IntelliJet Stands Out In A Crowd Thousands of companies around the world are involved in corporate aviation in one way or another, but their levels of expertise can vary greatly. On the surface it can be difficult to tell how one consultant differs from the next, but true aviation professionals are in a class by themselves. At IntelliJet International, we have a knack for shedding light on the aircraft that represents the best value – whether on the market or not. But finding the right aircraft is only the first step. Moving a complicated transaction to a successful conclusion requires skillful navigation around the many obstacles that can crop up along the way. Not every sales organization possesses the key disciplines and innovative abilities that may be required. IntelliJet has the expertise and the experience to manage even the most complex situations, such as reconfiguring an interior to fit a client’s particular needs or importing an aircraft from one country to another. So whether you’re searching for your next aircraft or a home for the one you currently own, call us today. When you reflect on the transaction at the end of the day, you will see why so many clients view IntelliJet in a positive light.

VIEWPOINT
Habit Forming by Gil Wolin t was a bright summer day in 1979 ten years into a twopack-a-day smoking habit, acquired during my college years. A small town near Columbus, Ohio was celebrating the anniversary of its founding with a street fair, complete with food vendors, games and a two-mile road race! That would be a piece of cake for this former high school cross-country runner. I’d just lace up the Pumas and swing by the finish line to collect my medal in, oh, about 15 minutes... Suffice it to say that within 300 yards of the start six-year-olds were passing me. Message received, loud and clear – as I wheezed through the last half mile, I knew it was time to change this bad habit. But going from two packs a day to zero would require an incentive greater than avoiding future roadside embarrassment. As Mark Twain said, “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.” I wanted to do it only once. Holding to a commitment like that meant setting a lofty goal, something requiring real dedication and focus. Fortunately Columbus provided that opportunity: the first annual Columbus Marathon, to be run about 15 months later. And “26.2 m iles in thre e ho urs” became my daily mantra. With dedication and daily training (replacing one habit with another) I crossed the finish line the following November in 3:03. By changing one habit, I had beaten a physical and mental addiction. But it wasn’t until reading Charles Duhigg’s new book, The Po w er o f Habit (Random House, 2012), that I understood exactly how that change occurred – or how much our lives, our decisions, are governed by habits, literally thousands of them. According to a 2006 Duke University study cited in the book, more than 40 percent of our daily actions are not free-will decisions, but responses to habits. Habits, it seems, are the result of a threestep process: a cue, which triggers the performance of a routine, which then generates
I

a reward for that performance. It is the desire for the reward – whether a caffeine or nicotine “rush,” praise from a parent or boss, or medal for completing a race – that drives the routine. And after the repeated delivery of that reward in response to the repeated performance of that routine your brain begins to expect the reward. That anticipation becomes a craving, and the cue-routine-reward cycle becomes a habit. And a habit once learned is never forgotten. It can, however, be changed from something detrimental to something constructive by changing the routine performed in response to the cue, which then delivers the same reward. This got me thinking about how much aviation safety depends on habits – on responding to cues without hesitation, without a conscious thought as to how we act, not only in routine flights, but in case of emergency - and how small changes in focus (in habits) can generate huge positive changes in an entire organization. Or an entire industry. By relentlessly focusing on safety, by making unswerving safety consciousness the keystone of the company culture, Paul O’Neill was able to turn Alcoa from a troubled underperformer, rife with union conflict, on-the-job accidents and offering poorquality products, to one of the safest companies in the world – and one of the most profitable. Some habits, like safety-consciousness, are termed “keystone habits,” influencing every aspect of our lives at work and at home; how we eat, play, and relate to each other. As Duhigg explains, “The habits that matter most are the ones that, when they start to shift, dislodge and remake other patterns.” O’Neill chose one habit on which to focus – safety/accident prevention. In doing so, he improved every aspect of Alcoa’s operations existence: ROI, manufacturing efficiency, worker satisfaction, and shareholder return (to learn how, you’ll have to read the book). Habits govern how we operate aircraft – how we dispatch, fly and maintain them, www.AvBuyer.com
and how we provide cabin service and ground handling. Successful habits developed over the last 109 years ensure the safety of both passengers and pilots, and are practiced and drilled into every professional pilot, during every initial and every recurrent training session. And it has been through the continual study of accidents and their causes, that IBAC developed IS-BAO - the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations to institutionalize better habits. The requirement for a Safety Management System helps create new routines to deliver the expanded reward of fewer accidents in the air, on the ground and in the shop. As Terry von Thaden, Assistant Professor of Human Factors at the University of Illinois’ Institute of Aviation observes, “When things go right most of the time you can get into the habit of things going right. Pilots who study emergencies are really ready for them. They’re less complacent.” By studying how we deliver safe air transportation, we create better habits – ensuring that the “cues” automatically provoke the best and safest routine responses, and deliver the ultimate reward – the safe completion of another flight. ❯ Gil Wolin draws on almost forty years of aviation marketing and management experience as a consultant to the corporate aviation industry.

BizAv Round-Up EBACE2012 DEBRIEF
06.12
LEARJET 75
More-or-less on a par with 2011 The 12th Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2012) concluded as one of the strongest EBACE shows yet, demonstrating its value even amidst a challenging European economy. Organizers noted that as the third and final day of the show concluded, 12,638 Attendees had participated, representing 99 countries. Additionally, 491 Exhibitors were on hand, occupying a record-breaking 2,280 booth spaces across Halls 5, 6 and 7 of the Geneva Palexpo convention center. Furthermore, EBACE2012 featured 60 aircraft on its Static Display of Aircraft with a 10-percent increase in ramp space, making it the largestever EBACE Static Display. Next year’s show takes place from May 21- 23.
Airbus’ ACJ318 and ACJ319 have gained EASA, FAA and GACA eligibility for Part 135 operations, while a variant ACJ319 has also gained CAAC eligibility, making it easier for operators to seek and obtain approval to carry fare-paying charter passengers. / More from www.airbus.com
DAHER-SOCATA displayed the new TBM 850 Elite version of its very fast turboprop aircraft at EBACE. Among the aircraft’s key attributes is its unique capability to tailor the passenger cabin to meet operators’ needs. The middle seats can be oriented in forwardfacing position while the rear seats are removable. In about 30 minutes, the TBM 850 can be reconfigured in a four-seat cabin, increasing the luggage volume capacity by three and doubling the maximum luggage weight. / More from www.tbm850.com
Dassault's twin-engine Falcon 2000S is already demonstrating performance figures substantially higher than the capabilities announced when the program was launched on the eve of last year's EBACE. To date, the test aircraft has accumulated more than 300 flight hours in over 130 flights. Low-speed performance will be significantly better than 14

LEARJET 70 & 75 INTRODUCED Bombardier introduced the Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 light business jets at EBACE in a bid to upgrade and replace the Learjet 40 and 45 models. The Learjet 70 & 75 offer improved avionics, engines and a new winglet design. Both will be assembled in Wichita, and provide greater range, more speed, new interior styling, lighter weight and, because of improved fuel efficiency, lower operating costs,
Bombardier says. Each will incorporate Garmin’s Vision Flight Deck (used in all Bombardier business jets) with a synthetic vision system, graphical flight planning, increased situational awareness and reduced pilot workload. The cockpit’s cabin styling will extend into the flight deck and its interior. Both the Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 will achieve ranges greater
targeted figures, including up to a 10% improvement for landing distances. Certification of the 2000S is anticipated by the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. / More from www.dassaultfalcon.com
than 2,000 nautical miles at cruise speeds of Mach 0.75, and with passenger loads of eight pax, each will be able to handle a range close to 1,950 nautical miles. The Learjet 75 will enter service in the first half of next year, followed by the Learjet 70. More than fifty orders, letters of intent and commitments for the 70 and 75 have already been received. / More information from www.bombardier.com
entry-into-service later this year, set two unconfirmed city-pair records en route to Switzerland: one from Dallas to Washington, D.C., and another from Washington, D.C., to Geneva. / More from www.gulfstream.com
Gulfstream’s ultra-large-cabin, ultra-longrange G650 made its first trans-Atlantic crossing on May 12 en route to EBACE in Geneva. The aircraft flew 3,780 nautical miles (7,000 km) squawk-free and nonstop in just 6 hours and 55 minutes. The G650, which is undergoing flight test and certification for entry-into-service later this year, returned to Savannah in support of flight test.

Honda Aircraft is the first manufacturer to announce and demonstrate plans for a new 40/60 display configuration on the Garmin G3000 Primary Flight Displays for the HondaJet. This enhancement provides pilots a more user-friendly visual scan of additional flight information in a concise format that contributes to improved situational awareness and safety. The pilot or co-pilot can select and see more information within a tile that uses 40% of the width of each of the 14-inch wide, high-resolution primary flight displays. Further, Honda unveiled plans for a new Cabin Management System (CMS) and updated production aircraft interior. The new CMS will enable passengers to use a wireless mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone, to view real time flight information and to control the HondaJet cabin's lighting, temperature, music, and window shades for enhanced comfort and productivity.

AMSTAT VIEW
JETNET VIEW
The first quarter “was a mixed bag of results” for the business aircraft pre-owned market, indicating that “recovery still remains elusive,” according to Business Aviation information firm Amstat. “On the one hand, inventories generally continued to contract, but year-on-year transaction activity remained largely unchanged and average asking prices in many parts of the market continued to face downward pressure.” During the first three months, business jet resale retail transactions were largely flat compared with a year ago, with 2.3 percent of the fleet changing hands. On a consecutive quarter-over-quarter basis, transactions slid by 0.2 percentage points. Amstat also noted that the first-quarter performance was below its 20-year average of 2.9 percent. “The lower transaction activity in Q1 versus Q4 is typical of what we see; however, the flat performance versus Q1 2011 was disappointing and further evidence that we are in a transitional phase in the market cycle,” said Amstat executive vice president Tom Benson. The report also highlighted “incremental but continued improvements” in pre-owned aircraft inventory levels. At the end of the first quarter, 13.8 percent of the business jet fleet was for sale versus 14.2 percent in the same period last year. However, Amstat noted, this percentage represents a slowdown in the inventory contraction seen in previous quarters. Average asking prices for light and medium jets have continued to erode, though Amstat has seen “some stability” in large-cabin jet prices.

JETNET has released March 2012 and 1st Quarter 2012 results for the pre-owned business jet, business turboprop, and helicopter markets. “Fleet for Sale” percentages for all market sectors were down in the March comparisons. However, the current “For Sale” percentages and numbers for both business jets and business turboprops are still higher than were recorded before the current downturn began in 2008. Business jet sale transactions increased 5.9% YTD ending March 2012 compared to 2011. Business turboprops decreased 5.4% and both turbine and piston helicopters saw double-digit declines in sale transactions YTD

at 14.5% and 19.5%, respectively. Pre-owned aircraft categories showed increases in average asking price percentages in the YTD March 2012 comparisons to March 2011. Both business turboprops and turbine helicopters have continued to show double digit increases in average asking price since the start of this year. Business jets showed a positive start in the 1st Quarter of 2012, with a 5.9% increase in pre-owned sales transactions, by selling in less time than last year, and with a 7.8% increase in average asking price. However, the other market sectors are not showing similar results. Preowned sale transactions for the other

sectors decreased, taking longer to sell on average, and at much greater average asking prices compared to the same period in 2011. In addition, while the number for sale and percent for sale continue to decline, a comparison of the four years prior to the downturn (March 2005 to March 2008) to the four years since (March 2009 to March 2012) reflect on average nearly 1,000 more business jets and more than 350 business turboprop aircraft. The good news is that business jet forsale inventories are declining, and full sale transactions continue to increase. / More from www.jetnet.com

"I wouldn't exactly call it a disappearing act," says general aviation analyst Brian Foley. "But it's been a significant attrition and not altogether surprising in view of Europe's economic woes. At this rate it may be another year before Europe's fleet can grow again." Over the last 12 months some 50 European business jets, or roughly 2% of the continent's population, have been sold into other continents whose fleets have grown an overall 3%. A commanding 79% of them have found new homes in North America, mostly in the United States and Canada. The rest have gone to Africa (7%), Australia (5%) South America (5%) and Asia (4%). Today's for-sale statistics do not bode well for a prompt recovery. Almost one European business jet in five (19%) is up for sale, which is more than onethird higher than the worldwide average of 14%. Of those exported, their average age of 12
years matches the overall European fleet age exactly, which means that the aircraft being sold are a representative mix of everything in the fleet from old clunkers to the newest, most fuelefficient models. Foley's hypothesis is that the world's preowned jet buyers have been shopping in Europe where the high supply keeps prices down. Another factor is Europe's lowering Euro, which favors outside buyers. "This underscores the seriousness of Europe's crisis," Foley says. "Europe may be the last bastion of great pre-owned airplane deals as owners must sell in this austere climate." Most pundits think that Europe's new-air-
craft sales recovery will lag until its pre-owned inventory diminishes, but Foley disagrees. "There is no cause-andeffect relationship because, generally speaking, new and preowned buyers are totally different groups. Our experience shows that those who buy new will almost invariably continue buying new in order to get the latest model that is truly personalized to their requirements and not 'tainted' by the tastes of a previous owner.” / More from www.brifo.com

Attendees at the National Aircraft Financing Association (NAFA) annual meeting held recently in Savannah, Georgia largely agreed that aircraft financing is “thawing,” but new international banking rules that will start to be phased in next year might make things worse. In an attempt to prevent another financial meltdown like that seen in 2007-2008, the new Basel III global regulatory standards are expected to strengthen bank capital requirements and introduce new regulatory requirements on bank liquidity and bank leverage for all lending institutions, not just banks, with more than $50 billion in assets. “As a result of the new rules,” Citi Private Bank director of global aircraft finance Ford von Weise told attendees, “banks will need to have more capital reserves, which means they’ll either need to raise cash or lend less.” While the new banking rules will not take full effect until 2019, four European business aircraft financiers, including Standard Corporate Jet Financing, have pulled out of the market because of Basel III, according to Corporate Jet Investor’s Alasdair Whyte. Von Weise said “relationship banking” will be key for many aircraft operators that plan to finance an aircraft in the future. Fleet operators and those seeking long-term loans will be less likely to find aircraft financing under Basel III, he noted.

AVBUYER.COM iPAD OWNER’S REVIEW WINNER Thanks to everyone who has reviewed their aircraft for our ‘Owners’ Reviews section at AvBuyer.com. The good news is that we have a winner and we are launching another competition this month to win an iPod Touch. The winner of the iPad competition is pilot, Mr Xavier Marchant from France who wrote about his King Air C90XP (1984). Ratings: Comfort: 4, Value: 5 I started flying the Beechcraft 90 series in 1998. I now fly a 1984 C90XP (original C90A converted to XP with Blackhawk engines, PT6A-135A). These engines are the same ones that come with the newer C90GT and give the old C90A a new boost in performances: 272 Knots TAS at FL220 on a standard day. Max torque can be maintained up to FL190 and gives a solid 1,500 Ft/Min at 150 Kts. Overall this is a very strong aircraft, able to cruise fast (for a turboprop) and high. It can take eight people on board (six for "business class" comfort) over 1,000 nm (if you get the Max gross weight upgrade). The aircraft can also take-off from short and unpaved runways. The minor problems encountered were with the autopilot which can get old and expensive to maintain. Nevertheless, I'd recommend this plane to any pilot as they are safe and easy to fly, and easy to maintain.

AIRCRAFT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS CHALLENGER 605
FALCON 900
Bombardier Challenger 605 by Michael Chase n this month’s Aircraft Comparative Analysis, information is provided on a selection of pre-owned business jets in the $8-24m price range for the purpose of valuing the new and pre-owned Bombardier Challenger 605 aircraft which started delivering in 2006. We’ll consider the productivity parameters - specifically, payload and range, speed and cabin size - and cover current and future market values. The aircraft compared with the Challenger 605 within this study are Bombardier’s Challenger 604, and Dassault’s Falcon 900 and 900C models.

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – June 2012
BRIEF HISTORY Bombardier introduced its Challenger 604 in 1996 as a major upgrade on the Challenger 601 design that incorporated more powerful engines, larger fuel supply, a completely new undercarriage, structural improvements to its wings and tail and a new electronic flight instrumentation system. Ten years later the Challenger 605 was introduced with an avionics and structural upgrade on the 604 design. Structural improvements included larger cabin windows. Cockpit instrumentation was updated with new avionics displays and "electronic flight bag" capability. This model can be visuwww.AvBuyer.com
ally identified by a new, rounded tailcone. Today there are an aggregated 540 Challenger 605 and 604 models in service.
PAYLOAD AND RANGE The data contained in Table A (overleaf) is published in Business & Commercial Aviation’s May 2012 issue, and is also sourced from Conklin & de Decker. A potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The Challenger 605s ‘Available payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 1,535 pounds is more than that of the Challenger 604 at 1,263 pounds and the Falcon 900C at 1,260 pounds. ❯ Aircraft Index see Page 4

The Challenger 605 has two General Electric CF34-3B engines each offering 8,729 pounds of thrust. The Challenger 604 has the same engines and thrust. Meanwhile the Falcon 900 has three General Electric TFE731-5AR1C engines with thrust at 4,500 pounds each. The Falcon 900C has three General Electric TFE 731-5BR-1C engines with thrust at 4,750 pounds each. Using data published in the May 2012 B&CA Planning and Purchasing Handbook and the August 2011 B&CA Operations Planning Guide we will compare our aircraft. The nationwide average Jet A fuel cost used from the August 2011 edition was $6.04 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.) Table B (left), as sourced from the Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) shows the fuel usage by each aircraft model in this field of study. The Challenger 605 and 604 (351 gallons per hour - GPH) are less frugal than the Falcon 900 (345 gallons per hour) and the Falcon 900C (338 gallons per hour).

Challenger 605 at $2,462 per hour is less expensive to operate by 17.1% than the Challenger 604 at $2,970 per hour. Both the Challenger aircraft, however, are considerably less costly to operate on a variable cost basis than either the Falcon 900 or 900C.
PRODUCTIVITY COMPARISONS The points in Chart D (center, right) center on the same group of aircraft. Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in Vref.

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 aircraft are considered the “r” squared factor would equal a number above 0.9. Others may choose different parameters, but serious business aircraft buyers are usually impressed with Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size. After consideration of the Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size we can conclude that the Challenger 605 is competitive with the other aircraft in this field of study. There was a major change in the productivity index from the original Falcon 900 to the Falcon 900C drawing it nearer the Challenger 604. Overall, the Challenger 605 has a slightly smaller cabin volume (by 9%) than its competition, but is considerably less expensive to operate. However, it does burn more fuel, and being a far newer model costs more to purchase. Table C (right) contains the retail prices from the latest Vref edition for each aircraft. The prices shown are for the last year of manufacture listed. The number of aircraft in-operation, percentage ‘For Sale’ and the number ‘Sold’ over the past 12 months are from JETNET. As shown, the Challenger 605 has the lowest percentage of the in-operation fleet ‘For Sale’ at 5.7% (seller’s market). Over the past 12 months the Challenger 605 is showing an average of four sold per month. This sales activity provides many opportunities for the savvy dealer/broker ❯ specializing in the Challenger 605.

CHART E CHALLENGER 605 IN-OPERATION BY CONTINENT
SUMMARY Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the attributes that business aircraft operators value in a jet. There are other qualities such as airport performance, terminal area performance, and time to climb performance that might factor in a buying decision, too, however. The Challenger 605 fares well among its competition, so those operators in this market should find the preceding comparison of value. Our expectations are that the Challenger 605 will continue to do well in the pre-owned market for the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM
A Needed Resource The enlightened Board Member looks beyond the rhetoric that vilifies corporate jets and focuses on serving the company’s travel needs. Without Business Aviation, our nation’s transportation system would be limited and the economy would suffer, notes Jack Olcott. 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.

ecently the New Yo rk Tim es published a front-page article about the loss of regional airline service in the USA. To illustrate the point that travel options between smaller cities are sparse and rarely nonstop, the Times reporter featured a trip between Mobile, Alabama and Cincinnati, Ohio—a distance of 720 miles—that required 12 hours and three stops to complete because the person traveling sought the lowest fare available. Also noted by the NYT reporter was the increase in airfares for flights that originate or terminate in smaller cities.

My travels often require flying between the New York area and mid-America. Direct flights are few to non-existent, and ticket prices are typically higher than the airfare between New York and the major cities in Europe. More significant than price, however, is the lack of business-friendly flights. Schedules typically preclude one-day trips, and often three days are needed to support one full day of meetings. The USA has over 5,000 public-use airports, about ten times the number of locations served by the
Aircraft Index see Page 4
U
Boardroom guide 1 June12_FinanceSept 21/05/2012 15:24 Page 2
What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation scheduled airlines. But over 75 percent of business friendly service is available to less than 50 locations. Often the only efficient way to reach rural America is via business aircraft—either a company aircraft or a charter flight. Certainly Business Aviation provides access to most of mid-America that the airlines are unable to serve. As the Times article illustrated, the traveler who depends solely on scheduled airlines faces considerable travel time and much hassle, whereas a light jet could have flown nonstop between Mobile and the traveler’s ultimate destination near Cincinnati in about two hours, and the aircraft could have carried up to five passengers.
COMPLIMENTARY, NOT COMPETITIVE Business Aviation does not compete with the scheduled airlines. The enlightened company uses the scheduled airlines when the trip can be made efficiently and when there is no need to conduct sensitive discussions with business associates en-route. And they use business aircraft when the objectives of the trip are not well served by scheduled air carriers. In fact, Member companies of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the world’s most active users of business aircraft, purchase billions of dollars-worth of airline tickets annually. Robert Crandall, possibly American Airline’s most prominent former CEO and the originator of many innovations that are still used by airlines today, addressed the 50th Annual Meeting of the NBAA by expressing his pleasure to speak with his best customers. The airlines offer a stellar safety record (as does Business Aviation), and the cost of travel is impressively low. As the result of a business model that focuses on cost rather than customer service, scheduled airlines provide attractive fares to the major hubs throughout the USA. Several decades ago the price of a round trip flight from New York to Los Angeles or San Francisco was several times today’s ticket costs, and that comparison does not consider that “then” dollars were worth considerably more than 2012 dollars. For those city pairs where frequent flights exist, the airlines often are the right business choice. But much business throughout the USA originates in locations removed from the 35 hubs where most airline passengers enplane. Business Aviation provides access to commerce for many more locations throughout rural America than do the scheduled airlines. Nor do the airlines want to provide access to those smaller areas. Even with today’s system of regional airlines that were envisioned to link smaller cities with major hubs, thereby forming a hub and spoke transportation system, the economics of the airline business model is forcing the use of bigger aircraft operating between larger cities, leaving Business Aviation as the effective means of timely travel. Consider Walmart, the retailer that Sam Walton started in 1962 from his home base in Bentonville, Arkansas. From that relatively remote location, Mr. Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
THE ECONOMY DEPENDS ON EFFECTIVE LINKS TO THE RELATIVELY REMOTE REGIONS
Walton used a business aircraft to find sites from which Walmart outlets could serve the needs of consumers throughout rural America. The company is now among the world’s largest public corporations, and its payroll of over 2 million employees is the world’s largest. In part because its fleet of about 30 business jets enables Walmart to connect efficiently with locations throughout the USA and the world, the company is still headquartered in Bentonville. Many people who may never fly in a business aircraft are employed because Walmart uses Business Aviation as one of its transportation resources.
“Business Aviation provides access to commerce for many more locations throughout rural America than do the scheduled airlines. Nor do the airlines want to provide access to those smaller areas.”
ENLIGHTENED POLICY Transportation is a necessity for business development. Without timely, efficient means for dealing with clients, partners and supporting counterparties, business cannot expand and the overall economy suffers. Jobs depend upon businesses being mobile. The airlines and Business Aviation are safe, highly effective and necessary tools of business. Shareholders are well served by Board Members who establish policies incorporating both forms of air transportation. Do you have any questions or opinions on the above topic?

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM
The Changing Character Of Scheduled Air Service With fewer commercial flights to match your needs and a greater likelihood that whatever you discuss or analyze en-route may catch the attention of strangers seated nearby, the need for Business Aviation expands, Jack Olcott observes. hether for business or pleasure, more people traveled on U.S. Scheduled Airlines in 2011 than in the previous year—about 1.3 percent more. While that percentage number may seem small, 1.3 percent of the 637.5 million passengers who flew on domestic airlines last year equates to 8.0 million more travelers. (The increase in passengers between 2010 and 2011 was even greater—something in the order of 11.4 million, or 1.9 percent.)
W
The number of available seat miles supplied by the airlines increased by only 1.1 percent from 2010 to 2011, which was not sufficient to match the increased demand. Therefore, load factor—the percentage of seats occupied divided by the seats available— increased. If you get the impression that airline flights are usually full these days, you are correct. As you can see from the chart entitled U.S. Scheduled Airline Load Factor, aircraft became increasingly more crowded during the last decade. Another trend that affects air travel is the system’s reliance on regional air carriers. Approximately half
of all scheduled flights are flown by regional airlines, mostly with aircraft that accommodate between 50 and 75 passengers. These smaller airliners provide the mainstay of service to and from smaller airports. As can be seen in the chart entitled Retention of Nonstop Service Between 2006 & 2011, non-stop service to and from smaller airports fell by 19 percent. Thus the supply of convenient, business-friendly flights is diminishing. With fewer flights to match the needs of business men and women, and with a greater likelihood that whatever you discuss or analyze en-route may catch the attention of the stranger seated next to you, the need for Business Aviation expands. Select the form of air transportation that best serves your company’s objectives. For many situations Business Aviation—a needed resource—may be your best option.

Selection Of Aviation Services: The Intangibles Continuing his evaluation of tangible and intangible elements that must be considered when selecting aviation services, Pete Agur examines the intangibles of Corporate Culture and Corporate Brand.
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.

usiness aircraft and Business Aviation services can be adjusted and applied in an amazing variety of forms. Line up a dozen identical aircraft belonging to different owners and you will find each firm uses its aircraft very differently. Yet, each company gains its own version of optimum benefit from their diverse aviation services.

CORPORATE CULTURE It starts with corporate culture. Corporate culture is the derivative of what you do, not what you say. Your aviation assets, services and their use policies
should be consistent with your corporate culture and the policies that support it. Business Aviation enhances the vast majority of corporate cultures. It allows your corporate torch-bearers to bring light to many more locations in a much shorter time and with greater effectiveness than any other mode. Why? Most enterprises have a small dynamic team of leaders. Getting them out and about, individually or in teams, makes business happen. Commercial travel alternatives are a constraint. Business Aviation creates the freedom that key people U need to create maximum impact.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM But, the image of using Business Aviation still causes some concerns. What does it say to the rest of the organization? What does it say to your stakeholders? Is it seen as a royal barge or is it a tool? Consider: The leaders of an enterprise are the primary deal makers. The more they travel, the more deals they can do. Our study of clients show that (as compared to commercial alternatives) business aircraft allow busy executives to redirect at least 6% of their annual hours of employment from travel to work. That is a huge benefit to the entire organization.
“The problem you create by not allowing these activities to be part of your brand is you are not accruing good will as it relates to Business Aviation services.”
For most companies, Business Aviation services represent a smaller portion of the annual budget than personal cars do. Putting this situation into perspective, a union shop steward for one of the big three auto makers once told me his thoughts on his company’s executive aircraft fleet: “I’m glad they have them. The more they travel, the more deals they can make. And that lets us build more cars and trucks.” He understood the culture and function of his business and how aviation services support both.
CORPORATE BRAND If corporate culture is the banner under which you assess intangible Business Aviation issues internal to the company, “brand” is your basis for looking at intangible public issues. Continuing with the automotive theme, just like your car, your plane says a lot about you and your company. That is one of the reasons many CEOs have such strong opinions about which aircraft their companies will use… or not use. But business aircraft have a much larger impact on brand than “ramp presence.” During the 1970s and 1980s, it was common to put company logos on the tails of aircraft. Today, primarily for security reasons, the vast majority of aircraft display no corporate identity. In fact, some companies are not satisfied with an aircraft that allows them to travel incognito. They have opted for color schemes and tail numbers that lead most observers to assume the aircraft is a factory demonstrator or belongs to someone else. That kind of misdirection manages brand identification with the aircraft itself. But what about managing brand behavior? The press loves to tell stories of company aircraft abuses. After all, it’s sexy and it sells. It sells especially well if the abuse appears either indefensible or there is no existing good will to offset the allegations. That is why you should proactively manage the branding impact of your aviation services. The use of Business Aviation services allows you to do more business in more places. That is a huge benefit to the communities within your reach, which has a positive effect on your brand. That is the traditional public side of Business Aviation. But, there is a side of Business Aviation use that is kept very private when maybe it should not be - humanitarian use.

IS BUSINESS AVIATION APPLAUDED BY YOUR SHAREHOLDERS ?
Most companies allow their business aircraft services to be used for humanitarian missions. Whether it is for the Corporate Angel Network (or others like it) or hurricane, tornado, or earthquake relief, Business Aviation services are used every day to support others. Yet, most companies avoid public exposure for their Good Samaritan acts. The reasons for keeping a low public profile for such generosity range from simply wanting to remain anonymous to fearing a flood of requests. The problem you create by not allowing these activities to be part of your brand is you are not accruing good will as it relates to Business Aviation services. That good will establishes a basis for dialogue if and when you are publicly challenged about your Business Aviation services. I contend you should deliberately roll your Business Aviation services into your brand strategy. Anyone who has bought a car or an airplane realizes there are often overriding intangible components in making the final decision. Since there are numerous “buyers” (financial, user, operator, etc.) in the aircraft services selection process, the intangible side has some nuances that can have critical influences on the end decision. Considering your culture and brand can make that decision even better. Do you have any questions or opinions on the above topic? Get them answered/published in World Aircraft Sales Magazine.

Navigating The “C” Suite Finalizing an aircraft purchase involves approvals at several levels. Gone are the days when all that was needed was a slap on the back and a friendly nod by someone on Mahogany Row, observes Jay Mesinger.
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 Advisory Board. Mr. Mesinger can be contacted at jay@jetsales.com
he process for acquiring a business aircraft reflects the growing acceptance of Business Aviation as an established resource for a company with sophisticated travel needs. Similar to evaluating other capital equipment, the decision to obtain a multimillion dollar company aircraft is done with painstaking deliberation and consideration. The justification process and discussions about value added are exacting.
T
Complex tax and regulatory standards also add a new dimension of detail. Optics being what they are today, the need for penetrating due diligence by the Board has never been higher. Usually the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as requested by the Board, leads financial modeling and projections of benefits derived from the mission profile. Costing methodology as well as tax treatment for the purchase is at the direction of the CFO. Assumptions and projections are vetted for accuracy and authenticated for meeting specific corporate needs. While the CFO may not be the final authority, the findings of the CFO and Staff are pivotal to the final decision-maker.
FROM CFO TO CEO What happens next is often a hand-off to the office of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This is, in many cases, where the rubber meets the road— where the final questions are asked and buying priorities are discussed. This debate tends to be less about financials (since that piece of the process has already been developed) and is more focused on the specific aircraft. Decisions are needed regarding key issues such as how the aircraft will be equipped to provide maximum efficiency for passengers while traveling

(i.e., the broad issue of “connectivity”), where the aircraft will be based, and which areas of the firms will have access to the equipment. Particularly with long-range business aircraft that are capable of being aloft for 12 or more hours, the ability to work while traveling is ever-more critical. U Aircraft Index see Page 4

“ The acquisition process touches many levels of decision makers. Each executive and analyst adds value and justification management to the final decision, and each contributes according to his/her specific job title.”
Passengers need a communication bridge between the aircraft and their home office as well as their clients. Furthermore, passengers need to arrive at a destination rested and informed so as to be able to hit the ground running upon landing in what may be a far off and unfamiliar destination. That capability is of utmost importance to the CEO. Work station seating and berthing seats are all very important priorities for the CEO as well as other passengers. Please do not think for even a moment that the input of the CEO in this process should be considered non-essential. In fact, for this ‘office-inthe-sky’ to be of high value to the company, the business day must not end when the aircraft door closes and the flight begins.
LINES OF RESPONSIBILITY So as we look at the different levels of decision making within the company, we see distinct lines
60

of responsibility. The acquisition process touches many levels of decision makers. Each executive and analyst adds value and justification management to the final decision, and each contributes according to his/her specific job title. The Board starts the discussion and directs the CFO to build the financial model of the acquisition. Once that piece is produced and findings presented to the Board, the CEO is engaged to add the ‘office-in-the-sky’ components to the process. The CEO typically makes the presentation to the Board for final sign off and purchase authority. The CEO is the person who takes final responsibility for asking the Board to approve the purchase. Once all sectors have been engaged and have provided their respective conclusions, the wheels go up and the value begins! Do you have any questions or opinions on the above topic?

Aircraft Reliability (And Availability) Part of a business aircraft’s value is that it flies on your schedule, observes David Wyndham. If the aircraft is not available for service, cannot fly due to a mechanical problem or is significantly late departing, its value is compromised. The terms reliability and availability measure how well the aircraft satisfies transportation needs. 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
eliability, or more precisely Disp atch Reliability, is defined as the percentage of departures that leave within a specified period (typically 15 minutes) of a scheduled departure time. Is the aircraft ready to fly when scheduled? Ninety-eight percent reliability is a standard that many business aircraft operators achieve.
R
Availability is defined as the percentage (typically measured in days per year) when the aircraft is ready for dispatch. Time spent in the shop either for scheduled maintenance or for an unscheduled (unexpected) event that requires special attention

detracts from the aircraft’s availability. Due to many factors, aircraft availability typically is less than dispatch reliability. If an aircraft does not make its scheduled departure, what is the reason? Weather, Air Traffic Control (ATC) delay, crew delay or maintenance delay? Weather and ATC are beyond your control, but the other two should be at - or very near - to zero.

BUSINESS AVIATION AND THE BOARDROOM safety, and in some cases in order to comply with Federal Air Regulations. Pushing the crew beyond these limits is not a good idea and may be illegal. But, the crew is responsible for keeping you informed of this limit and for making other arrangements if needed. If your crews are routinely running out of allowable duty time, do you need to augment them with an extra pilot? It is not uncommon for global business jets to fly with three pilots on very long missions. Sometimes, an intermediate stop is needed to swap out crews. These situations should be planned for well in advance.
DISPATCH RELIABILITY Dispatch reliability should be at or near to 100%. Can you remember the last time your car didn’t start? Neither can I… While the aircraft is a much more complex machine, the level of maintenance it receives should ensure reliable operation.
“ If the aircraft breaks more often than rarely, do you need to replace the aircraft, get better training for the maintenance team or find another maintenance vendor? “
A few years ago, an Aviation Manager and client of ours related this anecdote: He was called downtown to report to a Senior VP. When he arrived, the VP was irate. His flight was cancelled the day prior to its scheduled departure due to a maintenance issue. In other words, the aircraft was not available for the mission. To make matters worse, this was the second time in less than a year that it had happened. Fortunately, our Aviation Manager was well armed with information and was able to show that the Senior VP happened to have the unfortunate distinction of being on the only two trips in the
past two years where the aircraft was unavailable due to unscheduled maintenance. A key to maintaining both aircraft availability and dispatch reliability is the quality and timeliness of the maintenance. If the aircraft breaks more often than rarely, do you need to replace the aircraft, get better training for the maintenance team or find another maintenance vendor? Aircraft manufacturers are seeking ways to better monitor and predict the upcoming maintenance requirements without increasing maintenance costs by replacing or overhauling components that still have sufficient, safe operating life remaining. One area that is relatively new for business aircraft is in-flight condition monitoring. Numerous operating parameters are measured, collected and reported to a maintenance analysis facility. The purpose is to correlate changes in the data with maintenance issues. The goal is to reduce unscheduled maintenance and possibly generate data that can extend inspection intervals, thus increasing aircraft availability and dispatch reliability. This sort of data collection requires the cooperation of the aircraft owner and operator. The payoff may not be immediately obvious as it takes time to collect and analyze much of the data. If your aviation department has the opportunity to install and use such equipment, however, it may reduce surprises and be a worthwhile, long-term investment.

New IRS Guidance: Aircraft management fees subject to transportation excise taxes A recent memorandum issued by the Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service potentially has significant ramifications for companies using the professional services of aircraft management companies. Attorney Keith Swirsky examines the issue for Boardroom readers. Keith G. Swirsky is a tax specialist and President of GKG Law. He may be reached via email: kswirsky@gkglaw.com
O
n March 9, 2012 the IRS Office of Chief Counsel released a Chief Counsel Advice memorandum (CCA) in which the IRS concluded that, with respect to aircraft operations conducted under FAR Part 91, control of an aircraft’s pilots is a primary factor in determining which party has “possession, command and control” of an aircraft for purposes of imposing transportation excise taxes imposed under Internal Revenue Code Section 4261 (FET). Based on the facts described in the CCA, the IRS determined that virtually all fees and reimbursements paid by an aircraft owner to its aircraft management company, for flights conducted under FAR Part 91, are subject to Federal Excise Tax (nominally 7.5 percent) when the aircraft management company
66

has primary control of the aircraft’s pilots, among other things. In the July and August 2011 issues of World Aircraft Sales Magazine we explained the law concerning Federal Excise Taxes as well as the IRS’ audit position. Since that time, the only substantive change that has occurred is that the pace of IRS audits of aircraft management companies has accelerated and now, of course, auditors can refer to the CCA as their mandate. To date, however, we are aware of no court decisions that have been rendered in suits pertaining to disputed audits. Prior to the issuance of the CCA, IRS auditors relied on rulings issued by the IRS since the 1950s containing facts and analysis that are generally more pro-

“To make matters worse, IRS auditors are asserting that the conclusion reached in the CCA is retroactive to all open tax years.”
taxpayer than the CCA position. As a result of the recent CCA memorandum, however, it is likely that a substantial majority of IRS auditors, who generally have limited experience auditing aircraft management companies, will commence such action with the bias that management fees (and other reimbursements) paid by an aircraft owner to an aircraft management company are subject to FET. To make matters worse, IRS auditors are asserting that the conclusion reached in the CCA is retroactive to all open tax years. If the IRS imposes FET on amounts collected by management companies for past years, the financial burden on management companies will be very harsh and the effects of this will reverberate throughout the Business Aviation community.
OVERREACTION From our perspective, it appears that the IRS is overreaching with its conclusions in the CCA. The memorandum states that a management company has possession, command and control of an aircraft where it “exercises virtually all decision making with regard to the operation and maintenance of the aircraft” and where “the operational authority that the owner exercises over the aircraft is limited to selecting flight destinations.” Aircraft management companies typically provide aircraft owners with comprehensive services for a fee and receive reimbursements from owners for coordinating third party vendor services. Despite the fact that many management agreements are drafted with an explicit statement that “the management company is an independent contractor, and not the agent of the owner,” this provision is normally drafted to reflect state law considerations, and does not reflect the actual relationship of the parties. Notwithstanding standard language in management agreements designed to ensure compliance with FAA regulations, to provide liability protection and to address non-tax commercial law objectives, as a practical matter a management company acts solely at the
68
WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – June 2012
www.AvBuyer.com
direction and control of an aircraft owner. A typical aircraft management agreement may generally be terminated on very short notice in the event the owner is dissatisfied with the services provided by the management company. It is our strong position that the IRS does not understand the practical relationship between a management company and an aircraft owner. Based on the standards articulated in the CCA, the IRS is likely to assert an FET liability under a traditional management relationship despite the existence of this principal-agent relationship between an aircraft owner and the management company. The National Business Aviation Association and the National Air Transportation Association are working with both the IRS and Congress to resolve these issues. Until such time as these issues are resolved, it is prudent for aircraft management companies and owners to modify their agreements to clarify the role of the management company as the agent of the owner and to emphasize the substantial control the owner has over the day-to-day management and operations of the aircraft. It is essential that the parties address the issues identified in the CCA memorandum and prior IRS rulings that support the conclusion that an aircraft owner has possession, command and control of its aircraft. In addition to the foregoing, an aircraft owner should consider paying third party vendors directly to minimize amounts paid by the owner to the management company. While there is no guarantee that the IRS could not assess FET on such amounts, it is certainly a “belt and suspenders” approach that may lower the amount that is potentially subject to the FET in the event of an adverse tax audit assessment. We will continue to update readers upon future developments regarding this important subject. Do you have any questions or opinions on the above topic?

‘PUNC’: Your Checklist For Insurance Coverage ‘PUNC’ (Pilots, Use, Named Insured and Contracts) is an acronym capturing the four most important areas of aviation insurance that result in the largest percentage of claims denials, asserts Stuart Hope. This month, we review the Usage Clause. 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

n 2005, a Challenger 600 ran off the departure end of New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport (TEB) at a ground speed of about 110 knots; smashed through an airport perimeter fence; carried across a six-lane highway (where it struck a vehicle) and into a parking lot; before impacting a building. The two pilots were seriously injured, as were two occupants in the passing automobile. The cabin aide, eight passengers, and one person in the building received minor injuries. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and post-impact fire. According to the NTSB, contributing to the accident was the operator’s conduct of charter flights without proper Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification--perilous words from an insurance perspective. Technically a Part 91 non-commercial operator was conducting a Part 135 charter flight. Many aircraft owners allow friends to use their aircraft provided they are reimbursed at an agreedupon rate. Others dry lease their aircraft to affiliate companies on a per-hour basis. Such owners should pay particular attention to the following discussion.
THE USAGE CLAUSE One of the least understood (and therefore most dangerous) clauses in an aviation insurance policy is the Approved Use clause. This provision spells out exactly what use [Commercial or Non-Commercial] the insurance carrier has agreed to cover. The corresponding definition of the agreed-upon Use will also detail the “compensation” an aircraft owner may receive for the operation of his/her aircraft. Particularly with respect to aircraft written for Non-Commercial use, the allowable reimbursement can vary widely. Let’s look at the variations as they relate to the above accident.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND AND ADHERE TO THE ‘APPROVED USE’ ON YOUR INSURANCE POLICY ?
‘PLEASURE & BUSINESS’ Non-Commercial Approved Use clauses are often worded differently by different insurers. The most basic and restrictive clause reads: “Pleasure & Business,” which means used in the business of the Insured including personal and pleasure, but excluding any operation for hire or reward. Cost

“ Why are insurers so focused on commercial vs. noncommercial? Because in the eyes of the law, an entity engaged in a commercial operation owes a much higher standard of care to the general public.”
reimbursement shall be included within the definition of Pleasure and Business, provided that such cost reimbursement is limited to:
Insured for any purpose involving a charge intended to result in financial profit to such Insured unless otherwise indicated herein.”
(1) (2)
Fuel, oil, lubricants and other additives Travel expenses of the crew, including food, lodging and ground transportation (3) Hangar and tie-down costs away from the aircraft’s base of operation (4) Insurance obtained for the specific flight (5) Landing fees, airport taxes and similar assessments (6) Customs, foreign permit, and similar fees directly related to the flight (7) In-flight food and beverages (8) Passenger ground transportation (9) Flight planning and weather contact services (10) An additional charge equal to 100% of the expenses listed in subparagraph (1) of this paragraph.
This allows full reimbursement of operating expenses provided the charge isn’t intended to result in financial profit. Again, there would have been no coverage under our case example with this usage clause, since it was flown as a commercial charter.
Note that the clause excludes any operation for hire or reward. In other words, any exchange of goods or services (whether a case of your favorite wine or a week at a friend’s vacation home) violates the terms of the policy.
In our case example, this is the only clause that might have validated coverage under the policy regarding the cited charter operation by a Part 91 operator. Note, however, that the FAA prohibits flights for hire or reward unless the operator holds a Part 135 certificate. Thus be assured that your coverage does not become invalid if your flight department inadvertently violates the Federal Air Regulations.
You may calculate the per hour operating cost of your aircraft including reserves for maintenance, engine overhaul, insurance & hangar expense, etc., and apply this figure when seeking reimbursement for aircraft usage. With the above usage clause, however, reimbursement is strictly limited to the cost of the items listed above (the most significant being twice the cost of fuel, oil, lubricants and other additives for the flight). That’s it. Any reimbursement in excess would void the usage clause. In our case example, this clause would have been a basis for claim denial.
KNOWLEDGE & CONSENT The next consideration is a more liberal wording of the usage clause regarding reimbursement: “The Policy shall not apply to any Insured while the aircraft is being used with the knowledge and consent of such
72

Why are insurers so focused on commercial vs. noncommercial? Because in the eyes of the law, an entity engaged in a commercial operation owes a much higher standard of care to the general public. The courts will hold the commercial operator [and therefore the insurance company] much more liable than a non-commercial operator.
ALL OPERATIONS OF THE NAMED INSURED This broadest usage clause is normally reserved for an insurer’s best non-commercial corporate flight departments. It allows maximum flexibility on reimbursement for aircraft operations. If you can get it, this is the one you want.
Remember ‘PUNC’, our recommended checklist. The importance of the Usage clause cannot be overstated. I strongly urge you to call your aviation insurance broker and review exactly what your clause states. Be sure to communicate to your flight department precisely what is allowable and thus insured. It may seem like splitting hairs at times, but I assure you it won’t after a loss. Next month we’ll address the “N” - Named Insured - in PUNC.

Drop Right In: Helicopters work like nothing else Choice dominates every level of our lives. Variety within aviation is largely solution-driven: we pick aircraft matched to as many of our needs as possible, and thanks to the helicopter, that includes the need to launch and land vertically (for convenience or space reasons), and even hang suspended in mid-flight. ecent arrivals to the aviation community often express amazement at the huge variety within the aircraft fleet. The helicopter delivers variety that fulfills a myriad of missions.
R
When Paul Cornu piloted the first helicopter in 1907 the world was only beginning to awaken to the reality of flight. Cornu’s dual-rotor ship failed, as did subsequent efforts (with one or two rare exceptions). In the U.S. in 1942, however, pilot and engineer Igor Sikorsky put the first commercially successful helicopter into full production. He built 131 aircraft the first year. The helicopter world embraced this innovation as the helicopter solution which, with very few
74

exceptions, is at it remains today. The singularity of the helicopter is down to its merger of thrust creation and lift creation into one device: the main rotor. The blades overhead become stronger and stiffer thanks to centrifugal force; once up to speed the rotor blades serve as the lifting surface, just as a pair of wings does for a fixedwing aircraft. Helicopters also move about the horizontal axis on the thrust produced by those same horizontally rotating blades. In fact, some claim helicopters parallel the bumble bee, a hybridization of engineering resulting in an amazing ability to move straight up or down, left, right, forward – even back, simultaneously defying logic and the precepts of gravity.

What the Boardroom needs to know about Business Aviation
NO RUNWAY, NO PROBLEM As with many elements of aviation, military service preceded the spread of rotary aircraft to personal and business use. However, it took the business community little additional time to embrace the helicopter’s potential. Companies have integrated helicopters into logging and fishing; they use helicopters to deliver engineers and surveyors to otherwise inaccessible terrain, or to shuttle people and supplies between shore and off-shore energy platforms (and much, much more) all owing to their unique abilities. Of course, the various manufacturers design and outfit their aircraft tailored to specific jobs. As with picking the correct fixed-wing aircraft, choosing the proper helicopter for your needs entails answering questions about need and use.
THE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE Those traits the Army found attractive help deliver executives quickly and securely between airports and offices, eliminating cars and traffic delays where the users enjoy access. Whether from a rooftop heliport or a ground-level facility, the helicopter makes short work of long drives out of busy cities, or from any city to remote development sites. The helicopter offers an excellent platform for scouting real estate locations for development or investment, thanks to its ability to slow to (almost) a stop while circling one location: a trait that law enforcement finds essential. Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
The weakest aspects of helicopters (among many attractive traits) involve their cross-country capabilities. First, helicopters aren’t particularly fast, generally cruising in the same range as a piston-powered single-engine fixed-wing aircraft (150 knots to 175 knots). Second, they mostly offer limited range, with anything over 400 nautical miles relatively rare. Nevertheless, the market offers an excellent variety, from small piston-single helicopters seating two and four, to turbine-engine singles, twins and triples which excel at lifting large loads for several hundred miles.
“As with picking the correct fixed-wing aircraft, choosing the proper helicopter for your needs entails answering questions about need and use.”
Ultimately, whether a helicopter matches the needs of your corporation all depends on what you need in terms of corporate travel. If a helicopter does fill the requirement, you can rest assured there’s a suitable model available to match that need.

GAMA FIRST QUARTER 2012 SHIPMENT ANALYSIS
GAMA First Quarter 2012 Shipment Analysis Good news and bad news tempered on closer inspection. by Mike Potts igns of a looming recovery that I had expected to see reflected in the first quarter 2012 shipment report of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association were sadly absent. Instead of an upturn, the general trend was negative, with total shipments and billings both down from a year ago. More disappointing, almost all of the weakness came in the jet market, which was down by 4.7 percent from a year ago at 122 units, compared with 128 in the first quarter of 2011. Piston sales were down 2.1 percent at 184 deliveries, off from 188 the year before. Turboprops were reportedly up by 3.3 percent, from 61 to 63, but even this bright spot was tempered by a closer look at the numbers. GAMA added deliveries from a new turboprop manufacturer – Thrush Aircraft – to this quarter’s report totals, and it turns out the gain were entirely due to increased Thrush sales over last year. Counting just the turboprop builders that reported in previous years, deliveries were down 1.8 percent from 56 to 55. Although the good news (such as it was) was tempered by a closer look at the numbers, so, too, was the bad news. On balance, things may be better than they initially appear. While it is hard to feel good about a jet market that continues to trend downward, there were signs in the jet market totals to suggest that things may, in fact, be starting to turn around. More jet makers had equal or improved results in this latest quarter than lost ground. Moreover, the stagnation that gripped the low-end of the jet market throughout last year may be

starting to pass. There was also some encouragement hiding in the piston numbers. Specifically, much of the weakness was in piston twins – a segment of the market that seems to march to its own drummer. Single-engine piston deliveries (which have historically provided a more accurate barometer of industry health and pending recovery) were actually 4.4 percent ahead of last year at 167 units, up from 160. It’s not a huge improvement, but it is, nonetheless, a gain in a segment that seemed to be in freefall throughout much of last year. GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce acknowledged a mixed performance across the industry segments and cited concerns over “the lack of available financing around the world.” But he believes reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank by the U.S. government could help to revitalize the manufacturing sector. It could stand some revitalization. One long-standing member of our industry – Hawker Beechcraft – was forced into bankruptcy since the last GAMA report. On May 3, 2012 Hawker Beechcraft filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, allowing it to continue to operate while reorganizing finances. Hawker Beechcraft did not report its delivery numbers in time to be included in GAMA’s year-end industry summary in late February. Instead it reported them on March 16 after filing its 10K annual financial report required by the U.S. Government. Thereafter, GAMA issued a revised report and the year-end results changed only slightly based on the new information. The biggest difference came in total www.AvBuyer.com
billings, which had previously shown an upturn of 0.4 percent, but in fact proved be a downturn of 0.4 percent – from $19.7 billion in 2010 to $19.6 billion last year. Looking on the bright side, the industry still finished 2011 with a total of 703 jet deliveries – well above the 600 total that some observers had thought the market would be lucky to exceed last year. With the bankruptcy filing behind it, Hawker Beechcraft did issue first quarter delivery numbers in time to be included in the current GAMA report.
THE JET MARKET Looking at the specifics of the most recent quarter’s jet deliveries, Cessna has jumped in to an early lead in the race for this year’s most prolific business jet builder with 37 units. This is an improvement of more than 19 percent above the 31 jets Cessna delivered in the first quarter of 2011, making it one of three manufacturers with better GAMA jet totals than a year ago. The other companies with improved deliveries were Dassault and Embraer. Perhaps more important than Cessna’s totals was where the gains came in its product lines… the lower-end. This recession has had its biggest impact on the lower-tomiddle end of the jet market – where Cessna’s products are mostly grouped, as ❯ Aircraft Index see Page 4

GAMA FIRST QUARTER 2012 SHIPMENT ANALYSIS are Hawker Beechcraft’s jet offerings. As a result, this downturn has hit these two companies proportionately harder than some of the other manufacturers. This quarter, Cessna saw major improvement in the sales of its three CitationJet models, with deliveries up 61 percent (21 units compared with 13 last year). This, I believe, represents a significant indicator that something good is starting to happen in the jet market. Finishing a distant second in jet deliveries for the quarter was Bombardier, with a total of 29 units - down almost 31 percent from the 42 it enjoyed a year ago. In recent years Bombardier has been the leader in business jet billings by a fairly wide margin, but this quarter’s sales slump landed the OEM in second place for billings, with $818.5m. Gulfstream led the jet billings with just under $861m, in spite of reporting five fewer units than last year. However, the 19 deliveries Gulfstream reported this quarter only put it in third place behind Bombardier in terms of units. The Gulfstream total compares with 24 last year, but GAMA notes that the criterion for defining a Gulfstream delivery has changed, effective in this quarter. [A Gulfstream jet is no w rep o rted as d elivered w hen it is “o utfitted ” rather than w hen it is d elivered “green” fro m the facto ry. The m echanics o f this change had the effect o f red ucing Gulfstream ’s rep o rted d elivery to tal, as a few aircraft that w o uld have been reco rd ed as d eliveries in the o ld system w o uld still have been in the co m p letio n p ro cess und er the new rep o rting criterio n. Rep o rted ly, und er the o ld system , Gulfstream ’s to tal this q uarter w o uld have been 26.] Dassault came third in jet billings with $664 million, and finished fourth in total deliveries with 15 units (up from nine last year). Embraer was fifth in delivery totals with 13 units, up from eight a year ago. That’s a gain of 62.5 percent, and, like Cessna, Embraer’s increase came in the lower-end of its product line where it recorded 12 deliveries of its Phenom 100 and 300 series, compared with six in this grouping last year. That’s further evidence that the drought in the lower-end of the jet market is beginning to break. Elsewhere in the jet market, Hawker Beechcraft reported six jet deliveries, down from 11 a year ago. Improvements in the low-end of the market didn’t extend to Hawker Beechcraft either, which made no Premier 1A deliveries. All of the Hawker Beechcraft deliveries were in its top-end Hawker 900XP and Hawker 4000 series. At the very top end of the business jet

CITATIONJET DELIVERIES WERE UP 61% OVER LAST YEAR, REPRESENTING SOMETHING GOOD IN THE JET MARKET
market, results were neutral for the airlinerbased market entries. Airbus reported two units while Boeing reported one (both companies had the same total a year ago). GAMA did observe that Boeing also delivered an executive-configured 747 during the quarter, however. If we count Boeing’s extra delivery (GAMA doesn’t), then four of the eight business jet manufacturers enjoyed a better quarter this year than last. And if we count Gulfstream in the plus column, based on its traditional reporting method, then a majority of the jet makers are ahead of last year’s 1Q report. Along with renewed strength in the lower-end of the market, I can actually see reasons for optimism.
THE TURBOPROP MARKET In the turboprop segment there is again evidence that things are looking up. Five of the eight traditional turboprop builders reported equal or better results than a year ago. Perennial market leaders Cessna and Hawker Beechcraft both recorded improved results this quarter. Hawker Beechcraft led the market with 18 deliveries (up from 16 last year). Cessna was in second place, but up two units over a year ago. Between them, Cessna and www.AvBuyer.com
Hawker Beechcraft accounted for almost 62 percent of all turboprop deliveries. This, however, is likely to change henceforth. GAMA has added two new turboprop manufacturers as of this report: Air Tractor, based in Olney, Texas and Thrush Aircraft of Albany, Georgia. Both specialize in agricultural aircraft and have common roots. The totals in the latest GAMA report include eight Thrush units (which, by the way, is an increase over the five aircraft the company delivered in the first quarter of 2011 - the 2011 Year-End GAMA report was amended to include Thrush deliveries from that year, when the company delivered a total of 35 units). Also listed in the current GAMA report are 46 first quarter deliveries from Air Tractor, including 45 turboprops and one piston model. These have not been incorporated in the report totals at this time, but presumably will be in future reports. Among the remaining traditional turboprop manufacturers, all reported deliveries in the single-digit range. Piper reported six, down one from a year ago. Pilatus and Socata were tied with five each. Socata matched its total from a year ago while Pilatus was down from eight. Pacific Aerospace had three, as it did a year ago, ❯ Aircraft Index see Page 4

GAMA FIRST QUARTER 2012 SHIPMENT ANALYSIS while Quest had two, also matching its 2011 first quarter result. Piaggio made no first quarter deliveries - a one-unit reduction from a year ago. In summary, then, the business turboprop market appears to be performing much as it did last year. It is poised for recovery with some signs starting to trend that way, but is clearly still mired in the recession.
THE PISTON MARKET: SINGLES The state of the piston market is about the same. Single-engine piston deliveries are slightly ahead of last year at 167 units, compared with 160 in the first quarter of 2011. Of nine active manufacturers, five have increased sales while four are down. Cessna leads the pack with 50 units, up by eight from the 42 it reported in the same period last year. That’s actually a 19-percent increase, but on such a small number of units that it’s not too meaningful. Cirrus is next with 45, down from 61 last year. That’s a 26-percent reduction, but again the numbers are small and it wouldn’t take much to turn the trend around. Diamond was third with 28, up 10 from last year, but the increase was offset by a downturn in twin deliveries so they are likely not celebrating too hard. Piper was a close fourth with 25 units – closer than they’ve come to capturing the third position in single-engine sales for some time. Piper’s total was up 10 units from last year, which represents an increase of 66 percent. Piper’s performance comes in the wake of a strong showing in all four quarters last year, so there probably are smiles in Vero Beach right now. All the remaining piston manufacturers delivered in the single-digit range.
THE PISTON MARKET: TWINS The small increase in single engine deliveries was more than offset by piston twin sales, which were off 39 percent from last year. Diamond, which has led this market
THE KING AIR C90GTx LED THE CHARGE AS HAWKER BEECHCRAFT TOPPED THE TURBOS
ever since introducing the DA42 Twin Star in 2006, reported just eight deliveries, down from 19 a year ago. Hawker Beechcraft was off from five to three, while Piper was the only builder with a modest increase from four units to six. Combined, that saw the piston twin market down 39 percent, from 28 units to 17 but again, the numbers are small so it won’t take a very big turnaround to put this segment back in positive figures again. As I noted at the beginning, this report

was a disappointment. With corporate profits high, the U.S. stock market starting to approach record levels, and the economy apparently on the upswing, most of the critical factors needed to support a Business Aviation recovery seem to be in place. For the moment, however, the market is persistently refusing to turn around. Maybe next time? ❯ To view a full reproduction of GAMA’s First Quarter 2012 shipment report, see ❯ overleaf.

NOTES: 1. A shipment occurs when a general aviation airplane is shipped from its production facility to a customer located anywhere in the world. 2. Shipments may include deliveries to a fractional operator owned by the company or to an aircraft dealer. 3. An airplane is considered to be manufactured in the United States when produced under an FAA production certificate. 4. Military airplane shipments are not included in shipment table totals. 5. Company billings are not reported. Where available, GAMA estimates total billings using public information including B&CA Purchase Planning Handbook 2011. 6. Cessna Aircraft Company C162 SkyCatcher (SLSA) and Diamond Aircraft HK36 Motor Glider models are included in civil make-model shipment total, but not summary tables. This change is intended to properly capture all deliveries by the companies listed while maintaining a consistent baseline of shipments from previous years' reports. 7. Boeing also delivered one B747-8VIP during Q1. 8. Air Tractor and Thrush Aircraft are new to the report starting first quarter 2012. Thrush data has been added to the 2012 report summary table as well as the 2011 report. Air Tractor data is listed in the report, but not included in the summary table to allow for a comparison with the 2011 report which does not include Air Tractor data. Gulfstream deliveries will be recognized at the time of completion ("outfitted") starting 2012 to better align with shipment recognition with other OEMs. The 2011 report has been updated and prior years data will be amended. ■

REVISITING RVSM
Revisiting RVSM Avoiding Ops Errors In RVSM Airspace. by Dave Higdon 88
WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – June 2012
e saw the traffic a couple of minutes before hearing it called out by the controller at Jacksonville Center; it showed up on the Collision Avoidance System inset on the Primary Flight Display in front of me, in a climb. A glint of sunlight gleaming off a polished surface grabbed our focus like a beacon in the night – “JAX Center, we’ve got that traffic.” “Ah, good…he’s leveling at Flight Level 360. Won’t be a factor. Thanks.” As the jet passed 1,000 feet beneath us just

a few degrees left of a reciprocal heading the other pilot said, “Good deal! Nobody needs to take a vector (to an off-course heading). Don’t you just love RVSM?” Thousands of pilots love it; probably a lot of their aircraft owners, too, if they know about Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM). Operators, interest groups and regulators applaud RVSM for its benefits – including higher airspace capacity, less need to vector traffic converging and only 1,000 feet apart vertically, greater precision and improved efficiency in ATC management. Aircraft Index see Page 4
RVSM Revisted_Gil WolinNov06 21/05/2012 15:51 Page 2
RVSM DEFINED
But (and there is always a ‘but’) not everyone seems to recognize requirements that must be fulfilled before an aircraft or its crew qualify to operate in RVSM airspace. Some who do qualify fail to operate appropriately; some simply don’t qualify and, knowingly or unknowingly attempt to file for, and use RVSM airspace. The divergences have increased to the point that the FAA is going out of its way to re-emphasize the limitation and responsibilities of operators and crew, and requirements for aircraft and crew. Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
For decades imprecision in flight instrumentation and surveillance equipment combined to prompt the FAA to set very conservative standards for separating traffic in the instrument flight environment – even in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) and in daylight. So aircraft flying in the en route section of their flights were separated horizontally by five miles or more (a standard violable only if one of two aircraft affirmed eye contact with the other). In vertical terms, 1,000 feet was the standard below 29,000 feet (FL290), so layers of traffic could exist only at 290, 310, 330 and so forth, leaving a lot of unused airspace. Above FL410 standard separation increased to 4,000 feet. Starting nearly a decade back, RVSM brought back 50 percent of the missing half of the 1,000-foot cruising-altitude layers (between FL290 to FL410). Thus, where before no one could cruise at FL300 or FL320 they can today; likewise at FL360, FL380 and so forth. Credit for this improvement belongs to the combined efforts of users, developers and regulators to apply improved procedures, technology, equipment standard and training requirements under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). RVSM is an international standard applied the same in virtually any airspace you might fly. From 1997 to 2005 RVSM implementation occurred in all of Europe, North Africa, Southeast Asia and North America, South America, and over the North Atlantic, South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The North Atlantic implementation initially began in March 1997 for FL330 through FL370; the entire western hemisphere implemented RVSM FL290-FL410 on January 20, 2005, and Africa followed on September 25, 2008. Since then, the Russian Federation implemented RVSM and transition to Flight Levels in feet from meters starting just last fall (November 17th 2011). Below the transition level, however, Russia continues to use meters for altitude. The good news in the international community is that your home-country RVSM authorization covers you in all RVSM airspace. But, as with anything that changes, sometimes not all participants seem to be on the same page of the ops manual, and from that comes the risk of an accident or incident related to unauthorized flight in RVSM airspace, where the crew or aircraft lack the approval to be there. www.AvBuyer.com
APPROVED TECHNOLOGY, APPROVED TRAINING Access to RVSM is as restricted as the National Capital Airspace and its FlightRestricted Zone. Only aircraft with specially certified altimeters and autopilots may fly in RVSM airspace, otherwise the aircraft must fly lower or higher than the airspace - or seek special exemption from the requirements. Additionally, aircraft operators (airlines or corporate operators) must receive specific approval from the aircraft's state of registry in order to conduct operations in RVSM airspace. Non-approved aircraft may transit RVSM airspace provided they can take a continuous climb throughout the designated airspace. While transiting they receive 2,000 ft vertical separation at all times between the non-RVSM flight and all other traffic for the duration of the transition, whether climbing or descending. Further, authorization to remain RVSM hinges on the equipment status remaining RVSM-approved and functional. Thus, if a critical item fails, it’s incumbent on the pilot or crew to inform ATC and get a clearance to vacate the RVSM airspace. And an approved aircraft may not be flown by crew who haven’t been trained and qualified in the make, model and equipment standard of that aircraft. So an approved pilot may fly it on regular business but an unapproved pilot from the same organization will have to avoid RVSM while making a ferry flight, for example. Regardless, pilots - even approved pilots flying approved aircraft - must obtain a clearance to enter RVSM airspace – and that clearance requires some precise verbiage and coding on flight plans. Yet despite years of the word being out there, the rules are not always working.
THE FAA’S REACTION According to the FAA, controllers have reported numerous instances of pilots requesting RVSM flight levels or cruising in RVSM airspace without the required authorization, without using proper phraseology or flight plan filing practices. In the first 15 days of November 2011, 35 Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations were filed incorrectly. These events indicate that not only are “non-RVSM” aircraft being filed as RVSM-authorized, but authorized aircraft unable to conduct RVSM due to equipment malfunctions (operations in accordance with an MEL item) are being incorrectly filed as RVSM-authorized. ❯ NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – June 2012

REVISITING RVSM found in AIM, Section 4-6-10. An operator may annotate the equipment block of the FAA or ICAO flight plan with an equipment or capability qualifier indicating RVSM capability only after it has been determined that both the operator and its aircraft are RVSM-compliant and issued RVSM authorization. An aircraft or operator not authorized for RVSM operation or an operator/aircraft without operable RVSM equipment is referred to as “non-RVSM.” Non-RVSM aircraft must not file a flight plan with an RVSM equipment/capability qualifier (i.e. W for ICAO flight plan or /Q, /W, /L, or /K for an FAA flight plan). When an erroneous RVSM equipment/capability qualifier is included, ATC automation will not alert the controller to provide required 2000 foot vertical separation for the Non-RVSM aircraft.
COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONS TIPS Program Managers, Directors of Operations, Directors of Safety, Pilots, dispatchers, flight planning services and flight followers should review the AIM guidance regarding RVSM airspace. The FAA recommends that they: •

HELP ABOUNDS The information on proper procedures and phraseology is covered in the training required to obtain crew authorization and is also in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM).

•
Be knowledgeable of flight planning requirements and do not file an RVSM equipment/capability qualifier unless authorized and capable of operations into RVSM airspace. Understand and comply with the MEL guidance for inoperative items that disqualify an aircraft from RVSM airspace operations. Do not request accommodation for non-RVSM operations in RVSM airspace unless meeting one of the permitted exceptions documented in AIM Section 4-6-10. If accommodated, use proper phraseology and never indicate RVSM capability in the equipment and capabilities field. Remember that regardless of who files the flight plan; the PIC is responsible for operating within § 91.180 including correct flight plan filing.
The goal is to operate safely, legally and efficiently, and RVSM exists specifically to help that last point – efficiency. But without following the approved procedures and using proper processes in an appropriately equipped-and-approved airplane, safety will be sorely at risk. And safety is, as we know, no accident.

THE AVIATION LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE
International Transactions: If you think they’re easy, you’ve probably never done one... he thought of a global market expansion can be very exciting. Imagine that the world is now your playground. Countries you cannot even pronounce, or places you never thought you would travel are now on your business radar. The trade publications (like the one you’re reading) have International distribution and so the four corners of the earth can know who you are, and what you have for sale. Furthermore, the internet has given us all realtime, instant access to all of this information. Yes, it is true sometimes we are working late at night or very early in the morning to capture a far off land’s time zone, but that’s a small sacrifice viewed from the perspective of the more expansive business opportunities just waiting to be embraced. The reality is, of course, that much more than a few extra hours of late-night or early morning phone calls are needed to truly seize such opportunities. Take the example of a Gulfstream based and registered in the UAE being sold to a buyer from Indonesia. Such a transaction is bound to be extremely complex and laden with challenges even if you are working with stellar people on both sides of the transaction (complete integrity and the highest standards are an absolute must from all parties in an international transaction). Starting way back at the contracting phase of the deal, the contract must deal with multinational laws. These laws differ in terms of liability, tax, regulatory and jurisdiction. Working to find common ground so that both the buyer and seller feel protected (and not at the cost of the other side) will prove a difficult task. The usual ‘give and take’ during the negotiations will be required, but ultimately this is far more difficult than a buyer in New York and a seller in California trying to figure out which state will have jurisdiction in the case of a conflict. Often in that circumstance a neutral state may be chosen. In the International arena there may not be a mutually agreed-upon country readily available. The give and take may mean bridging huge gulfs, after which, a delivery location becomes the central issue (along with the mandates of the different countries with
T

WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – June 2012
respect to Export and Import requirements). Just agreeing on a location for the pre-purchase inspection can be incredibly problematic. Not only might the distances the seller is being asked to move the aircraft be long, but the very idea of finding a service center qualified to sign-off the necessary inspections in a way that will be recognized by the importing country will be another challenge. (Of course, the exporting country has to be satisfied too.) Where do you close an international transaction such as this? We have remedied such issues by bringing the airplane back to the US to the OEM to perform the inspections. Now let us imagine that the closing of the UAE-registered Gulfstream transaction was at first contemplated to be in Singapore. Where, then, does acceptance of the airplane take place? Here in the US, before the movement to a closing location? Moving a few states with a plane is easy. When the closing location is fifteen hours away, the seller may have real heartburn about that.
Every bit of the process is compounded by a factor of at least ten when taking place across different regions.
And would you expect the buyer to accept that if the airplane breaks on the way to the closing location, that’s too bad? Every bit of the process is compounded by a factor of at least ten when taking place across different regions. So what else, along with the process generally, is compounded by a factor of ten? You’ve guessed it - the cost of the transaction is www.AvBuyer.com
certainly compounded. Legal fees are far higher to both sides. It is not unlikely that teams of lawyers will be hired, rather than just one per side, and the buyer and seller will probably have representation that is located in the buying country as well as the selling country. There will likely be representation for both sides in the country of recordation (if different from the selling country). Then there will no doubt be representation for both in the country that wins mutual agreement on jurisdiction if that country is in fact a different country. It’s enough to make your head spin! The business aircraft industry is not alone in the quest for, and dealing with the complexity of doing business internationally. Almost every industry is trying to expand their goods and services globally. Learning the higher costs and greater challenges to complete deals internationally is huge. Each of us engaged in this business must be realistic and have the right expectation for how to claim success. The only constant in this international expansion is that the client’s needs are still the most important; the integrity we apply here is expected globally and the idea that it is a people business first and an aircraft business second.

Whether your EFB solution meshes with the governing Federal Air Regulations and others depends to some extent on the operational rule under which you generally fly the aircraft.

THE GOOD, THE BETTER AND THE BAD… The EFB, whether purpose-built, homerolled, or adapted on an iPad, can in one device obviate the need for a portable GPS back-up navigator, an E6B flight computer, and that heavyweight vestige of aviation’s first century: paper manuals, company operational documents, aircraft-specific checklists and that signature accessory of the working aviator: the leather chart case. Already growing in popularity as a purpose-made system of hardware and software, the advent of these tablet devices and EFB software was driving a fresh new wave of interest before Apple introduced its monumentally successful profit center known as the iPad.
The device and the way Apple works in advance with developers positioned the device to quickly become a pilots’ hottest new gadget. The pilot simply needs to acquire that iPad, buy and load the appropriate software and as quickly as the device loads and launches it becomes an EFB. This fresh wave of iPad appeal washes beyond prior EFB solutions and attracted more pilots than had ever seemed drawn to the purpose-built, factory-created EFBs – even though most of those arrived ready to work, delivering charts, plates and procedures while also providing GPS-driven geo-referencing. According to officials from Jeppesen, the company’s use of paper in 2010 – the year of the iPad debut – dropped to 1 billion pieces,

121, FAR 125, even FAR 91 Sub-part K for fractional programs. EFBs deliver benefits on several levels – increasingly important among them is the time saved with the reduced trouble and expedited ability to communicate between manufacturers and operators – a channel dating back decades. But before tackling the changeover, it’s worth assessing operation plans to use an electronic device to its best potential. There’s no sense reducing one set of problems while increasing another (like running afoul of the FARs or finding oneself aloft, lacking important documents, and wishing you were back on the ground… something the missing documents would help expedite).

Plane Sense on Paperless Cockpits down 75 percent from the 4 billion being used at the turn of the century. The paper use dropped again in 2011, but not as dramatically. And the company ascribes those two years of paper declines wholly to the embrace of electronic charting – predominantly driven by the iPad. Advantages of the EFB also extend beyond reduction of paper usage. Better managing updates stands as one of the mostnoted appeals. The serious aviator diligently (if not necessarily happily) tracks and files chart, plate and procedure updates as they come in – every 28 days, 13 times a year. One-click update management is one of the more significant gains of a well-executed EFB – beyond the paper reduction.

Commercial, whether chartered or scheduled airline, mostly develop and win approval of company Operational Specifications. FAA approval gives an operation’s OpSpec the legal equivalence of the FARs themselves. Under FAR Part 91 we lack such formalities. While equally strong company policies may set their own operating limits, under FAR Part 91 we’re free to be as liberal or conservative as we wish. That’s a lot of freedom, comparatively. The requisite FARs tell us we need to be properly prepared for the trip we plan to take, to be familiar with the route or routes, the arrival airport and salient information on conditions and facilities between here and there. Technically, that means no requirement for charts or plates when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) under Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). Fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) – even if conditions aren’t Instrument
Meteorological Conditions (IMC) – and the charts and plates appropriate for the trip should be at your finger tips, digitally or pulp-based Below 18,000 msl and under VFR rules we need carry nothing in the way of charts and approach plates, but we still need the Pilot Operating Handbook, a valid Weight-andBalance document, and instructional manuals for sundry avionics equipment. To that role under FAR Part 91, we’re free to meet those needs as best we see fit – as long as the need is being met when that rare Ramp Check arrives. The FAR Part 91 pilot can use an EFB, iPad or otherwise, to provide all the POH, Operating Manuals, Avionics Instructional Manuals, VFR and IFR charts, plates and procedures. In fact, all the basics of EFB use are found in an Advisory Circular, AC 9178b, (which can be viewed at

operators, except as a “best practices” document, or when the EFB is used to replace required equipment. AC 120-76a separates EFB hardware into three Classes and EFB software into three Types; the AC also provides guidelines on maintenance and airworthiness requirements, on human factor considerations, and serves up guidance on the OpSpecs approval process and how it can be applied to the use of EFBs.
EFB HARDWARE CLASSES: •
•
•
Class 1 EFBs – A Portable Electronic Device (PED) that is usually stowed during critical phases of flight. Class 1 EFBs can connect to ship’s power and read-only data sources. Other than power and data connectivity, Class 1 EFBs are not subject to airworthiness requirements such as DO-160E, and can run Type A and Type B applications. Class 2 EFBs – Still considered a PED, Class 2 have all of the capabilities of a Class 1 EFB, but may be used during critical phases of flight using either an airworthy mounting device or knee board. Like Class 1 EFBs, Class 2 EFBs are typically Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) systems modified for aircraft use or are designed specifically for EFB applications. Class 3 EFBs – These are essentially avionics systems subject to airworthiness and regulatory requirements such as DO160E hardware requirements and DO178A software requirements. They range from panel mounted Multi-function Displays (MFD) to custom integrated airworthy systems (such as those based on Paperless Cockpit’s FliteServ C3 platform).
• • • •
Require FSDO/PI approval for OpSpecs holders; Require AEG evaluation for OpSpecs holders; Do not require an AIR design approval; Are not subject to RTCA DO-178B software requirements.
Type C Applications: These are avionicsgrade applications subject to airworthiness requirements, including DO-178B Software Assurance, AEG evaluation and AIR design approval.
WORTH THE WEIGHT – AND THE WAIT With the successful testing of them in catastrophic decompression events, the iPad won approval for use in Part 91 Sub-Part K fractional and Part 135 operations, with Part 121 use of Type A applications already available. The question should be “what does my operation need, and how do I assure the legality?” after which you should ask what’s taking you so long to make the move. Flight crew, flight department managers and even maintenance crew have found the portable tablet a useful tool. And with cockpit applications expanding to include twoway communications between the iPad and aircraft systems, the utility of what started as an EFB candidate can hardly be considered at its peak. So for all you Part 91 operators out there who hunger for a way out of paper charts, heavy chart bags and monthly updating chores, your options are available, multiple and - best of all - cheap and legal. Now…when will you make the switch? ■
“ The question should
be ‘what does my operation need, and how do I assure the legality?’ after which you should ask what’s taking you so long to make the move.”
AC 120-76A APPLICATION TYPES: Type A Applications: Typically pre-composed, static versions of traditionally paper documents. Under AC 120-76a, Type A Applications: • May be hosted on any of the hardware classes; • Require Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)/PI approval for OpSpecs holders (i.e. Part 135, Part 121); • Do not require an AIR design approval; • Are not subject to RTCA DO-178B software requirements. Type B Applications: Typically interactive applications that allow manipulation of the presentation, such as panning and zooming on a chart.

ust a few years ago, anyone could walk through a General Aviation airport FBO lobby and see corporate pilots passing the time as they waited for the return of their passengers with a stack of little brown binders and large piles of papers in front of them. One pile was made up of the sheets that had been ripped out of the binders and the other pile was a pristine, neat, new stack, ready to repopulate the little brown binder. Anyone from the industry knows that these were Jeppesen navigation charts, and the updating process for the pilots was time consuming and never-ending. Now, with new digital systems, it can all be done by hitting the download button. I just wonder what pilots are doing now to fill their day while sitting in a remote FBO, without any Jeppesen charts to update. There are several Advisory Circulars issued by the FAA to help explain and provide guidance on the Paperless Cockpit, which is now commonly known as the

”As a technician planning for a new installation, it is good to start with determining
EN
what Class (Hardware) and Type (Software) of EFB the operator is buying”
Electronic Flight Bag (EFB).There are three Advisory Circulars (ACs) that I referenced for this article; the AC 20-173, titled Installation of Electronic Flight Bag Components; the AC 91-78, titled Use of Class 2 or Class 3 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB); and the AC 120-76a for Part 91, Guidelines for the Certification, Airworthiness, and Operation Approval of Electronic Flight Bag Computing Devices. I recommend that anyone operating an aircraft with an EFB or planning an installation, should do a full review and understand these ACs and all of the regulatory documentation that is referenced within each. Due to the various types of EFBs and the different types of operations that use them, I will address the important points contained in AC 20-173 that apply to the Aviation Technicians.
PLANNING FOR A NEW INSTALLATION As a technician planning for a new installation, it is good to start with determining what Class (Hardware) and Type (Software) of EFB the operator is buying. Each Class varies, depending on what part of the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) rules the aircraft operates under; Part 91, Part 91 Subpart F, or Part 121, 125, 129 or 135. Whether it is a new install or an existing EFB that needs to be maintained, someone from the crew and the maintenance provider should review the ACs and FARs to assure that the requirements are being met for both Operations (Pilots) and Airworthiness (Mechanics). Doing research up front is always a good idea because the “I didn’t know” excuse is not a very good defense if something happens

associated with the EFB that causes an incident or accident. Mounting of an EFB Class 1 or Class 2 requires an experienced mechanic and an appropriate repair station. The days of simply sticking the EFB to the yoke of the aircraft with Velcro are long gone. (The Velcro mounting option was never a good idea for many reasons, but especially due to Velcro losing its strength with age. It is almost impossible to determine how many times you could attach and remove it before the EFB unit would fall off into the pilot’s lap during a final approach.) Mounting any new sophisticated EFB today requires a specific installation plan and design. The EFB cannot obstruct visual or physical access to the aircraft controls and displays, or obstruct flight crew movement or external vision. In today’s modern aircraft this can be a challenge. The mounting also needs to be accessible to the flight crew without impeding the performance of any task. The unit must be easy to lock into position while minimizing the wear and tear of the mechanism. It’s also important to install a welldesigned mount that meets the requirements and all of the numerous Parts of the FARs that deal with crashworthiness and continued airworthiness.
BASIC ITEMS COMPLIANCE There are basic items that must be complied with whenever the aircraft power and data sources are involved. The required power source cannot affect safe operation when the EFB has a failure and it must meet the electrical requirements of the system and be fault protected. This power source must also be labeled correctly so that, when an EFB is being used, the person plugging in the EFB can make sure it is properly connected. I would not want to be the one that hooks up an EFB that is supposed to have a 12V input to a 120 volt plug and then have to explain to the boss why his brand new EFB is smoking and somewhat warm to the touch. Further, don’t forget that in an aircraft, the bundle of tangled wires like the ones behind your work desk, are not allowed, so be sure all cabling is properly secured and out of the way. Data connectivity and processors also depend on the Class and Type of EFB being used or installed. If it is a read-only access system, the interface must ensure one-way communication of data. The design of the interface connection between the EFB and the aircraft systems must ensure that all vulnerability to computer viruses, worms, unauthorized access and malicious access are prevented. Aircraft Index see Page 4
Like the interface, the processor must also be partitioned to guarantee that the data flow and resources (memory, hard drive, avionics data, etc.) meet requirements. Display installation must take into account factors like accessibility, glare and reflection. The screen-size should be adequate and able to display a standard instrument approach procedure chart in a format similar to a published paper chart. No matter what type or class of EFB is installed, a continuous inspection program that details the maintenance, updating and testing of the system is required.
CONTACT THE REGULATORY AGENCY EFB operation and airworthiness regulations and procedures are still being designed, tested and regulated. To avoid spending too much time and money on a system that may not meet the local regulatory agency’s concept of the requirement, it is a good idea to contact them and have them approve it first. Plan to provide the agency representative with documentation and be ready to explain your paperless cockpit plans. Include the Class and Type, the installation and the ongoing maintenance and training programs. I also recommend having a six-month plan that includes both the paperless EFB and a backup
system to assure that everything can be maintained and updated, even if there is an EFB failure. As a final thought, it does appear that mechanics today are providing exceptional installation planning and ongoing maintenance for these new EFBs, allowing pilots more free time - perhaps to go play a round of golf - instead of tearing and inserting paper charts into that little brown binder while sitting in the FBO.

device so popular that it’s moved from cockpits into panels, the iPad serves many masters with a myriad of functions and applications – or “apps” as Apple calls them. Apps have become increasingly popular in aviation. One company, built the Cub-like Zlin Savage iCub aircraft around it (http://icub.aero/?p=21), but most aviation users take their iPad into their cockpits, apps loaded and ready to work in a myriad of ways. Apps serve as flight planners and record keepers, weather resources and more. Go online to the Apple iTunes store or Google the Internet: aviation apps are a growing segment of the iPad marketplace, and pilots up and down the scale are embracing the touch-screen tablet. With the standard caveats about not trying to learn to use new tools in the airborne cockpit, following is a run-down of what (by a non-scientific consensus) seems to be the top ten must-have products for the iPad for pilots – all available through Apple’s iTunes store.

zation is needed – as long as the crew adheres to applicable FARs in terms of preparing for a trip. For 135 and 121 – as well as Sub-Part K of 91 for Fractional operations – prospects should consult Jeppesen, as well as referring to FAA Order 8900.1, Advisory Circular AC 120-76a, and other applicable regulations. The applications themselves are free; Jeppesen prices apply for the document subscriptions. http://ww1.jeppesen.com/aviation/products/mobileflitedeck/index.jsp?kwpgus=&cid=sem90021807

NUMBER 5: FLIGHT GUIDE iEFB
ForeFlight Weather Update
NUMBER 3: FOREFLIGHT MOBILE, V 4.4 Released just this past April, ForeFlight Mobile is considered by many to be the highvalue player in the field of flight planning and charting. Pilots can personalize or customize charts, plates, flight planning, tap live weather and turn the iPad into a notepad for copying clearances onto the screen – with your finger as the stylus. Additionally, ForeFlight 4.4’s new Documents view lets you bring your favorite electronic or scanner POHs, manuals and flip charts into the app. Download legends and manuals from the FAA and NAV CANADA catalogs; make your own document binders for fast access in flight; then tap to open your document viewer. You can try it free for 30 days, and if you like it, you’ll then pay $75 for annual subscription to the basic package, or $150 annually for the pro package.
Charts & Plates (and plenty more) from Flight Guide iEFB gives the iPad pilot georeferenced charts, plates, and procedures with the addition of any iPad compatible GPS accessory or an iPad with GPS integral to the tablet. The package includes a robust flight planning program, scaleable geo-referenced charts, plates, SIDS, STARS, airport diagrams and even live weather that will continue to update in-flight if you wish. You may also consider adding a Zaon portable traffic detector and getting a portable, back-up anti-collision system in case the airplane’s installed system fails. Pricing is simple and affordable, starting at $129 and going to $199 annually for the IFR package, with a year’s worth of updates in the second data plan. http://www.flightguide.com/flight_guide_iefb.html

The pro-pilot dual companions, the Federal Air Regulations (FAR) and Aviator’s Information Manual (AIM) have long been among the banes of cost-conscious aviators because of the ongoing changes that inevitably occur between printings. From the Apps4Pilots site the PilotFAR/AIM app (By CoDeveloper LLC) makes the benefits of electronic documents stand out in stark beauty. Download now and update as often as you want. You can find this app free at the Apple iTunes store and be comfortable knowing that updates are a few touch-drag-and-taps away, so that no aviator should ever worry whether the paperbacks in the flight bag are badly out of date – or even only mildly out of date. http://itunes.apple.com/app/ pilotfar-aim/id349193960?mt=8
NUMBERS 1 & 2: JEPPESEN MOBILE FLITEDECK & FLITEDECK PRO Subscribe to one of Jeppesen’s many electronic charting options and get free access to the corresponding app. For Mobile FliteDeck customers such as General and Business Aviation operators, that means JeppView 3, Express JeppView, JeppView MFD or NavSuite chart subscription; all make the subscriber eligible to download the app. For free access to FliteDeck Pro the subscriber must have a tailored charting data subscription. Both applications will have the following features/functionality: • Data-driven and interactive en route display; • Display of your aircraft position on the en route display and airport diagrams; • Standard or Tailored Airway Manual text; • Arrival, departure and approach procedures including Chart Change Notices; • Chart Change Notices (terminal and en route); • Full-color, high-quality, vector-based data with crisp, clear detail and zoom capabilities; • Routing building.

(The iOS platform will support Airport Moving Map and documents later in 2012.)

NUMBER 6: WINGSX PRO 7 WingsX Pro 7 from Hilton Software delivers sharp, high-resolution moving maps, sectionals, and approach plates, plus graphics depicting Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) – an important piece of knowledge at any time, but particularly in a presidential election year. Then there are real-time and free ADS-B weather with a compatible ADS-B In receiver working with the iPad in colorful NEXRAD graphics, airspace alerts, even high- and lowaltitude IFR charts and approach plates. WingsX Pro 7 also delivers synthetic vision graphics for an out-the-cockpit-window view of the world ahead – and with terrain-alerting functions. And the app turns the iPad into a passive radar altimeter to help guide the pilot to the ground on those tough approaches. Prices start at $99.99, not including any accessory hardware needed to make all the functions, well, functional.

“WingsX Pro 7 also delivers synthetic vision graphics for an out-the-cockpitwindow view of the world ahead – and with terrain-alerting functions.”
NUMBER 7: iATIS APP iATIS brings into the cockpit a wealth of live, real-time and graphically helpful information, such as a graphic depiction of the wind in relationship to the runway at your arrival airport and calculating headwind and crosswind components and their impact on your aircraft performance among the 14 important data information displays. It even calculates density altitude. Each topic on the display side of the iATIS app coincides with the sequential information reported by the tower in the airport terminal area’s ATIS broadcast. This broadcast information is first entered on the data input screen which is on the obverse page of the iATIS main display. All of this is available for about $10. http://iatisapp.com/about.html
NUMBER 8: AOPA’S AIRPORTS AFD AOPA’s Airports is an Airport & Facilities Directory (AFD) app by ForeFlight, available free to members of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and offering many handy features. Among these features, cross-platform iOS compatibility is already available and Droid compatibility is scheduled to arrive this summer. All public airports, FBO information, airport diagrams, FAA offices and contact information (and more) are available in AOPA’s Airports, and useable on the iPhone as well as the iPad. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ aopa-airports/id312173435?mt=8

NUMBER 9: LOGBOOK PRO VERSION 3.0.0. Logbook Pro for iPad/iPhone, now in Version 3.0.0 from NC Software Inc. offers so much depth and capability that it’s somewhat baffling that it’s offered for free. This is an iPad app that includes pilot certificate records, flight times, aircraft used, and helps you maintain currency with alerts, note day versus night operations, and now supports synchronization of local and universal times records. Again, it’s free – as are updates. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/logbook-pro-flightlog-for/id410773111?mt=8
NUMBER 10: PLANEMINDER ONLINE/MOBILE APP Finally, for the light business aircraft operators, Sporty's PlaneMinder Online/Mobile App offers an aircraft-records solution to match the often smaller budgets of the onepilot/one-plane flight department. This inexpensive little $5.99 app turns the iPad into a record keeping and logbook program for the aircraft, serving up reminders of maintenance needs, scheduled inspections, AD revisits and the like. http://www.sportys.com/PilotShop/product/16994 ■

Trying Times: The Light/Medium Business Jet Markets. by Michael Chase & Marj Rose
US ECONOMY/GDP Chart B (right) shows the US Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP - the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States) as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis by quarter from 2001 to present. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the US GDP ended the year at a 3.0% (compared to 3.1% for the fourth quarter of 2010). Generally, Business Aviation does well when the US GDP percentage is 3% or greater. The first quarter of 2012 advanced estimate of the US GDP changed downward to 2.2%, a similar pattern to what was seen in the first quarter of 2011.

awker-Beechcraft declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy would seem to be another sign of the trying times for our industry. As new business aircraft deliveries slipped again for the third year in a row, it seemed inevitable that one of the OEMs would succumb to the pressures of dwindling buyers. As depicted in Chart A (right), new deliveries gave a conflicting messages with three OEMs showing positive change and the others (Hawker Beechcraft included) showing declining delivery numbers in the 2010 vs 2011 year-over-year shipment comparison. Worth noting at this point is that HawkerBeechcraft’s fleet revolves around the light and medium business jet and turboprop market. Within this month’s JETNET >>KNOW MORE, we’ll take a closer look at these segments and offer an update on the pre-owned markets. As we all try to stay optimistic about prospects for future growth of the Business Aviation industry, the actual improvements just don’t seem to keep a pace. Of course we can point to the Gulfstream G650 as one of the few success stories launched in such dismal economic times, as well as the Ultra-LongRange market generally, but what has happened to the light and medium aircraft markets and where are these segments headed? To begin answering these questions, we must first look at the economy as well as the financing environment.

FINANCING VS. CASH After the recession, lending to small and medium-size businesses slowed in the U.S. more so than in Canada, France and Italy, according to a report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). U.S. banks of every size, pulled back on small-business, cutting lending to small and medium-size businesses by $43 billion, the OECD observed, citing statistics from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The biggest U.S. lenders, those with over $50 billion in assets, cut back the most lending - $18 billion less to small businesses in 2010 than in 2009. "The financial institutions in the U.S. tightened credit to small and medium-size businesses for five [quarters] longer than many other countries," said Sergio Arzeni at OECD, adding that this was the opposite of the 2001 credit-tightening cycle. There is little doubt that this lack of funding had an adverse impact on the Business Aviation markets. There are still large inventories of business aircraft available at very affordable prices as 2012 unfolds. Chart C (top, left) shows that the percentage of financed versus cash-bought Full Sale transactions for business jets in the United States from 2000 through mid-September 2008 were roughly split 50–50. Then with the start of the economic melt-down in late 2008, financing of business jets became increasingly difficult to obtain, resulting in only 19% of the deals being financed at the end of the 1Q 2012. In 2011 compared to 2010, the percentage of distribution of new business jets, turboprops, and piston aircraft (as reported by GAMA) increased in North America and in Asia (jets and pistons) but were negative for the other regions of the world (see Chart D, left). The growth in the U.S. Market is coming from increased sales to international markets and the percentage ‘For Sale’ compared to the rest of the world has been declining for several years. The percentage of Business Jets ‘For Sale’ in the U.S. vs International in 2011 was at the highest percentage split (64% vs. 36%) since 1994 as seen in Chart E, left. Meanwhile, Chart F (overleaf) depicts the New Business Jet Shipments by size from 2005 to 2011. Since the economic downturn the large business jet segment has gained the largest percentage share of New shipments, while the light and very light have lost the largest percentage share. The Medium and Bizliner market segments have seen a decline in the number of new shipments as well but have maintained the same market share percentage.

SUMMARY Our outlook for 2012 continues to be cautiously optimistic. More trends are pointing in the right direction as we slowly transition to better times. Corporate profits are up, emerging markets continue to fuel the recovery and flight activity continues to improve at a marginal rate. All of these indicators are positive signs that should help spur growth in our industry, maybe even for the Light and Medium business jet markets. Time will tell, and we will continue to monitor the progress across future articles. ❯ For more information: • Michael Chase is president of Chase & Associates, and can be contacted at 1628 Snowmass Place, Lewisville, TX 75077; Tel: 214-226-9882; Web: www.mdchase.com

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.).
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.
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.
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
SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE RANGE: • Range - Seats Full is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats

occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft. • Ferry Range - is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft. • VFR Range - Seats Full is the maximum 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 fixedwing 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 singleengine and all piston fixed-wing aircraft, this distance represents the take-off field length at Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW). LANDING DISTANCE (FACTORED) For fixed-wing turbine aircraft, landing dis-

tance is computed using FAR 121 criteria. This takes the landing distance from 50/35 feet (depends on certification criteria) and multiplies that by a factor of 1.667. No credit is given for thrust reversers. Configuration is with four passengers and NBAA IFR Fuel Reserve on board. For fixed-wing piston aircraft, this figure is the landing distance over a 50 foot obstacle. RATE OF CLIMB (Ft/Min) The rate of climb, given in feet per minute, is for all engines operating, at MTOW, ISA conditions. One Engine Out rate of climb is for one engine inoperative rate of climb at MTOW, ISA. CRUISE SPEED (Knots True Air Speed - KTAS) Max Cruise Speed - is the maximum cruise speed at maximum continuous power. This may also be commonly referred to as High Speed Cruise. Normal cruise speed is the recommended cruise speed established by the manufacturer. This speed may also be the same as Maximum Cruise Speed. Long Range Cruise is the manufacturer’s recommended cruise speed for maximum range. ENGINES The number of engines, manufacturer and model are shown. Aircraft Index see Page 4

SAFETY MATTERS - STERILE COCKPIT
The Sterile Cockpit: Inoculating crew against the virus of distraction. by Dave Higdon he embarrassed pilot was left no choice but to confess to investigators that conversing with his pilot passenger while on final approach caused him to overlook that one switch and led him into that most-embarrassing of all cockpit foibles: the gear-up landing. The gear horn blared continuously through a video of two pilots chatting in the cockpit of a popular piston single as they turned base to final and, ultimately, landed – again, sans landing gear.

An airline captain’s failure to switch off his smartphone broke the sterility of his cockpit when, as his airplane approached its destination, the device started chirping the alerts of incoming text messages. Fortunately in this case the First Officer caught the issue of landing gear still stowed in their wells and commanded a go-around while the Captain, stunned, failed to catch that he caused the incident. Thankfully, the three incidents above injured no one, but such are the risks of a cockpit virus so insidious that airlines have www.AvBuyer.com
developed operating policies to combat it. The disease: a creeping fuzzy focus (that is not focused at all). The antidote: the socalled sterile cockpit.
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AN INFECTIOUS EPIDEMIC Sterile. A dictionary definition is given thus: “free o f co ntam inants, o f co ntam inatio n, o f m atter fo reign to the p urp o se.” Cockpits act as command centers, the veritable nerve center of an aircraft.

SAFETY MATTERS STERILE COCKPIT reminder of that function; but the myopialike focus on flying the airplane of the ideal professional pilot faces many challenges. The introduction of cockpit activities into the scenario immediately challenges the sterility of the cockpit and the crew’s focus on the job at hand. The infections arrive into the sterile environment of the cockpit via many channels and from multiple sources. It can be sourced from innocent conversation about flying the plane, the job, family issues – and so on. The sterile cockpit, however, lays the foundation for focused flying absent the distractions and dubious engagements with others. This means limiting exchanges to standard topics: check list, procedures and briefing approaches. No conversations about bad dates, great vacations, excellent off-day movie experiences, or the wonders of the Chief Pilot. Sadly, other aviators violate the sterility protocol with the same nonchalance as drivers without turn signals violate traffic laws. They know in the abstract, but can’t seem to help themselves when stricken by the urge to speak. Aside from rated pilots, other passengers routinely contribute to violating the sterility of business aircraft cockpits – children, sometimes pets, the guests of passengers or regular passengers themselves. Perhaps the most uncomfortable issue for many pilots is enforcing a sterile cockpit when colleagues, supervisors or some other flight-deck newcomer arrives and wants to participate. This should be no problem for the professionals piloting most FAR 91 aircraft, and only a small issue for all others. There’s no reason for it to be a problem even when nothing more than a curtain separates cabin from cockpit. And it’s not always a human causing the distraction: the aircraft itself can violate the spirit of a sterile cockpit by sounding off an alert annunciating a failure of an electrical system component. There can be nothing like the blare of a horn or the toot of an alarm to put you off-balance. As we saw above, an errant cell phone, MP3 music player, a hyper focus on a laptop, even aviation technology can combine to give the cockpit a serious case of cockpit noise infection also.
THE ONGOING SEARCH FOR A CURE… It’s certainly no surprise that when cockpit crew allow their attention to divert from their primary task that flight safety can and sometimes does suffer. We have decades of examples punctuated by dozens of air carrier accidents, business jet accidents and incidents, all of which occurred because flight
124
WORLD AIRCRAFT SALES MAGAZINE – June 2012
crew allowed their attention to divert from the task at hand – flying the airplane. When they became occupied with items totally unrelated to flying, serious, flightsafety steps got missed: setting proper flaps prior to take-off, failure to lower landing gear on approach, monitoring altitude assignments or waypoints on instrument approaches, failure to activate engine and wing anti-ice when needed. What is surprising (discouraging even) is the persistence of violations to sterilecockpit practices more than three decades after the FAA acted to resolve the issue – at least, for commercial operations. The effort became formal in 1981 when the FAA enacted FAR 121.542 and FAR 135.100 to help curb the growing list of incidents and accidents related to the problem. Almost immediately tagged the “sterile cockpit rule,” these regulations specifically prohibit crew member performance of nonessential duties or activities while the aircraft is involved in taxi, takeoff, landing, and all other flight operations conducted below 10,000 msl, except cruise flight. While not specifically required in FAR 91 operations, most operators employing NBAA best practices in their operations enforce their own variation of cockpit sterility – essentially applying the same standard www.AvBuyer.com
as required under Parts 121 and 135. Sterile Cockpit Rules should be in force and enforced under the following circumstances: • Between engine start and 10,000 msl the aircraft cockpit should be devoid of conversation or any activity unrelated to flying the airplane, including time in climb; • From the start of a standard descent to the ramp, with extra enforcement starting at 10,000 msl; • En route, allow a lower standard of enforcement; as long as you keep the focus on flying the airplane a bit of non-flying conversation is reasonable – though not all operations allow so much as a peep that isn’t about the airplane or the flight.
STERILIZING THE COCKPIT – THE BASICS The following briefing was designed for everyone on the needs and reasons for maintaining a sterile cockpit. •
Start your Sterile Cockpit Requirement with the pre-flight inspection of the aircraft; if possible and viable, include any passengers, rated and otherwise, and include them in a pre-flight Aircraft Index see Page 4

passenger briefing. Relate why you need quiet at certain times; explain that you will insist on it when it’s needed. By explaining as much as you can about what’s going to occur, what those guests will see, hear and feel in advance, they’ll enjoy the experience even more because they’ll be able to relate what’s happening to what you told them to expect. In smaller aircraft where separation between crew and passengers is minimal, remember to employ the benefits of a modern audio-control system, which should let you isolate passengers and crew from the PIC; use it to help create that sterile environment on the flight deck. Likewise, remind your passengers how they may talk so that no one on the flight deck will hear them. Finally, enlist passengers in working the flight if they’re interested, keeping them busy watching for other traffic and tapping your shoulder to alert you to anything they spot.
Crew members should all use the same pages of the Sterile Cockpit guide when dealing with each other and passengers. But do be sure they understand that the Advertising Enquiries see Page 8
need for a sterile cockpit may manifest itself on short notice.
ADVANCED STERILIZATION TECHNIQUES It would be manifestly unfair to leave readers with the impression that only humans and human interaction threaten the sterility of any given flight deck. As touched on above, the sterile-cockpit atmosphere suffers at the hands of technology just as often. The 2010 airliner incident outlined in our opening paragraphs brought to light how the sterility of an A320 cockpit suffered when the captain’s mobile phone started chirping alerts of new text messages while descending for Changi Airport. This bit of sterile-cockpit violation actually began before departing Darwin, Australia – when the captain, for whatever reason, failed to switch off the phone. When that phone started beeping newmessage alerts the captain went hyper-focal trying to unlock and then turn off the chirping smartphone; meanwhile, the Airbus A320 descended through 2,500 feet agl toward 2,000 agl as the First Officer (FO) worked without success to refocus the captain’s attention on the cockpit and restore cockpit sterility. Thankfully, the FO eventually hit the www.AvBuyer.com
autopilot-disconnect button to handle the landing – and, in his own zone of semi-sterility, noticed the three red lights indicating stowed landing gear. As the Airbus descended through 800 for 700 feet the FO made the smartest decision of the flight, opting to goaround. No flight crew should be engaged in any activity unrelated to actually piloting the aircraft – thus is the nature of the sterile cockpit. Of course, the safety aspects of flying with two pilots on the flight deck came through for the flight and its passengers. But what happens when both crew members abandon sterile-cockpit best practices? In the case of two Northwest Airlines pilots, you get an Airbus flying happily along - all on its own. It was October 2010 when a pair of Northwest Airlines pilots made the news by flying beyond their destination… 150 miles beyond! Filed for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), the flight crew members lost themselves in working on their laptop computers (yes, on the flight deck!) working in a program to schedule their next month’s duty days. With a cockpit distraction so severe and long-lasting, both crew members missed radio calls from ATC and navigation point alerts on their panel…for more than an hour! Thankfully, alert Flight Attendants came to the rescue - happily before the aircraft suffered a fuel crisis - after realizing the flight had been aloft far longer than it should have been without starting its descent. Imagine, if you will, the unhappy outcomes possible had other traffic, or some other crisis erupted during those 70-plus minutes the two pilots were “off-line” and in violation of the FAA’s Sterile Cockpit rules.
STERILIZE THE COCKPIT Regardless of the size or scope of the operation, the Sterile Cockpit philosophy should have a place in every operation in which safety matters. Of course, for operators at the lighter-end of the scale some adjustment to the parameters may be warranted. After all, for an aircraft that seldom cruises at 10,000 msl – let alone above – the thought of no one talking or engaging with the pilot is a little ludicrous. But the adjustment for the operation should be just that – an adjustment, not an abandonment or refusal to recognize the benefits. It takes only one moment focused elsewhere for an airplane to transition from ‘controlled flight’ to ‘terminal arrival’ when down low. Think safe – think sterile cockpit.

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 world’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.
