Editor’s

Welcome

A Worthy Profession eaders of this publication are engaged in an endeavor that contributes to society. As users of Business Aviation or as professionals providing their knowledge and acumen to owners and operators of business aircraft, AvBuyer’s audience participates in a unique form of transportation that is essential to the ebb and flow of commerce throughout the globe.

Transportation is an enabling technology for economic growth and improved quality of life.

History bears witness to the pervasive role that improved mobility of people and goods play in the progress of societies. When a region established roads in ancient times, commerce expanded and people benefited.

The nautical abilities of European and Asian nations enabled commerce and culture to expand throughout the globe before there were other means to travel long distances. Colonial America built canals and eventually the railroads to facilitate growth. Today, long-range jets shrink the time and effort needed to bring peoples and businesses into productive contact, enabling better understanding and cooperation between different societies and cultures. As described with detailed introspection in the recently published book ‘Door to Door’ by Edward Humes, every part of our daily lives is impacted and improved by transportation.

Business Aviation is an essential component of transportation today. The form of travel that AvBuyer embraces with conviction and passion augments the role of the Scheduled Airlines by enabling mobility between locations unserved by airliners. Entrepreneurs and business leaders require the mobility and scheduling flexibility of Business Aviation to work their magic, thereby creating jobs by expanding a company’s reach and facilitating commerce by returning dividends to investors and shareholders.

Business Aviation contributes uniquely to economic growth and improved quality of life as it facilitates the productive use of time by creative business men and women. AvBuyer is dedicated to serving the informational needs of those who are engaged in the worthy profession of Business Aviation.

To the many readers who participated in the recent Editorial Survey of this publication’s content, we offer our sincere thanks. AvBuyer is focused on serving you, the Business Aviation user and professional. The more we know about

your needs for meaningful intelligence, the better we can do our job. We value your input and encourage your dialogue with this publication.

In This Issue Adding to Rolland Vincent’s insightful analysis of today’s Business Aviation marketplace, Mike Potts provides coverage of the Q1 2016 Shipment Report from General Aviation Manufacturers Association. Mike Chase adds to that collection of intelligence with his presentation of JETNET data to analyze new and used airplane sales trends.

(Reader response to AvBuyer surveys consistently show that articles such as those presented by Vincent, Potts and Chase provide important data that Business Aviation professionals use in pursuit of services to the owners and users of business aircraft).

Ken Elliott presents the first of a two-part series updating developments in the ongoing saga of NextGen, this month concentrating on ADS-B and the latest directives related to FANS. Dave Higdon continues his examination of operating and equipment required throughout the globe’s Flight Information Regions, this month focusing on Europe. Readers tell us that AvBuyer coverage of government mandates and regulatory issues are essential and greatly appreciated.

Articles on safety, such as Mario Pierobon’s analysis of a seemingly harmless incident involving the misidentification of a destination airport, also are sought by our readers while discussions of new technologies, such as Dave Higdon’s perspectives on EFBs and the application of offthe-shelf commercial hardware (e.g., iPads), address current operational challenges facing AvBuyer readers.

For Aviation Managers, we present Jodie Brown’s feature on employee motivation, David Wyndam’s treatment of financial tools for communicating with the company’s CFO, and Andre Fodor’s discussion on the need to buy a jet with the long view in mind. In continuing response to Reader demand, we offer Mike Chase’s unique Comparative Analysis—this month examining the Pilatus PC-12 NG. We trust you will find this issue, and all issues of AvBuyer, essential reading as you seek Business Aviation Intelligence.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Business Aviation Market Summary With inventory for sale on the increase, and asking/transaction prices continuing to

slide, the market for pre-owned business jets remains active as we near the halfway mark in 2016, notes Rollie Vincent, Editor, Market Indicators... ith the closing of 2,300 whole retail business jet transactions through the end of April on a trailing 12-months (TTM) basis, pre-owned jet sales continue to outpace new business jet deliveries by more than 3-to-1, according to JETNET records.

Dealers, brokers, financiers, lawyers, title and escrow agents, and other professionals who participate in the business of business jet sales are collectively a very busy bunch, with worldwide pre-owned transaction levels remaining at their highest levels yet, measured on a TTM basis. With all that activity, it is important to note that this is truly a buyers’ market, with exceptional quality aircraft available at prices that offer unsurpassed value-for-dollar.

New Aircraft Markets

As always, GAMA’s highly anticipated aircraft shipments report (Q1 2016) provided numerous insights into the state of the market.

Factoring in an estimate for missing Dassault Falcon Jet deliveries (they have shifted to reporting shipments only twice per year), new business jet shipments are essentially flat Yearover-Year (YoY). Recognizing that shipment data are mostly lagging indicators of past order activity, we note that aircraft manufacturer book-to-bill performance was below 1.0 for the industry in Q1 2016, implying backlog erosion.

Based on regulatory filings, the ‘Big 5’ OEMs (Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer, Gulfstream and Textron) collectively had US$37bn of firm orders in backlog at the end of 2015, which was down 18% YoY. Q1 2016 book-to-bill performance was improved over that for the entire year 2015, but was still below 1.0. Bombardier (which accounts for almost half of the industry backlog) had a good order experience in Q1 2016, notably booking 20 Challenger 350s from an unidentified customer.

Used Aircraft Inventory

Taking a look at the market from a 50,000-foot perspective, pre-owned inventory for sale 20

levels have been creeping upwards across almost all aircraft size categories, although the traditional “mid-size” and “large” jet segments are among the hardest hit over the past 6-12 months. Compared to pre-2008 crisis conditions, there is now considerably less distinction among business aircraft size categories in terms of available inventory (see Chart B, opposite).

Large cabin and long range jet categories have been the absolute darlings of the market up until recently, with very limited availability of aircraft in these segments prior to 2008.

Collectively, inventory for sale has now increased into the 9-12% range for large cabin business jets, with the ultra-long-range jet category having the least availability within the high-end of the market. Attractively priced aircraft are presenting some tempting step-up opportunities for owners and operators eager to see themselves in a larger aircraft.

In some cases, though, buyers should be aware of, and consider the total costs of ownership and operation before making such a commitment. As always, we recommend that buyers seek out the services of reputable dealers, brokers and other transaction advisors to guide them through these decisions. What might look like an attractive buy could end up being a poor fit and essentially the wrong aircraft for a customer’s primary missions, with higher operating costs and potential maintenance ‘gotchas’ that could lead to buyer remorse.

A Note on Model Retirements...

Besides aircraft transaction trends, we always keep a high-watch on aircraft operations as an indicator of industry health. Based on the latest FAA data through the end of Q1 2016, total business jet cycles were up about 1.4% YoY on a TTM basis, buoyed by higher domestic flying (up 2.2%) offset by less international operations (down -2.8%).

US domestic flying accounted for about 84% of all FAA business jet cycles in the most recent 12-month period, up marginally YoY. At 4.3 million cycles, US business jet operations Aircraft Index see Page 153

rule of early returns and quick paybacks. With the industry still in its infancy stages – more than 60% of the world fleet of business jets is in just one country that has only 25% of the world’s wealth – prospects for growth are everywhere.

This is an important investment consideration in what is absolutely a dramatically cyclical market. As always, opportunities come to those who are actively prepared to find them.

pickin’. For manufacturers, we suspect that this will be a very tough call – a decision that impacts the entire supply chain, top line revenues, payback periods on prior investments, employment levels, and market share if competitors do not follow.

This is a most unfriendly market for new entrants, particularly those with aspirations of an early payback. In a world no longer accustomed to longrange strategic planning, capital-intensive industries like aircraft manufacturing are an exception to the

have only just recently returned to 2003 levels, despite the fact that the underlying fleet has grown 50% (from 8,500 jets to more than 12,800 jets today). We are clearly in an oversupplied market, and pressures are mounting for both lower new aircraft production rates and higher retirement rates of older aircraft.

With such reduced flight activity in the world’s most significant business jet jurisdiction, it seems clear that older aircraft that have not flown much if at all recently may be ripe for the (boneyard)

-0.5% from April 2015. The Fractional market saw red for the month, posting a decrease of -4.7%.

Flight activity for the aircraft category was more negative than positive, with large cabin aircraft recording the only YoY increase, up 1.4%. Small cabin and turboprop aircraft posted slight decreases, down -0.2% and -0.4% respectively. Mid-size aircraft recorded the largest YoY decrease, down -2.1%. The largest gain for an individual segment occurred in the fractional large cabin segment, which saw an increase of 8.3%.

There were 63,602 Business Aviation departures in Europe in April 2016 according to WINGX’s latest monthly Business Aviation Monitor, representing 0.1% YoY growth in activity. Business jet flights were up 2.0%, although Turboprop and Piston activity declined 2-3%. Year-to-Date (YtD) 2016 still trails 2015 by -1.6%.

Relatively strong growth was seen in Western Europe, with activity up in all leading markets except Switzerland, and an overall YoY trend of 1.6%. Germany and Spain were the strongest markets whilst most of Europe’s growth in April came in AOC flights, up 2.8% for business jets.

Several smaller markets also saw some growth this month, with flights from Norway up 8%, Czech Republic up 10%, and Belgium up 15%. From each of France, Turkey, Sweden and Russia, April’s activity was down by at least 100 flights YoY. Flights from South and East Europe declined -2%, deteriorating on 12 month trends. Arrivals from Russia into Europe were down -11%, an improvement on the recent trend, while transatlantic flights were up 5%, and Middle East connections were up 2%.

MI www.argus.aero

Aircraft Segments

The strongest growth came in the Very Light Jet segment with activity up 22% YoY. Both Mustang and Phenom 100 flights were well up, especially for Charter activity. The Light Jet segment was up 2.5% overall, ahead of the 12month trend of 1.3%. Most of the decline in Turboprop activity came in AOC flights, down by -6% although private flights on PC-12 and Piaggio Avanti aircraft continued to make strong gains in activity.

Richard Koe, Managing Director of WINGX noted, “The declining trend in Q1 did not extend into April, with stabilization in the UK market and growing activity in Germany making for a small recovery… The longer term activity trend is still pointing to a cool-off in large cabin activity, growth in light aircraft flights, and more resilience in the midsize jet segments.”

Gulfstream Quarterly Market Update The following Q1 2016 Gulfstream Quarterly Market Update is presented by Hagerty Jet Group, a leading brokerage firm providing aircraft sales, marketing and acquisitions services…

Deutsche Bank’s aerospace and defense analyst, Myles Walton, recently downgraded General Dynamics’ stock citing “alarming” inventory and sales trends surrounding its Gulfstream business jets. He said the G650 inventory and price trends are “quickly becoming a problem”, noting that production has been as much as 20-30% ahead of true demand.

The article prompted a buzz in the Business Aviation community, but the news wasn’t a surprise to those who have been closely watching the G650 market over the past 12 months. Less than a year ago pre-owned G650s demanded a sizable premium, earning several order holders $10m+ from their initial contract price. Demand came primarily from buyers who did not participate in the introductory 2008 lottery.

In April 2008, buyers signed contracts for G650s before the ‘Great Recession’ started. Placing a non-refundable deposit with Gulfstream for a few million dollars appeared to be a safe and smart bet. The first airplanes wouldn’t deliver until late 2012 and for most order-holders, large deposits wouldn’t come due until 2014/2015. Further, Gulfstream increased the base price by nearly 10% for all subsequent orders, so most speculators thought they had some cushion.

The first G650 resale closed in September, 2013. Prices started in the high $60millions, quickly crept into the low $70millions, and topped out in the mid-$70millions in January, 2015. There was little or no supply of aircraft for sale in the secondary market and the manufacturer was the only option due to backlogs of over three years. Position-holders who no longer needed or wanted their G650s proceeded with their contractual obligations and took delivery of their airplanes with intent to re-sell them for premiums. It worked for a while until the supply started to increase in mid-2015.

There have been approximately 36 G650 resale transactions since 2013 which means that nearly 20% of the current fleet has been re-sold over that period; an average of one per month. The current supply of 21 aircraft for sale means we have almost a two-year absorption rate.

secondary market as a basis to determine whether selling is a viable option. Therefore, with increased market weakness, there’s a good chance that Gulfstream will begin to see a trend of cancelled orders. Keep in mind, the majority of G650 orderholders intend to put their aircraft into service. However, 20% of speculators or those whose financial situation has changed will continue to list their aircraft and bring this market down thus making it harder for the OEM to sell new positions.

Duetsche Bank estimates that two thirds of the profit in the aerospace segment is coming from G650 deliveries. GD already reduced production for the G550 and G450 models citing weak foreign demand. Although initial demand for the new G500 has been good, the first airplane won’t deliver until 2018. It’s also possible that potential G500 and G600 buyers will be cannibalized by pre-owned G650s that will sell for less and offer greater cabin size and capability. General Dynamics has three options to address the over production of G650s.

1) They can cut production at the expense of their shareholders but increase values for their customers; 2) They can continue current production rates and flood the market with unwanted aircraft, which will drive values down and eventually cannibalize their new product line with used G650s; or 3) They can pray that the Global Economy has a dramatic recovery in the next 24 months.



Slowing Transactions

Today, transaction levels are slowing substantially. Demand has diminished because the majority of the buyers who were frustrated by the wait between 2013 and 2015 have already purchased used G650s.

There are nine Ferry Time Only aircraft currently on the market, none of which have sold since last September. It’s time to acknowledge that buyers no longer need to pay a premium for a new G650 and they don’t need to get in line at the OEM. Very large deposits come due one-year ahead of delivery for original order-holders. If an order-holder is uncertain whether they plan to put the aircraft into service, they will need to make a decision to forfeit their liquidated damages or complete their contractual obligations and face a potentially more competitive re-sale market?

Speculative order-holders look to the strength of the 26

AEA Q1 2016 Avionics Market Report In the first three months of 2016, total worldwide Business and General Aviation avionics sales amounted to >$566m, reports AEA...

The Q1 2016 figure represented a -3.6% decrease in sales compared to Q1 2015, which was >$587m. The $566m reported for Q1 2016 (using net sales price) includes all Business & General Aviation aircraft electronic sales, excluding repairs and overhauls, extended warranty or subscription services.

Of the >$566m in Q1 2016 sales, 54.7% came from forward-fit sales (avionics equipment installed by airframe manufacturers during original production). By contrast, the retrofit market (avionics equipment installed after original production) amounted to 45.3% of Q1 sales.

According to the companies that separated their total sales figures between North America (US and Canada) and other international markets, 64.9% of the Q1 2016 sales volume occurred in North America while 35.1% took place in other international markets.

“It's disappointing that total worldwide sales are off to a slower start compared to the first three months a year ago,” summarized AEA President Paula Derks. “Sales in the forward-fit market were nearly identical to last year, so the overall decline was mostly felt in the retrofit market. With more than 30 new avionics products and services introduced to the market at the recent AEA Convention, industry will hopefully see improved sales figures later this year.”

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

In-Service Aircraft Maintenance Condition & Price An Asset Insight Quarterly Market Analysis was conducted on April 29, 2016 covering 91 fixed-wing models and 1,908 aircraft listed ‘For Sale’. Here are the findings.

The analysis revealed: ‘Excellent’ Asset Quality; record low average Ask Price; a better/lower than average Maintenance Exposure value; and, a 2.2% worse/higher Maintenance Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio.

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

Quality Rating worsened slightly, falling 1.7 AI2 basis points, to 5.344 from last month’s 5.361, on the AIQ Rating scale of -2.5 to 10.

Maintenance Exposure (ATFE Value): Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated maintenance financial exposure) worsened by 3.1% over the past month, increasing over $42k to $1.42m from $1.38m. By aircraft group, the Asset Quality Rating and Maintenance Exposure figures were as follows...

Large Jets: ‘Outstanding’ asset quality (consistently the best among all groups) at 5.501, slightly worse than last month’s 5.531; Maintenance Exposure worsened over 5%, increasing from $2.885m to $3.033m.

• Medium Jets: ‘Excellent’ asset quality at 5.376 (versus last month’s 5.386), keeps the group in third place; Maintenance Exposure worsened slightly, increasing to $1.262m from $1.235m.

• Small Jets: Once again retained second place with ‘Excellent’ asset quality at 5.385, versus last month’s 5.414; Maintenance Exposure improved $5k, decreasing to $710k – the group’s best figure for the past twelve months.

• Turboprops: ‘Very Good’ asset quality at 5.016, a slight degradation from last month’s 5.024; Maintenance Exposure remained virtually flat at $556k, versus last month’s $558k.

•

Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio

Spread in the ETP Ratio (the aircraft’s Maintenance Exposure divided by its Ask Price) remained virtually unchanged since last month, while the average ETP Ratio worsened slightly; increasing to 51.3% from 50.2%, with all four groups losing ground.

Generally higher Maintenance Exposure figures and a slight Ask Price decrease – resulting in a record low average Ask Price figure – were the primary drivers.

Asset Insight considers any ETP Ratio over 40% to represent excessive Exposure in relation to Ask Price, so the increase – even though slight – is not a positive development for Sellers. By aircraft group: • Large Jets: ETP Ratio worsened 4.7%, increasing to 35.4% from 33.8%, but was still the best ETP Ratio among all groups. Ask Price fell to $14.39m from $14.89m – a 3.3% change leading to the group’s lowest 12-mointh figure. For Buyers, this group continues to offer great values. For Sellers, falling Ask Prices for high quality assets has to be creating consternation. Considering the pricing challenges faced by OEMs, we doubt that in-service aircraft Sellers will see much improvement any time soon – especially if their aircraft’s Quality Rating is in the lower half of the range.

• Medium Jets: ETP Ratio worsened slightly, increasing to 54.0% www.AVBUYER.com

Aircraft Index see Page 153

from 53.3%, but remained noticeably below the group’s 12-month 57.0% average. With the group’s Ask Price decreasing another 1.5%, prospective Buyers can find good values and are encouraged to act.

Small Jets: ETP Ratio worsened slightly for this group too, increasing to 67.0% from March’s 12month low of 66.3%. Ask Price, on the other hand, continued climbing, registering another record high at $2.21m. While this might be good news for some Sellers, Asset Insight does not believe the price increases are sustainable, and believes market saturation is approaching for a number of popular models.

Turboprops: The group’s ETP Ratio was second best among all sectors but worsened noticeably, increasing to 44.7% from last month’s 43.5% – just below the group’s 12-month 44.8% average – while Ask Price increased under $10k to match the group’s annual average. Over the past 12 months, the Ask Price high/low differential has been under $81k, making large value swings for this group unlikely.

Market Summary

Asset quality of the ‘For Sale’ fleet continues to be Excellent, with this month’s figure only slightly below March’s record best. With overall Ask Prices at an alltime low, great values are available within all groups – with the possible exception of a few Small Jet models. Most Sellers that assumed their asset would increase in value are probably not pleased right about now. For those not making that mistake, their aircraft’s Asset Quality Rating will play a major role in its marketability.

As for Buyers, it is statistically unlikely they will see asset quality post a substantially better figure than what is presently available, so there is every reason to act – but only after appropriate due diligence.

Remember, a low price does not necessarily mean good value, and it could make you the asset’s unintentional final owner.

GAMA Q1 2016 Shipment Analysis

Anyone looking for recovery in the business aircraft market will find the Q1 2016 delivery numbers from GAMA a distinct disappointment, notes Mike Potts. GAMA reported new business aircraft shipments totaled 422 units, down 3.7% from the 438 shipped in Q1 2015....

Mike Potts is respected industry-wide as an aviation journalist. He has worked in the communications departments of Beech Aircraft, Sino Swearingen and M7 Aerospace, and has been analyzing GAMA’s delivery reports for AvBuyer since 2003 where he has built an excellent track record for accurate shipment predictions.

his was the lowest Q1 for unit deliveries since 2012 and the fourth worst since the turn of the century. Deliveries in every category of aircraft – jets, turboprops and pistons – were down, and total billings for the first three months of 2016 were listed at $4bn, down 9.5% from $4.4bn a year ago. The reduction in billings indicates trouble in the highend of the jet market, which had previously been relatively immune from the market difficulties of less expensive aircraft in recent years.

As listed by aircraft category, jet deliveries totaled 122 units, off 4.7% from 128 a year ago.

Turboprops were reported at 109, down 6.8% from 117 in Q1 2015. Piston aircraft were essen-

tially flat at 191 units (off two units from 193 last year). GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce cited “retrenchment in the energy sector as well as global geopolitical and economic insecurity” for the market’s difficulties.

Perhaps the soft market should not be too surprising. Both Honeywell and JETNET iQ predicted that the business jet market might not be as strong this year as it was in 2015. Based on these Q1 results, the forecasters may prove to be accurate.

Unfortunately, a change in how one jet maker reports its data is causing the GAMA report to be a less reliable indicator of subtle changes in the market than it once was…  Aircraft Index see Page 153

Jet deliveries are off to their worst start since 2004 when just 114 jets delivered in the first three months. First, however, a little history to help offer perspective: The worst year for jet deliveries in the 21st century was 2003, when just 101 jets would be delivered in Q1, and 518 for the whole year. The second weakest year was 2004, although the market was picking up fairly strongly from 2003, so at the time things will have seemed good. In fact 2004 marked the beginning of the big turnaround. The market would explode over the next five years, peaking at 1,313 jet deliveries in 2008.

The over-heated market of 2007-2008 was unsustainable. Accompanied by a worldwide financial crisis that began at the end of 2008, the jet market plummeted and never recovered. For a time there was speculation about when the market might return to levels above 1,000 jets per year.

The consensus now is that it won’t happen in this decade and deliveries in the 1,200 range may never recur at all.

Today, an 800-unit annual jet market would be considered a significant recovery.

The last time we were there was 2009 when deliveries reached 870. Since 2010 jet deliveries have been in the high 600s to low 700s, peaking in 2014 at 722. Based on this year’s start we may do well to reach 700 jet deliveries at the end of 2016.

This year’s jet market is actually a little bigger than the 122 units GAMA is reporting. That’s because Dassault is only reporting its delivery total every six months rather than quarterly. The change is related to how Dassault reports its overall financial results, but the impact will affect the GAMA report from this point forward, causing the jet market for Q1 and Q3 to be somewhat understated.

To keep the YoY numbers comparable, at least for this past quarter, GAMA has reduced the 2015 jet total in its comparison report removing the Dassault Q1 2015 delivery total (6 units). Would Q1 2016 still be the worst for jet deliveries since 2004 if Dassault had reported? Perhaps - but based on the performance of its closest competitors, not very likely at all.

Of the eight jet OEMs reporting deliveries to GAMA, four had improved results and four lagged behind their 2015 performance. Among the four with negative results were both of the major big cabin jet builders, Bombardier and Gulfstream, which had double-digit percentage reductions. If Dassault’s performance was similar, its total might have pushed 2016’s Q1 jet total above 2012’s, making 2016 only the 36

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

second worst Q1 for jet deliveries since 2004. Bolstered by the delivery of seven of its new Latitude models, Cessna captured first place in the business jet category – a position it routinely held up until the middle of 2012 but has since ceded to Bombardier when the market for lighter jets softened. Cessna finished Q1 with 34 deliveries, up by a single unit from the 33 it had last year. Bombardier finished in second position with 31 deliveries, down 31.1% percent from the 45 it reported in Q1 2015.

Gulfstream was third in jet deliveries with 27 units, down from 32 a year ago. In spite of this percent reduction, Gulfstream is still in its typical first place position for billings with a total $1.39bn. Bombardier was second with $1.28bn.

As it did with the unit deliveries, GAMA www.AVBUYER.com

adjusted its billings numbers for comparison purposes to account for Dassault reporting no Q1 2016 billings. Dassault had contributed $212m to the $4.59bn GAMA reported in Q1 2015.

Fourth place in jet deliveries went to Embraer with 23 units, up an astonishing 83.3% from a year ago when it shipped 12.

Like Cessna, Embraer’s total was boosted by deliveries its new Legacy 500 model.

In some respects what didn’t happen in the jet market in Q1 is as interesting as what did occur. Honda’s deliveries were expected to accelerate sharply now that the HondaJet is certified. The company forecast delivery of 36 or more units this year, but in Q1 only three were made, putting Honda in a tie for fifth place in jet deliveries with One Aviation (formerly Eclipse).

Honda and One were among the four jet OEMs with increased deliveries for the quarter, with Honda up from zero last year and One up from two units. A strong performance from Honda over the remainder of the year could go a long way to salvaging the jet market for 2016.

The Turboprop Market

In the turboprop market the news is a little better than the GAMA report would initially reveal. Deliveries of twin-engine turboprops are actually ahead of last year by 3.85%. Single-engine turboprops are lagging last year’s market, but much of the shortfall is in the agricultural aircraft and is thus unrelated to Business Aviation shipments.

Among the traditional business aircraft manufacturers, single engine deliveries totaled 45 aircraft, three units off the Q1 2015 total. Of the eight traditional turboprop manufacturers, two had improved results, three matched their 2015 total in 2016 and three reported fewer deliveries this year than last.

Textron Aviation’s Beechcraft division led the business turboprop market with 26 units, up one from the 25 it reported last year. Pilatus took second place with 19 38

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

deliveries, up more than 171% from the seven it shipped in Q1 last year. Third place in the business turboprop market was Cessna, with 12 deliveries down one from Q1 2015’s 13 shipments.

Quest and DAHER were tied for fourth place with five units each. For DAHER that represented a shortfall of six units from the 11 it delivered in Q1 2015. Quest matched its Q1 2015 total. Accounting for the balance of the business turboprop deliveries were Piper (2, down from 11 a year ago), Pacific Aerospace (1) and Piaggio with one (matching its Q1 2015 performance).

Piston Summary

In the piston category this year’s total of 191 units almost matched last year’s 193 unit benchmark. GAMA cited stability in the piston market as something of a highlight. It turns out that piston market stability is a product of a sharp upturn in piston twin deliveries (better than 41%) balancing a shallow downturn (about 5%) in single-engine piston sales.

Among the piston OEMs, five had improved single-engine deliveries, seven were down from and year ago and one was even. Leading the single-engine piswww.AVBUYER.com

ton market by a wide margin was Cirrus (57 units, up from 43). That’s a gain of 32.6% over Q1 2015. Coming in a distant second was Cessna, with 27 deliveries, down from the 44 it reported in Q1 2015.

Piston twin deliveries totaled 24 units, with Diamond leading the pack at 10.

Diamond’s total was boosted by the introduction of its new DA-62 model.

Also delivering piston twins were Tecnam with eight, Textron Aviation’s Beechcraft unit with five and Piper with one.

GAMA has long asserted that the introduction of new models stimulates the market. The Q1 2016 report contains significant evidence to support that claim, with new models in all three categories seeming to drive their builders to improved sales.

It’s just unfortunate that so many new aircraft seem to be arriving on the scene when the market seems to be lagging. It will be interesting to see if the market will pick up as the year unfolds or if we are in for another disappointing year in new business aircraft shipments.

Q1 2016 Business Aircraft Market Update Are There New Trends or Just More of the Same?

In this month’s JETNET >>KNOW MORE analysis Mike Chase and Marj Rose assess Q1 2016 new and used Business Aviation market trends…

ach quarter, many of us analyze the Business Aviation market activity seeking new trends or, even better, some indication that we are on a path back to the golden years of eight years ago. Fuel prices remain low and corporate profits remain strong, but GDP growth has been disappointing and new business jet sales remain sluggish.

Pre-owned aircraft inventories declined last year, fueling our optimism that business jet sales for the second half of 2015 would increase - but it was not to be.

As we continue to take the pulse of the Business Aviation market, this month we’ll provide an update by quarter to see if we can spot a new trend, or whether we must settle for more of the same...

E

New Business Aviation Shipments Q1 2001-2016

“The entire industry is feeling the impact of retrenchment in the energy sector as well as geopolitical and economic security”, President and CEO Pete Bunce stated in GAMA’s recent Q1 2016 report. Table A (left) shows the shipments from 2001 to 2016 for business jets, turboprops and piston aircraft. Highlighted in yellow are Q1’s highest level of shipments for each segment.

Furthermore, Table A shows the 16-year average across all three General Aviation sectors.

It’s particularly interesting to note that the 2016 Q1 result is below the same period for 2015 in all sectors, but that it also matched the same shipment numbers for business jets as reported in 2012.

These two years are the lowest business jet shipment numbers in the post-recession period.

Note, however, that Dassault Falcon now only reports its shipment data twice a year (in Q2 and Q4), so the actual Q1 2016 number of jets shipped is likely to be slightly higher. For measure, Dassault reported six business jet 48

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

shipments in Q1 2015. New business jet deliveries decreased by six units (- 4.7%) compared to the 128 reported in Q1 2015.

Pre-owned Business Jets ‘For Sale’

Focusing now on the used jet market, Table B (right) shows the March-ending changes from 2005 to 2016 in the business jet in-operation fleet; number ‘For Sale’; percentage ‘For Sale’; and the Year-over-Year (Yr/Yr) balance point change (i.e. 11.7% less 11.3% equals +0.4 point increase).

March 2016 is the first March-ending period that the percentage ‘For Sale’ and Yr/Yr balance points have increased since March 2009 (highlighted in yellow).

In 2009, as the recession struck, there was an explosion of 1,095 more business jets listed ‘For Sale’ as compared to one year prior. What then followed was a six-year trend towards recovery as the market slowly shed inventory and moved closer to being a healthy “Seller’s market”... that is, until this year, when the percentage went positive again with 155 more business jets listed ‘For Sale’ than in March 2015.

While this increase is a far cry from the pronounced spike of 2009, March 2016 must be regarded as a disappointing step backwards for the business jet market.

In total, there were 23 (4.4%) more business jet transactions in Q1 2016 compared with Q1 2015.

The comparisons in Table C (right) illustrate where the changes occurred by aircraft weight group. Two of the weight classes (Heavy >35,000 lbs. and Medium 20,001-35,000 lbs.) showed more transactions, and the other two (Light 10,001-20,000 lbs. and VLJ <10,000 lbs. or less) showed fewer transactions in the comparative periods.

Summary

By the looks of the Q1 data reviewed, more aircraft are indicated as ‘For Sale’ while fewer new aircraft are being delivered. One could conclude that the industry is losing some of the positive ground made over the last few years.

Is this a new negative trend or just a brief fluctuation in the market? From an optimistic perspective, the total business jet transactions (new and pre-owned) did see a Q1 over Q1 increase, and the 11.7% ‘For Sale’ inventory is only 0.2% higher than in March 2008. In the volatile market of the last few years, that is relatively good news.

Business Aviation Market Insights HUNTER WEISS

Hunter Weiss, President & Partner, Welsch Aviation

To gain from their vast industry experiences, AvBuyer interviewed Hunter Weiss, President & Partner of Welsch Aviation, Inc. for his thoughts about the current state of Business Aviation...

A

ccording to a Chinese proverb, “If you would know the road ahead, ask someone who has traveled it”. In the profession of brokering business aircraft, few practitioners have traveled more miles than the associates at Welsch Aviation. Founded over 67 years ago by James C. Welsch, Sr., a sales professional for venerable companies such as Aeronca and Stinson from the late 1920s and for Cessna immediately following World War II. Welsch Aviation began its current brokerage business with a single office at LaGuardia Airport’s Marine Air Terminal in 1949.

Before there were business jets—fully a decade before the Gulfstream G-I turboprop entered the corporate scene—Jim Welsch was brokering converted military and airline aircraft, such as Douglas C-47s, Consolidated Convairs and Lockheed Constellations to corporate America. US Steel purchased its first company aircraft, a modified Lockheed Lodestar, utilizing the services of Welsch Aviation in the early 1950s.

As a candidate for the US Presidency in 1960, John F. Kennedy was provided access to a Convair 240 that Jim Welsch brokered to his father, Joseph P. Kennedy. Named after JFK’s daughter, the “Caroline” was the first aircraft to be used by a presidential candidate and continued to serve the Kennedy family until 1967.

As Welsch Aviation grew—its operation currently includes offices in Washington, DC, New York, Georgia and Texas— management transitioned to James Welsch, Jr. In 1987 K. Hunter Weiss joined the firm as an Associate, in 1996 became a Partner, and assumed the title of President in 2014.

Hunter, based out of the headquarters office in Washington, DC, is also a member of a venerable line of Business Aviation professionals. His father joined Welsch Aviation in the early 1980s following a number of years as a US Air Force fighter pilot and extensive experience with corporate aircraft manufacturers.

Continuing his family’s commitment to aviation, Hunter devoted his career to the concept that business aircraft are essential tools for business development. Supporting Welsch Aviation clients, he practices an in-depth and straightforward approach to professional representation.

Others at Welsch are passionate practitioners of aviation.

Robert Hart, Senior Director of Sales in Welsch Aviation’s Georgia office has enjoyed success in the sales arena for almost 40 years.

Moreover, Senior Director of Sales Edward Vesely manages Welsch Aviation’s Texas Office as his day job, yet finds time to fly the only operative Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver in airshows for the Commemorative Air Force. The least tenured of Welsch’s brokers has 23 years of service with the firm.

Brokerage Only

Since its inception, Welsch Aviation has engaged solely in brokering a client’s aircraft. The firm neither buys nor holds 50

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

inventory, focusing instead on securing exclusive contracts to be the client’s representative. No funds are exchanged until a transaction occurs; Welsch Aviation assumes the risk that its efforts on behalf of its client will result in a successful sale.

All aspects of the process are managed by Welsch’s team of experts. Among its four offices, Welsch handles between one and two dozen engagements simultaneously. The typical period for a sale to be consummated is about 180 days. Most of Welsch’s relationships are repeat business, and new clients typically are referred from its existing customer base. The firm is proud of its tradition for reliability, integrity and hands-on dealing with its clients.

Market Prospects?

Hunter Weiss is confident that Business Aviation will remain a vital aspect of a corporation’s transportation solution. “There is always going to be a need for business aircraft,” he told AvBuyer, recently. “The Scheduled Airlines do not serve many city pairs— in fact only one-fifth of the airports that entrepreneurs typically need to reach.

“After 67 years supporting the Business Aviation community, our firm has seen many cycles. The current cycle appears to be an overcorrection. We feel that the loss of residual value currently being experienced will shrink. The need for a business aircraft is real and growing. Just consider the difficulty of servicing and growing a corporation’s market without the advantages that business aircraft offer. There are many companies that would not have been successful without the use of Business Aviation.

“Admittedly,” continued Hunter, “the brokerage business has become more complicated as we conduct searches and evaluations of every type of aircraft throughout the globe to find the exact make, model, avionics suite and accouterments for our clients. We deal with many experts, from accountants to tax specialists to aviation lawyers with experience in domestic and international transactions. Pre-purchase inspections that once required a day or two now consume several weeks. Business Aviation has matured, and our capabilities have grown to meet the challenges.

“In particular, Welsch faces the challenge of differentiating our firm from the dealer community. Being a broker is not the same as being a firm that sells either its own inventory and/or a client’s aircraft,” observed Hunter. “Being a pure broker is in fact the antithesis of the dealer-broker. We feel there is a conflict of interest when a dealer represents inventoried and represented aircraft, even if the firm has the best of intentions.

“We take our tag line—‘A higher plane since 1949’—very seriously,” he concluded. T More information from www.welschaviation.com

With over a decade of experience operating in Asia-Pacific, Global Jet’s David Mezenen speaks to Rani Singh... o understand the business jet market in China, one needs to “look at the fundamentals and also think long-term”, notes David Mezenen, Business Development Director, Asia-Pacific for Global Jet. “Currently, China represents a mere 2% market share for the total number of business jets worldwide, yet it has 20% of the world’s human population. Thus the potential market for business jets is still very much underdeveloped, compared to the US and Europe.

“No doubt the fundamentals point to a slowdown in this so called ‘economic miracle’ but

unlike many developed economies around the world, China is forecast to grow. A sure sign that the Business Aviation market is beginning to mature a little is the evidence of a used aircraft market beginning to emerge within the country.”

It hasn’t always been this way, however. Initially, as the market was opening up around the start of the decade, the Chinese - just like any other emerging nation – tended towards the fastest, the biggest and the best of everything, and a private jet is indeed an impressive piece of kit!

“Gradually we have seen that buyers have become more prudent and are developing an

“These are the jets that enable the Chinese business traveller to fly in comfort, without a fuel stop.” understanding that flying privately is good for business, if managed properly,” Mezenen elaborates. “The demand is for long-range, widebody aircraft for the time being, but we expect that will change as infrastructure develops and operating restrictions are relaxed.

“With clients becoming more experienced users, we can see a slow increase in demand for smaller, more costs-effective options. That said, we do believe that top-of-the-range models with large cabins will remain very popular, due to the size of the country and the increasing call for business abroad. These are the jets that enable the Chinese Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

business traveller to fly in comfort, without a fuel stop.”

How is BizAv Used in China?

According to Mezenen, business utilization in China is very different from the European perception. “It is tremendously important to respect the values of the people; where China is coming from and where it is today,” he explains.

“The way business is conducted is different from any other country in the world. The country is vast with a sizable population - nothing can be compared, and the best way forward is to www.AVBUYER.com

understand and respect there is a certain way of doing business here.

“As a rapidly developing market, there is a sense of excitement and novelty in being able to travel freely without the limitations of a schedule or airport accessibility.” A newly-purchased aircraft will probably fly more often compared to a counterpart purchased and operated in the West, he adds.

Nevertheless, there is still some way to go in getting across that there are some operational limitations, and that flexibility can only come if you can work within those guidelines.

“Since expectations can be high it will take time for aircraft owners to completely understand the practical logistics such as crew duty limitations for safety, airport regulations, slots and parking restrictions,” he continues. “Globally clients don’t like to hear the words ‘no, we can’t do that’, and the same can be said of Chinese clients. But the difference is in understanding that ‘no’ is not because of the operator’s failure to perform, but mainly due to the ‘limitations’ of the infrastructure within the region.

“Permit and slot requirements are the biggest focus point for us. The challenge is to explain the issue to the clients who mostly have never heard of these issues before. So we take our role to educate ourselves and the client very seriously.”

Anti-Graft Campaign Effect

There’s been plenty of discussion about the crackdown on corruption in China, and it can easily be assumed that one of the first items to be felled would be corporate jets. Yet the Anti-Graft Campaign hasn’t impacted Global Jet according to Mezenen.

“As a licensed carrier the new legislation has had little impact on our day-to-day operations.

Today we can see that there are fewer ‘grey’ 58

market opportunities to charter, and this strengthens the business case for companies such as ourselves.

“One of the difficulties of operating in China is that it’s easy to ‘talk the talk’ but much more complicated to ‘walk the walk’,” Mezenen observes. “To succeed, you need a genuine local presence, which includes focusing on hiring the best local talent, understanding how the market works and most importantly how business is conducted and especially how decisions are made.

“Transparency is the way forward, and the market is evolving strongly. China is not the only country where governments have enforced laws to counter corruption, and we as a company welcome these moves since they build a solid foundation for the Business Aviation sector to grow as a net contributor to the local economy, creating new jobs and skills for local people.”

Thus Mezenen highlights that the time is deemed right for Global Jet to grow its footprint in the Chinese market. “Our operation is supported from strategically located offices in Beijing and Hong Kong.

“We’ve spent 10 years operating in the region and over the past four years we have gradually increased our presence. Together with our joint venture partner Jinggong Group, we have just taken delivery of our first Chinese registered aircraft, a Falcon 2000EX EASy (pictured above) as part of the Jinggong Global Jet fleet to fly our charter clients everywhere in the region.”

The Falcon 2000EX EASy is ideally suited for operating within Greater China and beyond with a range capability reducing the need for refueling stops and a proven record of reliability. T

“Yet the Anti-Graft Campaign hasn’t impacted Global Jet according to Mezenen.”

Time Value of Money

A Common Tool for Making Financial Decisions The Chief Pilot and CFO need to speak the same language when discussing aircraft transactions, suggests David Wyndham.

Here are a few practical steps to doing so… here are two reasons to replace a business aircraft. Either the aircraft is no longer capable of performing the critical missions assigned to it, or the economics of owning and operating the aircraft are no longer suitable. The Aviation Department Manager is very adept at identifying and discussing Reason One. With respect to Reason Two, aviators certainly are capable of identifying major cost issues. For example, they know or can determine the market value of the company’s aircraft compared with a new model. They know that the current aircraft has a higher fuel burn, higher maintenance costs and will need an engine overhaul within a certain number of hours from the present. And they certainly have opinions regarding alternative aircraft that are new, have warranties, free training for two pilots and a mechanic, and greatly reduced operating costs compared with an aging model.

education is in how the corporation uses accounting concepts in making the aircraft acquisition decision.

The company CFO and his staff would be making the calculations, but it would be helpful if the Aviation Manager had sufficient familiarity with the concepts used by the CFO to understand the issue and communicate knowledgeably with the company’s financial team.

Working together, the Aviation Manager and CFO’s financial team will make certain that corporate funds are spent wisely with respect to the business aircraft.

Tools of the Trade

There are two financial concepts the Aviation Department Manager needs to understand: Life Cycle Costing and Time Value of Money. Life Cycle Costing takes into account all the costs associated with owning and operating the aircraft during the period in which the company owns the equipment.

“Life Cycle Costing looks at total costs over time, but which aircraft has a better financial value?”

The acquisition cost for a turbine aircraft tends to be significant, but over time the operating costs can exceed the acquisition cost. Lastly, the Life Cycle Cost model also recognizes the market value of the aircraft as it ages.

Comparing the Life Cycle Costs of two different aircraft, maybe one costs less to acquire but costs a lot more to operate. Conversely, maybe one aircraft has a high acquisition cost but low operating expenses. Life Cycle Costing looks at total costs over time, but which aircraft has a better financial value?

The answer depends upon when costs are incurred as the aircraft ages.

To answer the “when costs are incurred” question, the CFO uses an additional tool, known as Net Present Value (NPV) analysis, that compares the amount and timing of cash flows to arrive at the value of each option. Net Present Value takes into account the initial investment as well as the size and timing of all expenses and revenues during the period of operation. Included in those costs is interest the company pays if money is borrowed to cover aircraft expenses.

If the company uses its internal funds to cover aircraft cost, the CFO considers the income that might have been earned if company money had been invested in other activities. Typically, spending company funds is considered an “opportunity cost” (i.e., the earning that might have been generated if the company’s money were spent for another use).

Companies typically have an “internal rate of return”, which is the percentage the firm expects to earn when investing its internal funds for equipment or expenses. NPV analysis looks at the amount and timing of all costs from the viewpoint of the present time, calculating what amount of present money would be equivalent to the funds spent as the aircraft ages.

NPV Explained

With little training, the Aviation Department Manager can use the NPV concept to compare different aircraft options. In explaining the NPV concept to non-financial individuals, I use a pretty simple example.

Let's say you owe me $1,000. If you paid me today, you need to hand over $1,000. But, if you can wait a year to pay me and can invest the money to pay the debt at (for example) 6%, you can take $926 today and have the money grow to $1,000 in one year. Then you can clear your debt for $73 less than you owed. Even better, if you can wait two years to pay me, then you need only $857 today invested at 6% interest. So the value of $1,000 two years from now at a 6% return on investment is $857.

(Accountants say the NPV of a $1,000 expense paid two years in the future when money can earn 6% interest is $857!)

You don’t need an accounting degree to know it makes good sense to have income sooner and pay bills later. If you do this analysis on an investment with expenses and revenues occurring at various times along the period when the aircraft is operated, and sum everything, you end up with a Net Present Value analysis.

Companies do NPV calculations all the time, and the analysis helps decide between two or more possible options. The NPV concept enables our clients to evaluate the complex costs of owning and operating high value assets like aircraft, and provides a tool for making financial judgments in a language everyone understands.

Residual Value’s Impact on NPV Calculations Since about 2008, market depreciation of used business aircraft have been in the range of 6-10% per year on average. This percentage change in residual value creates a significant difference when comparing new versus used aircraft.

For example, a popular business jet that currently sells for $27m is available as a 10-year old model for about $9m.

The 10-year old aircraft has maintenance costs about $500 per hour higher than the new model. But,

62

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

the $18m price difference buys a lot of maintenance! What is not shown is the time the older aircraft spends in the shop to have the added maintenance accomplished, and the opportunities that are lost by being unable to fly. Correspondingly, what are the costs of chartering lift when the company aircraft is not available?

Companies have business aircraft to capitalize on marketing opportunities and to manage their activities in a timely fashion—in other words to have a high degree of

www.AVBUYER.com

certainty when fulfilling travel needs.

Unscheduled maintenance is a wildcard in that scenario.

While a NPV analysis can’t fix the uncertainty of aircraft availability, it can provide a common language for communications between CFO and Aviation Department Manager.

If a company operates a lot of hours, new or nearly new models may seem very attractive. But high value decisions such as acquiring business aircraft require careful analysis.

Don’t Get Caught Napping

The BizJet Insurance Policy Time Bomb...

When insuring your business aircraft, being too casual can result in painful surprises, cautions Stuart Hope. Following are some examples… any uninformed aircraft owners view their aircraft insurance no differently than their auto, homeowners’ or commercial business policies. They consider coverage a necessary evil of doing business and put little energy into working with their aviation insurance broker to fine-tune the details.

That’s a huge mistake—one that hopefully will not come back to bite them. Unfortunately, the only available test to discover if your policy was constructed properly is to actually have a loss.

That’s when the counter on the time bomb may hit zero and the aftermath can be disastrous to you or your company.

A Case in Point

Consider the accident of a Falcon 900 in 2007. The aircraft had two pilots and 13 passengers on board.

On departure the crew had to perform a high speed aborted take-off due to an erroneous gross weight calculation and improper trim setting. The aircraft exited the end of the runway and impacted a berm, collapsing the nose gear and eventually stopping about 100 yards beyond the runway end.

Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but aircraft damage was approximately $9m. Had this been at a congested urban airport with no runway overrun, this accident could have turned out much differently.

carrier, and then the time-bomb exploded! The insurance coverage was denied because the copilot had not attended the required initial or recurrent training for the aircraft.

To make our example even more compelling, imagine the worst-case scenario. What if the aircraft were destroyed and all passengers perished? A $9m uninsured loss would sink many companies, but envision this same company now facing lawsuits for all the fatalities – with no insurance coverage. Had the aviation insurance broker negotiated the policy wording to the insured’s favor it is possible that the claim could not have been denied.

Details are paramount in insurance. Coverage being granted or denied has literally come down to the difference in a single word between one insurance company’s contract vs another’s.

liability limits, if the hull insured value is appropriate, and whether your pilots are approved and have the required training. Review the contracts related to your aviation operation. Be sure to examine the construction of the named insured clause. These elements are just a few of the many critical areas that need to be considered.

Because Business Aviation has such a stellar safety record, even if you have a policy that is a time-bomb, the odds are in your favor it will not go off – unless you are one of the unlucky ones that has your number called with an unexpected aircraft accident. In that case, steps taken now may salvage your financial future. You can take action, or be complacent at your own peril. T Are you looking for more Business Aviation Insurance articles?

Policy Forms Non-Standard

A little-understood fact about aviation insurance policies is that they are all written on non-standard policy forms. To the layman, this means every insurance company writing aviation coverage has a different policy form. Some contracts are much broader than others.

For the coverage to be written properly, the aviation insurance broker has to have detailed knowledge of the insured’s operations and be intimately familiar with each aviation insurance company’s details, such as policy wording and coverage offerings, in order to craft a policy as bullet-proof as possible. There are many changes the insurer will make to broaden coverage under their contract, but you have to know to ask for them.

I have audited numerous aviation insurance policies over the years, and it simply astounds me how many are poorly or improperly constructed.

Too many are truly time-bombs that may never be discovered—except when they are needed to protect the insured. So what steps can aircraft owners take to tilt the odds in their favor?

First, since all aviation insurance brokers are paid exactly the same commission, you should hire the best. The cost is the same. Your mission should be to seek the most experienced aviation insurance broker you can find to represent you or your company in the insurance marketplace.

Second, if your current broker isn’t asking a lot of questions each year at renewal, you probably want to consider moving to one that does. Many clients seem to get irritated with the brokers in my firm because they think we ask too many questions—until we remind them that’s what they are paying us to do. If we don’t probe to find the uninsured exposures our client might have, what are we getting paid to do?

When it’s renewal time, don’t give short shrift to the process. Take the time to think deeply about your exposures, whether you have adequate 66

This situation is causing a ripple around the industry (especially within the GA community) where letters have been received and the FAA has been asked to revisit the way this monitoring program is meant to work.

To their credit, the FAA has implemented ‘enforcement’ as an opportunity to train and advise operators, and not punish. This is hardly surprising as the mandate is still over three years away.

The ADS-B Out train arrives in the station January 1, 2020. Of course the FAA did not foresee this unwanted ‘delay driver’ and is now figuring out an appropriate response.

What is FAA’s Compliance Monitor?

Using existing radar as an ADS-B comparison tool, the Compliance Monitor (CM) identifies those ADSB Out equipped aircraft performing below requirements. FAR 91.225 and 227 guide these requirements by checking for various message elements and the integrity and accuracy of aircraft positioning.

Some of the more common ADS-B Out performance problems include: • • • • • • •

Missing Barometric Pressure Altitude; Air/Ground Determination Issues; Flight ID Issues (including Missing Flight ID three-letter identifier); Duplicate & Wrong ICAOs; Invalid Mode 3/A Code (Mitigation in place); Incorrect Emitter Category; Aircraft with Position Errors.

As of April 2016, for GA aircraft - including business jets - there were 9,860 systems installed and operating to the ADS-B out requirements, but there were also an additional 1,905 installed systems that were apparently not operating to the requirements. (We suggest you see these counts more as a relationship, as the actual numbers only include those aircraft that have been monitored, using an updated monitoring recently deployed, and in some cases include failures that occurred during compliance test flights.)

The updated version of the CM can now identify types of aircraft, identify the equipment vendors and even reveal the installers, allowing the FAA to back-off on pressuring the operators when problems originate with the equipment design or install configuration.

Sadly, even when including known systems, the install rate for all 160,000 GA aircraft (18,700 of which are business jets) to be equipped by the close of 2019 falls far short of targets. Instead of around 55,000 aircraft expected to be completed by now in order to be on target, the actual count of installed systems is no greater than 20,000. For air carriers the picture of completion is far worse, but the submitted airline plans for completion, within the compliance time frame, are more encouraging to FAA. There are large numbers of Experimental and Light Sport Aircraft yet to equip; and worse, more of the aircraft completed do not meet operating requirements than do meet them!

Aircraft Index see Page 153

Avionics June16.qxp_Finance 24/05/2016 16:07 Page 3

To summarize ADS-B Out, the key focus is not just to be equipped, but to ensure you are operating correctly before 2020. The compliance includes proper functionality. The FAA has an excellent tool for checking the operating status of your ADS-B Out - visit www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/installation/ and select ‘e-mail us’ under ‘ADS-B Out Equipped’.

This, we believe, will soon be a direct interactive tool for the user. In fact the FAA’s ADS-B website is populated with a vast array of useful data, mapped out in Table B (middle, left).

ADS-B Installations

Since late 2015 there have been some interesting business jet ADS-B Out solutions. Fortunately, they include what are known as AML STCs. An AML STC is a version of Supplemental Type Certificate that approves the installation of a specific product into a range of aircraft types. Normally STCs apply to one model of aircraft, or a group, based on the original Type Certificate (TC).

The Approved Model List (AML) provides a mechanism for the applicant to add different types of aircraft, made by different manufacturers, to the same FAA approved STC. In the case of ADS-B Out installations, they are usually an upgrade of some type, involving similar equipage options, wiring and structural rework. The aircraft listed in the AML will also be similar in the way their ADS-B systems operate for pilots.

When seeking ADS-B solutions for your aircraft, look for versions of FANS as the DataCom solution.

Some of the business jet solutions for ADS-B include FANS for North Atlantic Tracks and viceversa. Those combined solutions may also be part of cockpit display upgrades or factory block upgrades, where downtime and costs may be reduced.

What of FANS?

There are 4 regions of interest regarding FANS, including US DataCom; North Atlantic Tracks; Europe CPDLC; and FANS beyond the North Atlantic. Depending upon who you talk to, or what you read, the information regarding FANS varies from ‘you need it’ to ‘you don’t need it yet’. The reality is that it depends!

All the terms alone are enough to confuse even the subject matter expert, while delays and changes of direction create lethargy within the aviation community. FANS has never been mandated carte blanche, such as with ADS-B Out. FANS is required in some of the places where you need to fly and will be required more so, as the months pass us by.

As a summary, Table D (right) covers technologies that embrace the FANS areas of interest, including where and when you will need them.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Because of the fractured nature of FANS implementation, no one is checking on which or how many aircraft are equipped. Mostly the larger business jets with oceanic reach already have FANS when delivered or are offered a factory service bulletin and in some cases, may select an aftermarket upgrade. www.AVBUYER.com

“Expect to see a number of changes to ground operations in the coming years, especially at major hubs or airports where traffic volume is greatest.”

Table E (above) includes a few recent FANS announcements. Bear in mind, many new aircraft have FANS or phased factory programs to equip.

The voluntary take-up by pre-owned operators is, however, a different story. Equipage decisions may be taken as part of aircraft transactions or because the regions where operations are conducted include routes that require the use of FANS.

Other NextGen Implementations

While saving the coverage of Performance Based Navigation’s exciting progress for Part 2 of this article, here we will cover two not-so-noticeable aspects of NextGen and their status.

Multiple Runway Operations: The NextGen implementation goals of surface and Multiple Runway Operations (MRO) are normally the concern 74

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

of air carriers and not of much interest to the GA community. However, especially with MROs, there are impacts that may be felt, over time, by the lighter aircraft that trail the big boys.

Runways at major hubs and airports are used for departures, arrivals or both at the same time. There are peak periods and slow periods. There are parallel runway operations with lateral separation limitations, and there are in-trail separations. Each airport is different and in the wider context, each group of airports (Metroplex) is different. In the US and elsewhere, we have been slowly implementing changes to the way we separate aircraft on approaches and departures in order to increase runway capacity, especially during peak periods and where parallel operations may be conducted independently at the same time.

Now that there are a number of these new procedures in place, the FAA and industry are monitoring their performance. Results are early and much work is still to be done. Business jets and other ‘not so big’ aircraft are impacted by these changes, and not always negatively.

What is most important for the business jet operating into large and busy airports, is to avoid, where possible, peak times and to equip with technology that allows approaches and landings, where those not equipped are forced to find other means.

Surface: In many ways the surface elements of NextGen involve a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ activity. Technologies such as Advanced Electronic Flight Strips (AEFS), System Wide Information Management (SWIM) and Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) are all tools to streamline the flow of information.

Control towers, TRACONs and ARTCCs all need to be on the same page. With an anticipated rapid growth in airspace users, including unmanned vehicles, quickly conveyed and reliable traffic flow information is crucial.

Aside from information flow, there is the management of the aircraft on the ground at each airport to consider. Expect to see a number of changes to ground operations in the coming years, especially at major hubs or airports where traffic volume is greatest.

Part 1 Summary

NextGen worldwide, under any banner, cannot be sustained without funding and a commitment from industry to equip - both of which present huge challenges. The pace of implementation needs to be measured against the usefulness of airspace changes to the users.

The special interests of the different user groups should be considered collaboratively at every step of the way. Having seen and participated first hand, I have to say industry and government shared participation to reach consensus has been outstanding. Ten minutes spent at Aircraft Index see Page 153

Avionics June16.qxp_Finance 24/05/2016 10:20 Page 5

https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/ (including Performance Snapshots), as well as ten minutes at EUROCONTROL’s SESAR eATM portal https://www.atmmasterplan.eu/, will be well worth your time, to see for yourself the progress made.

Finally, there is one concern that deserves mention, especially since it applies to most of the NextGen technologies. The reliance on satellites without adequate back-up is a dilemma realized by FAA and other government authorities around the world. Some regions attempt to solve the issue by developing their own satellite networks, but at the end of the day, vulnerabilities apply to all.

Satellite interference, signal blocking and tampering with signals at airports, is a safety and usability issue for everyone.

In Part 2 we will address this further, at least with respect to Performance Based Navigation (PBN). T

The Benefits and Risks of EFBs A One-Tablet Pilot Weight-Loss Program

What are the benefits and cautions of using an Electronic Flight Bag? Dave Higdon delves into the world of the cockpit tablet... magine the reaction to a promotion promising a 40-to-50-pound weight loss – from just one tablet, in one day that pays for itself…Absolutely too good to be true, right?

For the population of pilots who formerly hauled chart cases carrying about 40 pounds of necessary documents, however, it’s absolutely true! We refer to the tablet computer, built as, or adapted to the role of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB).

Of course, we must address the obligatory disclaimers. The side effects of using EFBs may:

kits. Operators benefit too, through the annual saving in chart fees and from fuel saved on weight no longer being hauled and the duty hours saved each month in update processes.

These are also the benefits of the generic EFB. We don't differentiate here between purpose-made EFBs or those created through the combination of commercial software loaded on an off-the-shelf computer (Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 hardware loaded with purpose-specific software to give the hardware EFB functionality). They're all Electronic Flight Bags differing primarily by how closely they work with aircraft systems.

Today their money- and time-saving traits are well known, appreciated and adopted by operators of everything from the heaviest iron down to the lightest of the sport aviation segment. As their Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

The simple EFB long-envisioned by gadgetcomfortable pilots came into existence years ago.

The earliest users adapted graphics software to offthe-shelf portable computers that could download public-venue graphics files (charts, plates and procedures). Formats varied and their legality was questioned. Some early adopters heard cautions from inspectors asserting that their EFB wasn't legal without also carrying the paper documents those EFBs replaced.

Eventually FAA recognized the advantages before weighing in with policies that legitimized and ultimately popularized the EFB. In 2003 the FAA published Advisory Circular (AC) 120-76A: Guidelines for the Certification, Airworthiness and Operational Approval of Electronic Flight Bag Computing Devices that constituted the first set of guidelines on EFBs established by any civil-aviation authority. The document also provided a basic definition of an EFB as “an electronic display system intended primarily for cockpit/flight deck or cabin use”.

That AC opened the door to carrying an EFB for charts and plates, manuals and handbooks – anything previously printed on paper and used in the cockpit. While documents remain foundational to EFB use, the EFB's practical applications have expanded. Similarly, the hardware used for EFBs has diversified, with everything from smartphones to notebook computers enlisted in EFB service.

The revolution in EFB software helped drive that diversification, and the FAA has worked to keep up. The current AC 120-76C went into effect May 9, 2014. www.AVBUYER.com

Bluetooth connection. Then, when time comes, they can use those wireless capabilities to update their EFB software – in minutes, not hours.

Entering into this area of deeper integration of the EFB beyond a mere document provider may add risk for the systems with which they communicate, however...

Protecting EFB Integrity

One other set of FAA standards apply (first established in AC-120-76A) to the software and can help operators safeguard against willful and unintended information contamination.

More than a Document Display

While some EFBs are aircraft-, avionics- or vendorspecific, the majority are commonly available hardware running off-the-shelf software. The software vendors are plentiful and many are wellknown, including Jeppesen (FliteDeck and FliteDeck Pro); Garmin (Pilot); ForeFlight (Mobile); FlyQ (EFB and Pocket); FltPlan (Go), and many others.

On the hardware side, Apple iPads, sundry Android tablets and Microsoft's Surface Pro all find widespread use in aircraft cockpits. The ‘pick-yourproduct’ approach makes EFBs themselves as ubiquitous as the chart cases preceding them. But the role of the EFB today goes far beyond simple pulp replacement and document display.

As hardware capabilities and avionics evolved in recent years, operators increasingly looked for ways to integrate new utility into those cockpit tablets using their new tools to leverage Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. Today EFB-equipped pilots flight plan anywhere they can use their EFB, tap weather and file with Flight Service or their dispatch office – wirelessly via the EFB's Wi-Fi. Once in the cockpit these pilots fire up the avionics and upload the flight plan directly into the aircraft's flight management system or stand-alone navigator – again, using a wireless Wi-Fi or 80

Type A software applications include “precomposed, fixed presentations of data currently presented in paper format,” per a Joint Airworthiness Authority Leaflet #36.

Applications include flight crew operations manuals, company standard operating procedures, aircraft performance data, maintenance manuals, airports and airport facilities data. Type A software should be approved for commercial operations, but neither requires airworthiness approval or FAA approval for Part 91 operations; Type B software applications include “dynamic, interactive applications that can manipulate data and presentation,” per that same leaflet.

Examples include performance calculations, weight-and-balance calculations, some interactive electronic aeronautical charts – absent displays of own-ship position – and electronic checklists. Type B software should be approved through the operational process but, again, does not require airworthiness approval; Type C, or “other” software applications airworthiness authorities on both sides of the Atlantic (and elsewhere) require full airworthiness approval for these applications.

They can include software involving the display of information directly used by the flight crew to control aircraft attitude, speed or altitude; and those that would substitute for, or duplicate a certified avionics system. In other words, software designed to interface directly with the cockpit avionics equipment.

Software developers, avionics makers and airplane OEMs continue to seek ways to better streamline the management of aircraft use and maintenance records, crew logs and dispatch communications. Increasingly engine monitoring and management systems can upload data to crew EFBs, for example, for subsequent transfer to the maintenance foreman's system and the engine OEM’s monitoring service.

Similar needs exist to update electronic aircraft operating manuals, pilot operation handbooks and pilot flight-log data. A growing level of activity comes from Class 1 and Class 2 EFBs used as flight Aircraft Index see Page 153

Proudly serving your Learjet, Challenger and Global since 1997 planning tools capable of wirelessly uploading the flight plan to an aircraft's navigation hardware.

Yet, each electronic connection presents an opportunity for an attempt to hack the company computers or the crew EFB. Thus security becomes a top priority…

Staying Safe and Secure

Steps designed to protect these systems from unauthorized connections need to work at both ends; both on the flight-crew EFB and the computer hosting the data being transferred, regardless of the direction of data flow. For pilots flying Class 1 and Class 2 EFB equipment using a hardwire connection in an office or home can obviate a breach using the wireless connections – whether Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Although not as common as a few years ago, socalled “Sneaker Net” software updates secure methods of updating software. Download data to a Secure Digital (SD) card via a hardwired home or office computer, then walk out to the aircraft and upload the new data into the cockpit avionics or EFB hardware.

For aircraft equipped with In-Flight Internet access, updates can happen anywhere – though bandwidth and security protocols may make it smarter and faster to update EFB software when on

the ground. After an update, boot up the device, check functionality, remove and erase the SD card and stow it for the next update.

Information Technology staff we consulted all advise users to regularly change the passwords or key codes needed to authorize the connection between an EFB and any other system in the aviation loop. That means updating passwords after every update – typically on a 28-day cycle, 13 times annually – or anytime operating and connections software are updated.

Daily scans of systems with anti-virus, antispyware, anti-hacking software is another must-do the IT experts advise. Configuring your EFB to connect only with systems previously approved can help preclude problems (such as the Captain using his EFB to read email from the unsecured connection of a coffee shop or FBO pilot lounge).

“When you don't need it, turn off the Wi-Fi, shut down the Bluetooth on your EFB and close the door on some of the problem potential,” a mobilesystems IT programmer told us. “It's a little like making sure you lock your home before leaving for the airport. That killer home-security system is rather less helpful if you leave the door open and don't set the alarm.”

That kind of security breach would be a particularly bitter tablet to swallow! T

Europe: A Most-Frequent Flight Destination Flying internationally poses many attractions, benefits and, of course challenges, notes Dave Higdon. The first challenge is to remove expectation that flying outside the US will be just like flying within the States. Here’s why… ow the airplane flies – its performance, its handling traits, fuel efficiency and cabin comfort – remain the same wherever you’re flying. How you file, when, permissions and permits, duty payments and fees all differ, however. As we noted last month, flying within the US is incredibly flexible, easy and free, with little more than fuel costs and ramp fees to pay.

Flying to and within Canada, Mexico and most of the Caribbean islands most closely parallels flying within the US, but significant differences emerge

H 82

when you’re planning to visit America's mostclosely allied region of the world – Europe. This month we examine some of the differences and similarities operators should expect when flying to Europe.

An Easy Trip, Relatively

Aircraft with range restrictions – piston and turbine, alike – cross the Atlantic in stages, some spread across several days. They fly routes that reduce over-water exposure to as little as 450 miles. For turbine-aircraft operators with longer range aircraft

(1,000 to 2,000 miles) similar routes reduce the trip to fewer longer legs while staying within their reserves.

While they face air-traffic considerations not experienced by pilots flying in the lower altitudes, the north-Atlantic routing offers the most options for diversions or returns that weather often forces.

Beyond the specific rules for crossing the North Atlantic in the flight levels using the North Atlantic Track System, the nations on the east side of the Atlantic also enforce differences in equipment requirements, communications capabilities, and, of course, their own customs and ATC procedures.

None of these differences are insurmountable for the well-prepared operator, however.

Equipment Matters

Europe's aviation authorities took a step almost two years ago that the FAA insists will not happen in the Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

US; EASA postponed the deadline for aircraft to employ ADS-B Out. In August 2014 EASA recognized that ADS-B installations would not reach the level expected when originally setting January 8, 2015 as the compliance date for new aircraft and December 7, 2017 for existing aircraft.

The new deadline required equipage for newly delivered aircraft by June 8, 2016 while existing aircraft have until June 7, 2020 (more or less in line with the US deadline). Further, Europe recognizes only Mode S 1090 Extended Squitter as the carrier for broadcasting ADS-B data. There is no ADS-B Out service in the 978 MHz frequency range – and no ADS-B In, period.

Other equipment concerns include Pilot-Controller DataLink (PCDL) communications at IFR altitudes – and EU PCDL works differently from that used in the US. A check of equipment to assure compatibility should be part of the pre-trip preparation. www.AVBUYER.com

“Operators need to know and understand the differences or face the expensive consequences of owing VAT and duty fees.”

Different Strokes for Different Ops

While the EU and its surrounding neighbors welcome foreign – non-domestically registered – aircraft, the community's rules take different approaches to private, Part 91 operations and Part 135 commercial charter flights. Operators need to know and understand the differences or face the expensive consequences of owing VAT and duty fees. It sounds complicated and it does mean some extra attention to paperwork.

With VAT fees ranging from 15-27% and duty fees varying between 2.7-7.7%, failing to prepare for arrival in the EU could become an expensive error. But in practice it breaks down rather simply between either of two options: Full importation or temporary importation. Either can be accomplished free, with no payment of either VAT or duty fees.

Full Importation: According to the EU's rules Full Importation procedures are available for aircraft operated as corporate aircraft by (or for) a company; for aircraft operated under a management agreement; and for companies with a charter certificate. There is a fee involved but not VAT or duty on subsequent flights.

The Full Importation must be done in Denmark.

But once done the aircraft can be operated freely within Europe with no restrictions on crew or passengers carried. Full Importation resolves cabotage issues, and eliminates risk and uncertainties concerning violation of customs regulations in all EU states.

Temporary Importation: Per EU rules, Temporary Importation (TI) subjects every flight to complex regulations each time an aircraft enters an EU member state's airspace. Flight privileges and restrictions vary according to whether the flight is considered private or commercial – and whether

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

the flight carries any EU-resident passengers or crew.

Individual EU states enforce their own rules on who may be carried within their borders under TI rules – in contrast with aircraft with Full Importation paper, which are not subject to Temporary Importation restrictions. Problems arise under TI because each EU member state formulates its own guidelines for importation issues based on EU Customs Code. That means a TI aircraft may experience zero hassles in one EU state and be questioned about the purpose of the flight in another.

Complicating things further are rules that let the EU treat corporate aircraft as “commercial” flights.

And with each EU state able to draft its own rules defining use, there's no consistent path available for operating within Europe on a Temporary Importation.

Flying intra-Europe under TI paperwork can still require VAT and duty payments; and depending on who's on board the rules against cabotage can come into play.

Some states consider ‘corporate’ use as ‘commercial’ use – but not all. Meanwhile, private use means just that: Private aircraft flown for pleasure or travel of its owners.

Crew Considerations

Temporary Importation status impacts crew considerations as well as aircraft. For example, private flight within Europe is allowed if passengers and crew are from the EU – but only if directly employed by the operator; this option is not available, however, under commercial use definitions.

With only non-EU passengers and crew, the Aircraft Index see Page 153

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T OPERATING

aircraft operated as a private flight under TI face no restrictions on internal EU flights. Under commercial use rules, flights with EU or non-EU passengers and crew must begin or end outside the EU. And a nonEU-registered aircraft under TI can be kept in Europe only for six months at a stretch, with a cap at 24 months for repeat visitors. Meanwhile, both private and commercial flights face no restrictions on crew and passengers when the flight starts or ends outside the EU. Crew members should carry not only their passports and any visas involved, they should also be prepared to show their licenses, certifications and any other certificates affirming their qualifications. Such certification paperwork helps the crew avoid customs officers from counting them as passengers.

EU User Fees Add Up Fast & Large

Flight planning a trip across the North Atlantic to Europe necessarily involves air-traffic and airspace authorities in multiple nations. For as seamless a trip as possible, filing necessary paperwork – particularly the International Flight Plan – must be done at least 24 hours in advance. That time spread may be longer, however, depending on the destination nation, and will be a repeat process for operations unable to cross the North Atlantic non-stop.

Depending on nations involved, flight permits or over-flight permits may be in order and it's up to the aircraft commander to be sure those items are resolved before take-off.

For flying between FL285 and 420, inclusive, taking the North Atlantic route puts the aircraft squarely in the busiest oceanic airspace on the planet with more than 450,000 flights annually.

Of course, all the usual provisos apply to making and securing trip arrangements. One of those not to be forgotten is to file, at least an hour in advance, with eAPIS – the electronic Advanced Passenger Information System operated by the US Customs and Border Protection Service.

Guidelines and filing information requirements are available via CBP's web site, https://www.cbp.gov/travel/travel-industrypersonnel/apis/eapis-transmission-system.

This is one filing you'll make at both ends of the trip – like your international flight plan. One before departure, the second before returning to the US. Finally, unless the trip is a personal adventure with time and money to spare, consider contracting with one of the many excellent trip-planning services available to you, to ensure you're prepared with the proper paperwork, filings, fees, permits and authorizations.

After all, as we hope you’ll have seen from the above article, flying to and within Europe can be a complex business! T

Flying in US airspace isn't free, in spite of what some people believe. Aircraft operators all pay into the Airport & Airways Trust Fund via fuel excise taxes that are both reasonable and efficient, as well as almost invisible.

The European Community and its member states don't employ the same, simple and arguably equitable system. Instead, they levy user fees for virtually every step in the process of using their airspace. There are a variety of air navigation charges: Route fees, terminal navigation fees, even communication charges. Charges are directly cost-related, and they are calculated in a manner that at times seems quite opaque.

They are also subject to consultation with airspace users’ associations. The EUROCONTROL Central Route Charges Office (CRCO) bills and collects route charges on behalf of all EUROCONTROL’s Member States. The CRCO has a variety of resources that it uses to calculate, bill and collect route charges.

These include data on flights, aircraft and aircraft operators. The CRCO can also use these resources to bill and collect other air navigation charges, such as terminal and communication charges, on behalf of EUROCONTROL Member and non-Member States.

Further examples: All IFR flying made on Airways, as well as into, out of, and through terminal airspace, is charged to the aircraft owner/operator. On a peroccurrence basis. A fee is levied for every instrument approach flown – a major driver for wouldbe pilots who find training in the US less costly. Airports also charge landing fees – every airport – regardless of whether you are arriving IFR or VFR. Then there can be surcharges levied, based on aircraft weight and noise category of the aircraft.

Weather briefings in the US are free via a 1-800-number or on-line. Such is not the case in Europe. Anyone familiar with payper-play 1-900-phone businesses will be the least shocked, since all weather briefings by telephone in Europe are charged by the minute to the caller. The charge, once collected, gets split between the telephone company and the government supplying the weather briefing.

But don't let all these fees lull you into a sense that fuel should be cheaper because of the lack of a dedicated excise tax.

Instead, European FBOs must collect among the highest aviation fuel taxes in the world.

Veterans of the US, the EU and Canada rate Canadian user fees (which are costly compared with the dedicated fuel excise tax paid

by US operators) a bargain by comparison to the EU. And the overall situation in Europe also applies in the UK. Just so you won't be shocked, flights within Europe can cost the operator more in fees than in fuel—food for thought when the debate over the US air-traffic system resumes this summer. And remember, a touch-and-go costs as much as a full stop – with the added fee for the take-off on the go.

These fees are separate from fees levied for entering the country and customs handling. As one veteran international pilot told AvBuyer, “It’s not cheap, and it isn't convenient when that bill comes. Fuel is cheaper than the fees.”

than to remodel around existing structures.

To motivate your mature employees to change behavior, empathize the additional effort required. Since success breeds success, break down the change process into steps. Understand that small wins help make adapting to change easier to swallow. Set your people up to feel like contributors to the goal.

Focus, notice and reward any and all efforts that support your agenda. Eventually your people will not only incorporate the change, they will perform it naturally and habitually.

Be Part of the Solution

people don’t necessarily fear change; they fear the unknown. People dislike feeling a lack of control.

Recognize the Need for Change

“To this day, the company’s Part 91 operation remains an integral part of the corporate family.”

“So, what’s wrong with the way we’re doing our job now,” grumbled several members of the Aviation Department? First of all, complacency is a breeding ground for stagnation. Secondly, stagnation hinders development and performance. Furthermore, being defensive is a natural reaction when asked to examine the existing operation.

Old habits are hard to break. Much attention and hard work are required to alter a course of action or behavior that has become instinctive.

We naturally balk when forced from our comfort zone. “Why fix it if it ain’t broke?” is an oft repeated question. How does a leader get the team to recognize and accept change? Metrics can be addressed and best practices presented.

But you have to appeal to the heart as well as the mind.

Bob Dylan wrote, “He who is not busy being born is busy dying”. Sometimes the answer is just that “It’s time”. But more often the need for change is much more substantial, such as the company is moving in a new direction. Our customer base is changing. The old ways don’t support the new mission and direction. Whatever the mandate, someone else’s idea of improvement doesn’t take away the sting from the people who have to do the heavy pulling.

For older adults, learning new information or methods is a little more complicated. Their brains are not clean slates so retraining requires a two-step process. First, old methodologies and information deeply etched into memory need to be erased or altered and then overlaid with new patterns. It’s easier to build a house from scratch

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

When people feel pain, they are more likely to embrace suggestions for improvement. Help your people identify either their or the customers’ pain points. Then focus their attention and energy on identifying solutions.

Help build rapport. Realize their world view is limited by the confines of their cockpit or hangar, so expand their horizon from what they don’t have to a new vantage point from “the hill”.

Do what you can to share what you’ve learned in the Boardroom or talking with the company’s executives. Explain the ramifications of external factors such as poor exchange rates, the timevalue of money and its implications in investing in large capital equipment. Lay out why you have to do more with less. Twenty percent of your efforts to create change should be directed to what’s not working; 80 percent focused on developing creative, possible solutions.

Evaluate Options and Select the Best

Leaders know they don’t have all the answers.

Good leaders surround themselves with others whose expertise helps them determine best possible solutions.

Before you ask for your team’s opinions, be clear that they truly understand the constraints, such as no funding for additional training, a requirement to reduce headcount, or the need to reduce equipment costs. Let them know that although you value their opinions and advice, the workplace is not a democracy and many elements are not within their control. You as manager still have the responsibility to make a final decision. You will listen to their expertise and advice. Not being able to embrace all they suggest, however, doesn’t negate its value.

Because of the pro-active approach by the Director of Aviation and her team, the corporate consultant saw an efficient use of resources, high safety standards, and increased productivity by the executives. To this day, the company’s Part 91 operation remains an integral part of the corporate family. T Are you looking for more articles on Flight Department Management?

ollowing a splurge of orders from China, and the hunger of wealthy Russians and Middle Easterners for fast moving jets over recent years, the United States is back on top as the most viable global market for business aircraft sales.

The sharp fall in oil prices slowed new aircraft deliveries and caused used airplanes to flood into the market, which in turn forced residual values down. I suspect time and creativity will be needed to bring new traction to previously hot markets such as China.

airplanes. Creative thinking, value added and solid relationships will be ever more important in getting deals moving along an upward trajectory.

In particular, I believe in long-term relationships and a service-oriented approach that adds value, synergy and robustness to the aircraft ownership process.

Long-Term Relationships…

“He also will be a main contender in future aircraft ownership deals where I am involved!”

94

More than ever, the long-term relationships built over years of presence in the industry will differentiate who makes the sales. Other flight department managers and aircraft owners will, like me, pause over an aircraft purchase if the sales and technical team have little or no history with an OEM or within the industry.

When there are tough issues to be resolved – and there always are – the buyer needs assurance that someone with influence, staying power and deep rooted connections will get answers and actions for the purchaser. Having someone with many years of experience with a company or market adds the necessary comfort layer to the transaction and post-sale relationship.

Let me illustrate the role trust plays in this business. Not long ago, I was involved in the purchase of a large business jet that would operate primarily from one airport. We were looking at long-range jets from several OEMs and favoured one aircraft that had all the amenities that our principal wanted.

The lead salesperson was a veteran of the market with over 25 years at the same OEM. His team understood that their good name was worth much more than a single sale at any cost.

Nevertheless, this transaction would represent a major score for their territory if successful.

One afternoon, after fielding a torrent of calls and emails that typically come when you’re

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

approaching the final stage of an aircraft deal, my phone rang… It was the lead salesperson, and he’d called to tell me that he’d noticed the airport where we were intending to operate had a weight restriction that would seriously hinder the airplane’s range and operational envelope...

Together with his performance and flight operations team, he had researched possible solutions and concluded that this aircraft would not be best suited in the case of our operations; that another brand would be the better choice.

Essentially, the salesperson was prepared to cut from a $50m deal, prioritizing honesty and integrity as being more important. He gained my loyalty, appreciation and respect that will generate him years’ worth of referrals and the highest praise. He also will be a main contender in future aircraft ownership deals where I am involved!

A Moral Story…

I will never forget what I learned from an established real-estate agent many years ago.

When emerging markets are hot, anyone can sell. When making a major purchase decision, find those individuals who have been around through the down cycles and you’ll find proven commitment and endurance to produce value and quality.

Managing Flight Department Interfaces: Exploring the Need to Handle Third-Party Interfaces Well

Highlighting a 2015 airport misidentification incident by the crew of a

Citation CJ2, Mario Pierobon discusses the need for Flight Departments

to interface well with multiple service providers. How can you ensure you

are doing so effectively?

n March 27, 2015 the flight crew of a Cessna Citation CJ2 was positioning for a visual approach to Runway 28 at Blackpool Airport (EGNH) in the UK, but mistakenly lined up with Runway 25 at Warton Aerodrome (EGNO) 5.5nm to the south-east instead.

The aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,000 ft AMSL, levelled and flew overhead the runway at Warton, before being repositioned for a landing on Runway 28 at Blackpool.

According to the report of the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB), there were several opportunities to identify and correct the misunderstanding. The report also found that the copilot was in training and there existed a large gap in experience between the two crew members.

“The co-pilot identified there was a potential for misidentification of the two airfields in his approach briefing but, even so, the aircraft made an approach to the wrong airfield. At a late stage, the co-pilot recognized the error and initiated a go-around”, the report highlights, before concluding, “…the recorded radio transmissions from this incident demonstrate how a lack of standard radio telephony discipline can contribute to developing a misunderstanding”.

O

Multiple Interfaces

The above occurrence may seem innocuous in that (albeit late) the wrong position was recognized, a goaround initiated, and the aircraft landed safely at its destination airport – but it highlights some poor communication between the flight crew and ATC that in the wrong place at the wrong time could have been deadly. Thus, our case study offers valuable opportunity to consider the matter of interfacing with the multiple entities a flight crew must interact with to fulfil their mission safely.

A corporate flight department depends on multiple service providers for safe operations, including maintenance outsourced to a Part-145 organization; ground handling at an FBO; and the services of catering companies. Other core services may often be externalized, including fleet technical management to a third party Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) and flight planning to a coordination center.

There is always the need to coordinate with ATC and airports. Meanwhile, inspectors of Civil Aviation Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Authorities (CAA) will also visit the premises on a recurrent basis, while owners or brokers also have their own requirements. We’re sure the point is clear that safety performance of a Flight Department cannot be managed without taking account of how critical the interface with third parties is.

So how can you manage these interfaces to get the best out of them?

You need to have a very clear grasp on what these third parties require of you in order to coordinate well and perform your mission safely. Some requirements are rigidly codified and there is no possible ‘customization’, (i.e. with ATC or airports).

These requirements are embedded in international standards that air operators must follow. Flight crews must, therefore, be fluent in the standard phraseology.

Not all third-party requirements are rigidly codified, however. Questions might arise as to how often the service provider needs your input or feedback. Are you disclosing everything they need to deliver safely and on-time? In order for relationships with third-parties to be successful, it is important that the understanding between each party is cooperative and transparent.

The successful management of interfaces with third parties does not only require you to conform to the reasonable requirements of third parties, but for them to conform to your own Flight Department’s requirements. You must communicate these effectively to the service providers and formalize the agreements.

When selecting a service provider it’s also important to ascertain how proactive the provider is in managing its own safety. Most of the typical service providers to air operators (except for training organizations) are not currently required to have a formal safety management system (SMS) in place (yet it would be highly useful to you if they had to have at least started one).

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

Closing Thought

Managing interfaces with third parties is critical for an air operator. After all, if things were to go wrong then at best you would have exposed operational inefficiencies within your Flight Department. At worst, the catastrophic potential of poorly managed interfaces could result in an accident nobody wants to consider... T www.AVBUYER.com

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT RETAIL PRICE GUIDE

Medium Jets:

Just the Right Fit for Many Operators...

Of all the business jet categories, none does more to

balance capability with utility than the Medium Jet segment; and no segment provides more options, either.

or the purpose of our Retail Price Guide, Medium Jets are loosely defined as aircraft with a Maximum Take-Off Weight between 20,001-40,000 lbs.

There’s no disputing the advantages of space as you step into a Medium Jet cabin, particularly when applied to longer trips. That is ultimately where the Medium Jets’ basic advantage comes into play over the Light Jet segment.

Medium Jets tend to cruise towards the upperend of the private jet speed range (between Mach 0.78 and Mach 0.85). While on average faster than the Light Jet, a Medium Jet’s superior speed generally provides only a few minutes of gain on the typical Business Aviation trip of 350 to 500 miles, but the difference will become noticeable on longer legs exceeding 1,000 miles.

In terms of range, the average Medium Jet can reach most of the US non-stop from almost anywhere else within the US, making them excellent candidates for the operator with regular transcontinental travel needs. That range capability also gives the crew the flexibility to string together a sequence of stops that total the same distance – making it possible for a Medium Jet to cover multiple locations and still get home at the days’ end, without buying fuel along the way.

Runway requirements for Medium Jets are generally longer than the average length needed by a Light Jet – but nevertheless Medium Jets can still access a significant percentage of the secondary airports serving most of the 150 largest metropolitan areas in the US. Indeed, Medium Jets generally can match their Large Cabin kin in terms of speed and, to a point, their range, while providing reasonable office amenities that are competitive with most larger aircraft. With all of the above considered, it is little wonder that the Medium Jet segment is the biggest selling, deepest segment across the business aircraft market.

Aircraft Performance & Specifications Medium Jets

T

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 - Medium Jets – appears overleaf, to be followed by Entry-Level and Light 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.

If there are any other ways in which we can improve the content or presentation of this information, please let us know.

Tel: +44 (0) 20 8391 6770; Email: editorial@avbuyer.com. © 2011 Conklin & de Decker Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 1142, Orleans, Massachusetts, 02653, Tel. 508-255-5975, www.conklindd.com

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

102

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

•

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ver the following paragraphs, we’ll consider productivity parameters (payload/range, speed and cabin size) and cover current and future market values for Pilatus PC-12 NG. The field in this comparative study is DAHER’s TBM 900 turboprop.

Pilatus has been building single-engine aircraft in Stans, Switzerland for over 70 years. The Pilatus PC12/45 is a high-powered single-engine turboprop with a four-blade propeller. Certification was originally planned for mid-1991, but a redesign of the wings (increased wing span and the addition of winglets to ensure performance guarantees were met) resulted in a delay of nearly three years.

Swiss certification was finally achieved on March 30, 1994 and FAA approval followed on July 15 of the same year. The PC-12/45 was manufactured from 1995

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

to 2008, replaced by the PC-12/47 (manufactured from 2006 to 2008) and then the PC-12 NG (Next Generation) updated version that is being manufactured today. The PC-12 comes equipped with a passenger door and a cargo door and is available in several different configurations including six-passenger executive, nine-passenger standard, commuter, cargo and combi.

In total, there are 1,358 PC-12s flying at present.

Accounting for only the PC-12 NG models, there are 540 that are wholly-owned around the world; 25 in shared-ownership; 27 in fractional ownership programs (accounting for a total of 592 PC-12 NG aircraft). Thirty Six of the PC-12 NG aircraft in operation are leased, according to JETNET. By continent, North America has the largest fleet percentage at 67%, followed by Europe (15%), for a combined total of 82% of the world’s fleet.  Aircraft Index see Page 153

Daher-Socata TBM 900

The data contained in Table B (left) are published in the B&CA, May 2016 issue, but is also sourced from Conklin & de Decker. As we have mentioned in past articles, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The PC-12 NG ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 1,009 pounds is more than the TBM 900 at 584 pounds of payload capability.

In addition, Table B shows the fuel usage by each aircraft in this field of study. The PC-12 NG burns more fuel (70.2 versus 65.7 gallons per hour (GPH)) than the TBM 900, according to Aircraft Cost Calculator.

Cabin Cross-Sections

According to Conklin & de Decker, the PC-12 NG cabin volume is 356 cubic feet and its cabin length is 16.9 ft. The TBM 900 is considerably smaller in volume (143 cu. ft.), and shorter in length at 10 ft. Chart A (left) shows the side-by-side comparisons, revealing a higher and wider cabin in the PC-12 NG, too.

Range Comparison

As depicted by Chart B (top, right) and using Wichita, Kansas as the origin point, the PC-12 NG shows the same range coverage for the TBM 900, as sourced from Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC).

Note: For jets and turboprops, ‘Seats-Full Range’ represents the maximum IFR range of the aircraft at LongRange Cruise with all passenger seats occupied. ACC assumes NBAA IFR fuel reserve calculation for alternates at 200

The Pilatus PC-12 NG aircraft has a single-engine Pratt & Whitney Canada engine PT6A67P offering 1,200 shs. By comparison, the TBM 900 also operates a single Pratt & Whitney Canada engine, the PT6A-66D, offering less output at 700 shs for the TBM 900.

Cost Per Mile

Using data published in the May 2016 B&CA Planning and Purchasing Handbook and the August 2015 B&CA Operations Planning Guide we will compare our aircraft. The nationwide average Jet A fuel cost used from the August 2015 edition was $5.25 per gallon at press time, so for the sake of comparison we’ll chart the numbers as published.

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

Chart C (middle, right) details ‘Cost per Mile’ and compares the PC-12 NG to its competition, factoring direct costs and with each aircraft flying a 600nm mission with an 800 lbs (four passengers) payload. The PC-12 NG shows the highest cost per nautical mile at $2.10 compared to $1.67 for the TBM 900. This is a 20.5% lower cost per nautical mile in favor of the TBM 900.

The ‘Total Variable Cost’ illustrated in Chart D (right) is defined as the Cost of Fuel Expense, Maintenance Labor Expense, Scheduled Parts Expense and Miscellaneous Trip Expense. The Total Variable Cost for the PC-12 NG computes at $581 per hour, which is 13.0% more than the TBM 900 ($514 per hour).

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2016

www.AVBUYER.com

Aircraft that are owned and operated by businesses are often depreciable for income tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Under MACRS, taxpayers are allowed to accelerate the depreciation of assets by taking a greater percentage of the deductions during the first few years of the applicable recovery period (see Table D, 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 Aircraft Index see Page 153

AirCompAnalysis June.qxp_ACAn 24/05/2016 12:23 Page 5

MACRS over a period of fiveyears 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 E (bottom, left) depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for the PC-12 NG aircraft in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five- and seven-year periods, assuming a new retail value of $4.857m, per Vref Pricing guide.

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

Chart F - Productivity Price (Millions)

Chart E, sourced from the MultiDimensional Economic Evaluators Inc. (www.meevaluators.com), shows a Value and Demand chart for the PC-12 NG. The current pre-owned market for the PC-12 NG aircraft shows a total of 27 aircraft ‘For Sale’ with nine displaying an asking price, thus we have plotted those nine.

We also added the preowned TBM 850 and TBM 900 business turboprops in our study group. The equation that we derived from these asking prices and other criteria used should enable sellers and buyers to compare, and perhaps adjust their offerings, if necessary.

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

Demand and Value are on opposite sides of the same Price axis. The market for New and Used PC-12 NG, 12/45, 12/47 as well as the TBM 850 and TBM 900 business turboprops responds to at least four features: Months, AFTT, Quantity and Asking Price.

A final negotiated price, however, remains to be decided between the seller and buyer before a sale is completed.

Index (Speed x Range x Cabin Volume / 1,000,000,000)

requires further discussion in that the factors used can be somewhat arbitrary. Productivity can be defined (and it is here) as the multiple of three factors: 1. Range with full payload and available fuel; 2. The long range cruise speed flown to achieve that range; 3. The cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

Others may choose different parameters, but serious business aircraft buyers are usually impressed with Price, Range,

Speed and Cabin Size. After consideration of the Price, Range, Speed and Cabin Size, we can conclude that the PC-12 NG displays a high level of productivity.

Popular attributes of the PC12 NG are its larger cabin and superior ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ attributes.

Operators should weigh their mission requirements precisely when picking the option that is the best for them, since the TBM 900 costs less to purchase, operate hourly and offers a greater long-range cruise speed.

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, however. The Pilatus PC12 NG continues to be very popular today. Those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison useful. Our expectations are that the Pilatus PC-12 NG will continue to do well in the new and pre-owned markets for the foreseeable future. T June 2016 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

Synthetic Vision Upgrade for GIV-SP

OEM Bites

Airbus has added two new members to its ACJ Service Centre network.

HAECO Private Jet Solutions and ST Aerospace will help enhance the way Airbus cares for corporate jet customers and operators around the world.

The ACJ Service Centre network now comprises the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) in Toulouse, France; Comlux America in Indianapolis; HAECO Private Jet Solutions in Xiamen, China; Sepang Aircraft Engineering (SAE) in Malaysia; and ST Aerospace in Singapore. Others will be added over time. www.airbus.com

Increased Situational Awareness for

operators of older Gulfstream model. ulfstream has received approval from the FAA to offer a synthetic vision upgrade to GIVSP aircraft equipped with PlaneDeck. The avionics enhancement increases crew situational awareness through the integration of synthetic vision with charts and maps, video capability and XM groundbased weather on flight displays.

“Synthetic vision is one of the best safety features a business jet can have,” said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “By providing a 3-D color image of runways, terrain and obstacles, pilots get a clear view of the virtual flight path. The increased level of situational awareness, which is particularly useful in unfamiliar locations, bad weather and at night, reduces errors as well as a pilot’s workload.

“This upgrade will ensure the nearly 325

GIV-SPs in service worldwide remain a valuable asset for years to come.”

Synthetic vision is currently standard on G650/G650ER aircraft and an option on the G550, G450 and G280. More than 60% of Gulfstream’s fleet of nearly 1,100 large-cabin aircraft have the vision-enhancing technology.

Operators who plan to take advantage of this upgrade must have an aircraft equipped with Flight Management System 6.1, which provides several enhanced capabilities, including required navigation performance functionality, Future Air Navigation Systems 1/A+ provisions, and satellite-based augmentation system GPS/localizer performance with vertical guidance approach. www.gulfstream.com www.AVBUYER.com

Bombardier reaffirmed its commitment to the success of the Learjet product family by announcing the creation of a dedicated, worldwide sales team with the Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft as its singular focus. To that end, Mike Fahey is appointed Vice President, Learjet Aircraft Sales, assuming overall responsibility and accountability for the Learjet program worldwide.

Bombardier also announced that its pre-owned aircraft sales activities would be led going forward by Peter Bromby, newly appointed Regional Vice President of Pre-Owned aircraft. www.businessaircraft.bombardier.com

AW609 Flight Test Resumption Approaches

OEM Bites

Cessna recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the maiden flight of the Model 525 CitationJet prototype, the aircraft that would become the foundation of the light jet segment.

The maiden flight took place on April 29, 1991 with deliveries starting two years later. Innovation in the 525 line has been a constant since then, with eight platforms certified. www.txtav.com

A/C 3 Completes first ground run in Italy. eonardo-Finmeccanica announced recently that the third prototype (A/C3) of the AgustaWestland AW609 TiltRotor has completed its first ground run at the company’s facilities in Cascina Costa, Italy, marking a critical milestone as the program advances its testing and plans a resumption of flight testing activities.

These tests prepare the prototype for FAA certification flight testing this summer at the company’s Philadelphia facility.

The AW609 is capable of flying within an envelope that includes cruise conditions up to 275 knots, at an altitude of 25,000 feet in

L

a pressurized cabin, for missions with ranges up to 1,000nm with available fuel options.

This aircraft will mark a new era in civil aviation.

Testing plans for the A/C3 also include icing trials in the winter of 2016 to demonstrate its capabilities in known icing conditions. These high standard design features allow the AW609 to perform a host of missions not previously achievable with any other commercial aircraft. Certification of the AW609 TiltRotor is expected in 2018, with customer deliveries to follow. www.leonardocompany.com

Cirrus has flown the first production Vision SF50 jet. Spokesman Ben Kowalski told the Grand Forks Herald the aircraft flew on May 5 and performed as expected. “It demonstrated that we have implemented out a repeatable process on our production line and are prepared to begin initial production of the Vision Jet,” Kowalski said.

Production of the aircraft began more than a year ago and Kowalski said the company took its time to finish the plane as it refined processes. www.cirrusaircraft.com

Dassault’s Falcon 2000LXS recently became the first business jet to fly an Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) with a published LPV minima of 200 ft, using Europe’s EGNOS LPV200 service.

The flight, at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport, was performed as part of initial European LPV200 trials, which also involved Airbus 350 and ATR-700 commercial aircraft. www.dassaultfalcon.com Aircraft Index see Page 153

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 900LX pictured above is 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
