Editor Welcome April17.qxp_JMesingerNov06 20/03/2017 15:30 Page 1

Editor’s Welcome Fasten Seat Belts onditions are changing. In the US, traditional norms of decorum and diplomacy are being challenged by the Trump Administration. The United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union is an unfolding drama with potentially significant consequences for Business Aviation as operators face a possible clash between the regulations of EASA and those of the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority.

Elections throughout Western Europe may produce further challenges to the status quo as pro nationalists and rightest candidates tap into a populous movement that seems to be gaining momentum broadly. China will choose new political leadership during the Communist Party’s 19th National Congress this fall. As if those events were not sufficient to keep business leaders awake deep into the night, there continues to be profound unrest in areas of the Middle East and Africa.

It is fair to say that the readers of this magazine are active participants in the economies of the many areas experiencing transition or seeking change.

Operators of Business Aircraft have a special awareness of opportunities generated by change. With the mobility to be where the action is unfolding, an entrepreneur can leverage aspiration of the marketplace and offer solutions that benefit investors and create jobs. Established companies also use Business Aviation to stay fully engaged in international as well as domestic markets.

Economists rarely agree on many issues, but they are aligned in the belief that transportation is an enabling technology for economic growth and improved quality of life.

Trade is essential to a nation’s Gross Domestic Product, and increasingly trade involves movement of goods and service beyond local areas of manufacture. Transportation is part of the equation.

Business Aviation is an essential and unique form of transportation, unconstrained by the strictures of airline schedules or the need to serve mass markets. Operators of business aircraft are free to explore the opportunities inevitably stimulated by change—particularly the radical and rapidly unfolding disrupters seemingly on the ascendency in many areas of the globe. Business Aviation can be the

C

enabler of profound concepts for expanding a nation’s economy.

Governments must have revenues to fund their agenda, be that agenda pro right or pro left. As proven by many studies in the US and Europe, companies and business leaders that are users of business aircraft generate significantly greater revenues and returns for investors than their non-operator counterparts. Their profits generate jobs, produce revenues and eventually form the basis for taxes that fund government.

Business aircraft are tools of productivity and thus enablers of economic growth.

Business Aviation will serve the economic well-being of those nations that facilitate this valuable form of transportation.

In This Issue

Within this edition, we look at how cabin connectivity can enable productivity of those utilizing business aircraft with Dave Higdon and Brian Wilson outlining what is available to operators and how to choose the right type of connectivity for your mission needs.

We also focus on different aspects of safety, from ensuring suitable technical management safety within the flight department, to maintaining checklist discipline and more.

Within this month’s Comparative Analysis article, the Hawker 900XP is compared with the Citation Latitude.

For the Boardroom, Jeremy Cox continues his ‘What’s Your Business Aircraft Worth Today?’ series focusing on the Bombardier Global and Challenger models; Jet Tolbert discusses how to assess when is the right time to enter whole aircraft ownership for the first time; and David Wyndham addresses how to assess flight department efficiency from a company executive’s point of view.

Naturally, readers will find a good selection of market analyses and Rollie Vincent presents the latest Market Indicators heading into April, Mike Potts offers detailed analysis of GAMA’s Year-End 2016 shipment report and Mike Chase & Marj Rose review flight operating data provided by JETNET. We trust you will find the content of this edition addresses your need for Business Aviation intelligence.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Business Aviation Market Summary Is Fractional Ownership on the Rebound?

With “March Madness” in full swing as we went

to press, after several years stuck in the doldrums, business jet flight activity continues a slow but steady recovery, notes Rollie Vincent, Editor, Market Indicators. Let’s take a closer look…

C

harter (Part 135) and Fractional (Part 91K) activity lead the way in the recovery of business jet flight activity. JETNET databases through mid-March 2017 indicated that there were 736 business jets in Fractional operation worldwide, 85% of which were based in the United States and Canada, and another 10% in Europe.

New factory deliveries to the various Fractional programs have rebounded over the last several years, driven by replacement demand as earlier, relatively high-cycle models are taken back in trade by OEMs and re-sold on the open market.

Early model Citation X aircraft, one of the more popular fractional models operated in the pre-financial crisis era, are value priced at about $3m today, which in our opinion represents considerable value for the dollar (see Asset Insight’s summary on p27 of this issue). At prices like these, is it any wonder that there’s a cadre of industry experts advising their High Net Worth clients to seriously consider a used jet for their next purchase?

Although these aircraft may not have every bell and whistle in comparison with factory-fresh alternatives, the advantages of much lower capital costs and the avoidance of steep depreciation losses (measured in the thousands of dollars per flight hour) can be compelling for buyers wishing to minimize their risk exposure in these uncertain times.

Fractional Fleet Leaders

Aircraft manufactured by Textron Aviation and its predecessor companies continue to be the fleet leaders, accounting for 44% of the Fractional program installed base of business jets.

Following in the footsteps of the Citation Ultra, Citation X, 16

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

Citation Excel/XLS, and Citation Sovereign, Textron Aviation’s latest fractional tour de force – the Citation Latitude – is delivering in volume to NetJets, with 21 aircraft in service by mid-March 2017, representing about 1 in 3 total factory deliveries of this popular model.

Are we witnessing a rebound in fractional demand – an idea that may have been ahead of its time given today’s “shared economy” thinking?

There is little doubt that the worldwide fractional fleet fell quite sharply in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

NetJets and NetJets Europe had a combined fleet of 504 business jets at press time, down from more than 700 jets at their pre-crisis peak.

With just over 1,500 new jets delivered into worldwide fractional programs over the last 25 years, only 736 aircraft (or 49% of the total) were still in fractional program service in March 2017.

In the post-crisis period, when order cancellation and industry consolidation was significant, we witnessed the demise of a key player (Citation Air) and the consolidation of another (Flexjet into Flight Options) as Cessna and Bombardier opted out of competing with their largest fleetbuying customers.

There has been a dramatic shift in the model mix over the past several years, with the rise of Embraer and more recently Bombardier. Textron, the de facto provider of most fractional aircraft prior to the crisis (Citation/Beech/Hawker), was virtually absent from new deliveries over a seven-year period.

A drought in NetJets orders ended happily in 2012 with the signing of a contract for 25 firm orders and 125 options on the Citation Latitude aircraft, although first deliveries did

Aircraft Index see Page 153

MarketIndicators APRIL17.qxp_Layout 1 21/03/2017 12:44 Page 2

not occur until mid-2016.

There is little doubt that both Embraer (with the Phenom 300) and Bombardier (with its Challenger 350) have been able to sustain relatively high rates of factory deliveries on the basis of solid demand from fractional ownership programs.

Both of these aircraft have been locked in a battle for bragging rights as the industry’s most-delivered business jet, with Embraer managing to edge out Bombardier each year since 2012.

Both aircraft were designed from the outset for high cycles and dispatch reliability, as well as ease of maintenance. These product attributes have particular appeal to fractional, charter, and high-utilization flight departments that no doubt appreciate the best of both worlds – airliner-like DNA where it makes sense, and attention to detail and bespoke quality where it counts the most.

Worldwide Business Jet Fleet in Fractional Programs

By Manufacturer/Brand - March 2017 (Source: JETNET)

Encouraging Bounce-Back

In their heyday in the last 10-20 years, new deliveries to fractional program holders represented a respectable 16% of total factory shipments in a given year. Although these levels have yet to be matched in the post-crisis period, the “bounce back” off of the 2009-2011 floor has been encouraging.

With an innovative business model that has already accounted for more than 1,500 business jet deliveries over the last 25 years, Fractional Ownership clearly remains an attractive alternative to whole ownership for many successful organizations, families and individuals.

BizAv Activity Europe Business Aviation departures in Europe, at 53,529, were 0.9% higher in February 2017 than in February 2016 (which was one day longer), according to WingX Advance data. The YTD trend is now 2.6% ahead of 2016 with 2,602 more flights in 2017.

“Allowing for the shorter month, February showed solid YoY growth for Business Aviation activity in Europe,” said WingX managing director Richard Koe. “The resurgence is coming in business jet activity, and clearly from AOC operations rather than private flights, as we’re seeing [European] owners fly consistently less over the past year.”

For the past 12 months, business jet activity has seen an increase of just over 2%, but in February increased by 4% YoY, while turboprop and piston usage was down by the same percentage. Business jets operated 62% of Business Aviation flights in February.

In terms of operating hours, all business jet segments except heavy jets saw an increase in February. VLJ hours increased by more than 10% and ultra-long-range flights increased by 10%. AOC activity was up in all seven of the top markets, led by the Netherlands, which saw a 28% increase YoY, but private missions declined in all of those same markets (except Germany) in February.

“Activity growth appears to be coming from new ultra-long-range and supermidsize aircraft coming into owned and operated fleets, also from the success of online brokerage platforms and membership schemes focused on getting higher utilization from light jet inventory,” added Koe. continued MI www.wingx-advance.com on page 22 

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Year End 2016 Avionics Sales Report Total worldwide Business & General Aviation avionics sales for the year saw a -6.4% decrease compared to the previous year, according to AEA. Avionics sales amounted to more than $2.2bn during 2016, which was the lowest dollar amount of reported sales since 2012, when AEA began tracking sales.

Of the more than $2.2bn in sales, 50.6% came from forward-fit sales (avionics equipment installed by airframe manufacturers during original production), or more than $1.14bn – again the lowest dollar amount of forward-fit sales recorded in the last four years.

By contrast, the retrofit market (avionics equipment installed after original production) showed an increase in its percentage of total sales for the fourth straight year. Retrofit sales amounted to 49.4 percent of sales in 2016 (up from 49.1% in 2015).

According to the companies that separated their total sales figures between North America (US & Canada) and other international markets, 66.3% of the 2016 sales volume occurred in North America, while 33.7% took place in other international markets.

“It is disappointing that total worldwide sales have decreased in each of the last two years,” remarked AEA President Paula Derks. “However, we did see some progress made in Q4 2016, marking the second straight year where Q4 was the strongest period for sales, so it will be interesting to observe whether those late-year surges continue into future years.”

3,900-4,400 Helicopter Deliveries Over Next Five Years?

Impacted by a slow global economic growth environment and volatility in oil- and gas-related markets, the helicopter industry is reacting with a cautious outlook for near-term new purchases, as reflected in Honeywell Aerospace’s latest Helicopter Purchase Outlook…

In its 19th annual "Turbine-Powered Civil Helicopter Purchase Outlook," Honeywell forecasts 3,900 to 4,400 civilian-use helicopters will be delivered from 2017 to 2021, roughly 400 helicopters lower than the 2016 five-year forecast.

"The current global economic situation is causing fleet managers to evaluate new helicopter purchases closely, and that's why we're seeing a more cautious five-year demand projection compared with previous years," said Ben Driggs, president, Americas, Honeywell Aerospace.

The survey showed new purchase24

plan rates were lower for the next five years across all regions. When considering a new purchase, operators' results mirrored those from last year, with make and model choices most strongly influenced by range, cabin size, performance, technology upgrades and brand experience.

Helicopter fleet utilization in the past 12 months generally increased compared with last year. Over the next 12 months, usage rates are expected to improve significantly in North America and Latin America.

Honeywell’s survey queried more than 1,000 chief pilots and flight department managers of companies operating 3,746 turbine and 362 piston helicopters worldwide. The survey excluded large fleet or "mega" operators.

Large Jet Sales Plummet Worldwide; Increase in EMEA

Business jet deliveries jumped by 20% in the emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region in 2016 but those gains were offset by drops in most other regions, leading to an 8% overall decline, according to analysis by UBS. The market remains “heavily skewed” toward North America, UBS said, as the region accounts for 63% of the total deliveries, including 74% of the Small- and Mid-Cabin Jets and 44% of the Large Jets.

Deliveries were down 9% overall in North America in 2016.

Leading that drop in North America were Large Cabin Jet deliveries, down 34%. Mid-Cabin Jet shipments were down by just 3%, while Light Jet deliveries improved by 8% in the region.

Business jet deliveries dropped most in Western Europe, down 13%. The region now accounts for 15% of total deliveries, down from 24% during the peak 20072008 years. Deliveries fell another 10% in Latin America, driven by a 32% drop in Large Cabin airplanes. Deliveries slid 5% in China and India for the year.

Meanwhile, although Large Cabin deliveries were down 21% overall worldwide, they did increase by 22% in the emerging EMEA region.

In-Service Aircraft Values & Maintenance Condition Ask Prices for tracked models receded another -4.6% in February, following January’s 1.3% decline, notes Asset Insight. There has been a total decrease of -13.4% over the past twelve months and a new record low figure.

Large and Medium Jets were down -4.8% and -2.2%, respectively, with both groups reaching new record low figures, while Small Jets and Turboprops posted modest price increases of 0.7% and 1.0%.

Table A

Inventory Fleet Maintenance Condition

Overall Asset Quality decreased, but maintained an ‘Excellent’ rating, and the Quality Rating Trendline remained positive, while Maintenance Exposure remained virtually flat. Specifically: • Quality Rating: The Asset Insight Quality Rating posted a 12-month low figure, decreasing 1.4 AI2 basis points, to 5.322 from last month’s 5.336, on Asset Insight’s scale of -2.5 to 10.

• Maintenance Exposure: The tracked fleet’s average Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated/embedded maintenance expense) saw a nominal decrease/improvement to $1.452m from December 2016’s $1.454m.

Maintenance Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio

The tracked fleet’s ETP Ratio (an aircraft’s Maintenance Exposure divided by its Ask Price) rose slightly to 53.8%, from last month’s 52.8%. Asset Insight considers any ETP Ratio over 40% to represent excessive Exposure in relation to Ask Price, and the tracked fleet’s average has been above 40% for the past 26 months.

Surprisingly, Turboprops posted the best/lowest figure this month at 45.7%, followed by Large Jets at 46.9% (12-month high), Small Jets at 57.4% and Medium Jets at 60.4%.

Market Summary

There is little for sellers to celebrate based on the figures generated by this latest market analysis.

Large Jets: The Quality Rating fell from ‘Outstanding’ to ‘Excellent’, while Financial Exposure increased/worsened by 1.6%. This group continues to offer good value for buyers, as Ask Prices reached a new record low. The problem for sellers continues to be the increasing number of assets listed ‘For Sale’. Newer inventory aircraft are impacted the most due to new production asset pricing.

Ask Prices have decreased -17.4% during the past 12 months and –4.8% over just the past 30 days. Combined, these factors have negatively impacted the group’s ETP Ratio, increasing it for the sixth consecutive month, and posting another 12-month high/worst figure at 46.9%.

Medium Jets: Ask Prices posted a new record low, with buyers demonstrating a propensity to acquire higher-priced aircraft. Enough buyers acquired lower quality assets that Maintenance Exposure for the inventory fleet improved to a 12-month best figure.

With the Quality Rating remaining ‘Excellent’, and with Ask Prices and Maintenance Exposure both low, great values are available and Asset Insight urges serious buyers to act. Some sellers may console themselves with the knowledge that their aircraft’s maintenance will make it attractive, albeit at a lower price than they might prefer.

Small Jets: Maintaining their ‘Excellent’ Quality Rating, even with the inventory fleet increasing by eight units, while Ask Prices rose Small Jets remained below their 12month average. With Maintenance Exposure marginally worsening, the ETP Ratio increased for the fourth consecutive month.

Still, good values continue to exist for buyers, while sellers can only hope that the final transaction value will retain some level of the Ask Price increase.

Turboprops: Inventory increased by twelve units and, while asset quality receded from ‘Very Good’ to ‘Good’, Maintenance Exposure improved nearly 2.4% while Ask Price increased for the third consecutive month to just below the group’s 12-month best figure.

Together, these figures improved the ETP Ratio and, considering the group’s narrow transaction value band, offer good values for buyers that do their homework. Sellers should also find opportunities to transact at favorable rates, assuming they correctly evaluate and understand how their aircraft compares to competing assets.

Asset Insight was struck by how many traded aircraft were of a lower asset quality than what was available. Perhaps buyers were able to negotiate pricing for these assets that was irresistible, although we have repeatedly advised that “low price” does not necessarily represent “good value”. Good values are readily available. Buyers simply need to run some inexpensive analytics to identify them.

GAMA 2016 Year-End Shipment Analysis Delving Beneath the Surface of the

‘Dismal’ New Airplane Delivery Numbers The General Aviation Manufacturers Association issued its annual report for 2016 in February and the numbers were not good, concludes Mike Potts. Total shipments were down 3.9% and billings were down a whopping 14.1% in 2016…

T

he jet market was off 7.9% from 718 units a year ago to 661 this year – the lowest total for business jet deliveries since 2004 when jet sales totaled just

591 units.

Meanwhile, turboprops (as reported by GAMA) represented a bright spot, finishing 3.4% ahead of last year at 582 units. Piston airplane shipments were down to 1,019 units compared with 1,056 in 2015.

GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce characterized the results as “disappointing,” although he acknowledged “...some blue sky in the turboprop sector”.

Although the results for 2016 were generally lousy, a closer look at the data reveals a more mixed result. Amid the general calamity: 30

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

There are some bright spots in the jet market; Traditional turboprops are doing a little better than GAMA’s numbers suggest; and Even in the piston market there is some sunshine (the leading piston maker actually sold more airplanes in 2016 than the year before).

All three markets actually finished about where we expected them to be. Last year we predicted a jet market finish at around 675 units.

In traditional business turboprops (not including the agricultural airplanes) we forecast total deliveries of 430 to 435 units, with the final result coming in at 431. For pistons we forecast a finish in the 1,020 to 1,025 range, very near the actual result of 1019.

The Jet Market The jet market finished the year with a very typical year-end surge, as 35.25% of all the jets sold were delivered in Q4. From a surge perspective, that’s almost exactly what happened last year, too.

Looking at the specifics of the jet market, four of the 10 companies delivering business jets last year had better results than in 2015 while six lagged behind their prior year results.

Textron’s Cessna unit was the leader in jet deliveries with 178 units for the first time since 2012, surging ahead of Bombardier which in recent years had led the jet market for deliveries by a wide margin. Cessna’s total was up from 166 units in 2015 while Bombardier’s was down from 199 to 163.

Embraer captured third place in jet deliveries with 117 units, narrowly edging out Gulfstream which finished with 115. Embraer’s total was down slightly from the 120 reported last year, while Gulfstream was down sharply from the 154 it recorded in 2015.

In spite of its 25.3% reduction in deliveries, Gulfstream held its traditional position as the leader in jet billings, with a total of $6.24bn. Bombardier was second in billings with $5.87bn. Collectively, that makes for $12.1bn in billings between the two billings leaders, or 68.5% of the total market divided between the two leading companies.

Gulfstream’s 2015 total was $8.2bn and Bombardier’s was $7.36bn – a collective total of $15.56bn. For 2016 the two companies’ collective billings were down $3.46bn, which equates almost exactly to the $3.4bn that the industry was down from 2016 to 2015.

Generally speaking, the downturn in oil prices that began about two years ago has taken the buying power away from many of the international customers that fueled the exceptional demand for Large Cabin business jets and dried up a good segment of this market.

That is not to say that the market for Large Cabin business jets has gone away, however. Gulfstream still delivered 88 of its Large Cabin jets and Bombardier 51 of its Global 5000/6000 series, but a year ago those totals were 120 and 73, respectively.

The middle segment of the jet market is still holding up quite nicely, however. For example, in terms of jet units sold Bombardier’s Challenger 350 was second with 62 deliveries, only narrowly beaten

by Embraer’s much smaller and less expensive Phenom 300, which had 63 deliveries. Cessna’s largest selling model, meanwhile, was its new supermid-size Citation Latitude with 42 units reported.

Fifth place in business jet deliveries was Dassault which reported 49 for the year (including 34 in the second half alone). Dassault’s total was down slightly from the 55 it reported in 2015.

The balance of the jet market is made up of two classes of companies: new entrants including Cirrus, Honda, and One Aviation (Entry-Level jets), and Airbus and Boeing (BusinessLiners).

Honda, which began delivering jets about 14 Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

months ago after an extended development program, finished 2016 with 23 deliveries, including eight in Q4. This compares to two units delivered right at the end of 2015.

One Aviation made eight deliveries for the year, up from seven in 2015 (including three in Q4 2016 versus two in Q4 2015). And Cirrus, with its newly certificated Vision Jet, delivered three aircraft before the close of the year, making it the newest entry in the business jet segment.

In the BusinessLiner category, Boeing reported four deliveries, down from 11 a year ago, while Airbus reported a single sale, down from four last year.

For 2017, Cirrus and Honda both report large backlogs that could help to drive the business jet segment back up over the 700 unit total for next year, ensuring 2016 will stand as a low point in business jet deliveries from which the industry can mount a recovery.

Mike Potts is respected industrywide as an aviation journalist. He has been analyzing GAMA’s delivery reports for AvBuyer since 2003 where he has built an excellent track record for accurate shipment predictions. Contact him via msmkpotts@aol.com

The Turboprop Market By most measures turboprops represent the healthiest segment of Business Aviation today.

Deliveries of traditional business turboprops (excluding agricultural turboprops) were up 3.9% (431 units, versus 415 for 2015). The 2016 total includes 316 single engine models and 115 twins.

Counting both single- and twin-engine production, the largest maker of turboprops is Textron’s Beechcraft unit with 106 deliveries. The company’s 2016 deliveries (all twins) were down, however, from the 117 reported in 2015.

In second place is Pilatus, which made 100 deliveries, including 39 in Q4 2016. The Pilatus total was up 35.14 percent from its 74 delivered a year ago, although its Q4 total was only three units ahead of the 36 recorded in Q4 2015. If Pilatus sales growth continues at its current rate into 2017, it could eclipse Beechcraft as the largest turboprop OEM – a position Beech has held almost continuously since the 1970s.

Third place in turboprop deliveries for 2016 goes to Cessna, with 84 units, including 26 in Q4. Cessna’s total is down from the 102 delivered in 2015. Fourth place went to Daher (54 units), down a single unit from its 2015 total.

Daher had 22 in Q4, up from 19 in 2015.

Fifth and sixth place in turboprop deliveries for 2016 was hotly contested between Quest and Piper, with Quest narrowly winning with 36 units over Piper’s 34. Quest’s total was up from the 32 it reported in 2015 while Piper’s was up more sharply (from 27 in 2015). Indeed, Piper’s total included 16 units in Q4 compared with just four in the same period the year before.

Bringing up the rear in the turboprop segment was New Zealand’s Pacific Aerospace with eight deliveries; a new entrant, AVIC, with six units; and Italy’s Piaggio, which delivered www.AVBUYER.com

numbers in 2016, with Diamond leading the way. Tecnam was second with Textron’s Beechcraft third. Only fourth-placed Piper trailed its 2015 total.

Piston Market Summary

In Summary

The piston products represent the largest segment in the GAMA report with 1,019 airplanes, but they are also the smallest segment financially. Of the 15 OEMs reporting deliveries, five had improved numbers over 2015, seven had falling numbers, and three were even. On a quarterly basis, seven were up, five were down, and three were even.

Of the 15, only two built more than 100 units per year, while eight built fewer than 20. The largest OEM by far was Cirrus, which contributed 317 piston-powered airplanes to the total in 2016, including 91 in Q4 2016 alone. This represents a 5.3% increase over the 301 units Cirrus delivered in 2015.

Second place in piston deliveries went to Cessna, with 217 units for the year (including 90 in Q4 2016). Cessna’s numbers are down from 2015 when it delivered a total of 271 piston-powered aircraft (and 111 in Q4 2015).

Following Cirrus and Cessna, the major players in the piston market are Tecnam and Piper with 86 units and 80 units respectively, followed by Diamond with 68. Piper’s total was down slightly its 2015 shipments (and its Q4 2016 total of 24 was well below the 45 reported in Q4 2015). Tecnam, by comparison, was up 26.5% over its Q4 2015 total.

Diamond’s 68 shipments represented a downturn from the 97 reported for 2015, but its Q4 2016 shipments were up (22 units) versus 19 the year before.

Piston twin sales were up 17.3% at 129 units, from 110 in 2015. Three of the four piston twin makers had improved

Overall, then, this year’s version of the final GAMA report for 2016 represents a very mixed bag.

The highest end of the jet market is lagging, although perhaps only in relation to the very spectacular years that segment enjoyed when the rest of the jet market was in trouble.

Now the lower end of the jet market is doing better while the middle is still very strong.

Total jets are way down, but should recover as the new jet manufacturers such as Honda and Cirrus build up to full production.

Meanwhile, new products such as Cessna’s Latitude and Embraer’s Legacy series appear poised to drive the market back to prosperity.

Turboprops are doing pretty well for themselves.

While the piston market is lagging overall, market leader Cirrus certainly won’t be disappointed in how things are going today.

With the exception of the very top end of the jet market, the rest of the industry appears to be lurching in a direction that is generally headed toward recovery. In the overall scheme of things, that has to qualify as good news.…

In this JETNET >>KNOW MORE analysis Mike Chase and Marj Rose assess the current US Flight Operations trends for business jets along with methods for purchase among buyers…What will their research reveal of today’s market?

CHART A Total US Based Business Jet Flight Operations* s we continue to be optimistic about the slow but steady recovery of the Business Aviation industry, we analyze the total US business jet flight operations to establish perspective on where the market is today, compared with before and immediately after the Great Recession.

Chart A (top, left) illustrates the total US Flight Operations in 2016 and shows these increased by 58,000 (+1.4%) to 4.349m compared with the 4.291m business jet flights recorded in 2015.

As shown, there was a drop of 1.376m flights (28.5%) over the two-year period between 2007 and 2009. Since hitting the 2009 low point (3.449m flights), however, there has been a steady increase in US operations leading up to 2016.

Nevertheless, the 4.349m flights recorded in 2016 were still 9.9% below the peak level set in 2007.

(CAGR) for US Flight Operations from 2009 to 2016 has increased at 6% CAGR (4.349/3.449) compared to the fleet growth of 4.1% CAGR rate.

Interestingly, Non-US fleet CAGR rates have exceeded the US in comparable periods by very significant amounts both in the pre-recession period (2.7% vs 10.0%) and the post-recession period (4.1% vs 7.5%).

Cash vs. Financed Transactions (New and Used)

Table A, above (new jet transactions) and Table B (used jet transactions) show the number of financed vs. cash transactions from 2006-2016, and show that cash is still king in the US jet sales marketplace.

The percentage of cash purchases for new jets has remained in the 69-77% range from 2006 to 2016, although the number of all transactions has ranged wildly between a low of 360 units (2013) to a high of 926 (2008). In 2016, the percentage is 75% cash transactions across a total of 404 transactions.

The percentage of cash transactions in the used jets sales marketplace has risen from 54% in 2006, peaking at 77% in 2011, and stood at 75% in 2016.

Note: The number of used financed and cash transactions are four times the number of new transactions (101 vs. 425 financed; 303 vs. 1,248 cash; and 404 vs. 1,673 overall) in 2016.

Interestingly, in 2016 the New and Used jet transactions were both at 75% in favor of Cash transactions.

Summary

As our industry evolves and the events of the Great Recession become more of a distant memory, the story of the market recovery continues. Flight operations are improving and are now within 10% of the 2007 record level. The share of business jets in operation in the US are back to 60% of the world fleet, but the CAGR growth rates before and after the recession remain higher outside the US. It may be a surprise to some that US business jet transactions continue with cash as the dominant method of payment, but we know many businesses today are cash rich and continue to record solid profits. We hope that corporate success leads to more business jet transactions in the near future. T

Upgrading Your Aircraft (Part 5)

In his ongoing series, Ken Elliott describes how a typical MRO would handle an ADS-B Out installation after an operator has attended a kick off meeting with company personnel. pon arrival at the selected MRO, your aircraft will be assigned a crew chief who is a senior airframe mechanic and proficient with your specific make and model. The crew chief has the delicate task of juggling the schedule, so that avionics, interior and airframe-engine specialists can conduct their work tasks. (Along with engineering, procurement and certification, some avionics tasking is also conducted off the aircraft itself.)

It is common for avionics shops, including those embedded in MROs, to have two primary functions—installation and service. One set of specialists focuses on the upgrade, while the other

handles day-to-day inspection items and repairs.

As the customer, you are likely to find yourself dealing with both.

The avionics team may also be supplemented by a sheet metal and an interior shop, both of which carry out work independently on behalf of the airframe groups. It is surprising just how much interior, sheet metal and even paint touch-up is directly related to an avionics modification.

Note that the interior team will undertake a removal and reinstallation (R&R) of the aircraft interior as required. This may extend to a complete removal of cockpit and cabin furniture, galleys, sidewalls, overheads and bulkheads. Do not be

L E TA ET M ION S H E R I C AT FA B

For an avionics upgrade at the magnitude of ADSB Out, there will be wiring required. The avionics team will conduct some of that preparation away from the hustle and bustle of the hangar floor.

Complex avionics harnesses will route different ways throughout the aircraft, and technicians will pre-lay harnesses on vertical boards in the wiring shop. Each wire is laser stamped with a dedicated code; then each harness is sleeved and marked, making it easier to pin into connectors and better still, troubleshoot later.

Harnesses will typically terminate at connectors or equipment racks. Few owners realize the quality and reliability of these miscellaneous items found everywhere throughout the aircraft. Industry has come a long way, through many costly learning experiences, to today’s modern installation.

On board the aircraft, the avionics technician will connect for power as needed, always with some form of circuit breaker protection. Do you recall the coaxial cables used for television whisker antennas or for video connections between devices at home? Aircraft still need antennas and in some cases may need a dedicated or updated antenna (e.g., ADS-B’s Global Positioning System satellite signal requirements).

The technician will be routing these coaxial cables as well as regular wiring. Coaxial cables can be delicate and often require special care in termination. Another cable that has its own special connectivity tooling is fiber optic, which serves as a super highway for high-speed and broadband data transfer.

Careful thought will be given by the avionics engineer to a whole host of safety, access, routing and future troubleshooting considerations specific to your wiring harness. Both the systems and the certification engineer will have carefully followed a checklist of dos and don’ts to ensure the finished product will pass a quality inspection.

Let’s assume that the aircraft needs two new transponders and upgraded dual GPS for equipage of ADS-B Out. The equipment delivery schedule is, of course, as important as the aircraft work itself. As the aircraft owner or operator, you should not hesitate to confirm the equipment is in-house (ask to see it).

If still on order, make the calls to the modification-shop to ensure the necessary components are on their way. This will become more critical as we draw closer to January 1, 2020 and the remainder of the 15,000 business jets in the US alone are each scrambling for their ‘boxes’.

Figure C: Apart from Safety, there are many check areas the system and certification engineer must consider before releasing your integration design. Above are three that are critical. 

While not equipage per se, the ADS-B Out upgrade requires a special annunciator.

Sophisticated business jets may require a change to an existing unit, system or even software modification, to allow electronic annunciation of ADS-B Fail. Often the installation delay is created because of the time it takes to ship, modify and return aircraft systems.

For both the GPS upgrade and the modification for annunciation, there is a possible need to subcontract the work required. With all the best intentions, shops can fail in this endeavor because of all the touch points involved. From paperwork, to shipping, to factory schedules and inspections, there are many places a slip-up or delay can occur.

Even weather can spoil the plan, especially when the shop had promised just a few days to complete all tasks.

With respect to the Transponders used for ADSB Out, they are required to have extended squitter, widening the bandwidth to accommodate the extra packets of aircraft data the transponder needs to broadcast. These data include a unique 24 bit ICAO address for each aircraft and may be strapped in the aircraft itself or programed into a module. As an aircraft owner or operator, ensure this address is registered and more importantly, correct for your aircraft.

You may know the address but if wrongly strapped or programmed, it will broadcast incorrect information. The Mode S address, as it is known, is tied to the registration number of your aircraft. The FAA registry has a dedicated address for each N number assigned. If you change your aircraft N number, be sure to ‘re-strap’ or reprogram your aircraft equipment accordingly.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

Engineering, Certification & Inspection

In aircraft design there are some baseline considerations for engineering and certification, all of which fall in line behind the overarching criteria of SAFETY (see above figure).

Somewhat behind the scenes, the systems engineer will be fine-tuning existing prints, based on input from the shop floor. It is normal for each aircraft to have slight differences. The older the aircraft, the more likely that will be.

Technicians will discover such irregularities as they progress through the install, and the engineer will clean up the prints and any structural drawing as required. Meanwhile the certification engineer will be finalizing the paperwork to allow any individual approvals to take place. For an ADS-B upgrade, such approvals could be for box mounting and pressure bulkhead penetration, for example.

Each aircraft team will have an inspector (the inspection department falls outside of engineering and systems certification). Inspectors support all work on the aircraft and are responsible to ensure both the quality of the work completed and the overall safety of the aircraft. The certification engineer will be focusing on compliance, mainly with respect to data that systems engineers previously provided and possibly then modified.

The importance of the three support functions of engineering, certification and inspection cannot be stressed enough. Those job functions will ensure safety and very often be the enablers for your aircraft to leave on time. It is not uncommon for a delay to occur because of a minor difference between a drawing and the ‘aircraft as modified’.

However frustrating that minor difference might

As previously noted there is often an installation and service side to the average avionics shop.

Once the work is complete the installation team will hand off the aircraft to the service specialists. The service team will already be involved in items related to an aircraft inspection, conducting routine continued airworthiness tests such as pitot static and verifying system functionality.

Using sophisticated test equipment, technicians will complete performance checks based on manufacturer instructions. Anything found out of order on the upgrade will be reverted to the installer for rework or engineering redesign.

Meanwhile, any equipment found to be faulty will be replaced directly by the service technician. This additional activity may add to the schedule, or at the very least squeeze it into overtime.

be, these corrections must be resolved prior to releasing an aircraft back into service. The final arbiter of the aircraft’s release is the inspector, who has the enormous responsibility for all the work of the MRO’s specialists and for the complete aircraft.

Before final inspection and as part of certification, the engineer (who may be a Designated Engineering Representative for the Airworthiness Authority) will check for conformity and system functionality. The work of the DER is conducted at two levels; a company test with regulatory conformity and test for final approval.

One precedes the other and allows for any corrections to be made, thereby not wasting the time and resources of airworthiness designees. For an STC, the process is significantly involved with many steps and milestones, including design reviews.

For our ADS-B Out example, the extent of the work requires not only a ground test, but also flight check. Before the pilots can launch into the skies, however, the aircraft must go through a final inspection and receive that all-important blessing of the inspector and be documented in the aircraft’s logs.

With respect to ground testing of ADS-B Out, recently the FAA issued a Safety Alert For Operators (SAFO 17002) highlighting the hazards of some ground tests interfering with active air operations. Technicians testing aircraft systems simulate the aircraft at specific altitudes, and the on-board transponder will broadcast that reading along with other ADS-B aircraft information.

If aircraft antennas are not effectively shielded, the simulation of the test aircraft can appear to inflight aircraft as a real target, even a threat, causing the receiving aircraft’s Traffic Collision & Avoidance System (TCAS II), to command a flight deviation.

The SAFO directs modification facilities to consult three different Airworthiness Circulars (ACs) for testing guidance.

For the flight test, it is highly recommended that the aircraft owner’s pilots attend the pre-flight briefing. Knowing ahead of time the test flight profile and its anticipated outcome will be extremely beneficial to all.

The FAA provides for ADS-B Out Validation Flights. A visit to FAA’s website will provide the aircraft owner and MRO with the procedure for a validation flight. A date and time is requested, along with aircraft and equipage details. The flight will be monitored and the results e-mailed. These results are in the form of a Public ADS-B Performance Report (PAPR) and will be release typically within 30 minutes of the actual flight.

Note that ADS-B Out capability includes surface operations. If your aircraft is tested at one of 35 or more Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) equipped facilities, your report will include surface performance. 

“If the answer is ‘no’ or ‘not exactly’, expect added downtime (and cost).”

A User Guide to the report, which can be complex, is available and will be very helpful to operators. Note that the test to verify ADS-B Out performance can also be conducted at any time during normal operations. Because the report also includes error codes and fault indications, it is very useful to provide this information to your maintenance facility if you suspect any performance degradation.

Return to Service

Producing a ‘Return to Service’ authorization is dependent upon a series of steps that the facility working on your aircraft must take beforehand, as highlighted by Figures E (previous page) and F (above).

Product Support

Even though your test flight may have gone per plan, a payment was made and a return to service (RTS) issued, your visit is not complete until you have discussed product support. This can exist on many levels but, at a minimum, you should ensure the following: • Your equipment warranty is filed (or will be); • Some form of installation warranty exists (including workmanship); • You have a good contact for follow-up service; • The operations manual or instructions are in the aircraft (this may exist as a Flight Manual Supplement).

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

In Summary

If you have not already done so and are planning on scheduling your aircraft for an ADS-B Out upgrade to meet the 2020 mandate, hopefully you have gleaned from this and previous articles that there is much to the average work scope. In fact, what occurs behind the scenes is more than twice the activity at the aircraft.

When you see aircraft downtimes promising fiveday turns, ask if your aircraft is the same as the one initially certified, whether the engineering is complete, and if equipment is in-house and harness kits are ready to run. If the answer is “no” or “not exactly”, expect added downtime (and cost). Hence the importance of checking all assumptions and promises long before you turn up with the aircraft.

It always takes a team to accomplish major work on your aircraft. As the owner, operator or designated pilot, see yourself as part of that team; you and your boss will be glad you did. There are many moving parts to the aircraft upgrade, as our ADS-B Out example illustrates.

While this article has covered some of the bigger steps and issues of the installation, there are still many more centered on the logistics of juggling airframe, engines, interior, paint and avionics that demand your attention.

We will address some of those areas next month. T

A Firm Foundation

Let’s begin with a smartphone example. We’ve all seen the snazzy commercials of new, exciting companies, and we have been enticed with their low-rates and expanded features only to see the provider fold due to their financially unviable business model. The consumers that bought their products end up with phones and service plans that are not worth the paper they’re written on.

The technology companies that have been around for many years and have invested hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars on their networks know what it takes to offer a viable and sustainable solution to their customers.

Thus, it’s solutions that should serve as the foundation for research into connectivity equipment for your business jet.

Brian Wilson is the Director, Key Accounts at Gogo Business Aviation, an industry-leading provider of in-flight connectivity and entertainment solutions.

Prior to Gogo, he sat on numerous Dealer Advisory Boards along with being a member of the AEA Board of Directors.

Get Multiple Input

Make sure everyone connected with the airplane has an opportunity to offer their input for the discussion about connectivity solutions. Flight crew, operations personnel, frequent passengers aboard the jet, and the flight attendants all have valid contributions to make.

The more you understand the needs and concerns of the entire team, the better placed you will be to seek a viable and economic solution.

Following those discussions, try to set a priority list based around the features and performance expectations of those who contributed.

Hone in on Technology

Now that you have gathered what the aircraft users and flight department are collectively seeking to do, it’s time to focus on the technology.

The place to start is looking at what’s currently on your aircraft. By doing so, you’ll have assessed what your current system provides and how its features serve what you want to do over the next few years. You will have a clearer picture of needed connectivity improvements. Following are some questions to ask: • ne could justifiably assume consumer anxiety increases when it comes to purchasing technology-related products. Coupled with the fact that technology on-board an aircraft requires extensive installation and downtime (not to mention cost), making the right decision will impact the ability of the aircraft to carry out its essential business objectives.

A costly mistake could also have big implications for the decision-maker’s job. So how do you break down the different components of a cabin connectivity upgrade to ensure anxiety is minimized?

Does your current provider offer an upgrade path to meet your future expectations?

Do they have an upgrade promotion or other financial incentive to ease your transition costs?

Do they have a platform that’s scalable and that might allow you to do some provisioning now to offset future costs?

Invite the sales manager to meet with as many of those who participated in the original discussion as possible. Make it clear to the provider that you either want a product manager there in person or one who can participate in a webinar with your team. It should raise a concern if the vendor can’t provide the time and resources to meet with your department. www.AVBUYER.com

“...seek companies that are financially stable and can offer platforms that are scalable at least 3-4 years into the future.”

At this point, be concerned if a vendor is seeking to conceal some of the details of their technology. Lack of transparency raises questions of whether the provider’s platform and network are fully developed – even if they do already have a secondgeneration solution in mind.

You must also ensure that the provider can substantiate, document and share their technology, and provide a roadmap with your team regarding how their solution will unfold in your aircraft. Always avoid committing to a financial “early bird” discount since you might as well put your money in the cloud!

Forward-Thinking

It’s a fact that technology on-board business aircraft is changing faster than at any previous time. To avoid paying for an outdated solution or requiring a new installation in 1-2 years’ time, you are well advised to seek companies that are financially stable and can offer platforms that are scalable at least 3-4 years into the future.

Although 3-4 years may not sound like a long time, companies vested in technology rarely disclose plans that are 5 or more years out as they must keep their competitive edge.

Narrowing the Choices

Having spoken to various potential providers, you will need to narrow the choices down to 2-3 solutions – after which is a good time to bring in your IT representative and/or your Chief Information Officer (CIO), if you have one.

Set up one more conference call to cover any concerns raised after the review of documentation from your first meeting. Your CIO and IT representatives will undoubtedly bring up a few concerns not addressed in your prior meeting. They’ll focus on

56

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

how secure the network will be, and how the data are protected going to and coming off the aircraft.

Many businesses will want to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Companies that provide both the equipment and service will have their own Cybersecurity people who can sit in on the call and address these important matters.

Moving Forward to Upgrade

After briefing the company CEO or owner of the aircraft and a decision has been made to purchase a solution, it’s time to plan for the upgrade.

Getting three quotes is wise practice, even if you have one specific maintenance provider in mind. Remember to ask for any sales promotions or reward programs that the sales manager discussed with you. (It’s quite astounding how many estimators are not familiar with all the programs surrounding the array of products they promote.)

Nobody likes to hear the word ‘downtime’. One client once protested, “We don’t have these aircraft so they can sit in the hangar”. An operator is forced to use other aircraft when theirs is idle, resulting in increased expenses at the same time their own airplane is absorbing costs because of maintenance.

With that said there’s a bright spot to using the downtime to plan an upgrade of your existing Inflight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC) system. When consulting with the right resources, additional provisional work can also be done that saves downtime and money in future upgrades.

Most installations will require interior and substructure to be removed, so this may be a perfect time to request installation of some ‘provisional’ wiring in the aircraft to save time and money at

the next maintenance interval or when incorporating an anticipated upgrade.

Maybe the ‘roadmap’ provided by your provider shows a future upgrade offering expanded features but requiring interface with other equipment. If so, wiring could be run to each location in readiness, to lessen the expense/downtime later. In the case of an additional antenna that might be added, the coax cable could be run in preparation and stowed.

I’ve experienced push-back from OEMs about doing such provisional work because they questioned the cost savings or challenged whether the new generation equipment will even materialize. But all of the work I recommend helps limit the required downtime in the future (with its associated cost). Instead of doing the next phase of work at a major inspection, you may need only a smaller inspection at a time when the aircraft is not required on a business trip.

Key Questions to Ask Yourselves

Ahead of the connectivity upgrade, and in order to properly plan for this event, your flight department must address a few fundamental questions, including the following: •

What is the primary mission of the aircraft?

•

How long do you plan to keep the aircraft?

•

Where does the aircraft fly; percentage of domestic versus international?

•

Will this change in the future?

•

What do the principal passengers want to accomplish when on board?

•

What are the features and capabilities of your existing IFEC?

•

What are the inadequacies?

•

How does your vision of your future IFEC system coincide with how long you plan to keep your aircraft?

•

How do you solve the shortcomings you have today and prevent yourself from falling into the same situation again just a few years into the future?

In Summary…

Once you’ve picked your connectivity provider, think of that company as your partner in satisfying the one thing we know about our passengers: They always want to be Connected.

Returning to the smartphone analogy – there have been times I’ve been left frowning at my monthly bill and sorely tempted to accept one of those TV offers for a cheaper service. But I always come back to the importance of reliable service. With my present provider, wherever I am in the world I have yet to see those three dreaded words, No Service Available!

Reliability should motivate your buying choice when time comes to upgrade your business jet connectivity. Reliability and dependability in this fast-paced world of technology are driving your purchase decision. T 58

Satellite Services Unplugged The ‘Who’, ‘What’ and ‘Why’ of Business Aircraft Cabin Connectivity Satellite services keep BizAv users connected, but who provides what? Dave Hidgon explores this fascinating technology in practical and understandable terms. nce upon a time, an aircraft’s cabin isolated passengers from direct access to people on the ground, whether desired or not. Then technology introduced an in-flight telephone and communications progressed to a point where virtually every technology available in an office suite can also be found aloft—producing the office in the sky Today's all-access in-flight connectivity solutions exist through the capabilities of several constellations of earth-orbiting satellites (and in some cases with use of ground-based cell towers).

Satellite owners and operators sell the capabilities

and capacities of those satellites to a wide range of service providers who, in turn, sell their hardware and connectivity services to aircraft owners and operators, introducing a new age of global connectivity.

A Potted History of Connectivity

Since the 1980s satellite-based systems have evolved, providing voice and data services on-board business aircraft similar to those enjoyed in the main office. The Iridium satellite constellation brought global phone coverage, albeit at low throughput.

These rudimentary satellite networks, burdened with narrow bandwidth and low data speeds,

Connectivity 2 April.qxp_Finance 20/03/2017 15:42 Page 2

Today’s Satellite Network Providers

inevitably gave way to the advances speeding through ground-based Internet-access systems.

Hot on the heels of the fully-functional airborne office came improved In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems. Soon corporate fliers found that IFE systems could be structured to provide video conferencing, enhancing the existing functions of the airborne office.

Subsequently advances have focused on expanding bandwidth and increasing throughput. As ground networks served up ever-faster connection speeds, savvy in-flight users refused to settle for airborne connections closer to the dial-up speeds akin to the Internet's early years.

Beyond making available at altitude the productive trappings of an office-suite, satellite connectivity options today include Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRSTM) and flight tracking to go along with the communications options of voice and data.

Coupled with ground-based connectivity tools, people in industrialized nations enjoy the option of constant connectivity - from their home, in the car, the office, the airport, while airborne, and all the way back home again.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

If you’re shopping for the latest Cabin Connectivity solution today, it’s worth not allowing yourself to become overwhelmed by the technical issues (such as which band and what service you need) initially.

Instead, start with hardware options approved for the aircraft you operate and then research the service providers available to that equipment. The chances are that you'll find multiple options to satisfy your individual need for connectivity.

Three satellite operators—Inmarsat, Iridium and ViaSat—stand out for their in-flight connectivity products today. With that understood, the vast majority of in-flight connectivity services come through resellers of products from these satellite companies.

These connectivity service-providers make their own hardware engineered to work with the specific satellite provider. Bandwidth, throughput and prices vary depending on the company and service package.

Over the decades, satellites have been launched servicing various segments of the frequency spectrum, from C to K, to Ka and Ku. Indeed, development continues today, and options exist providing high-speed Internet connectivity, wireless Wi-Fi connectivity within the cabin, VoIP voice services, SMS text messaging and email.

Speeds vary according to the satellite and hardware package aboard the aircraft, and connections from a few thousand Kilobits per second (Kbps) to more than 15 Megabits per second (Mbps) provide varying levels of service and capabilities.

Following, we offer a brief outline of the main service providers to Business Aviation operators in today’s market…

Aviation Director Andre Fodor discusses elements of identifying safety concerns and ensuring full buy-in from all levels of management, from top to rank-and-file.

How far will you go to instill a safety-first mentality in your flight department?

uring a recent international trip our flight attendant proudly announced that passengers would be offered two appetizing choices for lunch. When I requested that the first officer and I share half of each meal to sample both, he replied that I should select only one of the meals as a safety measure, thus diluting the risk of food poisoning and the possibility of crew incapacitation during the flight.

It takes time, long-term coaching and consistent effort to instill safety practices that develop awareness and risk mitigation within the flight department. In the above case, a recent training module had included a segment on food safety that had clearly hit home with the flight attendant.

His action was a concrete indication of safety-first thinking.

On another occasion our principal expressed concern regarding food safety for a trip to a location where he previously had experienced food poisoning. In response, we created a three day

presents less risk than ground transportation where top executives often travel in the same vehicle.

Distinguishing Safety

Fully Invested

Understanding the subtle differences between safety and security is no simple task, since safety and security are not identical. Applying a broadstroke approach, it could be said that while security is an action, safety is a mindset – a philosophy about being protected.

For example, passengers are required to pass through airport check points and magnetometers to ensure the security of those who fly. By X-raying baggage, passing through the metal detector and checking names against the no-fly list, risk is mitigated.

On one occasion, as we prepared for a flight to a region that was under a travel alert (due to violence) we considered booking an armored car and private security service. The trip, however, was nonessential. While the armored car and private security would have enhanced security, management decided that the safe option was cancelling the itinerary.

The practice of safety requires deciding on simple, common-sense actions where the benefits are so clearly identifiable that compliance requires little effort. Some Flight Departments (ours included) do not fly key company leadership aboard the same aircraft. Others argue that a business aircraft Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Workplace safety requires Flight Department staff to follow the rules. A senior aviation manager learned a painful lesson when he broke one of our department’s safety protocols regarding cellphone use in the hangar. While preparing for a walk-around inspection he answered the phone and engaged the caller – breaking our first hangar safety SOP - and promptly struck his head hard against the aircraft.

While international mandates may require all flight departments to have a Safety Management System in place sooner or later, we should not rely solely on such documents. We need to adopt progressive actions that, tested and proven, will become the foundation of a formalized program.

Personally, I will not be rushed to achieve safety certification such as an SMS before knowing that the whole flight department is fully invested in its practices. The company’s principal and his leadership team also need to be fully committed to the Flight Department’s safety culture, because ultimately - a company’s safety mandates must come down from the highest level of management.

Safety must be practiced from top to bottom.

Only with such total commitment will a safety program endure. We are indeed each other’s keepers. T www.AVBUYER.com

Addressing Your Overall BizAv Safety Performance How to Improve the Technical Management Aspects of a Flight Department

Whilst the overall safety performance of a corporate flight department revolves around the safe operations of its aircraft, focus shouldn’t be limited to that alone, highlights Mario Pierobon… viation safety regulations prescribe that operators ensure their aircraft are airworthy; that any fitted operational and emergency equipment is correctly installed and serviceable (or clearly identified as unserviceable); that the airworthiness certificates are valid; and that the maintenance of aircraft is performed in accordance with maintenance programs.

Essentially, technical management of the aircraft is as important as its operational management within the flight department. While current Safety Management Systems (SMS) are primarily concerned with operational matters, future SMS requirements will become explicitly applicable to aspects of technical management.

There are many things that can go wrong in a technical department from a safety standpoint.

Following, we highlight three of them as food for thought to help guide SMS implementation into technical areas of the flight department.

Technical Management Resources

Let’s begin with the availability of personnel, resources and adequate facilities to perform continuing airworthiness management services. If the flight department is small, it’s often the case that the technical office consists of one person.

That person may or may not work full-time, and may even work remotely.

Larger organizations, by contrast, require more personnel and some degree of office centralization as the workload increases and the need for improved coordination in the technical department expands.

Yet larger organizations may have a technical department that is still organized like that of a start-up flight department. If that is the case, there is a clear need for a more structured set-up to be implemented, including adequate IT infrastructure and office space.

Working in a less-than-optimal environment leads to poor communication and heightens the

risk of necessary aircraft maintenance activities not being performed on the aircraft.

Technical Training

The training of personnel is another very important aspect of a flight department’s development, and failure to implement adequate training can lead to non-airworthy aircraft remaining in service.

Initial and recurrent training is a way to qualify personnel, maintain their current standards, and advance the skills of personnel performing safety sensitive functions – and yet oftentimes only the bare minimum of training is delivered, limited in some cases to online learning platforms.

While theoretically online training can be as effective as classroom training, we live in an age that offers a lot of distractions. Within a classroom training environment, trainees are less inclined to be distracted by notifications and messages received on their phones or iPads (for example), thus creating a better atmosphere for learning technical safety.

Documentation Management Systems

Another relevant dimension of supporting the technical management of an aircraft is having a good Documentation Management System in place. Revisions to documents produced or customized by the technical office, such as Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs) and Aircraft

76

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

Maintenance Programs (AMPs), are to be implemented in a timely fashion. Furthermore, revision update monitoring needs to be performed recurrently.

Documentation revisions are often performed by manually editing Microsoft Word documents (or similar). More sophisticated database-driven solutions exist that are becoming cost-efficient and provide for a more thorough and consistent approach to documentation management.

One of the main responsibilities of the technical office is to maintain all technical records, the loss of which can mean (among other things) a very significant loss in value of the aircraft.

Today, opportunities for data back-up are nearly limitless with the ever increasing availability of cloud-based data storage services. Yet it may still be the case for some technical departments that all data are saved on a server housed at the flight department’s premises. It really is no longer worthwhile putting all your eggs in one basket…

In Summary…

Safety hazards are present in the technical departments of the flight operation, although they are often more subtle. By looking at the macro areas of resource availability such as those highlighted above, you can start your hazard identification and begin to think of how to apply better control to your technical department.

Checklist Discipline (Part 2)

They’re the Stuff of a Strong Safety Culture Adhering to routine procedures is a necessary requirement for all aviators, regardless of hours logged or years employed as PIC. Even the most mundane trip flown by a highly experienced crew demands consistent use of checklists and SOPs, notes Jack Olcott. hile the factors that lead to an aircraft accident are many and varied, the NTSB offers perspectives that stimulate introspection. Each tragedy analyzed by the Board presents the opportunity to avoid a similar event, such as the loss of a Gulfstream G-IV during takeoff from Bedford, Massachusetts, the night of May 31, 2014.

The trip originated in Wilmington, Delaware with a deadhead leg to Atlantic City, New Jersey to enplane four passengers for a flight to Bedford, a few miles west of Boston where the passengers attended a charity event. Both pilots were Airline Transport Pilot rated, had thousands of flight hours, recent G-IV recurrent training and authorization to fly as the Gulfstream’s PIC, and they had flown together extensively as co-captains.

Upon returning from dinner in Boston, the passengers boarded the G-IV and the crew initiated the departure routine, which involved five specific checklists to be completed before takeoff—Before Starting Engines, Starting Engines, After Starting Engines, Taxi/Before Takeoff, and Lineup.

While parked at Bedford, the aircraft’s internal system for locking the flight controls to prevent movement in gusts and to restrict throttle movement was engaged per normal procedures.

The ‘Before Starting Engine’ checklist calls for disengaging the gust lock, and the ‘After Starting Engine’ checklist specifies full control movement to confirm that all yoke and rudder motion is free and correctly oriented.

As the aircraft turned onto the runway for takeoff, the words RUDDER LIMIT appeared on the aircraft’s Engine Instrument and

Crew Advisory System display, and the Cockpit Voice Recorder captured conversation between the pilots regarding the “rudder limit light” activating, which indicated that the rudder was restricted from reaching its commanded position.

After taxing into position with a takeoff clearance, the PIC advanced the G-IV’s throttles manually but normal takeoff power was not achieved. To correct that situation, the captain engaged the aircraft’s auto-throttle, which resulted in the aircraft’s engine pressure ratios (EPR) increasing from 1.4 to 1.6 and then stabilizing at 1.53 but less than normal takeoff power.

Procedures presented in the G-IV’s Airplane Flight Manual call for the captain to confirm, upon reaching 60 KIAS during the takeoff roll, that the elevators are free and the control yoke has moved aft from the full forward to neutral position.

According to FDR information, the elevator position remained constant at about 13-degrees trailing edge down.

Based upon analysis, the NTSB stated that none of required control checks were conducted and movement of control surfaces was restricted during the aircraft’s taxi and takeoff attempt.

The Second-in-Command gave the proper callout at 80 KIAS and then said “V1” followed four seconds later by “Vr”. Almost immediately thereafter the PIC said “(steer) lock is on”, and then repeated that statement six time over the next 12.7 seconds. An abort was initiated less than five seconds later, but the aircraft’s ground speed was 162 Knots 10 seconds after the call to rotate, and less than 1,400 feet of KBED’s 7,011 foot-long Runway 11 remained.

Sixteen seconds after reaching Vr the Gulfstream exited the runway, rolled over the paved and subsequent grass overrun area, and burst into flames as it stopped in a small gully about 1,800 feet beyond the runway’s departure end.

Both pilots, the flight attendant and all four passengers perished.

Overlooked, or Ignored?

All jobs have their share of routine, much of it boring. Aviation is no different— with one huge exception: What may be overlooked or ignored, such as checklists that indicate gust lock engagement, can be fatal. Searching the accident aircraft’s DFR, the NTSB found that crew of the fatal G-IV had failed to undertake complete flight control checks on 98 percent of their previous 175 flights.

The government’s safety analysts concluded that the co-captains routinely did not follow normal checklists or the optimal challenge-response format of standard operating practices.

Troubled by what they felt was limited information about checklist use prior to takeoff, the NTSB requested that National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convene a committee to examine the nominal practices of the Business Aviation community, and the results of that study should be a wake-up call for all aviators.

Examining three years of data from Flight Operations Quality Assurance programs of business aircraft operators encompassing 143,756 flights, NBAA found that on average crews conducted no manufacturer-required flight control checks prior to takeoff 2.06 percent of the time and conducted only partial control checks on 15.62 percent of flights.

Stated in the aggregate, nearly one of every five flight crews failed to conduct a complete take-off checklist prior to departure during the three years of data studied by the Association.

Checklists are Essential

They may seem repetitious, possibly overly simplistic for the experienced pilot— even boring and time consuming—but checklists are the stuff of a strong safety culture. Checklists are the first line of defense against being lulled into taking safety for granted because the trip is routine or the crew has thousands of hours, including many in the aircraft being flown.

Years of successful missions can dull the sense of challenge and generate the presumption that it is OK to cut corners such as relying on memory. But that feeling of bored self-confidence presents its own risk.

Absolute commitment to using a complete checklist is a key element in combating complacency, the silent killer of professional aviators. T

Turboprops Give More...

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

W

hile exceptions exist, turboprop airplanes offer a common set of attributes that make them an attractive proposition. The powerplants are responsible for most – turboprop engines benefit today from propeller designs that are far more sophisticated than just a decade ago, resulting in lower maintenance costs; longer overhaul cycles; improved climb and cruise performance; and - in turn - reduced noise levels in the cabin.

In addition, specific fuel consumption numbers continue to improve – an attractive attribute given today’s depressed oil prices, with the practical effect of allowing the use of higher power-levels without suffering a proportionate increase in fuel consumption/costs. That, in turn, contributes to improvements in take-off, climb and cruise speed.

Another advantage offered by many turboprops is the single-pilot operational simplicity, engineered into even the multi-engine turboprops. The only exceptions to the sum total of these benefits exist among the unpressurized models that are available and form a small, important and dynamic segment of the turboprop market.

Today’s turboprops offer a broad range of 82

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

turbine performance, propeller cost-effectiveness (some with at - or near to - Light jet cruise performance capabilities) with cabin and cockpit accoutrements that rival the best of the fanjet strata. And on trips of up to 300 nautical miles, the difference in travel time between a jet and a turboprop is negligible.

Turboprop Price Guide

The following Turboprop Retail Price Guide represents current average values published in The Aircraft Bluebook–Price Digest. The study spans model years from 1998 through Spring 2017 (20 year period). Values reported are in US$ millions, with each reporting point representing the current average retail value published in the Bluebook by its corresponding calendar year. For example, the Pilatus PC-12 reported in the Spring 2017 edition of the Bluebook shows US$3.4m for a 2010 model, US$3.2m for a 2009 model, and so forth. Aircraft are listed alphabetically.

Interview by Jeremy Cox

Since the depths of the global financial crisis, some subscribers to engine programs have been opting out of their contracts. They are prepared to gamble that when they come due for overhaul there will be sufficient serviceable ‘mid-time’ engines available to them, costing less than an accumulated hourly service subscription or the actual overhaul shop visit.

Thus Sean Lynch at Engine Assurance Program (EAP) believes there is a large niche for his company to offer a solution to these owners.

Speaking from the perspective of both an Aircraft Broker and a Senior Certified Aircraft Appraiser, I can see many pitfalls for owners choosing to “fly naked” without engine coverage, therefore EAP is a valid solution to the problem some operators are facing.

Following is an interview with Mr Lynch to enable you to decide for yourself.

Cox: Why did you start the Engine Assurance Program (EAP)?

Lynch: A decade ago the average Falcon 50 was worth $10m. Today it is worth between $1m and $2m; yet there are no lower-priced options for engine programs.

That’s a problem we looked to address.

The Engine Assurance Program was created to deliver hourly engine coverage to operators who we believe have been overlooked in the marketplace.

The Honeywell TFE731 and the Pratt & Whitney JT15D power more than 3,000 business jets today. Using our business model, we believe these engines can be operated more economically in the years to come.

JT15D ENGINE

Cox: What kind of savings can an operator expect to make?

Lynch: The Engine Assurance Program costs, as an example, approximately $100/hour less than other engine programs regarding TFE731-3 engine coverage. Therefore, an operator of a Falcon 50 or Falcon 900B that operates three engines for 400 hours per year saves $300 per hour and $120,000 annually without cutting corners.

More information from www.eap.aero Cox: At which point is it best for operators to enroll if they decide this is the right option for them?

Lynch: The best time to enroll is either prior to, or during an aircraft’s sale. By involving EAP during the acquisition, operators can begin saving immediately after they close on the transaction.

Alternately, they could enroll after closing on an aircraft and prior to transferring the existing engine program (if any).

Cox: What are the key features and benefits of this program?

Lynch: Our Comprehensive Coverage Program is a full-coverage program. There are no exhibits in the contract that substantially limit coverage, and operators can be assured that the LifeLimited Components (LLCs), LRUs, rentals, shipping, R&R, and 24-hour AOG service are covered, other than normal stipulations such as misusing or incorrectly maintaining the engines (coverage is always 100% without component exclusions).

Our focus is specifically on the legacy TFE7312, TFE731-3, TFE731-5 and the JT15D-4 and JT15D-5 engine platforms because we fully understand the cost to maintain these engines.

Cox: Where do you plan to be with this program in 10 years from now?

Lynch: I am an entrepreneur, and I have my eyes on other areas of the business I plan to pursue in the future. In 10 years, EAP aims to have 125 people on its payroll, and will have a broader menu of engines it covers.

Customers will still be able to call at any time to discuss their engines and any 24/7 AOG issues. It is ultimately EAP’s hope that these legacy airplanes might fly a few more years, based on the cost savings that it will pass directly to the operators.

Cox: How do you plan to get to that point, 10 years hence?

Lynch: In my 20 years in this industry, I’ve never been involved with any product that has created more excitement or value in the eyes of the endusers. We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to our program within the marketplace to date.

Cox: What is the buy-in and rates comparison?

Lynch: Let me offer an example of when we were contacted by a Falcon 50 operator with 750 hours left before three MPIs came due. Based on the status of the life-limited components, we enrolled all three engines into a comprehensive program for a very competitive buy-in rate, with an hourly rate of $225/hour per engine.

Once the engines go through their pending MPI, the hourly rate will drop to $195/hour/engine, which – I believe – is unheard of in the engine business. Our focus is to aggressively pass savings to clients.

he AvBuyer Magazine Guide to Aircraft Performance and Technical Specification Data is updated by Conklin & de Decker on a regular basis. The Guide is much more comprehensive and informative, providing more aircraft types and models and including variable cost numbers for all models.

This month’s category of aircraft - Turboprops – appears opposite, to be followed by Ultra Long Range & Large Cabin Jets next month.

Please note that this data should be used as a guide only, and not as the basis on which buying decisions are taken. The data presents aircraft aged below 20 years of age only, but Conklin & de Decker provides details of older airplanes too.

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

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

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

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

Height and width are the maximum within that

88

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

cabin space. Cabin Volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs or other furnishings. Cabin Door Height and Width are the measurements of the main passenger cabin entry door.

BAGGAGE Internal baggage volume is the baggage volume that is accessible in flight by the passenger. This amount may vary with the interior layout. External baggage volume is the baggage volume not accessible in flight (nacelle lockers, etc.).

CREW SEATS/SEATS EXECUTIVE This is the typical crew and passenger seating commonly used on the aircraft. This is not the maximum certificated seats of the aircraft. These numbers may vary for different operations (Corporate, Commercial, EMS, etc.).

Weights: • Maximum Take-Off Weight and Maximum Landing Weight are specified during aircraft certification.

• Basic Operating Weight is the empty weight, typically equipped, plus unusable fuel and liquids, flight crew @ 200 pounds each and their supplies.

• Useable fuel is the useable fuel in gallons x 6.7 pounds per gallon (Jet fuel) or 6 pounds per gallon (AVGAS).

• Payload with Full Fuel is the useful load minus the useable fuel. The useful load is based on the maximum ramp weight minus the basic operating weight.

• Maximum Payload is the maximum zero fuel weight minus the basic operating weight.

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

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

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

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

•

VFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters and piston fixed-wing aircraft.

VFR Ferry Range - is the maximum VFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters and piston fixed-wing aircraft.

Balanced Field Length BFL is the distance obtained by determining the decision speed (V1) at which the take-off distance and the accelerate-stop distance are equal (fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft only).

This is based on four passengers and maximum fuel on board (turbine aircraft). For single-engine and all piston fixed-wing aircraft, this distance represents the take-off field length at Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW).

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

Rate of Climb (Ft/Min) The rate of climb, given in feet per minute, is for all engines operating, at MTOW, ISA conditions. One Engine Out rate of climb is for one engine inoperative rate of climb at MTOW, ISA. Cruise Speed (Knots True Air Speed - KTAS) Max Cruise Speed - is the maximum cruise speed at maximum continuous power. This may also be commonly referred to as High Speed Cruise. Normal cruise speed is the recommended cruise speed established by the manufacturer. This speed may also be the same as Maximum Cruise Speed. Long Range Cruise is the manufacturer’s recommended cruise speed for maximum range.

Engines The number of engines, manufacturer and model are shown.

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T AIRCRAFT COMPARATIVE

Aircraft Comparative Analysis Hawker 900XP vs Cessna Citation Latitude In this month’s Aircraft Comparative Analysis, Mike Chase provides information on a pair of popular medium-sized business jets for the purpose of valuing the Hawker 900XP.

O Mike Chase’s analytical and consultancy services are highly valued within the Business Aviation industry. He is founder and president of Chase & Associates, and works closely with several respected sources to compile his unique Aircraft Comparative Analysis feature. Contact Mike via mike@avbuyer.com

96

ver the following paragraphs, we’ll analyse the performance of the used Hawker 900XP and in-production Cessna Citation Latitude to see how they compare in the market.

We’ll consider productivity parameters (payload, range, speed and cabin size), and give consideration to their current market values.

The Hawker 900XP was the newest version and the latest development of the Hawker 800/800XP mid-sized business jet series. The model keeps many of the distinguishing features of the Hawker 850XP such as the winglets, Proline 21 avionics and cabin design, but uses different engines. Those new engines allow it to climb to 37,000 feet in 17 minutes, cruise at 446 ktas and fly up to 2,818 nautical miles with four passengers.

The Hawker 900XP received type certification in 2007 and production ended in 2012 after 183 aircraft were delivered. By continent, North America holds the largest fleet percentage (64%), followed by Asia (17%) and Europe (9%), accounting for a combined total of

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

www.AVBUYER.com

91% of the world’s Hawker 900XP fleet. There are 172 wholly-owned Hawker 900XP jets in operation, an additional 10 that are fractionally-owned and one under shared-ownership, according to JETNET. Twenty-eight (15.3%) of the Hawker 900XP fleet is currently leased.

The percentage of the Hawker 900XP fleet ‘For Sale’ is currently 9.8%, and 78% of those aircraft are under an exclusive broker agreement. The average days on the market before a Hawker 900XP sells presently stands at 313 days.

Payload & Range

The data contained in Table A (overleaf) are published in the B&CA, May 2016 issue but also sourced from Conklin & de Decker.

As we have mentioned previously, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The Hawker 900XP ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ (1,620 lbs) is significantly more than that offered by the Citation Latitude (1,000 lbs).

assets by taking a greater percentage of the deductions during the first few years of the applicable recovery period (see Table C, left).

In certain cases, aircraft may not qualify under the MACRS system and must be depreciated under the less favorable Alternative Depreciation System (ADS) where depreciation is based on a straight-line method, meaning that equal deductions are taken during each year of the applicable recovery period.

In most cases, recovery periods under ADS are longer than recovery periods available under MACRS. There are a variety of factors that taxpayers must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated, and if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that should be utilized. For example, aircraft used in charter service (i.e. Part 135) are normally depreciated under MACRS over a seven-year recovery period or under ADS using a twelve-year recovery period.

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

Table D, middle left, depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2012-model Hawker 900XP business jet in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five- and seven-year periods, assuming a used retail price of $6m, per Vref Pricing guide.

Productivity Comparisons

The points in Chart E (previous page) are centered on the same aircraft. Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in the Vref Pricing Guide. The productivity index requires further discussion in that the factors used can be somewhat arbitrary. Productivity can be defined (and it is here) as the multiple of three factors: 1. Range with full payload and available fuel; 2. The long range cruise speed flown to achieve that range; 3. The cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

Others may choose different parameters, but serious business aircraft buyers are usually impressed with Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size. After consideration of these factors, we can conclude that the Hawker 900XP displays a high level of productivity.

The Hawker 900XP shows a lower retail price (2012 model year vs 2016 model year

Latitude), and slightly greater productivity compared to the Citation Latitude. The Hawker 900XP has a longer range advantage and greater payload with full fuel capability.

Also it offers a lower variable cost per hour advantage. However, the Citation Latitude offers a larger cabin volume and slightly lower cost per mile.

The used Hawker 900XP shows good monthly full retail sale transactions averaging three units per month, and is still a very popular model within the fractional ownership sector. Potential operators should weigh their mission requirements precisely when picking which option is the best for them.

Summary

Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the attributes that business aircraft operators value. There are other qualities such as airport performance, terminal area performance, and time to climb that might factor in a buying decision.

The Hawker 900XP continues to be popular today, and for good reason. Those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison useful. Our expectations are that the Hawker 900XP will continue to do well on the used jet sales market for the foreseeable future. T www.AVBUYER.com

Developing measures and metrics for analyzing the effectiveness of the aviation operation requires clear assumptions. In his 2009 bestseller, ‘Start with Why’, author Simon Sinek talks about successful companies having a knowledge of not only what and how they do things, but having the underlying knowledge of why they do things. For the Flight Department, asking “Why” is also a good place to start.

Why Does the Corporation Have an Aircraft?

The general answer of why have a business aircraft is to support and advance the goals of the company. But why an aircraft, and why gain access to a business aircraft by maintaining a Flight Department?

Ideally a company aircraft makes accomplishing the major goals of the corporation easier to achieve and more effective by reducing time spent traveling and allowing employees to be more productive.

Business Aviation maximizes a corporation’s two most valuable assets—people and time.

The time-value proposition of the business aircraft is where the use of the business aircraft creates or enables sufficient value to offset the costs of the aircraft. But using time more effectively is not the only measure of success.

Recently the Board instituted a global security

program for their top leaders. As a result, all flying by their CEO is via business aircraft. The secure environment of the aircraft was another way that the Flight Department serves the goals of this corporation.

“ What about corporate values?

Does the aircraft reflect those basics?”

www.AVBUYER.com

Understanding the Big Picture

Fundamentally, Flight Department effectiveness is measured by Business Aviation’s impact on the company's goals. Addressing and successfully satisfying the company's Vision and Mission, consistent with the firm’s Governing Principles, defines successful use of business aircraft. What about corporate values? Does the aircraft reflect those basics?

Is the aircraft a sinful indulgence or a powerful tool advancing the goals of the corporation? If you don't define the value of aviation, someone else will. Evaluating the effectiveness of your company’s business aircraft enables the corporation to answer questions about use of business aircraft from inquiring shareholders and the often curious yet uninformed press.

Clear and regular communications between the corporate leadership team and the Flight Department leadership are needed. The aviation manager must be involved routinely with the team or individuals they serve. Some of the best-run and

Never underestimate the power of a regular coffee break chat with the leadership!

Clearly stated corporate goals allow the aviation manager to suggest different ways that the Flight Department can be helpful. Case-in-point: A Conklin & de Decker client became involved ‘downtown’ and saw how much travel time was lost in moving groups of employees between plants. Without sacrificing service to the senior leadership, she built the case for a corporate shuttle to serve the company.

If she hadn't spent time understanding and learning what the company activities were, she might have missed the opportunity to have a positive impact. If the senior leadership expected her to just stay at the airport unless called downtown, she would not have had that opportunity of make a positive suggestion that added to the Flight Department’s effectiveness.

Providing avenues of communication between Flight Department personnel and Top Management enhances effectiveness.

sometimes they shift in new directions in order to be more effective. In day-to-day operations, they don't silo their teams or tell them only what they need to know for their unique part of the project. Management spells out the corporation’s goals and defines success. The best teams are privy to the big picture and contribute to the whole.

Each company should select the metrics that best measures Flight Department effectiveness in satisfying corporate goals.

Traditional yardsticks such as employee time saved, customer visits resulting in new business, time required to meet customer service requests and aircraft load factor may be sufficient.

Benchmarking with other Flight Departments in related industry also is illustrative. But metrics tailored to the specific goals of the company are particularly important in assessing Flight Department effectiveness.

Measuring effectiveness also requires Top Management to examine its relationship and avenues of communication with Flight Department leadership. Business Aviation professionals respond effectively when they understand the job to be accomplished and are provided with sufficient resources to fulfill the task. T

What’s Your Business Aircraft Worth Today?

Points of Value specific to used Bombardier Globals and Challenger Jets ‘For Sale’ Senior Certified Aircraft Appraiser Jeremy Cox continues his new series spotlighting aircraft makes and models and their value points.

This month, the focus is on used Bombardier Global and Challenger jets. eviewing the value of used Bombardier business jets begins by considering the specifics of certain models. For example, at the top end of the Bombardier product line is the Large Cabin & Ultra Long Range Global 6000, which is currently projected by Aircraft Bluebook to accumulate 500 flight hours annually.

The current used Global 6000 market shows there are eight aircraft (from a fleet of 228) ‘For Sale’, offering an average TTAF of 952 hours and an average of 341 landing cycles. That’s an average

ratio of just over two flight-hours, 47 minutes per landing. The average Year of Manufacture of the Global 6000 ‘For Sale’ is 2013.

Meanwhile, the Large Cabin Bombardier Challenger 605 is projected by Aircraft Bluebook to accumulate 490 flight hours annually. Currently there are 25 Challenger 605s from a fleet of 288 ‘For Sale’.

These show an Average TTAF of 2,486 and have an average 712 landing cycles, giving it an average ratio of approximately three hours, 29 minutes flight time per landing. The average Year of Manufacture

of the ‘For Sale’ Challenger 605 is 2009 (eight years old.)

In the Super-Mid-Size category is the Bombardier Challenger 300 which Aircraft Bluebook projects to accumulate 490 flight hours annually. Currently there are 39 aircraft ‘For Sale’ from a fleet of 453.

The current Challenger 300 ‘For Sale’ average shows a TTAF of 2,841 hours, versus an average of 1,521 hours landing cycles, giving an average ratio of approximately one flight-hour, 52 minutes per landing. The average Year of Manufacture of the ‘For Sale’ aircraft is 2007 (10 years old).

Using an older example of used Bombardier jets ‘For Sale’, the Challenger 601-3A/3R is projected by the Aircraft Bluebook to accumulate 425 flight hours annually.

The current 601-3A/3R Market shows 30 aircraft ‘For Sale’ from a fleet of 190, with an average TTAF of 7,780 hours. That’s in comparison to 4,169 landing cycles, which gives an average ratio of just over one flight-hour, 52 minutes per landing. The average Year of Manufacture of the ‘For Sale’ aircraft is 1991 (26 years old).

Avionics Issues Faced by Bombardier Models Today

Buyers and sellers of Bombardier Challenger aircraft need to be aware that FANS 1/1A, and ADS-B still pose issues for some of the older models. For some, it is just not economically feasible to accomplish the necessary upgrade, and asking/selling prices are reflecting this fact.

The same value conundrum can also arise out of the 10-year landing gear overhaul coming due on some models.

Obsolescence, and lack of support for CRT EFIS avionics systems also requires costly ($750k to $1m) Liquid Crystal Display retrofits, especially in the Global Express series.

Residual Values of Used Challengers & Globals

Since January of 2010 to Present, there have been 39 sales transactions on 29 Challenger 600 aircraft, and out of these, eight have resulted in a PartOut/Write-Off of the subject aircraft.

Values for the Challenger 605 can range from $8,500,000 to >$13,000,000 in today’s market.

Into the Super-Mid-size category of Challenger jets, the residual value of a 2003 Challenger 300 is currently at about 35% of its new price, but depending on age and condition, this model’s value will range from $5,700,000 up to >$12,000,000.

Looking at the Global family, the residual value of a 2004 Global Express currently stands at about 31% of its new value.

The first Global Express aircraft are now 18 years old, and for some the selling prices are below $7m, which equates to a residual value of only 18% (the 1999 new price was $38.02m).

Values for used Global 5000s range from $13-30m, depending on year of manufacture/delivery, whereas the Global 6000 normally trades anywhere between $27-41m, even though the available year-models only vary by 2-3 years.

Specific Upgrades/Modifications

Following is a list of Appraised Value Add-Ons for each Bombardier model (note: these are my numbers, not the numbers from the value guides)…

• Challenger 601-1A/3A Extended Range Tank (ER) - $200,000 • Challenger 604 No Auto-Throttle ($250,000 Deduction); FANS 1/1A - $190,000; Heads-Up Display - $300,000.

Are you Buying your First Jet? Assessing the Right Time to Enter Whole Aircraft Ownership Is business class not cutting it anymore? Are you tired of long layovers and the occasional probing inquiry from airport security? For those who are contemplating business aircraft ownership, Jet Tolbert says the Scheduled Airlines’ skies are certainly not your limit! f you have flown with the Scheduled Airlines you have undoubtedly experienced that wish to deplane as soon as possible. If you have yet to own a business jet, but are reading this article, perhaps you have chartered a business airplane (maybe several times) and you appreciate the marked difference that flying privately makes to the quality to your travel.

Perhaps you’re now thinking about how to leave the Airlines for good. Charter trips can seem expensive and difficult to justify at times – but that’s

just when you look at the actual cost per hour flown. There is no doubt that on-demand charter and fractional ownership shares are sold at a premium (and for good reason since they provide unique service).

If you can fill the seats often on your charter flights, you see cost savings over transporting the equivalent number of people business class on the Scheduled Airlines (for charter, you pay to hire the airplane whereas you pay by the seat on the Airlines). Thus charter may have been an

acceptable alternative to the Airlines up to a point.

But when do you know it’s time to fully embrace whole business aircraft ownership and jump into the market to make your first purchase? Whole aircraft ownership might seem like a lot to bite off, but there’s a point at which the numbers become financially justifiable.

For a first-time buyer there are many options that will cap your exposure to the costs of whole ownership, including balancing a lower purchase price with lower operating costs or shared ownership arrangements (which we will discuss in a subsequent article).

These options become even more attractive when you consider that with whole aircraft ownership you are wholly-empowered to determine your own schedule to fly where you want to go, when you want to go.

The Calculable Tipping Point

So how do you know which option is best for you in Business Aviation? As a rule of thumb, if your usage is limited to less than 50 hours travel per year, and you are comfortable with ‘blackout dates’ and advanced scheduling, then on-demand charter and fractional ownership might provide the lift you are seeking.

If you are sure about your usage, maybe a block charter purchase (i.e. 25 hours) is the best way to get guaranteed lift on a fleet of aircraft at a discounted charter rate. (Often a charter operator will discount their pricing in exchange for guaranteed charter usage from specific customers.)

Keep in mind you will want to vet a charter or fractional ownership provider carefully and use qualified aviation counsel to review any agreements you make. A proven track record from the provider in terms of safety, and the firm’s ability to perform as promised are paramount to a successful charter experience.

114

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

There is a break point, however, somewhere around the 100-150 hours level where charter and fractional ownership solutions become much more difficult to manage. It’s at this point that purchasing an aircraft becomes very attractive.

Need more proof to share with your CFO and get a nod from a partner? Any reputable broker will be able to assess your charter and fractional usage and estimate your expenditures to create a pro forma under different aircraft acquisition scenarios.

When accounting for the myriad of variables, and with professional counsel to structure the ownership experience correctly, some Business Aviation users flying relatively few hours a year have found they are very satisfied transitioning to fullownership status.

Getting it Right

For many businesses, individuals and families, what truly makes aircraft ownership worth the money and effort is the difference it brings to the new owner’s life in terms of time savings, productivity and flexibility – all vital tools to a business or entrepreneur seeking to get out ahead of the competition.

The complexities of ownership are not easily navigated without knowledgeable, professional guidance. Forming a strong relationship with the right partner can deliver the benefits of Business Aviation and the enhanced, enriching travel experience you want and deserve. T

One Aviation Considers Eclipse 550 Production Future Company Works Toward 2018/2019 Eclipse Canada Introduction

OEM Bites Bombardier Business Aircraft announced the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft program's second flight test vehicle (FTV2) completed its initial flight recently.

The Canadian OEM also opened five new line maintenance stations across Europe, located in Linz, Austria; Nice and Cannes, France; and Milan and Olbia, Italy. These will provide scheduled line maintenance along with unscheduled and AOG maintenance support for Bombardier aircraft in the region. www.businessaircraft.bombardier.com GULFSTREAM

One Aviation continues to work toward bringing the Eclipse Canada on stream while simultaneously considering future production for the 550. nveiled last year, the Eclipse Canada will replace the Eclipse 550 - but may not be available until late 2018 or early 2019. The Eclipse Canada, will feature longer wings (by two feet on each side), 7% more cabin and 31% more baggage volume, and an anticipated range of roughly 1,400nm.

The aircraft is expected to be powered by larger P&WC PW615 turbofans.

Alan Klapmeier, Chairman, One Aviation stated that the company is considering ending production of the Eclipse 550 after the next five aircraft (all planned for delivery this year) are placed with their respective owners.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – April 2017

When One Aviation resumed production of Eclipse aircraft, the company was able to utilize a backlog of already-developed components for the aircraft’s PW610 engines. But now the program has run through those components, a decision is required about whether to restart a production line for a short time at a relatively low rate.

Klapmeier is not completely ruling out closing down production of the 550, as the company works out the timing on an order it received from Chinese buyers for 20 units.

Gulfstream’s second Gulfstream G600 completed its first flight, spending 4 hours and 26 minutes in the air and officially joining the flight-test campaign. Gulfstream anticipates receiving type certification from the FAA in 2018, with customer deliveries scheduled for later the same year. www.gulfstream.com Piaggio Aerospace is making its Avanti EVO aircraft available in MedEvac and other special missions configuration with an enlarged cabin door as an option. “The Avanti EVO characteristics, overall performance, pressurization and roomy cabin, and now an enlarged door, make it the perfect platform for fulfilling medical operators’ needs,” remarked Piaggio Aerospace CEO Renato Vaghi.  www.piaggioaerospace.it PIAGGIO

Tri-Jets have earned a stellar reputation among owners and operators and usually command higher resale values than the competition.

With efficient space management the Falcon 900 aircraft have a larger passenger seating area than the Gulfstream IV. These Tri-Jets weigh 15 tons less and are 22 feet shorter, providing 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.

The Falcon 900EX equipped with API's Blended Winglets and the Falcon 900LX are considerably more capable than the Falcon 900EX. Revolutionary and the world's first purpose built fly-by-wire (FBW) business jet, the Falcon 7X capitalizes on Mach 2 technology.

AVAILABLE: FALCON 900B
