Planning Guide

Premier IA

The data contained in Table A (left) is published in the B&CA May 2012 issue, but is also sourced from Conklin & de Decker. As we regularly state, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The Premier IA ‘Available payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 320 pounds has less payload capability than the Citation CJ2+ (715 lbs).

www.AvBuyer.com

Each of the Premier IAs Williams FJ44-2A engines offer a thrust rating of 2,300 pounds. The Citation CJ2+ is also powered by a pair of Williams powerplants, each with a thrust rating of 2,400 pounds.

Table B (left), sourced from the Aircraft Cost Calculator, shows the fuel usage of each aircraft in our field of study. The Premier IA - at 164 gallons per hour (GPH) - uses 26 gallons per hour (or 18.8%) more fuel than the Citation CJ2+ at 138 GPH. Using data published in the May 2012 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.

Chart C (left) details ‘Cost per Mile’, and compares the Premier IA to the CJ2+ factoring direct costs, and with each aircraft flying a 300nm mission with 800 pounds (four passengers) payload. The Premier IA cost at $3.63 per nautical mile is lower by 7 cents compared to the CJ2+ at $3.70.

TOTAL VARIABLE COST COMPARISONS The ‘Total Variable Cost’, illustrated in Chart D (top right), is defined as the cost of Fuel Expense, Maintenance Labor Expense, Scheduled Parts Expense and Miscellaneous trip expense. The total variable cost for the Premier IA at $1,173 is less than the CJ2+ at $1,190 by 1.4%.

AIRCRAFT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS HAWKER BEECHCRAFT PREMIER IA

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 Premier IA aircraft, as shown in the productivity index Chart D (right), is productive alongside the Citation CJ2+. The Premier IA has a larger cabin volume which many operators will value. According to Vref, a new 2012 model Premier IA is priced at $6.6m, whereas a Citation CJ2+ for the same year retails for $6.7m (as represented in our Productivity Chart). The cost per mile for both aircraft is virtually the same, whereas the variable costs are 1.4% lower for the Premier IA, although its fuel usage is 18.8% greater than for the CJ2+.

Also included in Chart E are the 2005 Premier I and 2005 Citation CJ2 price (for last year of manufacture) and productivity index values. There were no changes in the productivity index for the Premier I to the IA, but there were slight index improvements from the CJ2 to the CJ2+ (speed and range).

Table C (right) represents the average preowned retail price from Vref for each aircraft.

The last two columns of information show the number of aircraft in-operation, and the percentage “For Sale”, as per JETNET. It is interesting to note that with 160 aircraft inoperation today only 8.7% (or 32) of the Premier IA fleet is currently for sale (traditionally a seller’s market). The Citation CJ2+ is also a seller’s market with 9.9% of the fleet ❯ for sale.

PRODUCTIVITY COMPARISONS The points in Chart E (middle) center on the Premier IA and Citation CJ2+, and draw in their preceding models, the Premier I and the CJ2 aircraft for perspective. Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in Vref. The productivity index requires further discussion in that the factors used can be somewhat arbitrary. Productivity can be defined (and it is here) as the multiple of three factors.

1. Range with full payload and available fuel; 2. The long-range cruise speed flown to achieve that range; 3. The cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

AIRPORT PERFORMANCE The Citation CJ2+ has the advantage for both take-off field length at a shorter distance (3,360 ft.) and landing distance (4,645 ft) over the Premier IA (TOFL - 3,792 ft and landing - 5,208 ft).

don’t just watch it y by.

LOCATION BY CONTINENT Table E (above), meanwhile, offers a breakdown of the location by continent for the wholly-owned Premier IA fleet. North America is home to the majority of the fleet (97 jets, or 61%), followed by Europe with 21% (34 jets). Currently, one Premier IA aircraft is in a shared ownership, and none are in a fractional-ownership arrangement.

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, but which are beyond the scope of this article.

The Premier IA business jet has its advantages - so those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison of value.

The aircraft is very popular and is operated by private individuals, companies, and charter operators and aircraft management companies. Our expectations are that the Premier IA will continue to do well in the pre-owned market as we await further reports of HBC exiting bankruptcy and their plan to cease jet production.

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-

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.

THE AVIATION LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE

Oddities In Nomenclature t is well worth discussion of some of the market description oddities that a buyer should be aware of. For example, I see ads or receive calls all the time stating that the airplane being advertised is a “pocket listing”, an “off market” offering, a “non-exclusive listing”, or promising the buyer “limited exposure”. I am always puzzled in this supply-rich environment about what it is really hoped can be accomplished with these strategies.

Are these terms representing a seller wishing to maintain their anonymity? Is the pitch coming from a broker that may not really have a clear mandate to sell, but is on a mission to fish around a market to see if there may be a buyer who is not really aware of real market conditions? In reality, I do not see this “Off Market” designation as serving either purpose. In fact that is the very reason real sellers hire brokers to represent their aircraft. They want to seek qualified buyers by allowing a buyer to know for certain that they are engaging with a real seller. Anonymity can easily be attained with the added layer of professional representation.

The institution of brokering is not easy on a good day: When there was a much more robust segment of dealers, rather than brokers, the dealer who actually owned the aircraft (rather than having a listing to sell it) had much more control of at least one side of the transaction. In the world of brokering, so often the broker with the listing may not have the control to create a transaction with a satisfactory conclusion. Adding the mystery element of the “Off Market” may be even more confusing and make a buyer more cautious than an already complicated transaction can really withstand.

One of my other favorites is the promise of “limited exposure”, which is essentially used to announce that an aircraft is being promoted to a select group of people. If only I knew how to find just the right buyer to talk to for any one airplane, it would make this process so simple! One thing this process is not is simple. To say it is simple would be like me saying that if we sell around 25 to 30 airplanes per year I only need to work 25 or 30 days per year. We would of course work 365 days a year to find that group of buyers and sellers to make our annual numbers. There is

I

82

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

just no magic to bypassing the incredibly complex job of finding and then putting qualified buyers and sellers together.

Buying aircraft that are on foreign registries is another very complex process. Not many registries worldwide provide the clarity to lien status or ownership as our FAA does.

Many foreign registries do not record ownership, they merely record operators. Others do not comment on lien status, so unlike our FAA when an aircraft is deregistered the recording country or jurisdiction will not guarantee that the aircraft is free of encumbrances. Therefore there is no opportunity to provide certainty of a contract with the ultimate owner and no way to know if it is lien free, and this pushes the buyer into contemplating the need for Title Insurance. This is nowhere near as good a solution as buying from a country that provides certainty in these two critical areas.

Another area of complexity is brought about by the idea of a “non-exclusive listing”, which is almost an oxymoron. Either there is a listing or there is not. Either a seller or buyer has hired someone to lead this charge or they did not. Worse is the question of ‘is there a real seller or a real buyer?’

If one removes for a moment all the guff surrounding market description, real buyers and real sellers will find a marketplace that is actually netting real transactions. 2012 was not a bad year for transactions. Actually, let me qualify that by saying it was a good year for those market segments that have reset their price expectations. Those segments that have not adjusted their expectations are still languishing, and are not moving. It takes a real trust in the numbers that are available to us all to be able to lead the parade and adjust and reset your pricing as a seller. Once accomplished, the aircraft you have for sale will sell.

•

Don’t be afraid to shout the opportunity from the rooftops.

• Don’t be afraid to put your aircraft front and center into a market.

• Let your broker list it with a serial number and registration number.

• Don’t be afraid to have the market buzzing about your airplane.

Without the buzz and the chatter it will never sell. It will almost always lag behind www.AvBuyer.com

those listings that are priced correctly and advertised in all the usual places.

There is nothing wrong with advertising in publications and websites where all the other airplanes are listed. In fact if I were a buyer of any type of product I would first go to the resource where the most products are listed. There I can begin to differentiate between the real offerings and the opportunistic offerings. I can begin to build my shortlist without the fear that I have missed an obscure, quiet listing.

2013 will be a good year for buyers and sellers. I think pricing will remain down, and that is good for buyers. And sellers who are really ready to sell will find buyers. The secret for selling in 2013 is the same secret that has been around for years. Price!

If one removes for a moment all the guff surrounding market description, real buyers and real sellers will find a marketplace that is actually netting real transactions. ❯ Jay Mesinger is the CEO and Founder of J.

creation. Every creation ripples through the world widening its influence the further away it travels from its initial splash.”

That message came back to me recently when visiting with a former test pilot and aircraft certification engineer. Discussing the city of Wichita, we reflected on the roots of the city’s enormous influence on the world of General Aviation – and, more specifically, its pivotal role in building Business Aviation into today’s air-transportation powerhouse.

“You know, you can trace the influence of so many people so far beyond their Wichita roots,” my friend intoned. “And their products spawned spin-off product development at other companies. Just look at what Bill Lear alone did, despite only a relatively short time leading aircraft companies…”

Of course, the first instinct jumped to the influence of the Learjet 23 as the influential breakthrough that it was. “No, he did much more…his fingerprints didn’t even start in Wichita but came through town and went all ❯ the way to Montreal.”

(He also invented car radios, a radiodirection finder for aircraft navigation, even an autopilot, long before he tackled a private jet concept and arrived in Wichita.)

Wait… Montreal…? “Of course…after he fathered the Learjet he later created the preliminary design and performance parameters of the original Canadair Challenger.

Bombardier moved into aerospace on the foundations of Canadair and de Havilland Canada, so by extension, Bombardier Aerospace moved ahead on the foundation of Bill Lear’s design work.”

You can’t look at the extensive jet line of today’s Bombardier Aerospace without recognizing that in some ways Bill Lear was an aerospace Thomas Edison. The family Bombardier spawned today stands as a powerhouse in Business Aviation that is so influential that the industry would not look the same without it.

CHALLENGER 600

FROM A TINY SEED… The Learjet of 1963 spawned a revolution in private jets built on unheard-of speed and utility – and available at a level that attracted hundreds of entertainment celebrities, sports figures, business icons and royalty from around the globe.

In 1967 Bill Lear sold the controlling stake of his company, within a few years of winning certification of the original Learjet 23, but the company bearing his name continued, producing the 24, 25, the 30 and 35 series, the 55 and 60, and arguably the most attractive of all of them: the Learjet 31A. Sporting the Learjet 35’s fuselage and the Learjet 55’s wing and winglets, the svelte 31A boasted Mach 0.80 cruise capability across 1,395 nautical miles (maximum cruise speed is Mach 0.81) while carrying nearly three-quarters of a ton (1,526 pounds) on top of full fuel! It’s speed and frugal fuel con-

sumption won it laurels as the most fuel-efficient jet in Business Aviation – and at normal cruise speed. Today’s four models continue those traditions with even more efficiency and utility, as outlined below.

THE CHALLENGER In 1976, several years after leaving Learjet’s board, Lear sold his own independent design – the LearStar 600 – to Canadair, a crown corporation of Canada’s government based in Montreal. Although the final design took little from Lear’s initial design work, much of its proportions and aerodynamic touches grew out of the LearStar and emerged as the Canadair Challenger 600.

While it shared a general configuration with the Learjet and other of Lear's previous designs, Canadair made several changes to distinguish the new aircraft from Learjets – ❯ most notably a taller, wider fuselage that

allowed a stand-up cabin. That feature was not at that time shared by any other business aircraft. The Challenger 600 entered service in late 1980, and the line continues today with the Challenger 605 and Challenger 300 mid-size jets.

GOING GLOBAL Late in 1991, Bombardier created an all-new design built on the Challenger’s fuselage dimensions but with all-new powerplants and advanced supercritical wing. With its 35degree sweep, new winglets and a new Ttail, the first of-its-kind Global Express was designed to go to far-away places as distant as 6,010 nautical miles away. Not until after its formal launch in 1993 did the Global face a competitor, Gulfstream’s GV. Once again Bill Lear’s line influenced an advanced new aircraft. And the Global line

CHALLENGER 300

evolved from one into several models that today numbers four. We’ll address all of them briefly below.

The important detail to remember is that the Global, while the youngest of the trio, helped Bombardier grow into a major global aerospace player, and move beyond even its regional airliner roots into territory long held by the world’s only two larger players Airbus and Boeing. The Bill Lear ripple thus continued.

THE LEARJETS TODAY A “line in transition” aptly describes today’s lineup of Learjets. The long-running 60-series mid-cabin model is about to become second largest upon the arrival of the in-development Learjet 85, a carbon-fiber advanced jet that breathes new technological life into the mid-size realm. Boasting more cabin volume,

GLOBAL 8000

88

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

better fuel efficiency, more space and longer range to go with its legendary Learjet speed and cruise-altitude capabilities, the Learjet 85 puts Bombardier squarely on the cutting edge of business jet design.

The Learjet 85 will be the first FAA Part 25-certified business jet with primarily composite materials making up the fuselage and wings. Using carbon fiber/honeycomb in place of aluminum allows for increased passenger comfort through the use of complex curves in the aircraft cross-section, thinner walls to maximize cabin volume, and optimized placement of windows and other cutouts.

With space for two more passengers and 600 miles additional range (3,000 nautical total) than the Learjet 60, the Learjet 85 holds great promise to help Bombardier fill a product-line gap between the Learjet 60 and

the Challenger 300.

The company also is developing followon models to the long-running Learjet 40XR and 45XR. The Learjet 45 was the first all-new, clean-sheet Learjet design since the original 23 of the early 1960s, and was followed by the Learjet 40 which offers a cabin 24 inches shorter.

Looking ahead, the Learjet 70 and 75 are poised to pick up the market niches the Learjet 40 and 45 have successfully filled.

The seven-seat Learjet 70 and nine-place Learjet 75 share the same approximate range (just under 2,100 nautical miles) and also cabin dimensions (essentially the cross-section is the same as that of the Learjet 60 line).

Beyond their spaciousness, however, the Learjet 70 and 75 improve on most of the performance and efficiency traits of their predecessors – with speed being the smallest gain to about Mach 0.81 maximum cruise. Runway need, fuel efficiency, climb and range are all measurably better in the new models.

TODAY’S CHALLENGERS Today three models wear the proud name “Challenger”: the Challenger 605 (the evolution of the original Challenger 600 model); the high-density shuttle model, the Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

Challenger 850; and the shorter-range super mid-size Challenger 300.

The Challenger 605 and 300 both boast Mach 0.82 maximum cruise speeds; the former can fly 4,000 nautical miles, and the later 3,065. Meanwhile, the Challenger 850 can cover 2,800 nautical miles and fly as fast as a still-speedy Mach 0.80. All three models sport stand-up cabins and modern flight decks. The Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 flight deck features in the Challenger 300 and 605, and the ProLine 4 system is utilized in the Challenger 850.

Global 6000 have maximum cruise speeds of Mach 0.89 and typical cruise of Mach 0.85 The four models all share in their Bombardier Vision flight decks, which is a marketing moniker that Bombardier uses to describe what it calls the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. The Global family features Rockwell Collins’ advanced ProLine Fusion avionics suite that has four 15.1-inch displays, Heads-Up Guidance System (HGS) and enhanced vision-system capabilities, these four are capable of operating at minimums below standard.

BOMBARDIER’S GLOBAL FAMILY The Global 5000, 6000, 7000 and 8000: the model numbers actually hint quite closely at the specific aircraft’s maximum range.

For the Global 5000 that’s 5,200 nautical miles; for the 6000 it’s 6,000 nautical; for the 7000 it’s 7,300 nautical; and for the 8000 its 7,900 nautical miles.

The Global 7000 and 8000 can travel their enormous distance potential at 0.85 Mach, but the Global 5000 and 6000 are even quicker, with a top cruise speed of 0.89 Mach (590 mph). The Global 7000 and Global 8000 are expected to boast maximum cruise speeds of Mach 0.90 while their typical cruise speeds will be Mach 0.85. Meanwhile the Global 5000 and the www.AvBuyer.com

Thus, with three distinct families of jets covering a wide spectrum of today’s business traveler requirements, and the promise of expansions and improvements on the current market offerings it is clear that Bombardier remains as in tune with its customer base as it ever was.

SELLING YOUR JET ABROAD

These U.S. laws may be unfamiliar to the foreign buyer, and possibly invasive, so the U.S. seller must get these issues on the table early, and show some patience. ircraft sellers are in a great rush to close on their aircraft sale transactions, and for good reason: time kills deals. However, U.S. private aircraft sellers wanting access to foreign buyers will need to show some patience, given the added legal steps required and the time/culture differences.

Private aircraft ownership in Asia, the Middle East and India is rising and will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

These foreign buyers are (and will be) purchasing aircraft that are registered and based in the United States, due to the large U.S. business aircraft market and the perceived high U.S. standards for aircraft maintenance.

Many foreign buyers plan to import the aircraft into their own country, but before they do, they need to export the aircraft out of the United States.

Neither the U.S. seller nor the foreign buyer will enjoy it, but there are some U.S. laws that the parties will need to suffer through in order to complete their aircraft transaction. These U.S. laws may be unfamiliar to the foreign buyer, and possibly invasive, so the U.S. seller must get these issues on the table early, and show some patience.

Below is a summary of the main U.S. laws that a U.S. seller should be aware of when selling an aircraft to a foreign buyer that plans to export the aircraft out of the United States.

A

DE-REGISTRATION In order to export an aircraft from the United States, the aircraft’s U.S. registration must be canceled by filing a registration cancellation request with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The request may be made by the aircraft’s last registered owner, the last owner of record, the foreign purchasAdvertising Enquiries see Page 8

www.AvBuyer.com

er (when supported by evidence of ownership), or by the authorized party under an Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request Authorization (IDERA).

Requests to cancel a U.S. aircraft registration for export must include: • A complete description of the aircraft; • The reason for cancellation (export to foreign country); • The name of the country to which the aircraft is being exported; • The signature and appropriate title of the requester; • Releases, discharges, or consents to export for all outstanding interests, security instruments and unexpired leases; and • A copy of the International Registry Search Certificate if the aircraft is subject to the Cape Town Treaty.

If the foreign buyer is going to finance the aircraft purchase, the de-registration of the aircraft from the United States and re-registration in the buyer’s country must be well coordinated. The lending bank will require a perfected lien (mortgage) on the aircraft, and this cannot occur until after the aircraft is deregistered in the United States and re-registered in the buyer’s country.

A U.S. seller will not usually agree to allow its aircraft to be de-registered until the seller first receives payment for the aircraft, but the lender will not want to release those funds until after it files a lien on the aircraft under the buyer’s home country registry. In many cases, the time difference between the selling and buying locations precludes a smooth, continuous de-registration and reregistration of the aircraft. In these cases, the careful use of independent escrows of money and registration documents is the best option for protecting the parties’ interests. ❯ WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

SELLING YOUR JET ABROAD Airworthiness in the resulting nation of registration. It is in the U.S. seller’s interest to support the buyer’s foreign registration activity by obtaining the “Certificate of Airworthiness for Export” from the FAA as quickly as possible.

CLOSING

For an aircraft being exported from the U.S., a U.S. seller must normally obtain for the buyer a “Certificate of Airworthiness for Export” from the FAA. As discussed in the “Closing” section (below), the conduct of these transactions requires the use of an experienced escrow agent, coordinating filings in the U.S. and the nation of subsequent registration in order to address the concerns of buyer, seller and lender(s).

In addition to U.S. registration with the FAA, some states require that aircraft based in their state be registered or licensed in the state. State de-registration of aircraft is a minor concern, but a U.S. aircraft seller may be required to collect state sales tax from the buyer on the aircraft’s sale unless there is a state sales tax exemption, which many states have.

CERTIFICATE OF AIRWORTHINESS FOR EXPORT Under U.S. law, ‘registration’ and ‘airworthiness’ are separate issues administered by the FAA, and both need to be addressed to

92

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

export an aircraft. Assuming the buyer follows the above procedure on de-registration, the buyer must also pursue airworthiness authority in the jurisdiction where the aircraft will be registered.

The new nation of registry must be comfortable that the aircraft is safe and suitable for use. The foreign buyer needs to engage the services of its equivalent of a “DAR” or Designated Airworthiness Representative, who will examine the aircraft and records on behalf of the buyer’s aviation regulator. For an aircraft being exported from the U.S., a U.S. seller must normally obtain for the buyer a “Certificate of Airworthiness for Export” from the FAA. This document tells the subsequent nation of registration that the FAA finds the aircraft airworthy (conforming to the specific type certificate issued by the FAA).

In most cases, this FAA document will be sufficient for the issuance of a Certificate of www.AvBuyer.com

It is important for a U.S. seller to establish, early in a transaction, where the aircraft will be when the various steps take place, and the order of steps. This may require coordination with the seller and buyer’s banks, if applicable, and use of an experienced escrow agent.

The escrow agent (as directed by the transaction documents) will govern the release of documents and funds, and the filing of lien releases, de-registration, re-registration and new liens.

It is not unusual for the entire transaction to occur while the aircraft remains in the U.S., in which case the purchaser would need to have a representative of the new nation of registration in the U.S. to perform any technical inspections required to issue the applicable Certificate of Airworthiness.

Transactions all vary, but a typical closing sequence, which is undertaken by joint instruction of seller, purchaser, lenders and other interested parties, and completed without interruption, is as follows: • U.S. liens/leases terminated • International Registry liens/leases terminated • Title documents released • U.S. de-registration • New national registration • New national liens/leases established • New International Registry liens established • Physical possession and control transferred to purchaser.

ANTI-MONEY-LAUNDERING LAWS The U.S. seller of a private aircraft may have to perform a due diligence investigation of the foreign buyer of a U.S. aircraft in order to comply with U.S. anti-money-laundering (AML) laws and regulations. This could be a sensitive issue with the foreign buyer that the U.S. seller must carefully navigate.

The U.S. government is concerned about money-laundering (parties engaging in transactions with money obtained by illicit means). Therefore, U.S. AML controls require U.S. financial institutions to prevent, detect and report money-laundering activities by requiring financial institutions to identify their customers, establish risk-based controls, keep records, and report suspicious activities.

Under The USA PATRIOT Act, U.S. businesses engaged in aircraft sales are considered “financial institutions” that are subject ❯ to AML compliance. Therefore, any U.S. Aircraft Index see Page 4

SELLING YOUR JET ABROAD State (DOS) prevent the sale of certain technologies to certain foreign countries and endusers. Under these laws, U.S. sellers cannot sell aircraft to individuals or companies from prohibited nations (e.g. Cuba or Iran).

Therefore, U.S. sellers will likely need to perform a “Know Your Customer” investigation of the foreign buyer for U.S. export control law compliance. If the buyer of the aircraft plans to resell the aircraft in a back-to-back transaction, U.S. export laws may treat this as a sale by the U.S. person directly to the aircraft’s end-user. For example, if a U.S. person sells an aircraft to an Indian citizen who then sells the aircraft to an Iranian citizen, U.S. export laws may treat this as a sale by the U.S. person directly to the Iranian citizen.

Therefore, the U.S. seller will want to investigate both the intermediate buyer and the end-user buyer to comply with U.S. export control and AML laws.

CONCLUSION

persons or entities engaged in the regular or recurring sale of aircraft will have some level of due diligence to comply with AML (“Know Your Customer”). At a minimum, the U.S. seller of an aircraft may evaluate each buyer (including entities known to be affiliated with the buyer) on a scale of low, medium or high risk for money-laundering abuse.

As part of AML compliance, the U.S. seller may check the “Specially Designated Nationals List” of the Office of Foreign Asset Control – Department of the Treasury (OFAC) and other U.S. Government lists.

OFAC administers economic sanctions programs that apply to all U.S. persons, wherever located. OFAC’s programs are either listbased or country-based. Country-based programs target a particular government and include complete trade embargos. Such programs include sanctions against Cuba, Iran and Sudan. List-based programs target persons (individuals or entities) involved in activities that threaten the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. Examples include sanctions targeting global terrorists and narcotics traffickers.

OFAC regulations do not require a U.S. person to maintain a compliance program –

94

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

but OFAC’s regulations are strict liability.

OFAC will take into account certain mitigating factors (including the presence of a compliance program) when determining whether to impose penalties for a breach of the sanctions program. Additionally, although OFAC does not formally require U.S. persons to maintain a compliance program, OFAC has adopted the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act risk matrix. This matrix provides that a U.S. financial institution will gauge the potential for money-laundering abuse for each customer, product, service and geographic location – and establish corresponding policies and procedures to mitigate each such risk.

Accordingly, U.S. sellers of aircraft may have to evaluate and check-up on the foreign buyer for AML compliance. U.S. sellers should explain these U.S. legal requirements to their foreign buyers as an unavoidable consequence of purchasing a U.S. registered aircraft, and not an effort by the U.S. seller to investigate the buyer more than is necessary to complete the transaction.

A U.S. owner selling an aircraft for export into a foreign country must comply with a bevy of U.S. laws and the requirements of several U.S. Governmental agencies. U.S. sellers just want to sell their aircraft, and do not particularly want to deal with all of these U.S. legal obligations, but nonetheless they must manage these matters or risk U.S. penalties and fines for non-compliance on the sale and export of aircraft. U.S. sellers must also manage their foreign buyers for whom these U.S. legal requirements are “foreign” and intrusive. For a U.S. seller in this situation, patience is the key.

MATCHING THE TRAVEL NEED

Business Operation Options

So many factors, so many choices, so few clear answers.

by Dave Higdon

96

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

s your company’s financial mavens examine the books on 2012, the issue of business travel once again shifts into sharp foreground focus – as it should have back in the Third Quarter, when time remained to plan for this year. Once again, the executives who were too busy to listen last quarter want you to explain why the company spends so much on staff travel. The answer will vary, of course, from company to company.

For some firms, the staff travels to generate business; for others, staff travel focuses on support; and still others bridge the two with travel aimed at satisfying an existing customer so that they never think of approaching another company for their next

purchase of goods or services.

“Why are we spending money on an owned airplane that we don’t need to fly all the time?” one CFO asks while another firm’s head of finance may look at data and ask “Wouldn’t owning the airplane save us money compared to the high costs of ondemand charters?”

Perhaps that first question’s answer will affirm the second question: yes, ownership does beat charters and leases… some of the time, for some companies. For others, however, infrequency of need or use may tilt the total cost number toward the charter solution, albeit at higher per-hour (and per-person, per-trip) cost. Some constants do exist, despite all these differences, however.

MATCHING THE TRAVEL NEED

make an informed judgment.

How many people must regularly travel?

How many irregularly travel? How often do these staffers go; how far; for how many days; and with how many overnight stays?

How much of this travel is via the Airlines, and at what costs (tickets, meals, hotel costs)? What was the total travel expenditure for the past year, three years, and five years? How many people (total), and for how many nights (total)? With some deep research each of those recurrent trips can be estimated as a charter; with more, as fractional share owners; and more, as straight-up jet ownership.

At some point, calculations require identifying an airplane and factoring in its nominal costs – with crew, bulk-fuel discounts and more. And then you can begin to examine that aircraft’s capabilities against the times needed to travel between common points via commercial carrier. If your company is like most, you’ll find some interesting answers.

DOLLARS AND SENSE

1. When properly assessed, the best solutions are what works best for the individual company/mission.

2. Use of a private aircraft should first always be a money or time (or both) saving solution.

3. No single solution fits all companies for all missions, all of the time. The best you can hope for is finding a solution, or a combination of solutions, that benefit the company with (a) the best outcomes for (b) the lowest total costs – yes, total costs.

Mission-by-mission comparisons may be good for shopping; but for assessing the total value it’s the total costs that must weigh against the total benefits. And this brings us Advertising Enquiries see Page 8

back to that early concern: What solution best fits us most of the time?

The choices aren’t that many, but the factors can be numerous. Among the choices: Full ownership; Fractional ownership; Lease (long- or short-term); Jet card; and Pure Charter. The other choice is the best mix of the above combination to cater to your unique travel needs.

HELP AT HAND As manifold as the options are, consultants ranging from for-profit firms and individuals to the guidance documents of membership groups concur the most on one sole aspect of assessing business aircraft travel needs namely, the depth of diverse input needed to www.AvBuyer.com

Every time you find a trip that unassailably favors an Airline flight, cross that trip off the list – unless, that is, it’s an overnight trip solely because of the Airlines’ schedule.

When you start to find one, two, even three days’ of savings in trips to destinations via Business Aviation (versus via the Airlines), savings on hotel and meal costs on each person begin to accrue. That’s an important distinction.

But beyond the operational cost calculations come the human factors. Without weighing the human factors of business travel, far fewer companies would buy, charter, share or lease a business airplane. When you find circuits that the privately operated airplane can complete in fewer hours, stops and days, the people involved get a break – which can help them tackle other important things.

Every day saved by the private airplane is money saved from hotels and meals not purchased – because the passengers got home faster where they can attend to other pressing issues, both at work and home, which in turn ensures happier, more productive, and more fulfilled employees. ❯ WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

MATCHING THE TRAVEL NEED BIG CONCEPTS

For example, if you have the occasional business trip that will require efficient transportation of more passengers than your airplane can accommodate, or if the destination airport’s runway is too short for the company airplane, you will need to consider some additional lift that can supplement these occasions.

98

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

Returning to the initial question of how you can tell the operational approach best for your business and its answer (that more than one approach may well be needed to craft the optimal solution), to help you weigh and assess each of the options and gain a better idea of the blend that would work for you we outline some of the key considerations for each.

Whole Ownership: Total control brings total cost responsibility; access is at your fingertips – as are all the tax benefits of buying and depreciating.

In essence, there is nothing particularly complicated about this approach; it’s similar to owning a car or truck for your business: The company or individual owns the airplane and must provide for its care, feeding, crewing, stowage, fuel and maintenance.

The airplane is ready when, and wherever you want. The only restrictions will be the capacity, the runway performance of the aircraft, and the inevitable times the airplane will be grounded for key maintenance events… For example, if you have the occasional business trip that will require efficient transportation of more passengers than your airplane can accommodate, or if the destina-

tion airport’s runway is too short for the company airplane, you will need to consider some additional lift that can supplement these occasions. Whether that is sourced via fractional ownership or charter will depend on how frequently the supplemental lift is needed.

Fractional Ownership: As aviation analyst Brian Foley puts it, Fractional Ownership works rather like a condo timeshare: clients buy a ‘fraction’ of an aircraft in the (fractional provider’s) fleet and then pay hourly and monthly fees for the provider to crew, fly and maintain it; clients owning larger shares can fly more hours.

Fractional Providers make up-front money by buying in bulk from business jet manufacturers at a discount and then selling the fractions at full retail. Fractional shareowners get the same tax benefits (proportional to their share holdings) as full aircraft owners, and they pay reduced hourly costs when compared to those that charter.

Charter: ‘You call, they haul’. Charter is similar to calling for a cab, and is charged by the hour. The chartered airplane comes when you call, picks you up where you ask, takes you to your destination, waits for your ❯

return, and flies you back to the starting point, or wherever you want to go on an on-bound journey.

The charter provider bills for the airplane on a structured basis, based on the aircraft size, and the client pays by the hour, with lower additional costs for positioning or pick-up legs. 100% of the charter costs are deductible just like ownership; but the charter client has no responsibility for crew, insurance or maintenance.

Jet Card: Similar to a discount card at restaurants, if you agree to pre-purchase blocks of time from a charter company, the provider discounts hourly costs. Once again, 100 percent of the charter costs are deductible and the charter client has no responsibility for crew, insurance or maintenance. The advance-purchased hours may expire, however, depending on the card service provider.

Additionally, the cardholder may be required to allow a higher minimum advance notice for provision of the aircraft.

You can get jet cards via several different program types: fractional providers, charter outfits, and even aircraft management groups.

combination of solutions: Owning an aircraft outright can be supplemented with a jet card for a similar or a different size aircraft for times when the main aircraft isn’t available, or is too large or too small to fit the trip.

Between 80 and 100 hours per year is a minimum one should identify a need for a business airplane before considering a fractional share. If the annual requirement is less, but a block charter purchase is justifiable, then consider a jet card for discounted charter time. Available for different categories of aircraft, and priced in increments of 25 hours, the jet card may also work to save

fractional hours for other needs as much as it augments the fractional availability.

Do remember that Fractional aircraft programs typically have an annual and program limit. Added hours will likely incur added costs.

Even wholly-owned aircraft impose notice limitations on their owners. Unless the operator can afford to have crew standing by 24-7, there will always be time needed to notify the crew, let them get to the airport and check and prepare the aircraft for the trip, to file flight plans and arrange any accommodations or facilities at the destination that will be required.

We leave you with one last thought: No ownership or operation structure ever gave the person paying the bills one scintilla of influence over Mother Nature. Your best hedge against Mother Nature is a good crew, using great resources, before flying their outstanding boss on that fantastic airplane.

Mother Nature always reigns supreme – and those who try to buck her will always pay the costs.

So now is an excellent time to take on a realignment of how your company handles its business travel needs – and it’s an even better time to enlighten the financial types to the work they need to do so that you don’t face those same questions again in December.

Happy flying!

Several significant events have occurred since 2005 in the Business Jet ‘For Sale’ inventory (see Chart A): • For the past eight years the market has consistently been a ‘Buyer’s Market’ (based on 10% or greater percentage of the in-operation business jet fleet ‘For Sale’).

• After several years of record sales and rising aircraft values the bubble finally burst in 2008 amid a world economic collapse and banking crisis of historic proportions. There was a large increase of 973 (or 60%) additional business jets for sale in 2008, and 1,147 (or 70%) in 2009 compared to 2007. This increase peaked in 2009.

• The year-end For Sale inventory began to decline in 2010 and has remained relatively unchanged for the past three years.

n this month’s column, we analyze the 2012 Pre-owned market and focus on the aircraft ‘For Sale’, and the Full Retail Sale Transactions. We’ll consider what changes occurred in the inventory as well as where the buyers came from during last year.

As we have observed previously, new aircraft orders are based on the successful sale of existing aircraft in the pre-owned market.

Someone wanting to purchase a new aircraft usually needs to sell their existing one first, so we have been watching this segment of the market closely.

has declined more as a result of the growth of the in-operation fleet numbers, which have increased from 17,118 in 2009 to 18,897 in 2012. By the close of 2012, the ‘For Sale’ inventory level stood at 2,539, or 13.4% - down 0.4% over close of 2011.

‘FOR SALE’ BY AGE There were 904 (or 55%) more business jets for sale in 2012 compared with 2007. Chart B (overleaf) represents this change by age, and shows that the greater change came from the www.AvBuyer.com

0-15 year old group (60%) compared to the 16 to 26-plus year old group (40%). These are interesting statistics as there have been many reports in the industry pointing toward the limited sales opportunities of business jets over 15 years old.

profitability, wealth creation and business investment. It is important to understand that Business Jet markets tend to be bifurcated, and purchasers tend to be either new aircraft buyers or pre-owned aircraft buyers.

GOOD NEWS! 2012 set a new record for the number of Pre-owned ‘Full Retail Sale Transactions’. Chart C (left) shows the previous peak in the Pre-Owned sale transactions in 2007 along with the recovery trend from the subsequent drop. The recovery started in 2010 and led to the new record in 2012. The data depicted is ‘as of January 11’. JETNET’s staff continues to post the 2012 year-end full retail sale transactions for the month of December from the various worldwide registries. The “final” transactions numbers for December and 2012 will be released in JETNET’s Market Information press release.

In 2012 there were 2,182 ‘Full Retail Sale Transactions’ (as of January 11), representing a third year of increase from the low of 1,539 transactions that were recorded in 2009. The 2012 worldwide pre-owned full retail sale transactions broke the 2007 record peak of 2,181 sale transactions.

2012 TRANSACTIONS DISSECTED Following, we break down the 2012 Preowned Full Retail Sale Transactions by weight class, by country (US v International), by Year of Manufacture, and by OEM. Table A (left) shows that the medium weight class was the only one to show a decline (of 35 or 6% fewer business jets) when comparing 2012 with 2011. The other classes all showed increases – and the heavy class lead the way with 69 (or 12%) more preowned business jets sold in 2012 compared to 2011.

Table B (top, right) breaks the 2012 Full Retail Sale transactions into year of manufacture. 1,152 (or 53%) of the transactions were in the 1 to 15 years group. All seven of the age groups – broken into 5-year periods - saw sales in 2012. The age group 11-15 years and the 31 years-plus had the most transactions at 435 (or 20%) each, followed closely by the 6-10 years group at 434. This distribution provides clear evidence that the pre-owned business jets in 2012 are selling across all age groups, perhaps reducing the premise that older aircraft (older than 15 years) are not selling.

Of course, there are many factors to consider in analyzing the dynamic pre-owned market, such as length of time to sell; average asking prices; and cost of maintenance and service (among others). We also learned from the preceding Chart B (top, left) that newer aircraft (1 to 15 years) have accounted for a larger percentage of the ‘For Sale’ aircraft.

Table C (middle, right) is a break out of 2012 transactions by country. The U.S still Aircraft Index see Page 4

JetNet FEB13_PAMA interview November06 21/01/2013 17:24 Page 3

JETNET >>KNOW MORE dominates the world in Pre-Owned transactions with 1,384 (or 63%) of the 2012 total transactions. This stands to reason with the majority of Pre-Owned business jets residing in the U.S. Also of interest is that the US (plus the next 14 highest ranked countries for transactions accounted for 80% of the full retail sale transactions recorded in 2012.

Finally, Table D (bottom, right) combines the For Sale and Full Retail Sale Transactions

by OEM. Of the six OEMs featured, Cessna, Bombardier and Hawker Beechcraft models are above the average of 13.4% percent of the total fleet ‘For Sale’, and Gulfstream, Falcon and Embraer are all below. Further, of the six leading manufacturers HBC (currently in bankruptcy) is the only OEM showing a decrease in Full Retail Sale Transactions (-5.7%) in 2012 compared to 2011.

SUMMARY 2012 was a success for our industry in many ways, and as we have shared with you in this article the Pre-Owned market continues to be very active. Now that 2013 is upon us there is renewed optimism. We hope this trend for the Pre-Owned market along with improvements in the world economy will continue to push more new aircraft purchases for 2013.

For now, we continue to observe a buyer’s market environment with Pre-Owned ‘For Sale’ inventories running at around 13% of the total fleet. We will continue to monitor the industry’s progress and report back in the next JETNET >>Know More column. ❯ For more information: • Michael Chase is president of Chase & Associates, and can be contacted at 1628 Snowmass Place, Lewisville, TX 75077; Tel: 214-226-9882; Web: www.mdchase.com

COMPOSITES IN AVIATION

Composites In Aviation Slow Acceptance Yields to New Progress.

by Dave Higdon omposites – plastics, at their basic - claim a long and productive history in aviation.

Manufacturers used an early Plastic (Bakelite) decades ago, and the earliest fiberglass composites showed up in production aircraft by the late 1930s.

Fiberglass/resin composite structures first came into use in the production of airvent inlets and exits, in the airflow tubing, and in some fairings – parts that benefited from the material’s flexibility, light weight, tensile and bending strength. The path into

primary structures has been a long, arduous, sometimes fractured process.

The first primary composite structure that history recorded came in the form of a composite of Phenolic-reinforced paper which strengthened and lightened the boxbeam main spar for wings for the U.S. Army Air Corps’ PT-19 primary trainer back in the 1930s. Under an Air Force contract during the early war years, planemakers made plastic aircraft seats from combed and carded cotton fibers hardened by impregnating the fibers with a blend of urea and polyester. But even the most-promising materials www.AvBuyer.com

generally start their move into mainstream along more-humble positions.

Fairings and streamlining parts, air vents and gear-door panels – anywhere the mission can be met by lighter materials, composites made inroads. But composites as all primary, secondary and tertiary structures had to wait for the early 1980s to find their place at the table.

Since then the benefits have only improved with each successive generation of composite materials and production technologies. And those advantages underpin ❯ the enduring appeal of composites.

COMPOSITES IN AVIATION

“Compared to the industry’s standard-production aluminum alloys, composites offer multiple advantages”

HOW DO COMPOSITES HELP? The OEM’s interest in applying composites to their production needs comes as part of an industry’s long-running tendency to develop its own improvements. Beyond the previously noted advantages – the superior strengthto-weight traits – come others.

None work, however, unless composite structures are designed and manufactured according to their true properties – and not on the basis of comparisons with aluminum (as happened to the Starship). Compared to the industry’s standard-production aluminum alloys, composites offer multiple advantages, including: • •

• • •

Lighter weight per cubic foot of fuselage space; Thanks to the above, more interior space than aircraft of the same external dimension made of aluminum; Vastly reduced corrosion worries and reduced maintenance; Faster repair times when parts are readily available; Reduced powerplant requirements for like-size composite airframes (thanks to

•

their lighter weight); Lower fuel consumption thanks to those smaller powerplants relative to the size of the aircraft.

Exotica or other ideas about using composites have no bearing on an engineer increasing application of carbon and other fibers used in composite materials. Longterm engineers and inventors remain hopeful for even greater manufacturing efficiencies than are now available.

THE DOWNSIDE OF COMPOSITES Manufacturing aircraft using composite materials requires equipment, tools and processes unneeded by the relatively straightforward processes of bending, forming and riveting metal parts into finished structures. The chemistry of curing resins and resin-impregnated cloth requires greater temperature and climate control, usually that autoclave mentioned earlier, and some form of mold or mandrel over which the cloth, honeycomb stiffening materials, and more cloth are placed for curing in the autoclave. www.AvBuyer.com

Structural sections are typically wrapped in a heat-resistant bag so that the air can be evacuated from the bag before curing in the autoclave – that big oven that cooks parts under added air pressure.

Depending on the type of composite structure, significant metal may still be required to bridge certain needs. Landing gears, for example, may mount to loadbearing composite structures while the gear components themselves are all-metal to no-metal used in some fixed-gear aircraft.

Technology like Beech’s Viper machine helps automate production with the robot’s arm placing resin-impregnated ribbons of carbon-fiber tape over a metal mandrel; honeycomb pieces cut and formed specifically for the part come next, by hand, followed by another layer of robot-placed carbon tape. Then it’s off the mandrel, bag vacuuming, and into the curing process.

Lacking the Viper technology puts most composite-part making back on the footing of hand-placing cloth pieces cut by a laser knife for its specific position; but other ❯ winding processes have been developed.

COMPOSITES IN AVIATION The result is larger, lighter interiors carrying passengers more fuel-efficiently, with reduced maintenance needs and a longer life expectancy. Indeed, Boeing boasts of a 20 percent improvement in passenger-mile fuel efficiency for its 787 model, thanks mostly to the carbon-fiber airframe – both its weight benefits and the gains of aerodynamics more readily executed in “plastics.”

THE PROBLEM OF THE STARSHIP The Starship 2000 still seems somewhat advanced after all of these years... If ever a

about structures? Beef up the structures.

Beefing up structures increases weight, cutting into range… so increase fuel supply.

Increased fuel supply cuts into useful load, climb and speed… And thus the tail-chase continued. Each step required more structure that added more weight, needing more fuel to offset and more power to overcome - and with every addition more hand labor was needed. The carbon-fiber cloths were placed by hand inside female molds before being brushed with the hardening resin, vacuum bagged and baked in an autoclave.

“It would be roomy, quiet, smooth, and offer a cockpit adorned with nearly a dozen computer screens. This truly was an airplane for the future.” game fell victim to a stacked deck, Beech Aircraft Corp’s Starship was one expensive hand to play.

The concept was a novel, but well-conceived canard-and-delta-wing planform designed to make the Starship a true pilots’ aircraft. It would be roomy, quiet, smooth, and offer a cockpit adorned with nearly a dozen computer screens. This truly was an airplane for the future. Yet the cascading of its hurdles doomed the airplane with delay after delay – and each delay seemed to reintroduce a problem previously resolved.

The issues circled repeatedly: FAA doubts

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – February 2013

DOWNSCALE THEN UPSCALE The Starship experience landed far short of an ideal threshold for introduction into certificated composite airframes. Still the aviation industry remained enamored of (if not wedded to) making composites the material of choice. As Beech closed its Starship chapter it was already designing a pair of airframes with composite fuselages – with a wholesale makeover of the manufacturing process.

Elsewhere in the aviation strata a new design vied to become the composite

BEECH STARSHIP

In the end, Beech won certification but not until it lost years of lead-time to a new generation of competitively priced light jets that flew faster on comparable fuel. Costs grew, orders vanished – but the airplane won rave reviews from pilots and passengers alike.

In the end, Beech built only 50 units before not only ending the program but ending support and then aggressively pursuing ownership of all 50 airplanes. The actual number still flying is disputed, but at its highest no more than four are still out there. The remainder of the fleet was quite literally scrapped… www.AvBuyer.com

groundbreaker in the piston-airplane market, widely seen as the segment with the greatest sales potential in units, if not in dollars. Alan and Dale Klapmeier at Cirrus Aircraft shifted their sights toward manufacturing a certificated piston single, the Cirrus SR20, while another kit-maker followed that lead and Lancair refocused its efforts on the Lancair 350 (today, the Cessna Corvalis).

When Raytheon Aircraft succeeded Beech, it resumed composite-aircraft manufacturing with the Premier I and Hawker Horizon.

Both models employed equipment originally acquired to produce the futuristic propjet ❯ Aircraft Index see Page 4

COMPOSITES IN AVIATION most importantly the re-tasked plant building and its huge autoclave. Those facilities supported a new manufacturing technology known as “tow winding” in the fuselage production nearby that autoclave installed in the original Starship plant.

Again, for reasons related less to the materials than other issues, none of these four came to market on-time or on-budget.

Cessna acquired a bankrupt Columbia in 2009 and relocated production to Kansas; Cirrus successfully launched the SR20, then the SR22 and enjoyed strong sales, but it still struggled with business and financial issues that ultimately led to the company’s refinance by a Middle East firm, Arcapita, which in turn sold out to Government of the People's Republic of China through its Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), with CAIGA the managing subsidiary. Neither of the new Raytheon jets sur-

vived the aftermath of the bankruptcy Hawker Beechcraft Corp. filed for.

OF BOEINGS, AND FALCONS, AND LEARJETS, AND… In the intervening years more mainstream planemakers have continued to embrace this most-flexible of building materials for commercial and business aircraft. Today, however, the question more frequently arises: Partcomposite, or all-composite?

For its part, Dassault started incorporating composites into its business jets back in 1979. In the 1980s, Dassault engineers introduced a new carbon composite/cast titanium structure for the horizontal stabilizer on all Falcon models, an innovation that uses onetenth of the parts and one third of the quantity of fasteners but produces an assembly that’s stronger, lighter and less expensive to produce, and easier to maintain than a

conventional aluminum airfoil.

Consider the advances since then, and since the Starship: The Airbus A380; Boeing 787; HondaJet; Learjet 85 – and more to come, Cirrus’ SJ50 and Diamond’s D-Jet included.

The A380 and 787 both sport majority-composite airframes, fuselages and wings, and ditto for the Learjet 85 which is due for first flight and possible delivery this year.

The HondaJet sports a composite fuselage which, with the help of its novel above-thewing strut-mounted engines, delivers significantly more passenger space than any other design in its class of light jets. The Spectrum jets are also designed around the best of composite traits. The trend toward more composites only seems set to continue.

Sikorsky Aircraft and Avion Pacific Ltd. (the sole independent representative for Sikorsky helicopters in China) have sold around 40 helicopters into China over the last 15 years.

Finally, AgustaWestland has delivered two VIP configured AW139s to China’s Quinghai Province. One is fitted with a unique mixed VIP-utility configuration (to be operated in Gulmud, Qinghai province, Western China), and the second will be operated in Chengdu, Sichuan province, Southwest China.

Hongkong Jet has added a fourth ACJ to its managed aircraft fleet, and claims to be the largest operator of Airbus Corporate Jets in the region. The company’s remarkable expansion has seen 12 aircraft added to its operation within the last year. The company has also rapidly developed its maintenance capabilities and AOG support, covering maintenance on aircraft registered in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Singapore and Canada.

In Singapore Bell Helicopter has delivered the first Bell 429 from its new Singapore facility at Seletar Airport. The corporate-configured 429 was delivered to PT Whitesky Aviation in Jakarta, Indonesia. This takes PT Whitesky Aviation’s fleet to five - two 429s and three 407s. The 429 is equipped with a 7,500 increased gross weight (IGW) kit in anticipation of pending IGW approval in Indonesia which essentially doubles the range and permits operators to equip the aircraft with safety enhancements such as the Helicopter Terrain Awareness Warning System (HTAWS).

In Japan AgustaWestland has appointed Mitsui Bussan Aerospace (MBA) as its official distributor for AW169 helicopters there. The agreement includes a commitment to sell 20 AW169s into the Japanese market. With three prototypes already flying and a fourth planned in 2013, the AW169 is on schedule to achieve certification in 2014.

After posting a -2.3% loss in November, business aircraft flying decreased again last month versus a year ago – this time by -2% according to TRAQPak data.

These results again were partially weighed down by the temporary shutdown of Avantair’s turboprop flight operations during the fourth quarter. Results by operational category were mostly negative in December with the exception of Part 135 activity, “finishing strong” with a year-overyear increase of 8.8%. Notably, this marks the third consecutive monthly increase for the charter segment, which took the biggest hit of all operational categories since 2010.

JP Morgan View Used inventories fell 20 bps in December.

Used inventory of in-production models was 10.6%. Inventories have moved in a tight range this year and finished 2012 down only 20 bps from 2011. Heavy jets stabilised in December after a weak November, falling 10 bps, and Medium jet performance was strongest with a 70 bp decline, while Light jets were up 10 bps. ‘Toddler and pre-K’ fleet inventories (aircraft 0-5 years old) increased 20 bps to an estimated 7.9% in November, which was a 100 bp year-over-year increase and a negative signal for new jet demand.

Among JP Morgan’s key observations were the following: • •

•

Average asking price was flattish monthover-month in November.

Prices were down 9% year-over-year, how ever, and fell sequentially in eight of 12 months last year.

Heavy jet prices were up 0.5%

sequentially, while Medium jet prices fell 2.0% and Light jet prices were down -0.2%.

Ultimately, JP Morgan concludes that used pricing is a key indicator of new jet demand, and believes it will be a more coincident indicator of a recovery than inventory.

A 5% increase in business jet deliveries for 2013 is predicted in JP Morgan’s latest monthly business jet report, which predicts that 627 business jets (excluding very light jets) will be shipped this year, compared with an estimated 596 deliveries for 2012.

An accurate total for 2012 will only be known when all the manufacturers report their figures over the coming weeks. If Q4 sales intake at Bombardier is any indication, 2013 could be a good sales year for business jet manufacturers, JP Morgan outlines. Bombardier “generated strong order volume in the fourth quarter,” reporting orders for 124 business jets, boosted by 56 Globals from VistaJet. “But the book-to-bill ratio was 1.13:1, even after netting these [VistaJet orders] out.

“We believe Learjet orders perked up and will be eager to see whether the fourth quarter shored up the near-term outlook for Challengers,” JP Morgan added. Bombardier will report its earnings shortly.

Market Indicators

JETNET View JETNET has released November 2012 versus November 2011, and November 2012 and 2011 year-to-date (YTD) results for the preowned business jet, business turboprop and helicopter markets. Highlighted in the Table are key worldwide trends across all preowned aircraft market sectors, comparing November 2012 to November 2011 as well as November 2012 YTD numbers. The Fleet ‘For Sale’ percentages for all market sectors were down in the November comparisons, with the largest drop in business turboprops, to 8.5% from 9.9% in November 2011.

For Sale inventories continue to decline: • Business jets for sale were at 13.6% (down 0.4 from 14.0%) • Business turboprops for sale were at 8.5% (down 1.4 from 9.9%) • Turbine helicopters for sale were at 6.2% (down 0.6 from 6.8%) • Piston helicopters for sale were at 6.1% (down 0.2 from 6.3%)

ceedingly higher than those of the typical helicopter on the market).

November 2012 YTD Summary Business jets are on a positive pace in 2012, with 5.7% growth YTD in November 2012 in the pre-owned full retail sale transactions and a 1.8% increase in average asking price compared to the same period in 2011. However, other market sectors are not showing similar results.

Other pre-owned aircraft are showing decreasing sale transactions, are taking longer to sell on average, and are at much greater average asking prices compared to the same 2011 period.

Significant is the double-digit increase in turbine helicopter average asking price.

While price increases were evident across the board for all models in this segment in 2012, there were also several models sold with very high asking prices (asking prices ex-

Full Sale Transactions had mixed results: • Business jets were up (5.7%) • Business turboprops were down (-4.4%) • Both turbine (-1.6%) and piston (-4.9%) helicopters were down Average Days on Market at very high levels: • All market sectors have shown increases in Average Days on Market YTD through November 2012, except business jets which took the same number of days on average to sell. Piston helicopters took more than a month (37 days) longer to sell than a year ago Average Asking Prices showed mixed results: • Business jets (+1.8%), business turboprops (+1.5%), and turbine helicopters (+12.0%) increased • Piston helicopters (-0.4%) decreased

GOOD NEWS Real gross domestic product, the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States increased at an annual rate of 3.1% in the third quarter of 2012 (that is, from the second quarter to the third quarter), according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter of 2012, real GDP increased 1.3% and matched the exact same percentage, 1.3%, reported in the 3rd quarter 2011. The “third” estimate of the U.S. GDP is welcome news, and the first time in 2012 that the GDP has exceeded the 3.0% growth mark (when Business Aviation does well).

Banyan Air Service based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport recently completed the second of two Bombardier Challenger 604 aircraft with the Aircell AGT-4000 Gogo inflight internet system. One of the installations included the Aircell Axxess two channel Iridium system, while both aircraft were certified for Wi-Fi in the cabin. The avionics installation was done at the customer’s maintenance base during a minimum maintenance inspection.

“Connectivity continues to be the hottest product in the avionics industry,” said Brian Wilson, Banyan’s director of avionics. “Today passengers are demanding Wi-Fi in the cabin and while some charter operators were quick to see the competitive edge of having Wi-Fi onboard; others are now racing to catch up so that their aircraft are not left sitting on the tarmac.” / More from www.banyanair.com/avionics

Embraer’s Legacy 600/650 program recently reached a significant milestone with the delivery of the 200th aircraft of the Legacy family, a Legacy 650 large executive jet, to China’s Minsheng Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. This was one of the 13 Legacy 650s ordered by MSFL in October 2011, and will be used by an anonymous Chinese customer. As one of the largest financial institutions providing executive jet leasing services in China, MSFL ordered three Lineage 1000 ultra-large executive jets as well. / More from www.embraerexecutivejets.com

The M2 is on track for certification in the second quarter of 2013, and it features the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, and has space for six passengers and a pri-

When you own one of the Tri-Jets, you own the best built business jet In the sky; and the Federal Aviation Adminstration 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.

With efficient space management the Falcon 900 Series aircraft have a larger passenger seating area than the Gulfstream IV. These Tri-Jets weigh 15 tons less and are 22 feet shorter than the Gulfstream IV and provide a more beneficial ramp presence.

The 900EX can speed across the Atlantic with all seats full at 0.84 IMN; and has 300 NM greater range than the Gulfstream IV-SP. Furthermore, the 900EX can fly from London to Kansas City, Buenos Aires to New Orleans and Anchorage to Seoul at 0.75 IMN, with eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves.

Revolutionary and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first purpose built fly-by-wire (FBW) business jet, the Falcon 7X capitalizes on Mach 2 technology. FBW enables a MMO of .90 and enhanced low-speed handling, pitch and roll stability characteristics.

The 7X can climb directly to FL 410 at ISA + 10° conditions.

Two Hundred (200)+ very high speed, ultra long range Falcon 7X business jets have been ordered!

If you are considering the sale or acquisition of your business jet, call 21st Century Jet Corporation today for details before making a decision.
