Editor’s Welcome ATC Privatization: In Washington, Bad Ideas Are Hard to Kill

W

hile politicians in Washington, DC and media almost everywhere seem consumed by machinations of the Trump Administration, the US Business Aviation community and possibly international operators that frequent US airspace are focused on the debate concerning privatization of the FAA’s air traffic control (ATC) system. Hearings were held May 17 before the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the US House of Representatives to explore the need to reform FAA and its ATC establishment to build a 21st century aviation system for America. Underlying the debate is Chairman Bill Shuster’s Aviation, Reform and Reauthorization Act, known in legislative parlance as H.R. 4441, which would establish an independent, not-for-profit corporation to provide domestic ATC. Governance of that corporation, if formed, would be dominated by the major US Airlines and interests aligned with commercial air carriers. Originally introduced last year by Representative Shuster, a Republican from the state of Pennsylvania, the US Senate failed to consider H.R. 4441 and the US House did not vote on the measure. Instead, Congress enacted a short-term authorization of the FAA until September 1, 2017. Thus the debate continues. At stake is a transportation infrastructure that currently supports many more aircraft movements than occur in any other country, has an outstanding safety record, and facilitates $1.5 trillion in economic activity while generating 11.8 million jobs. Air transportation contributes 5.4% of the US GDP and enables additional economic activity by companies and entrepreneurs who must travel by air to

conduct their business. The current ATC system in the US moves aircraft safely, efficiently and dependably. User fees are low but fair, and operators of all types of aircraft, from large airliners flown by Scheduled Airlines to Business and General Aviation aircraft used by owner/operators and corporations, have unfettered access and are handled with expertize. The US ATC system accommodates the large and diverse aviation community, and it does so very well indeed. Transportation is an enabling technology for economic development and improved quality of life for all citizens. People who never travel still benefit from the commerce that travel enables. In today’s fast-paced world, air travel is by far the dominant mode of transportation for distances beyond a few hundred miles. Thus great care must be exercised before changing an infrastructure, such as the US system of air traffic management and control, that works exceedingly well for all parties and is not shaped by the vested interests of a few key players. Air traffic control is a monopoly now and needs to remain a monopoly. Only government should run a monopoly, where elected officials in the Congress govern the system. We urge all users of the US aviation system, regardless of where their aircraft is registered, to follow the debate unfolding in Washington. Let your elected representatives or your US associates/customers know how ATC Privatization would impact your business. Placing ATC in the hands of the Scheduled Airlines would lead to access barriers that Business Aviation neither wants nor deserves. Jack Olcott Editorial Director, AvBuyer

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Business Aviation Market Summary BizAv Owner/Operator Sentiment Improves Somewhat for Q1 2017 In what has become a pattern, those of us who seek to understand and draw insights from the dynamic business aircraft marketplace are once again facing a spectrum of indicators that seemingly point in different directions. Rollie Vincent, Editor, Market Indicators, seeks to make sense of the latest trends… ome market indicators are positive, some discouragingly flat and some consistently negative. From a 30,000-foot perspective, this mix of indicators continues to look more like a choppy sea than a smooth and protected sailing area. Depending how you look at it, aircraft utilization - perhaps one of the most fundamental measures of Business Aviation’s value - is up approximately 4-5% Year-over-Year (YoY) through the first few months of 2017 in the key US and European markets. While this is certainly a positive development, we should expect flight activity to increase at least somewhat in sync with fleet growth, as new deliveries outpace the number of aircraft that are removed from service. Based on recent industry performance, the business jet fleet has been expanding at about 2% per year, so overall business jet utilization should presumably be expanding at a rate at least that high and hopefully even higher. As always we need to be cognizant of the dangers of looking

S

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

at something too myopically. There is an argument to be made that aircraft utilization growth should be higher than, say, the low single-digit percentages, especially if the prior year’s level of flight activity was muted – making for an easy comparable. A slow but steady increase in activity after a market correction will be inadequate to return to the prior peak. A simple arithmetic example will help to illustrate the point: If an indicator (for example, the number of take-offs and landings, the volume of airplane sales or new factory deliveries, or the average transaction price of a pre-owned business jet) drops 50% during a cyclical downturn, it will ultimately need to double (i.e. increase by 100%) simply to return to its prior level. This implies that rates of growth, especially in a classic Vshaped recovery, can appear to be relatively high and well above the single-digit percentage values that we are witnessing today. After a sharp downturn in US business jet flight activity in the post-crisis 2009 period, growth has certainly returned but at a slower pace than expected. In fact, overall US business jet

www.AVBUYER.com

Aircraft Index see Page 153


MarketIndicators June17.qxp_Layout 1 23/05/2017 16:02 Page 2

utilization levels as measured by take-offs and landings (cycles) are now only eclipsing those from 2003, despite the fact that the US fleet has expanded by more than 50% since that time to today. What does this tell us? We are in a classically oversupplied market.

How Does this Situation Change?

There are two sides to any recovery – more demand or less supply. More demand is certainly the preferred path for those who are currently gainfully employed in the industry, and could be reflected in more and new buyers coming into the market to take advantage of attractively priced business aircraft assets. As we have said in prior articles, the value-for-the-dollar calculation in a business aircraft has not been more attractive. Airplanes that offer exceptional performance, comfortable and productive ‘offices-in-the-sky’, and advanced technology features, have never been more attractively priced. This is especially so in the used business aircraft market, where some 5+year-old aircraft that still retain the factory-fresh look, feel and aroma can be purchased for just 50 cents on the dollar, or sometimes even less. So – have we seen a massive influx of new buyers, swooping in to take advantage of historically attractive prices? Not so much. From what we understand, the level of concept buying (people purchasing a business aircraft who did not previously own one) is actually down in the post-recession period. Depending upon how you look at things, this is either a marketing problem (i.e., we are not yet effectively communicating the appeal of the product or service) or an opportunity to convince the less-than-savvy to finally join the jet set. Recent residual value performance is clearly dampening enthusiasm for business aircraft ownership, especially amongst those who have counted themselves fortunate to miss this most recent cyclical downturn. An Uber-style business aircraft service - or something completely different but offering access to Business Aviation across a much broader spectrum of users – is another potential pathway to growth for the industry. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the acceleration of fractional ownership programs and the advent of the popular ‘Jet Cards’ and other lease-type products propelled business jet utilization growth, especially in the US. These programs continue to be popular with customers, although much of the recent aircraft order activity from this segment has been for replacement aircraft rather than all-new growth. For the time being, the search for the Holy Grail of lower-cost business aircraft flights will continue, not helped by an environment of higher than expected costs for Jet-A fuel and for aviation professionals as commercial airlines accelerate pilot and A&P hiring and increase their pay/benefits levels.

the customer. In the longer-term, the more strategic question is whether OEM actions essentially ‘train’ the customer to expect a discount the next time an airplane is needed. Getting off this slippery slope is a collective imperative the industry requires to return to health sooner than later, involving strategies such as lowering production rates, taking low-volume aircraft out of production, and eliminating aggressive promotional pricing.

Owner/Operator Market Sentiment

Results from the most recent JETNET iQ Survey of business aircraft owners and operators were still being assessed as this issue of AvBuyer was being produced. Based on more than 350 respondents (about 70% completed as we went to press), owner/operator sentiment is certainly rebounding after a sharp downturn in 2016 that was driven by discouragingly low scores in the Large Cabin Jet segment and from markets outside North America and Europe. When asked to describe where Business Aviation is in the current business cycle, 54% of respondents worldwide indicated that we are past the low point. Optimists outnumbered pessimists by a factor of almost 2.5-to-1 in data collected to date, continuing a significant uptick that has been underway since Q4 2016. Sentiment appears to be strongest amongst respondents based in Europe, and weakest in socalled emerging markets in the Rest of World (namely, Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and CIS). MI www.rollandvincent.com 

The Advantage of a Deal

On the supply side, OEMs have been prudently lowering their production rates to be in better alignment with the current levels of demand. Pricing discipline is “all the talk” right now, but the proof is always in the proverbial pudding, and the costs of losing a long-loyal customer to a discounting competitor can be too much for anyone to reasonably ignore. In the short-term, the advantage of a ‘deal’ certainly goes to Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

There were 63,587 Business Aviation departures in Europe in April 2017, representing a -1% YoY slowdown in activity according to WINGX’s latest monthly Business Aviation Monitor… Business jet activity was flat, Piston flights were up and Turboprops were down in Europe during April. YTD, 2017 Business Aviation activity is still up by 4%. Germany took the brunt of the declining activity this month, with Business Aviation flights down by -11%. (The biggest drop came in business jets departures, dropping -17%. Germany domestic and Germany-UK flights declined the most.) Flight activity from France continued to increase, however. UK activity was slightly down, and Italy maintained its YTD decline. In contrast, flight activity in Spain jumped more than 20%, while flights from Switzerland and Russia were slightly up. Whilst overall activity within Europe declined this month, there was strong growth in flight arrivals from Africa and Asia. Arrivals from the Middle East and CIS region were moderately up, but transatlantic arrivals slumped -12% YoY and are trending down this year. Contrasting trends were seen between Private and AOC flights, with Private flights declining -5%, maintaining a slowing trend over the last 12 months, whereas AOC flights were up 4% and have increased in each of the last six months. AOC activity was well up in several countries, including >10% in Italy, 15% in France, >20% in Spain and Greece, and almost 40% in Portugal. Conversely, Private flights declined in all top five markets and by approximately 10% in Germany, Italy and Belgium. continued MI www.wingx-advance.com  on page 20 Aircraft Index see Page 153

JETNET Q1 2017 Used Aircraft Sales Summary JETNET released its Q1 2017 pre-owned business jet, business turboprop, helicopter and commercial airliner market data, and generally, inventories are down across the board, except for business jets… Highlighted in the table (below) are key worldwide trends across all aircraft market segments, comparing March & Q1 2017 with March & Q1 2016. The Business Jet market is the only segment to show an increase (+6.7%) in sales transactions. Commercial turboprops and business turboprops showed the largest decreases in the ‘For Sale’ numbers (101 and 86 fewer turboprops, respectively) in Q1 2017 vs. Q1 2016. Turbine helicopters were the only segment to show an increase in ‘For Sale’ numbers, up 18 units from 1,461 in March 2016 to 1,479 in March 2017. Across all aircraft sectors, there were a total of 6,355 or -6.9% fewer aircraft ‘For Sale’ in the quarterly comparison. Accordingly, fleet ‘For Sale’ percentages for business jets and business turboprops showed the largest decreases

of all market sectors in the quarterly comparison: 11.2% (-0.5pt), and 7.8% (-0.7pt), respectively. As mentioned, business jet retail sale transactions showed a 6.7% increase, and are taking less time (-21 days) to sell than last year. However, business turboprops showed a decrease of 9% in sale transactions, and are also selling in less time (-5 days). Turbine and piston helicopters saw declines in sale transactions in the Q1 comparisons, at -3.1% and -20.2%. These aircraft took more days to sell, with turbine helicopters taking 56 days and piston helicopters 10 days more. Commercial airliners are reported by JETNET, and include the numbers ‘For Sale’ for both commercial jets (including airliners converted to VIP) and commercial turboprop aircraft. Interestingly, business jets (at 586) and commercial jets (at 454) accounted for 55% of the total full sale transactions (1,883). MI www.jetnet.com

AMSTAT:

Used Light & Mid-Size Jet Sales Rise

Used retail transactions in the Light and Mid-Size business jet segments experienced one of their best Q1 results in the past 10 years, according to Amstat… Mid-Size jet turnover was 2.6% of the fleet in Q1 2017, just shy of the rolling 10-year high of 2.7% (in Q1 2014). Light jet turnover, meanwhile, was 2.8%, narrowly trailing the 2.9% and 3% turnovers recorded in Q1 2013 and 2008, respectively. Business jet transactions increased slightly in Q1 2017, with 2.4% of the fleet turning over versus 2.3% a year ago, Amstat said. However, transaction activity in the Large Cabin jet segment declined by -0.1 points from a year ago, to 1.6% turnover. Business turboprop transactions, at 1.6% fleet turnover, had the worst Q1 performance for this segment since 2009. Business jet inventory finished the quarter with 11.2% of the active fleet ‘For Sale’, unchanged from a year ago. Mid-Size and Large Cabin jet inventory continued to contract—now at 11.2% and 10%, respectively—but light jet levels increased from 11.2% in January to 12% in March. The number of Turboprops ‘For Sale’ also crept up over the last quarter, from 8.2% to 8.5%. Average asking prices declined across the board from a year ago: Light Jets declined -1.4%; Mid-Size Jets declined -4.6%; Large Cabin Jets declined -1.8%; and Turboprops declined -3%. continued on page 22 MI www.amstat.aero  Aircraft Index see Page 153

Avionics Q1 2017 Sales Report The Aircraft Electronics Association released its Q1 2017 Avionics Market Report, which showed a large uptick in retrofit sales versus Q1 2016... In Q1 2017, total worldwide Business & General Aviation avionics sales amounted to >$566m. The figure represented a 0.01% increase in sales compared to Q1 2016. Although the sales amount was nearly identical to Q1 2016, it marked the first time since Q4 2015 that sales increased during the same period from the previous year, snapping a string of seven consecutive quarterly reports showing a decrease in sales from the previous year. “This quarter offers mixed reviews, as industry saw a substantial decrease in forward-fit sales (43% total) offset by a larger increase in retrofit sales (57%

total),” said AEA President Paula Derks. “We have seen an increase in the percentage of sales coming from the retrofit market for four straight years, but this quarter marks the biggest swing toward that industry segment. Although the final sales amount was nearly identical to Q1 2016, it indeed showed a slight increase for the first time in several reporting cycles, which ends a downward trend during the last couple of years.” According to the companies that separated their total sales figures between North America (US and Canada) and other international markets, 69.3% of Q1 2017 sales occurred in North America, and 30.7% in other international markets.

UBS Bizjet Index Down, but Optimism Still High

The latest business jet index from UBS Global Research dropped two points, to 51, but is nonetheless the third consecutive month it has been above the 50 mark, which denotes a strengthening market… By cabin size, the Light Jet index leads at 56, followed by Mid-Size Jets at 50 and Large Cabin Jets at 47. All three of those indexes eroded slightly from the previous month. According to UBS aerospace analysts David Strauss and Darryl Genovesi, the drop in the index is driven by lower willingness of dealers to increase inventory, less optimism about the 12-month outlook, higher used business jet inventory levels and weaker customer interest, partially offset by better pre-owned pricing. “While lower, our customer interest score (77) remains near its high since the financial crisis,” they said. Customer interest remains strongest in North America at 79, followed by Europe at 57 and Asia at 54. Of survey respondents, 59% now expect the outcome of the US Presidential election to ultimately be positive for the business jet market— down from 65% in February. Meanwhile, 11% don't see a positive impact and 30% are unsure. Regarding actual pre-owned transactions, half said they have seen an increase since the election, similar to UBS’s prior survey, versus 8% that have seen lower volumes, up from 5% in the previous survey.

In-Service Aircraft Values & Maintenance Condition An Asset Insight market analysis conducted on April 28, 2017 covering 92 fixed-wing models, and 1,942 aircraft listed for sale, revealed Ask Prices for tracked models fell -0.8% in April… The -0.8% decline for April follows March’s -1.7% decline, for a total decrease of -13.5% over the past twelve months (representing a new record low figure). Large and Small Jets were down -2.2% and -2.3%, respectively, with Large Jets posting a 12-month low figure. Medium Jets and Turboprops fared better, posting a 2.0% and 0.2% value gain, respectively. While overall Asset Quality decreased for the fifth consecutive month, the inventory fleet still maintained an ‘Excellent’ rating. The Quality Rating Trendline is now definitively negative, high quality assets having been absorbed and Maintenance Exposure on the rise. Quality Rating: The Asset Insight Quality Rating remained at a 12-month low figure, decreasing another 2.0 AI2 basis points, to 5.276, from March’s 5.296, on Asset Insight’s scale of -2.5 to 10. Maintenance Exposure: The tracked fleet’s average Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated/embedded maintenance expense) posted a 2.5% increase/deterioration to $1.46m from last month’s $1.424m.

Finding and Exploiting Industry Overlaps Understanding Relationships Between the Yachting & Aviation Industries What do you get when you cross hundreds of yachts with hundreds of aircraft? It may sound like a joke in need of a punchline, but JETNET is deadly serious about YachtSpot, launched in response to an observation that the yacht and aviation industries have been serving a few of the same clients (and potential clients) for the past three decades… orldwide, about one percent of turbine aircraft owners also own luxury yachts of 24 meters or longer in length. Nevertheless, in their illusive search for High-Net-Worth Individuals who might be prospects for either the boating or the aviation industry, marketers from those diverse communities participate side-by-side from time-to-time in the same trade shows and special events. Identifying the mega rich requires looking in unique places where there might be a connection, even if the universe of dual ownership is very small. Building on this reality there have been two noteworthy announcements connecting well-established yacht and aviation companies (Northrop & Johnson with Crystal Aircruises, and Camper & Nicholsons with Air Partner) in the past couple of months alone. “It’s a given that each industry has exacting demands that influence the identification of HNWIs, as well as the financing, insuring, management, understanding of asset amenities and completion of complex legal transactions,” Mike Foye, Director

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

of Marketing, JETNET, explains. “The question is which sources of information exist that professionals can use to understand not only their own world, but the opportunities within the other industry?” By way of providing the answer, and having set the stage over the past 30 years for research into the buying patterns, ownership tendencies and financial solutions of owners and operators relating to aircraft, JETNET has applied its experience to gather data on luxury yachts of 24m in length and larger. By researching and identifying the owners, operators, captains, managers, central agents, and others, JETNET YachtSpot is the only single database offering the key contacts in the worlds of luxury yacht and private aircraft ownership and management.

Individually-Owned Yacht/Aircraft Cross-Over

So how could an aviation dealer/broker or charter company (for example) that is interested in the sparse overlap between the markets find the combined data and make them work in practice? As recorded on YachtSpot, as of May 16, 2017, there were 538 Business Jets, 64 Turboprops, and 116 Helicopters owned by 346 individuals who also own yachts. By means of comparison, JETNET reports that there are over 33,482 owners of turbinepowered aircraft and nearly 17,800 owners of Helicopters. A breakdown of the 538 Business Jets owned by those individuals reveals 345 (64%) are Heavy Jets; 115 (22%) are Medium Jets; 72 (13%) are Light Jets; and 6 (1%) are Very Light Jets (Chart A, right).

TABLE A INDIVIDUALS OWNING/LEASING YACHTS & AIRCRAFT TOP TEN POPULAR AIRCRAFT BY MAKE & MODEL

SOURCE: JETNET YachSpot (As of May 16, 2017)

Table A (above, right) depicts the ‘Top Ten Aircraft Owned’ by both Make and Model by those 346 individuals who also own yachts. Using YachtSpot to drill further into the most popular aircraft represented in Table A, we can discover that 13 individuals own yachts and Gulfstream G550 jets. Of these individuals, 60% have a ‘Mega’ category yacht (45-121m length), versus 36% that own Super yachts (30-45m length), accounting for a combined 96% of the total yachts in JETNET’s analysis. Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Two yacht manufacturers (Westport and Feadship) account for 64% of the yacht makes of these same operators, highlighting where brokers and charter providers might focus their efforts for cross-industry business opportunities. (Note that there are three helicopter models featuring within the top ten aircraft owned (by model) by individuals also owning yachts, including the Agusta/Westland AW139, Robinson R22 and Bell 412EP.)

TABLE B COMPANIES OWNING/LEASING YACHTS & AIRCRAFT TOP TEN POPULAR AIRCRAFT BY MAKE & MODEL

SOURCE: JETNET YachSpot (As of May 16, 2017)

Interestingly, just over one-fifth of the AgustaWestland AW139 owners also own Giga Yachts (above 121m length), which presumably would be large enough to incorporate helipads. Of the remainder, more than half (57.1%) own or lease Mega Yachts. (Approximately 43% of the yachts comprise models manufactured by Oceanco, Lurssen and Abeking & Rasmussen.)

Company-Owned Yacht/Aircraft Cross-Over

The picture is very different when it comes to analyzing companies (as opposed to individuals) owning and leasing both yachts and aircraft. As of May 16, 2017, divided between 257 companies owning yachts and aircraft are 1,345 jets, 56 turboprops, and 199 helicopters. Of the jets owned or leased by yacht and aircraftowning companies, 967 (or 72%) are Heavy Jets; 323 (24%) are Medium Jets; and 53 (4%) are Light Jets (Chart B, above). Offering more insight into the significant preference for Heavy Jets among yacht-owning companies, Table B shows that the Top Three aircraft (by make) all come from OEMs that traditionally build commercial jets. The ‘Top Ten’ aircraft owned (by model) is dominated by commercial airliners/businessliners. The one aircraft to rank in the Top 10 Aircraft (by Model) that does not have its roots in commercial airline manufacture is the AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter.

Yacht Owners without Aircraft

“The science of research is key to revealing the relationships at a far deeper level than ever before between yacht and aircraft markets.” - Mike Foye, JETNET

So what type of yacht owner/lessee doesn’t yet own an aircraft? According to YachtSpot data, there are 1,501 individuals who either own or lease a yacht, but don’t own or lease an aircraft. Of those, 775 – or 42% – own a Super yacht (30-44m length) while a fairly even split 31% own Luxury yachts (24-29m) and 27% own Mega yachts (30-45m). 32

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

Around 9% (or 130) yacht owner/lessees who do not own aircraft have owned aircraft previously. The majority (40%) are owners of Super yachts, again indicating yacht markets for those in the aircraft market to target for potential business when the time is right and yacht owners who have left begin reentering the aircraft market. A look at the 3,642 companies owning yachts but not aircraft reveals a similar picture, with approximately 47% owning Super yachts. Unlike the results for individuals, however, if we look at companies that own or lease yachts that previously owned aircraft (>9% of the total number of companies owning yachts but not aircraft), the split is relatively even at 40% of Super yacht owners, 29% of Mega yacht owners, and 29% Luxury yacht owners.

In Summary

Returning to our opening question, what do you get when you cross hundreds of yachts with hundreds of aircraft? “The science of research is key to revealing the relationships at a far deeper level than ever before between yacht and aircraft markets,” Foye highlights. Those relationships should help companies active in the Business Aviation market to exploit the crossovers and find new avenues for business opportunities that were not previously so readily identified. “Our data strongly indicates that individual owners or dual asset owners appreciate the form and function of specific makes and models and the pairings therein,” concludes Foye. Using the small nexus between owners of yachts and aircraft may seem challenging, but locating HighNet-Worth Individuals is analogous to finding the illusive needle in a haystack. JETNET’s new YachtSpot may be just what the marketer ordered. T More information from www.yacht-spot.com or www.jetnet.com

GAMA Q1 2017 New Airplane Shipment Analysis

The General Aviation Manufacturers Association released its Q1 2017 business aircraft shipment totals and generally things are looking up a little (although there are still some dark spots in the mix). Mike Potts delves a little deeper… 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. Contact him via msmkpotts@aol.com

otal Q1 2017 new airplane shipments were up slightly at 434 units, an increase of 2.8% over the 422 units delivered in Q1 2016. Jet deliveries were up 6.6% (130 units, from 122); Pistons were up 6.3% (203 units, from 191). That’s the good news. In the ‘disappointing’ category, the turboprop segment was down from last year by 7.3% (101 units, down from 109 units reported in Q1 2016). Total Q1 2017 billings also lagged at $3.56bn, down from $3.99bn in Q1 2016 (a reduction of 10.9%). In Q1 2016 jets, turboprops and pistons were all

down from their 2015 totals, as were billings. And the year before that, in 2015, jets, turboprops and pistons were also all down. In fact, you have to go back to 2014 to find a year like this one, where jets and pistons were up over the year before. In 2014, the turboprops were also lagging behind the previous year’s Q1 total. Considering the situation from a ‘trend’ standpoint, this year’s Q1 is the best since 2014. For what it’s worth, 2013 was the last year when all three segments were ahead of the year before, and that’s actually a pretty rare occurrence. There have been only two other years (2005 and 2006) since 2000 when all three segments were ahead of the prior year.

Why Are Things Looking Up?

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017


GAMA June17.qxp_GAMA DEC05 23/05/2017 16:15 Page 2

Having two of the three segments ahead of the year before is also comparatively rare. Other than this year it has only happened four times this century (2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014).

Jet Market Specifics

You’ll have probably noticed that this year’s numbers are, nonetheless, a little strange in that jet deliveries are up but billings are down. Usually a surge in jet deliveries will drive billings upward too. Looking at the specifics of the jet market, however, we can begin to understand how billings can lag in spite of an upturn in jets. The 130 units delivered in this year’s Q1 report put jet deliveries in the same general range they have been in throughout this decade. With the exception of Q1 2014 when jets reached 154, Q1 jet deliveries have been between 123-133 units since 2011. So Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

“...we see the number of smaller jets in the mix increased significantly, particularly with Honda adding its lower cost units.” jet sales can truly be said to be flat and have been for the past seven years. There is, however, quite a lot of movement going on in a market deemed ‘flat’. For example, just two years ago Bombardier was leading the market with 45 units. Today it’s in third place with 29. While Bombardier might contest the assertion that the jet market is flat, www.AVBUYER.com

today’s market leader, Cessna, finished Q1 2017 with 35 units, up from 34 a year ago and would probably agree that the market is steady. As recently as four years ago, however (Q1 2013) Cessna delivered 38 jets, so can certainly recall when things were better during this ‘flat’ market. Gulfstream finished Q1 2017 in second place with 30 units, up from 27 a year ago. Four years ago (2013) it had 29 shipments, so again the evidence supports a steady market – although at that time Gulfstream was up by 52.6% over the 19 units reported in 2012 – all of which falls within the timeframe the market has been ‘flat’. The point is that during this ‘flat’ time, the individual OEMs have experienced some pretty significant ups and downs. Of the eight jet OEMs reporting deliveries during Q1 2017, four enjoyed improved numbers, including Gulfstream and Cessna; two were even and two suffered downturns, including Bombardier. Dassault now only reports deliveries after Q2 and Q4. The company with the largest gain was Honda, which finished tied for fourth place with Embraer (who experienced a fairly significant downturn). Honda, which is just finishing its first full year of production, made 15 Q1 2017 shipments, up from three a year ago. Embraer’s 15 Q1 2017 shipments, conversely, were down from 23 units delivered in Q1 2016. One Aviation tied for sixth place with Boeing – both reporting three deliveries. One Aviation was even with the three units delivered in Q1 2016 while Boeing was up from one unit a year ago. Airbus brought up the rear in the business jet market with no deliveries in Q1 2017, matching the previous year’s Q1 performance. As we look at the jet market in summary we see the number of smaller jets in the mix increased significantly, particularly with Honda adding its lower cost units. At Bombardier, while the shipment total dropped just two units, the percentage of very high-end units was down markedly; the Global 5000/6000 series was down from 14 units to eight, and the Challenger 350 dropped from 14 to nine. The Learjet series, meanwhile, gained market share from one unit to five. The bottom line is that more lowercost jets were sold in Q1 2017 versus Q1 2016, dragging down the billings total.  June 2017 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

Turboprop Market Specifics

The turboprop market also had a downward impact on billings. Although it was not readily apparent from GAMA’s headline numbers, when you drill down into the details the turboprop market (particularly the market for twin-engine turboprops) endured a very rough Q1 2017. Textron’s Beechcraft unit, which historically leads the turboprop market by a comfortable margin, finished tied for first place with Pilatus this year, with each delivering just 12 units in Q1 2017. Beechcraft’s deliveries were down from 26 in Q1 2016 (-53.9%), while Pilatus was down from 19 (-36.8%). Also down for Q1 2017 were two other leading turboprop OEMs, Cessna and Piaggio. Indeed, third place in turboprop deliveries was a big surprise: Quest reported nine deliveries for Q1 2017, up from five a year ago (+80%). Quest has been slowly gaining momentum over the years and now takes its place among the major turboprop builders. Cessna came fourth with eight shipments, down from 12 a year ago; fifth was captured by Daher, with seven units (+40%) from five last year. Piper was sixth with four deliveries, up from two a year ago, followed by AVIC (two, up from none); Pacific Aero (one unit, level with last year’s Q1 report); and Piaggio, which had no deliveries, down from one in Q1 2016. Turboprop results continue to be confused by GAMA’s unwillingness to segment the agricultural aircraft. These had a strong Q1, with Air Tractor reporting 28.6% more deliveries than last year. Thrush was level with last year’s result. So the strength of the agricultural market masked traditional corporate turboprop market weakness. Single engine corporate turboprops accounted for 41 units in Q1 2017, down from 44 last year, but the real weakness was in twin turboprops, which totaled 14 units, down 48.2% from Q1 2016 when it had 27. Collectively, including both twins and singles, the traditional business turboprop market was down 22.5% in Q1 2017 versus Q1 2016.

Piston Aircraft Highlights

Piston aircraft sales are actually doing pretty well in the context of overall 38

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

piston deliveries across the past decade. The 203 units delivered in Q1 2017 is actually the third best since 2008, being surpassed only by the 209 recorded in Q1 2013 and the 241 that came the following year. Piston sales were quite a bit stronger in the first years of the century, with deliveries in the 300-399 range for all the years except for 2005-2007 when they reached 439, 600 and 554 respectively. By 2009 piston deliveries had mostly fallen below the 200-unit mark, reaching a low of 166 in Q1 2010, so this year’s total looks pretty good. Results in the piston market were evenly distributed, with five of the 14 OEMs reporting increased sales, five reporting a decrease and four with results that matched their 2017 and 2016 Q1 totals. The leader in Q1 2017 piston sales is Cirrus, with 57 – matching last year’s Q1 haul. In a somewhat distant second place is Cessna, with 41 units. Nevertheless, that represents a 51.9% increase over the 27 units Cessna delivered in Q1 2016. In third place is Italian OEM Tecnam, which delivered 19 single-engine piston aircraft in Q1 2017, up from 18 last year. In fourth place – and closely challenging Tecnam – is Piper with 17 units (down from 19 last year). Diamond was fifth with 11 deliveries, down from 20. The piston twin market was up 12.5%, with 27 units in Q1 2017 compared with 24 last year. Twin piston manufacturers www.AVBUYER.com

included Diamond (10 units), Tecnam (8), Beechcraft (5) and Piper (4). Interestingly, Diamond, Tecnam and Beechcraft all matched their last year totals, while Piper was ahead of its 2016 total when it reported just one delivery.

In Summary…

The relative strength of this past quarter (turboprop twins notwithstanding) is encouraging, although piston deliveries aren’t yet strong enough to be signaling an industry-wide turnaround. It is evident that we are, at best, in the beginnings of a slow recovery that we can only hope will see jet sales rebound into the 800-unit-per-year range sometime in the near 2020s or perhaps even a little before. It would also be nice to see the turboprop segment recover some market strength. We’ll keep you posted… View GAMA’s Q1 2017 Shipment Report in full on page 40

NOTES: 1. A shipment occurs when an aircraft is shipped from its production facility to a customer located anywhere in the world. 2. Shipments may include deliveries to a fractional operator owned by the company or to an aircraft dealer. 3. Aircraft are considered manufactured in the U.S. when produced under an FAA production approval and in Europe when under an EASA production approval. 4. Military aircraft shipments are not included in shipment table totals. 5. Company billings are not reported. Where available, GAMA estimates total billings using public information including B&CA Purchase Planning Handbook 2016. 6. Diamond Aircraft HK36 Motor Glider model is included in civil make-model shipment total, but not summary tables. GAMA will further integrate CSVLA and S-LSA aircraft into future shipment reports. 7. Airbus and Boeing twin aisle shipments are identified in the report, but their value is not included in the calculation of billings. 8. Dassault reports combined civil airplane deliveries twice a year in accordance with company financial reporting procedures. 9. Pipistrel Aircraft is a new addition to the shipment report in first quarter 2017.

Understanding Aircraft Finance

While cash deals still make up most turbine aircraft transactions today, financing remains a viable option for many, notes Conklin & de Decker’s David Wyndham.

T

he US Federal Reserve Board has indicated that it plans to increase interest rates gradually. Regardless, financing is very inexpensive at this time. Financial institutions tend to base their aircraft rates on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is the interest rate charged by the leading banks in London when they borrow from other banks. LIBOR currently is the highest it has been in eight years, but rates are still below 2% for their 12-month term. If you or your company has investment-grade credit, money is inexpensive to borrow. If you plan to purchase an aircraft to be used primarily for business, you may want to have the tax depreciation benefits. In general, owning the aircraft (whether purchased with cash or finance) 46

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

will give that benefit to you. If you don't need the tax benefits, however, leasing may be the best way to go. For those seeking to finance a purchase, there is a choice to obtain financing through traditional public banks, private banks and other non-bank financial firms. (For the purpose of this article, we'll use ‘Financial Institution’ as a general term, unless the text applies to one specific entity.) Buyers of business aircraft should be aware that public banks tend to have greater regulatory oversight and thus may be limited in some of the more creative options that other institutions can offer.

Should I Lease or Buy?

Leasing (in the form of an operating lease) offers a specific period of aircraft access with a defined, fixed-cost of ownership at a specific lease rate. The financial institution that owns the aircraft assumes the residual value risk and will have the tax depreciation benefits.

“Given the volatility in future aircraft values at this time, lease rates today will reflect that uncertainty.”

Short-Term Lease: Some financial institutions will offer short term leases of 18-24 months. Such an arrangement is particularly useful to operators waiting for delivery of a new aircraft. This solution may be easy to do if the financial institution is also involved in the new aircraft financing or leasing. An important question when leasing is who pays for any unscheduled or major aircraft maintenance? If the leased aircraft is due for a major inspection during your lease, are you going to be responsible for 100% of the expense or will the lessor assume responsibility of at least a portion of the cost? Long-Term Leases: The length of a lease can vary. Since the financial institution carries the risk of the aircraft’s residual value and must retain aircraft ownership at lease-end, it will price its lease terms accordingly to cover that risk. Several experts within the industry have estimated a 10-12% decline in the value of turbine airplanes, annually. Given the volatility in future aircraft values at this time, lease rates today will reflect that uncertainty. Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Early Buy-Outs (EBOs) can be offered in a lease, allowing a Lessee the option to exit the lease by purchasing the aircraft. On an eight-year lease, you may have an EBO at years four, five and six (for example). The financial institution will offer the EBO at a fixed-price that covers its estimated residual value risk, and as a result the EBO can be greater than the aircraft’s fair market value at the buy-out time. With many leases you can exit at any time provided you pay off the remaining lease payments. Leases also have requirements for the aircraft’s condition at the end of the contract. There will be adjustments for high utilization and its impact on both the maintenance status of major components as well as the aircraft’s residual value. Many lessors (especially in large cabin jets) will require that the engines be on a guaranteed hourly maintenance program to protect the engine values. With Lessors facing uncertain futures regarding residual values, financial institutions all set the lease rate to  cover that uncertainty. www.AVBUYER.com

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T FINANCE

Leases ultimately work best for those who: • Have no need of tax depreciation; • Have a fixed amount of utilization; and • Have a fixed period for which they wish to have the aircraft. Lease buyers should also look to financing to obtain an aircraft. Financing: There are many different options within financing. The better the credit, the more options become available. Interest-only or large balloon payments at term-end are still available. Some loans may have Loan-to-Value (LtV) guarantees to secure the financial institution's risk. LtV is a ratio of the loan's principal balance to the fair market value of the aircraft. The LtV guarantee typically states that the fair market value of the aircraft must be greater than the remaining loan balance. If LtV exceeds 100% it triggers a payoff to the financial institution that brings the LtV back into a safe range for the lessor. Loans may or may not require collateral in addition to the aircraft.

“On that basis, a 15-year old aircraft would get a five-year loan, but not six years.”

The Twenty-Year Rule

Since the recession, aircraft values have remained low and there is no immediate sign of that changing. There also remains a good supply of preowned models from which to choose. That situation is great if you are the aircraft buyer. Along with new aircraft, younger used aircraft would be the preferred asset to lend against. While

48

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

www.AVBUYER.com

the change in residual value on a new aircraft can be significant, the financial institution will have a high degree of confidence that they can sell the aircraft in the event of a default from the owner. Many financial institutions, however, are wary of having to sell an older business jet they’ve taken back from a lease or collected in default. Thus we have the ‘Twenty-Year Rule’ that states, “The age of the aircraft plus the length of the transaction will not exceed 20 years.” On that basis, a 15-year old aircraft would get a five-year loan, but not six years. The Twenty-Year Rule is a soft rule. The more a financial institution knows about you, your intended use of the aircraft, and the technical knowledge they have about the aircraft you are considering, the more flexible the rule becomes. Regardless, a thorough pre-buy by a qualified maintenance facility (not aligned to the seller) will be essential.

Quality Matters, ADS-B Matters

Financial institutions like financing new aircraft. These are in new condition, have the latest avionics, are in warranty and should see no major maintenance expenses during the first years of use. Financing used aircraft requires more work by the financial institution. The quality of the aircraft and its maintenance status ultimately trumps its age. ADS-B is a part of the due diligence process for a prospective aircraft buyer. ADS-B is required here in the US by January 1, 2020. On that date, a turbine aircraft not equipped for ADS-B Out effectively becomes impractical to fly. Be warned that there is not enough capacity in Aircraft Index see Page 153


Finance 1 June17.qxp_Finance 25/05/2017 10:06 Page 4

all the qualified avionic shops to update the estimated 11,000 turbine aircraft still requiring ADS-B upgrade by 2020 (and that number does not include the thousands of piston-powered aircraft that also will need ADS-B Out). Lending institutions will be reluctant to finance an aircraft that does not have ADS-B Out capability unless it has a scheduled slot for the installation.

Where’s the Best Place to Finance?

Start where you currently bank. You may already have an existing relationship with one or several financial institutions that you can leverage. They know you, your business and your financials. If you have significant financial resources with one institution, it will likely work very hard to keep all your banking business with them. Larger institutions often have an aviation banking division as part of, or even separate from their equipment finance division. If the deal is complicated or your financial institution seems reluctant to work with aircraft, you may wish to look for a financial institution that caters to those types of transactions. The National Aircraft Finance Association (www.nafa.aero) is a great reference for finding an

aviation lender. NAFA has teams that focus exclusively on aircraft finance and leasing, and the Association offers a product and services finder that enables you to look up specific institutions. Some lenders have financing specialties such as aircraft loans and leases from $1m-10m. Another relatively new resource is FlyFunder (www.flyfunder.com), which seeks to match financial institutions with aircraft buyers in search of financing. FlyFunder uses general details of the transaction as provided by the buyer. The financial institution can review and choose to respond as "interested" to the buyer. FlyFunder’s income comes from a fee paid by the financier. Another source to find financing may be via the aircraft dealer or broker. Many have successfully closed hundreds of deals that were financed. They may well have recommendations based on the type of deal that you need.

Used Aircraft Financing Facts Cutting Through the Myths of Aircraft Financing

Latent memories of the Great Recession continue to feed myths and misinformation about the availability of aircraft financing and loan interest rates, notes Dave Higdon. But what are the myths, and what are the facts…?

T

he myths surrounding the availability and terms of aircraft financing combine to discourage some prospects from pursuing their desire to buy into Business Aviation, or change their aircraft. It’s important, then, to explore the perceived ‘truths’ of aircraft financing, and where necessary set the record straight. Following are some of the prevailing myths in Business Aviation at this time...

Myth 1: There’s Very Little Good Financing Available

Multiple lenders with credible reputations for fair dealing are servicing today's market for new and used business aircraft. These lenders span a significant variety of institutions and businesses. Today's playing field is arguably smaller, albeit more diverse than it was in 2007, however. Today lenders range from large banks (domestic 50

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

and international) to smaller institutions focusing on regional markets. Of course, they all seek to generate profit from their assets but can't make a profit off idle money... so many lend funds to airplane buyers, which (in general) tend to be goodrisk borrowers. Not all lenders offer financing suitable for every deal or airplane category. The key to fulfilling the finance need centers on finding a fit between the chosen aircraft and the lender. Thus, aircraft financing can be as much a matter of knowing what to seek as knowing what to avoid. A business looking to add its first aircraft asset may need nothing more than its local bank when the aircraft is a high-performance Piston Single, older Turboprop or even an older Light jet. But a prospective operator looking to add a late-model Large Cabin jet may find better, more knowledgeable help via a lender specializing in higher-end business jets.

Myth 2: Cash is Always the Best…

The perennial conundrum in aircraft transactions: Cash or credit? In recent years many a business decided to bank profits rather than invest them – or return some to shareholders as dividend payments. Such caches of cold cash allow the

holders the option of acquiring the business aircraft of their choosing without enduring the process of finding financing, completing loan applications, conducting due diligence documentation and engaging title search companies. Cash purchasing means no loan papers, no credit check, no down-payment and no interest payments. The title check, however, remains a smart move that, if skipped, could produce complications when time comes to sell that aircraft. According to a sampling of dealers, brokers and lenders, cash remains king and accounts for upward of 40% of all used aircraft purchases. Leases of various types are responsible for another third of transactions, leaving between 25-30% of transactions to the lenders. Interest rates for lending remain below historic norms, even after several small upward adjustments by the Federal Reserve in recent months. The 12month US$ London Interbank Offered Rate (USD LIBOR) is the average interest rate at which a selection of banks in London are prepared to lend to one another in US$ with a maturity of 12 months. LIBOR rates provide a good yardstick. The bank rates for loans on business-turbine aircraft in the US range from the low 3% range to Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

under 5%, based on a sampling of multiple institutions. Take a look at homes and automobile loans and you'll see similar rates for “well qualified” customers. The lowest rates go to new and newer used aircraft – but only for those well-qualified buyers able to make a minimum down-payment of 20%. The lowest interest rates go to buyers making higher down-payments. The planned home-base of an aircraft may impact the interest rate a lender seeks – particularly if the lender is in the US and the planned home base is in a part of the world with security issues. Cash transactions carry lower costs - they tend to take less time, and once the deal is done, it's done. You can base the aircraft anywhere that works for you. The only issue then is between you and your insurer. But, cash reduces the tax implications with no interest payments to deduct. Any depreciation depends on whether the asset remains eligible to be written off. Investment experts caution prospects considering a cash deal to weigh the investment value of those funds against the costs of a loan, of which interest payments are only a part. The cash-or-credit decision will hinge on whether the buyer sees potential to earn more www.AVBUYER.com

than the loan's cost by keeping the cash in paying investments. Where the loan costs exceed the funds' investment value, borrowing may not be the preferred approach. But where the funds can earn more remaining in investments, loan payments may be the better-value decision.

Myth 3: Financing Options are Restricted

Pre-recession lending norms returned a couple of years ago, albeit with changes. Today's market bears little resemblance to conditions approaching the used aircraft market of a decade ago. Diminution of residual values in today’s market differ from the heady days before the Great Recession, but younger used jets still command good prices. Availability is the biggest difference here. And now people are flying more – good news helped along by innovative new options for flying private aircraft and the high-visibility downsides of airline travel. As for options for borrowing to buy an aircraft, consider these lender options: Banks: Anyone doubting the desire of banks to participate obviously hasn't seen the advertisements populating aviation and business-oriented magazines. Banks make their profit by lending money to borrowers able to pay the principal and interest on the note. In general, all banks make loans – but not all banks lend their funds for aircraft purchases. Some banks will lend money to fund an airplane when the borrower is a valued customer with an established relationship with the institution. Other banks have departments with staff specialized in making loans on aircraft. Each has its own set of guidelines defining the kinds of aircraft and loans they will make. The key to deciding to do business with a bank is finding one for which the total costs meet the buyer's needs. As noted before, interest payments are only part of the costs, but they are tax-deductible regardless of the depreciation available, provided the aircraft is related to a business purpose. Direct Lenders: These can be a little more difficult to find, but they're out there. These sources of funding are not banks or loan companies, but they are indeed entities that lend money. In some cases, they may be individuals with liquid funds available to lend. Their interest rates may be more favorable

52

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

and their overall costs in line with, or below that of a bank or other lender. These sources have the flexibility to act where chartered institutions may not. And they're not bound by rules of banks and loan institutions. Typically, these lenders base their decision to loan more on the credit and resources of the buyer, not the asset itself. They don't always want to encumber the aircraft, instead working with the borrower's own financial security as the basis for making the loan. Asset-Based Financing: Referring to the use of a company's balance sheet assets, this form of financing includes short-term investments, inventory and accounts receivable, in order to borrow money. The company borrowing the funds must provide the lender with security interest in the assets, and with this approach the aircraft itself may not be encumbered. These types of loans are an attractive option for owners who wish to refinance an aircraft to pay for improvements, upgrades or overhauls. The assets used to secure the loan may include company inventory and raw materials used to produce new products. Interest rates may run a little higher, but the terms are often shorter and more flexible.

Lending Market Alive & Healthy...

One bank loan officer who spoke with AvBuyer noted that his institution's two biggest challenges often stem from a lack of buyers and competition from cash. Many prospects, he said, are prone to think that today's finance market remains unchanged from the dark times of 2008 and beyond. In reality, the aircraft finance market returned to a morebalanced status several years ago – and banks have funds to lend. As for the “cash competitor” (as he put it), competing for the business of the cash-flush buyer comes down to showing them what that cash can earn them over and above the costs of a loan. And that, he said, may be the pathway to gaining a customer on two fronts: One a depositor, the other a borrower. So, would-be borrowers interested in an aircraft can rest assured that loan officers across the US are ready to take your call. T

Countdown to ADS-B (Out) Compliance (Part 2 of 3)

Continuing his series, Ken Elliott addresses Automatic Dependent Surveillance, Broadcast mode, less than three years before the equipage requirement comes due.

reviously, we addressed equipage rates, summarized the technology, data sources and operational requirements of ADS-B (Out) compliance. This month, we’ll explore the technical aspects of ADS-B of possible interest to flight departments. We’ll then conclude our series with a closer look at the worldwide implementation and operational differences of ADS-B.

P

Transponder Evolution

Flight history can be a useful yardstick, recording the incremental steps of aviation and with respect to this article, the evolution to ADS-B. With dates aside, the rationale for ADS-B began with Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR), portraying each aircraft as a single, unidentified dot on a controller’s screen. On-board aircraft transponders responding to interrogations then added the ability to ‘see’ specific aircraft by providing a matched response to an ATC-assigned four digit Mode A code, entered by the pilot. To confirm that a specific radar return on their display was the actual aircraft being tracked, the controller also requested the 56

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

pilot push-select an ID button on the transponder cockpit control (known as Squawk ID). This action created an eyebrow feature above the radar return, turning it into an identified target. By then adding Mode C (Mode B was not used), the aircraft’s altitude also displayed in 100ft increments, alongside the identified radar return. Transponders, and what they provided, became known as Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR). Evolving further, to meet Europe’s condensed airspace requirements, transponders were adapted to provide data-based information, such as FLT ID. Being an early form of Mode S, it combined the existing Modes A & C with additional identification data. Pilots entered their specific Flight ID code into the transponder control unit or flight management system. Each step in the evolution of surveillance provided greater position accuracy. ADS-B is the logical progression in the quest for identifying a specific aircraft in an exact location. Flight ID has since expanded into Elementary Surveillance (ELS), using a personalized 24 bit ICAO address, based on its registration, and then

For the US, Specifically…

Aside from 1090ES transponders, Universal Access Transmitter (UAT) versions may also be deployed for ADS-B Out, operating at a lower 978 MHz frequency. This version is popular with General Aviation light aircraft, especially if they do not need to fly in Class A airspace or internationally, where 1090ES is always required. Essentially, UAT services are only provided below 18,000 feet and only available in the US. Having 978 UAT also allows ‘ADS-B In FIS-B’, a no cost traffic and flight information service. This FIS-B service is provided in addition to TIS-B, available to all with ADS-B In. Traffic Information Services – Broadcast (TIS-B): a transitional technology that provides aircraft, equipped with ADS-B Out and utilizing ADS-B In capability, with client-based surveillance information. This relates to aircraft that are not ADS-B equipped and over the next three years should be less of a need. To qualify as a TIS-B target, an aircraft must be equipped with a transponder and be within radar coverage.

strapped specifically into each aircraft. If an aircraft changes its registration, a new Mode S address must be added as a maintenance action item. ELS also provides the aircraft’s altitude information in 25ft increments. ELS has further evolved into Enhanced Surveillance (EHS), by adding more data elements to the transponder transmission, using Downlink Aircraft Parameters (DAP) services. These data elements consist of:  Magnetic heading  Indicated airspeed or Mach number  Vertical rate  Roll rate  Track angle rate  True track angle  Ground speed  Selected altitude. Integration with existing AHRS and Air Data systems is required for some of these data elements while for older aircraft, additional wiring may be required. Also, if aircraft are TCAS II equipped they will have full Mode S capability. For ADS-B Out using transponders operating at 1090 MHz, the EHS version becomes Extended Squitter, or 1090ES. Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Flight Information Services – Broadcast (FIS-B): provides meteorological and aeronautical data to the cockpit. This service is not client-based and is always broadcast on the 978 MHz UAT frequency. FIS-B is not available on the 1090 MHz frequency (1090ES). Owners and operators of most jet and turboprop aircraft must determine if they have 1090ES version transponders that are integrated to other aircraft systems for the additional ADSB data required. It is further essential to make sure that Mode S strapping is current for the ICAO address, specifically assigned to your aircraft registration. Another available client-based service is Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Rebroadcast (ADS-R), which relays ADS-B information transmitted by an aircraft broadcasting on one link (for example UAT) to other aircraft equipped with ADSB In operating on a different link (for example 1090ES), and vice-versa. Ground stations convert and relay the respective frequency data matching the aircraft receiving frequency. Aircraft utilizing ADS-R will have a ‘hockey puck’ shaped area created around them, for sharing the ADS-B information with other aircraft within the same area but not on the same datalink (frequency).

Aircraft Position Information

ADS-B not only relies on the communication provided via the Transponders but also on the aircraft’s position, available from the onboard Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The existing

GPS sends a highly accurate position to the transponders that, in turn, broadcast it as part of the extended squitter. GPS receivers and antennas are found in different configurations, with some manufacturers embedding GPS sensors within Flight Management Systems (such as Universal Avionics) and others electing to provide stand-alone modules or cards (such as Honeywell). When updating or adding the GPS to the latest version required for ADS-B, it is possible to go down two paths. One is the update of the existing GPS, via either hardware or software (or both), and the other is to add a third dedicated Flight Management System or GPS sensor that will provide the necessary qualified GPS signal. Sometimes aftermarket solutions are provided. These may be an alternate to the aircraft OEM solution, or available because the OEM has not yet provided a solution. The older the aircraft type, the more likely there is not yet a factory solution available - although, in the case of ADS-B Out, OEMs have made impressive strides to serve older aircraft with solutions. The GPS position source does not need to be the same source as that used for navigation. Because of this, an independent (or third source) may instead be embedded in a dedicated ADS-B system. Some manufacturers are producing single box solutions, housing a 1090ES or UAT transponder and a compatible GPS sensor. If the GPS antenna needs to be changed, or a third one added, its location may incur additional cost impact. GPS antennas are located on top of the aircraft fuselage, requiring access to equipment inside the aircraft’s pressured cabin. This installation can range from minor overhead access panel removal to the complete take-down of a one-piece headliner. Of course, the same panel or headliner will need to be reinstalled, once the antenna has been tested for normal operation and any skin penetration pressure sealed. Adding a third GPS solely to satisfy an ADS-B Out requirement may be fully justified in some situations. However, it may not be best served for most operators to go down this route. There are two concerns with it: 1. Aircraft resale where the buyer, especially if located internationally, may be wary of a solution that might not be fully supported by the regional OEM support facility. 2. It is possible for systems to lose functionality when, down the road, future upgrades are applied to primary avionics 58

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

systems. As an example; when a third party aftermarket solution is integrated into the existing avionics bus, the installation relies on the formatting associated with the extant data on the bus remaining the same. If the primary avionics vendor then upgrades the existing systems, possibly altering the format of the data on the main bus, it may render the interface to the third party system inoperable. This unforeseen scenario could be costly and timely to resolve. The qualification of GPS sensors for ADS-B Out is based on the requirements of a Technical Standard Order (TSO), and there are three of them. Table A (above) shows for example the different likelihood of signal availability between them.

ADS-B Out Versions

One characteristic of ADS-B Out that may be confusing to operators while ensuring the compliance of their specific installation is whether the system they have is ADS-B Out Version 0, 1 or 2. (Version 0, 1 and 2 equates to RTCA DO 260, 260(A) and DO 260(B) respectively.) To make matters more difficult, there are regional variations in their requirement. For example, the US, Europe and China mandate Version 2 equipage, so even though some other countries/regions have ADS-B requirements today, they do not require Version 2. Most, however, will require Version 1. If an aircraft is Version 2-equipped it will still operate satisfactorily in areas requiring a lower version number. These ADS-B versions generally indicate different accuracy parameters and designations of data provided. Good advice for those equipping is to cut no corners and make sure you are Version 2 equipped, especially if you operate across oceans or borders and most certainly if operating where Version 2 is required.

ADS-B Monitoring

Not all aircraft noted as equipped are considered to have good installs. This is because when each aircraft is field monitored, the data provided may not be accurate or fully compliant. The FAA, via their ADS-B website, allows the flying public to complete a ‘Public ADS-B Performance Report’ (PAPR), submit it electronically, and within 30 minutes receive a summary of the ADS-B Out performance monitored from a previous flight. These are considered verification tests for operators. Of 

course, the data of the aircraft, equipment and flight must match the FAA database. It is also recommended to only request a report on flights known to have flown in airspace that has good ADS-B coverage. There is a coverage map provided on the PAPR site. For a PAPR request, you will need to know aircraft equipment information regarding type of transmit datalink (UAT, 1090ES, or both), along with make and model of the transponders and GPS sensors. For the installing agency, the FAA provides an Operational Flight Evaluation (OFE) service. Each flight is conducted to guidelines under FAR 91.407 (b), and the installer then requests a report from an FAA AFS website. The report results must match the FAR 91.227 (or 225) requirement, a very important rule covering ADS-B Out performance. For itself, and to feed data into equipage rates, the FAA also conducts ADS-B Performance Monitoring (APM), an ongoing procedure for operational ADS-B systems. Considered as trend monitoring, data are collected from the last 10-flights per aircraft. Unusual findings are notified to both operators and installing companies held on record. The FAA claims, however, to work with customers in resolving their discrepancies. Equipment found to be noncompliant is termed Non-Performing Equipment (NPE) by the FAA. Aside from operator manual entry errors, some of the ADS-B, installation related, non-compliance issues are covered in Table B (above).

Approval Basis for ADS-B Installations

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

ADS-B In

Aircraft that include the addition of a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) will enjoy the features of ADS-B In, turning the cockpit environment into a mini version of air traffic control, enabling crews to view similar traffic positioning and intention as controllers. Specifically, ADS-B In traffic data include aircraft identification, position, altitude, velocity, and other information. The actual targets displayed are predicated upon the limits of TIS-B and ADS-R, as well as broadcasts directly received from other aircraft. ADS-B In data can be surface or airborne traffic. TSO C159b calls out for four ADS-B In equipment classifications, including: •

• •

In March of 2016 the FAA issued a Policy Memorandum titled ‘Installation Approval for ADS-B Out Systems’, which outlined very clearly the different means to compliance of ADS-B Out systems in an aircraft. Interestingly for business aircraft customers, the path for certification is easier if systems have already been approved elsewhere (including the grouping of components within a total system). For example, different GPS sensors combined with different Transponders. Applicants for approvals need to ensure the different ADSB Technical Standard Orders (TSOs) have been met by manufacturers, by verifying the equipment. Deviations for installations approved under Amended Type Certificates (TCs) or Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) are permitted, as well as the lesser hurdle of utilizing Field Approvals. Because many STCs have been completed under the basis 60

of an Approved Model List, owners and installers can check for their aircraft type against a list of different aircraft models, all approved under the umbrella of one STC number. The FAA has been very understanding in qualifying the same groupings of equipment into multiple different aircraft models, lessening the burden of certifications for many installing agencies.

Class A: Cockpit display of surface only traffic information. Intended to support the display of ADS-B traffic while own-ship is on the surface and moving slower than 80 knots. Class B: Cockpit display of ADS-B traffic when airborne as well as on the ground. Class C: Airborne surveillance and separation assurance processing (ASSAP). Processes ADS-B messages to generate traffic data for a CDTI. Class D: ADS-B Traffic Advisory System (ATAS) Annunciator Panel with aural application only.

The actual ADS-B In applications are: • Enhanced Visual Application • Basic Surface (SURF) including runways • Basic Surface (SURF) including runways and taxi-ways • Visual Separation on Approach (VSA) • Basic Airborne (AIRB) • In Trail Procedures (ITB) • ADS-B Traffic Advisory System (ATAS) combining TCAS (TAS) tracks, ADS-B In, TIS-B and ADS-R as a single display on the CDTI • CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS). 

ADS-C

ADS-C (Contract) temporarily fills the void where there is no ADS-B ground station coverage. This includes Oceanic regions and remote continental areas. For meeting Oceanic Separation standards, the world’s Satcom providers enable contracts between individual aircraft and en route air traffic control centers. For aircraft that are FANS-equipped, or planning on it, ADS-C is part of the service offered. Given the Performance Based Navigation requirements of FANS compliant tracks, ADS-C functionality is certainly integral to it. In essence, FANS (including ADS-C), ‘communicates’ critical data via Satcom, including aircraft position, track, trend and its intention to en route ATC.

Space-Based ADS-B

The temporary use of ADS-C should transition into Space-Based ADS-B, where satellites will perform the function of ground stations, allowing both air traffic control and aircraft to enjoy the same benefits of ADS-B over oceans and remote continental regions. The use of Space-Based ADS-B is currently being evaluated and will be addressed in greater detail in our next article. While ADS-C communicates data via the aircraft’s Satcom system, Spaced-Based ADS-B will broadcast data in the same way it does over populated areas, but utilizing satellites as part of the infrastructure.

“Sorting through the options, in selecting both the type and extent of your ADS-B solution, is not an easy task and is best supported by a trusted service center.”

Summary

Somewhat surprisingly, both ADS-B Out and In have many layers involved in implementation and integration. Sorting through the options, in selecting both the type and extent of your ADS-B solution, is not an easy task and is best supported by a trusted service center. The more one scratches the surface of ADS-B technically, the more information is revealed to share. This article has attempted to focus on the more relevant and interesting aspects of the subject. With only three years to go until the ADS-B equipage deadline, pilot- and technician-friendly resources are now prolific. Many aircraft and equipment OEMs have informative and dedicated web pages for their customers. Equally MROs and Avionics Shops are providing useful links to all sorts of solution-based ADS-B information. The FAA, NBAA, AOPA and AEA have outshone themselves in ADS-B communications. With all the information available, owners and operators should be aware of ADS-B requirements. They should also understand the options and realize they have until December 31, 2019 to comply. Irrespective of an anticipated status of aircraft ownership and ignoring false rumors of implementation delay, there is every reason to upgrade in a timely manner. To place that in graphical terms, if two identical aircraft are parked side by side on the ramp, one with ADS-B and the other without, it would not be difficult to figure out which aircraft maintains the selling edge.

What’s the Real Cost of NextGen?

While much has been published on the subject of NextGen compliance, understanding the terminology and the required installation dates and, most of all, the value impact NextGen is likely to have on an aircraft has been foggy, at best, for many owners. Tony Kioussis and Barb Spoor seek to clarify…

N

extGen is likely to have a profound impact on General Aviation aircraft values and the overall economic life expectancy of many assets.

The ‘What’ of NextGen

While there are a number of new requirements that aircraft owners will need to address, we’ll start by translating three key acronyms and explain the role these systems have been designed to play. • ADS-B Out (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast Out): This NextGen technology is a data communication system that allows aircraft to ‘broadcast out’ their altitude, airspeed, location, and to indicate whether they’re climbing, descending and/or 64

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

turning, utilizing the aircraft’s GPS. The ability to receive such information on board an aircraft (‘broadcast in’) is available, but installing this capability is optional. ADS-B is a core component of the NextGen infrastructure that - over time - will replace radar as the primary method by which ATC will track aircraft and manage controlled airspace. The system is expected to enable more efficient aircraft separation and provide coverage in areas presently not served by radar. PM-CPDLC (Protected Mode – Controller Pilot Data Link Communication): This is an air-ground data link communication that is similar to text messaging. Most aircraft that were manufactured with PM-CPDLC automatically meet the ADS-B mandate. FANS (Future Air Navigation System): This architecture consisting of satellite communication and satellite navigation is designed to enhance the information displayed on radar consoles to create a superior environment for aircraft surveillance and control.

Tony Kioussis is President of Asset Insight, LLC, a premier audit and valuation firm specializing in aircraft and aviation-related equipment. Barbara A. Spoor, ASA Accredited Senior Appraiser, is Executive Vice President, and a founding member, of Asset Insight, LLC. More information www.assetinsight.com

PM-CPDLC: While rules initially required all aircraft operating above FL285 within European airspace to have PM-CPDLC/Link 2000+ installed by February 5, 2015, the mandate was suspended due to technical issues. New rulemaking designed to resolve these issues is expected by late 2017. Within the US, certain airports are already utilizing this technology as an optional communication method. As airports convert this technology into a requirement – expected to occur in the near future—aircraft not equipped with PM-CPDLC will be unable to access those destinations.

FANS: Within oceanic regions, FANS 1/A currently permits aircraft to fly within airspace providing reduced separation between FL360-390. FANS 1/A will be expanded to cover airspace from FL290 and above in 2020. Additionally: - FANS 2/A went into effect on February 15, 2015 covering operations within FL360-390 through tracks within the North Atlantic Track System; - FANS 2/B will become effective on December 7, 2017 covering operations between FL350-390 throughout the North Atlantic region; and - FANS 2/C requirements will go into effect on January 30, 2020 and cover all Minimum Navigation Performance Specification airspace throughout all ICAO North Atlantic airspace at FL290 and above.

Can Your Aircraft be Upgraded?

The ‘When’ of NextGen

Having outlined these key components of NextGen, let’s examine exactly when each of these requirements must be installed. As with most regulations, the answer is “it depends”. • ADS-B Out: Broadcast (Out Only) capability must be installed – or must have been installed – on an aircraft by the following dates in order to meet national and international regulatory mandates: - Australia 2014/2016 - Singapore 2014 - Indonesia 2014 - Hong Kong 2014/2015 - EASA Jan 1, 2020 (the regulations were originally scheduled to go into effect in 2015/2018, but were moved to 2020 to accommodate FAA-registered aircraft) - FAA Jan 1, 2020 Many operators are of the opinion the aviation authorities will move the regulation effective date back as we approach 2020. However, the Agencies have been firm about the current due date, citing it has been pushed back twice and will not be moved again. Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Interestingly, for some owners, the answer to the question whether their aircraft can be upgraded is “not at this time”. However, once a technical solution becomes available for your asset, it may not be economically logical, or functionally manageable, to upgrade your aircraft. While we suspect there will be a type of solution for virtually every aircraft, certain ‘standalone’ solutions may not be appropriate for those operating aircraft within high traffic density airspace. Standalone solutions could significantly impact an operator’s safety management environment as these ‘solutions’ will require the flight crew to enter and maintain information on yet another communication system in what is already a heavy workload atmosphere in crowded terminal environments.

How Soon Should You Seek to Comply?

Let us assume you have identified a solution appropriate for your aircraft and mission requirements. We strongly advise aircraft owners to complete the required work as soon as possible. But why is this necessary? First: While some people may think that costs to secure and install the necessary equipment will decrease as time goes on,

www.AVBUYER.com

June 2017 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

65


Avionics 2 June2017.qxp_Finance 23/05/2017 14:04 Page 3

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T AVIONICS

the opposite will most probably occur. In fact, many speculate that, as we approach each due date, costs may rise exponentially as a result of limited component availability and facilities capable of accomplishing the required modifications. Second: It may take longer than you think to obtain the necessary components and secure an installation slot. One of our clients wishing to upgrade their Bombardier Challenger 604 ordered the required equipment/components and sought to schedule with the installer to perform the work in September 2016. However, the installation is not expected to be completed until July 2017 as a result of slot availability. Be aware that there are a finite number of facilities able to install equipment for each make/model aircraft. By one OEM’s estimate, less than 10% of their turbine-powered fleet has been converted to meet ADS-B requirements thus far. With 100 hours required per aircraft, on average, to complete the required work, the OEM has estimated there are unlikely to be sufficient facilities to address aircraft whose owners have not secured a position in the very near future. For owners who wait too long and are unable to comply prior to the due date, additional expenses will arise due to storage fees, calendar-based maintenance, and other fees associated with an aircraft that is grounded until it can meet NextGen regulations – not to mention the cost associated with the asset’s loss of use. By way of encouraging owners to install ADS-B early, the FAA began offering a rebate of $500 to the first 20,000 applicants that qualify. The rebate became available on September 19, 2016, and information is available on the FAA website.

What if You Miss the Compliancy Date?

What will the impact be to aircraft owners and operators that are not NextGen compliant by the due date? In simple terms: •

Without ADS-B (Out) installed, an aircraft will be effectively grounded. While the aircraft may, in some cases, be operable within uncontrolled airspace, such flying will, in most cases, need to take place below 2,500 feet AGL, which is not practical for business operators. In addition to the airport access issues noted above, aircraft not equipped with PM-CPDLC will not be able to operate on the North Atlantic Track System or the Pacific Organized Track System, limiting operations to routes sometimes far off the preferred course, leading to increased flight hours and greater fuel burn. Any aircraft that is not FANS 1/A+ compliant will not be able to operate on the North Atlantic Track System between FL350-390 after December 7, 2017, and from FL290 and above effective January 30, 2020.

So What is the Real Value of NextGen?

All of the above brings us to the issue of value for compliant versus non-compliant aircraft. It is our view that: •

• 66

Aircraft currently equipped with ADS-B (Out) and meeting other NextGen requirements carry greater value that will decrease over time, based on a sliding scale, until each mandate’s deadline is met. Commencing January 1, 2020, we believe aircraft

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

equipped with ADS-B (Out) will gain no added value, since such equipment will simply make an aircraft compliant with the regulations. Conversely, following the 2020 deadline: - Any aircraft not equipped with ADS-B (Out) will suffer a value decrease equal to 100% of the average cost to acquire and install the necessary equipment, plus an additional penalty covering the time required to cure the regulatory requirement, plus (potentially) the additional cost of lost revenue/opportunity based on the installation time and the aircraft’s mission-specific loss of utility. Any aircraft capable of intercontinental flying not equipped with FANS 1/A+ will incur a value decrease equal to 100% of the average cost to acquire and install the necessary equipment, plus an additional penalty covering the time required to cure the regulatory requirement. For aircraft on a charter certificate, the penalty will also include the cost of lost revenue and/or the higher cost to reach international destinations based on sub-optimal routings.

In Summary

There is little doubt many owners will find it challenging to justify the expense of meeting the various mandates based on their aircraft’s present value. In fact, the regulations are likely to accelerate aircraft retirements – an unintended consequence of NextGen some are viewing as a “silver lining” that they hope will favorably affect aircraft values. While an older aircraft may represent an investment holding a firm expiration date and little, if any, current redemption value, it is important not to unintentionally reduce the value of a worthwhile asset by failing to take appropriate and timely action.

New vs. Used?

A Question Worthy of Careful Consideration Aviation Director Andre Fodor reflects on the risks and rewards of exploring all options when selecting your next business aircraft.

s a child of immigrants, it was ingrained in me growing up to be financially resourceful. When I told my parents that I’d purchased a brandnew minivan to accommodate my growing family, they were quick to remind me of the loss in value that would be incurred just by driving the car out of the dealership. The low interest rates, discounted pricing, bundled accessories and all inclusive maintenance couldn’t sway them from their stance. Airplanes in those respects are just like cars. They come with similar purchase incentives, and suffer depreciation in similar fashion. For many flight departments, that makes a discussion about whether to buy a new or used aircraft a very pertinent topic.

A

Purchasing a New Jet

There is nothing like a shiny paint job, stain free carpet, headliners free of scuffs, and that brand new smell in a new aircraft. The maintenance logbooks are thin, and you can set up everything exactly as you want them to be. With that being said, you will also have in your 72

hands an ‘infant aircraft’, that is approximately two years short of maturity and reliability, prone to youthful tantrums, malfunctions, failures and postmanufacture squawks that will be yours to manage and overcome through warranty, maintenance programs and professional relationships. With the purchase of a brand new aircraft, you should select the latest avionics advancements that can be afforded. The goal here is that the airplane will not require costly upgrades, or become technologically obsolete for several years. If you are selecting a new airplane, it’s important to avoid the common mistake of dismissing the purchase of an advanced avionics system in favor of cost savings. Upgrading later can not only be costlier, but may significantly add to the inconvenience of downtime (and loss of dispatch ability). Note that many later upgrades of this nature require significant interior removal within the aircraft. By getting the upgraded systems when you first buy your new aircraft, price and taxation are diluted through the acquisition cost and there will be no labor costs associated with the installation. On the more general subject of taxation, it is worth considering that many countries promote sales through tax incentives on new aircraft. It’s therefore essential that your legal and finance team be well-versed in the advantages of early  Aircraft Index see Page 153

depreciation, tax friendly locations, self-leases and any other opportunities for money savings. For companies with heavy tax burdens, the purchase of a large asset may offset higher tax brackets. Finally, consider that when buying brand-new, you will want an experienced professional to accompany the aircraft through its manufacture and certification, assuring that you are getting a high quality jet right from the ‘cradle’.

Purchasing a Used Jet

The alternative option is to acquire a used jet. With current global financial conditions, exciting opportunities exist for the acquisition of very nice aircraft at an equally attractive price. Be sure to know your mission requirements thoroughly – not only for now, but for the mediumterm, because you may find it tempting to buy a larger jet than you need because the purchase price is cheap. The operational costs on a larger airplane will certainly be a sticker shock to the unwary! Buying an older aircraft offers interesting opportunities providing the pedigree of the aircraft is nothing but excellent. Beware of the bottom prices: take the time to learn the history - do your research thoroughly. Prices that differ wildly from market averages (particularly to the south of the market average) are very likely to come with history, possible legal issues, poor care or damage history. I once met an operator who had purchased a used jet for a bargain price, only to find that it previously belonged to Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi. The records were sketchy, and upon its first landing in the US, it was impounded due to unpaid bills. An experienced broker would have been able to raise the much 74

needed information to prevent such a purchase from being made. Purchasers of used aircraft must be willing to set money aside for upgrades. In one respect, the airplanes don’t depreciate in value as quickly as new airplanes do (there’s a much steeper depreciation curve at the beginning of an aircraft’s life), and the purchase price is lower, which may enable a larger budget towards upgrading the jet at an appropriate time. As always, you should build a solid team of experts that can help you identify a used airplane of excellent pedigree, know all of the right upgrades to keep it viable into the future, and handle the buying and upgrading process without ending up with a costly, heavy inspection (for example) that was not calculated into the acquisition price. Finally, make sure that any residual warranties and engine and/or maintenance contracts are transferable, and check whether there are any ‘buy-in’ fees regarding these attributes. Be sure there is an ample supply of parts available in the market to keep your aircraft flying and productive well into the future.

In Summary

Regardless of where you choose to go with the new or used aircraft discussion, surround yourself with expertise and experience. These resources will prove to be money well spent and will discourage you from bad decisions and the dreaded buyer’s regret. Stay focused on the end-game, which is to secure a fair deal to all involved and an airplane that will provide your flight department with reliable and efficient corporate transportation for years to come.

Tips to Keep Staff Pilots and Improve Safety

How Does Employee Retention Help a Flight Department’s Safety Effort? Being a Corporate Pilot isn’t easy, notes Mario Pierobon. That’s reflected in the relatively short tenure of pilots within a Flight Department. So how can Flight Department Managers keep staff longer and retain the highest safety standards in the process?

ne of the realities of Business Aviation is that pilots come and go. They tend to not stick with one employer very long as they seek better opportunities or come to terms with the commercial reality that they have relatively short-term engagements with those who hire them. Yet a healthy level of employee retention is good for business, and especially useful from a safety management standpoint within the Flight Department. Those Flight Departments that can boast a healthy level of employee retention demonstrate that they can foster a sense of belonging within their workforce. And with belonging comes greater care and personal accountability. Employees are more willing to ‘go the extra mile’ to make things work, and they foster ‘continuous

improvement’ as a true corporate value, not just lip service. With a sense of belonging, a genuine confidence can exist that pilots will report safety issues impacting both themselves and their colleagues (as part of the team). Higher employee retention also ensures that the effects of training are maximized. Furthermore, maintaining proficiency through recurrency courses is not just treated as a ‘necessary evil’ providing addenda to the CVs of employees. So, how does a Flight Department achieve an increased employee retention rate?

Career

The first thing for Flight Department Managers to do is be honest with themselves; they need to be convinced that having employees stick around is a good thing. Corporate Pilots are not looking for a parttime job – they’re looking for a career. In order to deliver consistently in the workplace they need to have profound career aspirations met and fulfilled. There can be no effective management of employee performance if this fundamental Aircraft Index see Page 153


Safety 1April17.qxp_Finance 23/05/2017 14:56 Page 2

need is not embraced. Indeed the very same career aspirations that new recruits have are likely the very same ones that motivated Flight Department Managers when they started out as professional pilots.

Salary

Second, new recruits must be offered a suitable salary – yet this is the hardest task to accomplish because the flight operations manager may have relatively little say over budgets. So they often must do the best they can with whatever is made available to them. If new recruits are not given a fair salary it is almost certain that they will leave, and with that departure the need arises to find someone else who will become familiarized with the workings of the organization. Familiarization costs time and money, and that indirect personnel cost may not be duly accounted for by senior management. Thus, the Flight Department Manager should make a compelling case to senior managers and demonstrate how paying better salaries improves the organization’s bottomline. Paying low salaries is ultimately a short-sighted approach. Advocating this position may require courage and creativity on the part of the Flight Department Manager.

Promotion

The third effort that flight department managers should achieve is helping personnel fulfil their aspirations. Improving personnel retention (and managing their performance) requires more than good remuneration.

Corporate pilots expect to advance in their careers with increasing responsibilities, not just increasing flight hours. A problem with some Corporate Flight Departments is size. The opportunities for employees to grow as people managers can be limited as there are few levels of management as well as managerial posts available within smaller organizations. However, the proactive Flight Department Manager will realise the regulatory requirements for air operators entail several functional managerial roles (safety, quality, training, etc.). Opportunities thus exist for employees to grow as functional managers while continuing to fly, and these requirements should be utilized in order to support the fulfilment of career aspirations. Further, with continuously upgrading aircraft technology there are many shorter-term projects to implement company wide. Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and Performance Based Navigation (PBN) transition are examples of technological change within the industry, and the transition from one system to another can be assigned to members of staff to help increase their sense of ownership within the department. Such assignments emphasize that the organization values employee input. Management’s efforts to enhance job fulfilment for pilots contribute to employee retention. In short, retaining employees might imply higher remuneration costs, but building a loyal and knowledgeable staff results in improved performance and safety standards, which can be inhibited by high levels of personnel turnover.

NTSB’s Most Wanted List - Loss of Control

Again this year, just as in the recent past, the US National Transportation Safety Board lists Loss of Control as a critical safety issue for General Aviation, including professionally flown turbinepowered aircraft. Jack Olcott reviews a classic case involving a Pilatus PC-12… hen a pilot loses control of an aircraft, the risk of a serious or fatal accident is very high. In the United States nearly half of all fatal fixedwing accidents in GA during the last decade resulted from Loss of Control (LOC). Most, but not all LOC accidents involve pilot distractions that result in failure to maintain flying speed, loss of situational awareness and subsequent spatial disorientation, or inappropriate penetration of weather. As the tragic loss of a professionally-flown Pilatus PC-12/45 illustrates, however, even experienced aviators are at risk when procedures are not followed and anomalies not addressed. Except for the number of passengers being transported, the proposed flight of a Pilatus PC-12 was unexceptional. Its pilot was a former military officer with Lockheed C-141 Starlifter experience as well as employment with several air carriers and charter companies. At the time of the accident, he had flown 8,840 hours overall and nearly 1,800 hours in PC-12s, including 10 hours in the preceding 30 days. His FAA record indicated no previous accident, incidents or enforcement actions. The day prior to departing on a repositioning flight from California’s Redlands Municipal Airport (KREI) to Nut Tree Airport (KVCB), also in California, the pilot requested that airport personnel fill the PC-12’s fuel tanks with Jet A, but did not ask that a Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) be added to his refueling order. The PC-12 Airplane Flight Manual states that an “antiicing additive [FSII] must be used for all flight operations in ambient [outside air] temperatures below 0°C. On a standard day the temperature is 0°C at 7,500 feet, thus nearly all PC12 flights require the use of a FSII fuel additive. Data downloaded post-crash from the accident aircraft’s Central Advisory and Warning System (CAWS) showed that fuel flow anomalies were present during the 1:48 solo leg from KREI to KVCB, most likely because of ice crystals that formed and interfered with fuel flow from the aircraft’s tanks, which are located in each wing, to the single turbine engine mounted in the aircraft’s nose. At Nut Tree Airport the pilot used the airport’s self-service fuel facility to top-off the aircraft with Jet A, but personnel at the airport found no evidence to suggest that he had added a FSII ice inhibitor. Four adults and five children boarded at KVCB for the short, 13-minute flight to California’s Oroville Municipal

W

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Airport (KOVE), where an additional two adults and two children boarded. Thus the total occupancy for the approximately 2:30 flight to the intended destination of Bozeman, Montana (KBZN) was 14—six adults, seven children ages 1-9 years, and the pilot. Two children occupied several single seats, sharing a safety belt, and the youngest child may have been situated on an adult’s lap. While that passenger load was not consistent with either Pilatus or FAA protocol, NTSB investigators stated that occupants played no role in the aircraft’s subsequent loss of control as it diverted to and approached Bert Mooney airport (KBTM) in Butte, Montana.

Uneven Fuel Flow

Analyzing data from the PC-12’s Central Advisory and Warning System, the NTSB determined that fuel flow during the KOVE-KBZN leg also was disrupted, although the effects of apparent ice crystals forming in the Jet A were not obvious for the first hour of flight. At about 1:18 after take-off from KOVE, however, the PC12’s CAWS showed that the left boost pump was on continuously and the right boost pump was off, indicating that the operating pump was automatically attempting to correct a fuel imbalance of at least 70 pounds. Such an imbalance would have also created a two-bar difference between the aircraft’s left and right fuel indicator’s 28-bar display. As stated in the PC-12 AFM, the maximum allowable fuel imbalance as indicated by the aircraft’s two fuel gauges is three bars. According to NTSB analysts, about that time the aircraft’s sole PT6A-67B turbine engine was drawing all its fuel from the right tank. By 1:32 after departure, a fuel imbalance of 273 pounds existed and continued to increase steadily. Two hours and five minutes into the flight, the aircraft’s left fuel tank contained 1,047 more pounds of fuel than the right tank, thus causing a significantly heavier left wing and a 22-bar differential between the right and left fuel quantity gauges.

Aeronautical Decision Making

Subsequent actions of the PC-12 pilot suggest that he was aware of the aircraft’s fuel flow issue, although it is unknown when he felt the problem warranted corrective action such as diverting to an alternate airport. Approximately 1:30 after takeoff from KOVE, the aircraft’s fuel gauges indicated a three-bar differential and were rapidly diverging. Five minutes later, when the aircraft was within 28 miles of Boise, Idaho’s municipal airport (KBOI), fuel gauge differential had reached five bars and would differ by eight bars after another five minutes, when the aircraft was still within a short flight from the ample facilities of Boise’s several FBOs. Clearly, the pilot needed to make a decision regarding the indications that a fuel flow problem was occurring. Behavioral experts offer several approaches for dealing with Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM). One that is relevant is the DECIDE model, where the letters are used to prompt pilots to follow a six-step approach: 

Fuel imbalance as indicated by the aircraft’s gauges reached 15 bars about 1:50 after takeoff from Oroville (KOVE) on the fateful last leg of the PC-12 flight, when the aircraft was within four minutes’ flying time from a suitable airport at Challis, Idaho (KLLS). At 2:05 after departing from KOVE, with another usable airport seven minutes from the aircraft’s course, the aircraft’s left tank was full and the leftwing heavy situation had reached more than 1,000 lbs and was rapidly diverging. About 100nm from his filed destination of Bozeman, Montana (KBZN), the pilot diverted to Butte (KBTM), 55nm and 13 minutes flying time from his present position, reaching the vicinity of KBTM with a fuel imbalance of 1,302 pounds. The NTSB concluded that even with the left tank full and the right tank essentially empty, the PC-12 possessed sufficient aileron control power to counter the left-wing heavy situation provided the aircraft remained in steady flight and maneuvering was kept to a minimum. Tragically, the experienced PC-12 pilot lost control of his imbalanced aircraft as he attempted to maneuver for landing at Butte. All on board perished. 80

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

Learning from Others

Reporting on the tragedy, safety experts at the NTSB concluded the pilot underestimated the seriousness of the initial fuel imbalance warnings, in part because he apparently had not experienced any adverse outcomes from ignoring similar warnings previously. Had he detected the anomalies earlier in the flight, estimated the effects of those changes and chosen the recommended course of action to avoid exceeding Pilatus’s AFM limitations of fuel imbalance, the outcome might have been different. Faced with a laterally imbalanced aircraft, the pilot might have estimated what he would encounter as he maneuvered for landing, and he might have evaluated how the approach to Butte could be flown to minimize controllability risks. The pilot had not flown into Butte previously and may not have considered the environment around KBTM, which is situated in a valley surrounded by mountainous terrain. Approaching Butte from the southwest over high ground, the pilot had limited distance between the surrounding mountain peaks and the airport for descending for his approach. The environment surrounding KBTM differed significantly from several other airport options situated in valleys and available to the pilot as the fuel imbalance situation worsened. Loss of control is a risk that all pilots face whenever an aircraft is flown under conditions that approach or exceed the vehicle’s certified flight envelop. While comprehensive planning is required at all times, special care and prudent decisions are needed when conditions are abnormal. T

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.

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

86

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

cabin space. Cabin Volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs or other furnishings. Cabin Door Height and Width are the measurements of the main passenger cabin entry door. BAGGAGE Internal baggage volume is the baggage volume that is accessible in flight by the passenger. This amount may vary with the interior layout. External baggage volume is the baggage volume not accessible in flight (nacelle lockers, etc.). CREW SEATS/SEATS EXECUTIVE This is the typical crew and passenger seating commonly used on the aircraft. This is not the maximum certificated seats of the aircraft. These numbers may vary for different operations (Corporate, Commercial, EMS, etc.). Weights: • Maximum Take-Off Weight and Maximum Landing Weight are specified during aircraft certification. • Basic Operating Weight is the empty weight, typically equipped, plus unusable fuel and liquids, flight crew @ 200 pounds each and their supplies. • Useable fuel is the useable fuel in gallons x 6.7 pounds per gallon (Jet fuel) or 6 pounds per gallon (AVGAS). • Payload with Full Fuel is the useful load minus the useable fuel. The useful load is based on the maximum ramp weight minus the basic operating weight. • Maximum Payload is the maximum zero fuel weight minus the basic operating weight. Specifications Performance Range: • Range (4 Pax) - The maximum IFR range of the aircraft with four passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft. • Ferry Range - is the maximum IFR range of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft. • VFR Range - Seats Full is the maximum www.AVBUYER.com

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

Balanced Field Length BFL is the distance obtained by determining the decision speed (V1) at which the take-off distance and the accelerate-stop distance are equal (fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft only). This is based on four passengers and maximum fuel on board (turbine aircraft). For single-engine and all piston fixed-wing aircraft, this distance represents the take-off field length at Maximum Take-off Weight (MTOW). Landing Distance (Factored) For fixed-wing turbine aircraft, landing distance is computed using FAR 121 criteria. This takes the landing distance from 50/35 feet (depends on certification criteria) and multiplies that by a factor of 1.667. No credit is given for thrust reversers. Configuration is with four passengers and NBAA IFR Fuel Reserve on board. For fixed-wing piston aircraft, this figure is the landing distance over a 50 foot obstacle. Rate of Climb (Ft/Min) The rate of climb, given in feet per minute, is for all engines operating, at MTOW, ISA conditions. One Engine Out rate of climb is for one engine inoperative rate of climb at MTOW, ISA.

ver the following paragraphs, we’ll consider productivity parameters (payload/range, speed and cabin size) and cover current market values for King Air 350i/350iER. The field in this comparative study includes the Piaggio Avanti II.

Brief History

The King Air family is part of a line of twin-engine turboprop aircraft produced by the Beech Aircraft Corporation (now part of Textron Aviation). Launched in 1964 with the introduction of the Model 90, variants of the King Air have resulted in the longest production run of any civilian turboprop in its class. It has outlasted all of previous competitors, and the only other aircraft currently being built in its market is Piaggio’s Avanti. The King Air 350 is essentially a model 300 with a 34inch fuselage stretch, two additional cabin windows on each side, 41-inch wing span increase, drag-reducing

winglets (giving extra range) and 1,000 lbs. additional MGTOW. The first King Air 350 deliveries occurred in 1990 as the ‘Super’ King Air 350. The King Air 350 was built until 2009. The model 350i, built in 2010, is a derivation of the model 350 featuring a "FlexCabin" configuration that can be swapped easily for a variety of missions. The 350i also boasts a quieter cabin with sound levels reduced to an average of 78dBA. The current production models are the King Air 350i, King Air 350iER and King Air 350ER, all of which are adept at accommodating passengers, cargo, air ambulance or other special missions. There are 324 wholly-owned King Air 350i and 350iER aircraft in operation worldwide. By continent, North America is home to the largest fleet percentage (65%) followed by Asia (17%), accounting for a combined 82% of the fleet. Almost 20% of the King Air 350i/350iER inoperation fleet is leased, according to JETNET statistics. Aircraft Index see Page 153

The data contained in Table A (left) are sourced from Conklin & de Decker and the May 2017 issue of B/CA. As we have mentioned in past articles, a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The King Air 350i ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 1,489 lbs is considerably greater than the Avanti II at 848 lbs of payload capability and King Air 350iER at 823 lbs. In addition, the fuel usage by each aircraft in this field of study is depicted. The King Air 350i and 350iER burn more fuel per hour at 122 and 124 Gallons Per Hour (GPH), respectively, compared to 104 GPH for the Avanti II (per Aircraft Cost Calculator). That’s 17% and 19% more gallons per hour respectively.

Cabin Cross-Sections

According to Conklin & de Decker, the King Air 350i cabin volume is 344 cu. ft. and its cabin length is 19.5ft. The Avanti II has the greater cabin volume (393 cu. ft.) but is shorter in length at 17.5ft. Chart A (left) (courtesy of UPCAST JETBOOK) shows the side-by-side comparisons.

the applicable recovery period. In most cases, recovery periods under ADS are longer than recovery periods available under MACRS. There are a variety of factors that taxpayers must consider in determining if an aircraft may be depreciated, and if so, the correct depreciation method and recovery period that should be utilized. For example, aircraft used in charter service (i.e. Part 135) are normally depreciated under MACRS over a seven-year recovery period or under ADS using a twelve-year recovery period. Aircraft used for qualified business purposes, such as Part 91 business use flights, are generally depreciated under MACRS over a period of five years or by using ADS with a sixyear recovery period. There are certain uses of the aircraft, such as non-business flights, that may have an impact on the allowable depreciation deduction available in a given year. Table D (left) depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2014-model King Air 350i aircraft in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five- and sevenyear periods, assuming a 2014 new value of $7.4m, per B&CA.

The current used jet market for the King Air 350i shows a total of 13 aircraft ‘For Sale’ with seven displaying an asking price ranging from $3.7m to $5.9m. While each serial number is unique, the Airframe (AFTT) hours and age/condition will cause great variations in price. Of course, the final negotiated price remains to be decided between the seller and buyer before the sale of an aircraft is completed.

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 King Air 350i and 350iER display a high level of productivity. Popular attributes of the King Air 350i and 350iER are the lower variable costs and longer range compared to the Avanti II but at a higher initial acquisition price. The Avanti II has more cabin volume, greater available payload with maximum fuel than the King Air 350iER, but less than the 350i, lower fuel burn and a lower acquisition price.

BOARDROOM T INSURANCE

Insurance Fundamentals What Does your Stated Coverage Actually Provide…?

Heidi R. Albers, an attorney with Cooling & Herbers, P.C., dissects the word ‘insurance’ to examine some of the typical terms and protections of aircraft hull and liability policies. Her checklist format offers owners and operators insightful information... Heidi R. Albers is an aviation attorney at Cooling & Herbers, P.C. with offices in Kansas City, Missouri and Wichita, Kansas. Ms. Albers appreciates the contributions to this article from Robert Hopson, Vice-President and aviation insurance specialist with Lockton Companies.

F

irst, a word of caution: Although many aviation insurance policies are written on an “All Risk” basis, they do not cover all risks of owning and operating an aircraft. While an essential tool for risk management, insurance policies have coverage limits, restrictions and exclusions that must be understood. Even if unlimited coverage were available on the market, the cost would not be practical for most owners. In a nutshell, here is the best approach when insuring your corporate aircraft:

• • • •

102

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

Buy as much insurance coverage as you can reasonably afford; Verify that your policy complies with insurance requirements in your aircraft contracts; Check your policy for gaps in coverage; Contact your aviation insurance broker to fix any issue with your policy before operating your aircraft, such as changes to the approved pilots or additional insureds provisions. www.AVBUYER.com

As outlined below, there are some common coverage issues that you should consider when reviewing your Business Aviation insurance policy.

Insurance Coverage

Physical damage coverage is insured at an amount agreed upon by the aircraft owner and the insurer. In determining the agreed value, insurers will use the current market ‘retail value’ as a guideline, and owners should consider what it would cost to replace your aircraft with ‘like-kind and quality’. If the agreed value is higher than the true market value, you may be paying a higher premium than necessary and the insurance company may elect to repair any damage rather than declare a total loss, which may impact your aircraft’s resale value. If the agreed value is lower than the true market value, the insurance company may elect to declare a total loss rather than repair the damage and you may not have adequate insurance proceeds to replace your aircraft in the event of loss. Review the agreed value at the time of yearly policy renewal to determine the appropriate amount to replace the aircraft (including all upgrades and improvements) in the current market and to comply with the minimum insured values required by your lender. Aircraft liability coverage limits are available up to hundreds of millions of dollars. The limits are Aircraft Index see Page 153


Insurance June17.qxp_Layout 1 23/05/2017 15:34 Page 2

of coverage). You may want to limit the amount and extent of coverage available to such insureds to maximize the coverage available to you. For example, if the policy provides $50m overall in liability coverage, you may want to limit the coverage you share to $10m (unless higher coverage is required under your contracts with the Additional Insured). Another common issue for policies with multiple insureds is invalidation of interest/breach of warranty. Generally, if one insured party invalidates the policy, coverage is voided for all insured parties. Lenders and other Additional Insureds usually require an invalidation of interest/breach of warranty clause in their favor to ensure that they have coverage if the Named Insured or other insureds invalidate the policy.

Use

Some aviation insurance policies for smaller aircraft restrict coverage to ‘pleasure and business’ use, which means you may not charge for the use of your aircraft. If you plan to operate the aircraft for reimbursement under Part 91 of the FARs, you want a broad usage clause under your policy to provide coverage “for all operations of the Named Insured”. Any commercial usage, such as charter, should be expressly recognized as an approved operation in the purpose of use clause to avoid any doubt that it is covered under your policy.

Restrictions

negotiable and based on a number of factors including the aircraft type, maximum seating, pilot experience and value of assets of the insured. Since future loss is impossible to predict, the best approach is to buy as much liability coverage as is affordable and relevant for your operations. Your aviation insurance broker should explain all the coverages under your policy, including coverage for ancillary expenses such as extra costs for rental aircraft and trip interruption. Ancillary expenses can exceed the cost to repair damage to your aircraft, and without the proper coverage you will not be reimbursed by your insurer.

Named Insured

The Named Insured under your policy should include the aircraft owner and any other related parties that may have legal liability or require insurance defense in the event of a lawsuit. “ABC Company, LLC, its members, managers, directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries and affiliated companies” is an example of a broadly-worded Named Insured clause. The Named Insured owns the policy, is responsible for premiums, benefits from all coverages, and controls the claims process and changes to the policy. Additional Insureds share only some of the liability coverages, do not have as many rights or responsibilities as the Named Insured and do not have control over the policy or the claims process.

Shared Coverage

If you add other parties as Additional Insureds under your policy, your liability coverage is shared with them (also known as dilution Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

There are many restrictions in an aviation insurance policy that should be carefully reviewed with your aviation insurance broker to ensure that the policy covers your intended operations. These may also be called conditions or exclusions. For example, the policy may restrict coverage to those operations within a certain geographic territory. Another common condition is the Pilot Warranty (Approved Pilots) clause in your policy, which lists the approved pilots for your aircraft and provides an ‘open pilot warranty’ for any other pilots. The open pilot warranty is the minimum qualifications and training requirements for coverage under your policy for pilots not specifically listed as approved in your policy. The use of pilots for your aircraft who are not specifically listed or who do not comply with the open pilot warranty in your aviation insurance policy will void your coverage. A broader pilot approval clause such as ‘any pilot approved by the Named Insured’ is recommended.

Allied Perils and War Risk Coverage

There are several allied perils and war risks that are typically excluded from coverage in an aviation insurance policy with respect to both liability and physical damage coverage. The war risk exclusion is not solely for acts of war, terrorism and hijacking, however. For example, coverage for confiscation and seizure of your aircraft is also typically excluded. Some limited coverage can be purchased to mitigate these risks. It would be wise to talk to your aviation insurance broker about adding war risk liability and physical damage to your policy, particularly if you operate aircraft outside of the US. The premium to add this coverage is usually minimal.

Non-Owned Coverage

Any aircraft used that you do not own in whole or in part is considered a non-owned aircraft and is not covered under your policy unless you have non-owned aircraft liability coverage. For example, if your aircraft is undergoing maintenance or being used by another person, you may need to lease or charter an aircraft owned by someone else. If there is an accident while using a non-owned aircraft, you may have liability and need to defend yourself for damage to that aircraft or harm to others arising out of your operation or use of that aircraft. The best approach is to maintain non-owned coverage under your own policy, plus be covered as an Additional Insured under the policy for the aircraft you are using. As there are limitations on the applicability of non-owned coverage, this provision should be carefully reviewed with your aviation insurance broker for adequate protection.

Contracts

Submit your aircraft contracts to your aviation insurance broker for review before you sign them. Otherwise, you may later discover that you have agreed to certain obligations that are excluded under your policy. Aviation insurance policies also usually require that you submit a copy of all such contracts to your insurance company underwriter for acknowledgement and approval. Common provisions that require insurer approval include indemnification obligations to your contract partner and additional insured and “waiver of subrogation” coverage obligations in favor of your contract partner. 104

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – June 2017

Exclusions

“ Submit your aircraft contracts to your aviation insurance broker for review before you sign them.”

www.AVBUYER.com

There are numerous exclusions under aviation insurance policies. Some excluded losses may be covered by adding a ‘write-back’ endorsement to your policy for an extra premium, such as the war risk coverage discussed above. Another common exclusion is for claims relating to the loss of market value of your aircraft as a result of damage history, which is also known as diminution in value. Diminution coverage, which may be obtained through an endorsement to your policy, covers a percentage of the agreed aircraft value depending on the amount of premium paid. This coverage may offset a reduction in resale value resulting from damage history, but the coverage is costly compared to physical damage premiums. If you operate your aircraft in foreign countries, be aware that certain aircraft insurance coverage may be required for compliance with a country’s rules and regulations. For example, if you operate your aircraft in or over the EU, you must have certain liability coverages based on the MTOW of your aircraft and other factors. If you operate your aircraft in Mexico, you need a liability insurance certificate issued by an insurance company licensed in Mexico, which can usually be obtained for a nominal charge. Notify your aviation insurance broker of your intended international operations to ensure that coverage applies while traveling abroad and that all necessary documentation is issued properly. In conclusion, you should consult with your aviation attorney and insurance broker about these and other considerations to ensure that your aviation insurance policy fits your unique operation.

T

he Embraer Phenom 100 series is projected by the Aircraft Bluebook to accumulate 200 Hours annually. Currently, the Phenom 100 market shows the average TTAF (taken from 44 aircraft ‘For Sale’) is 1,141 hours with an average of 901 landing cycles, which is an average ratio of just over 1 flight-hour, 16 minutes per landing. The average Year of Manufacture of the ‘For Sale’ Phenom 100 is 2010 (seven years old). The Phenom 300, meanwhile, is projected by Bluebook to accumulate 300 Hours annually. The

106

current Phenom 300 market shows the average TTAF (taken from 20 aircraft ‘For Sale’) is 549 hours, with an average of 401 landing cycles, which is an average ratio of approximately 1 flight-hour, 22 minutes per landing. The average Year of Manufacture of the ‘For Sale’ aircraft is 2012 (five years old). There is no Bluebook data regarding projected annual flight-hours accumulation for either the Legacy 450 or Legacy 500. There are no used Legacy 450 jets ‘For Sale’ (as of May 2017), however, there are three used Legacy 500 jets ‘For Sale’ with an average TTAF of 671 hours, and an average of 594 landing cycles. That’s an average ratio of approximately 1 flight-hour, 8 minutes per landing. The average Year of Manufacture of the Legacy 500 ‘For Sale’ is 2014 (three years old).

Legacy 600: The lowest residual value among used Embraer executive jets ‘For Sale’ is found with the Legacy 600. A 2007 model has a residual value that is about 30% of its original list price, with an average value of approximately $7.400m today, versus $24.700m ten years ago. In the past 15 years, the Legacy 600 market has seen 123 transactions.

Jeremy has been a Director of Maintenance for several different companies and employed by several airframe OEMs’ independent Service Centers. Contact him via jcox@jetbrokers.com

Other Legacy Markets: All other Embraer models have much lower resale transaction numbers, mainly because they are relatively new aircraft, and owners who made the decision to buy a new Embraer aircraft tend to stay loyal for longer period of time.

Transaction Details in Focus

Phenom 100: The residual value of a 2010-model Embraer Phenom 100 is currently about 59% of its new value, based upon a List Price in 2010 of US$3.745m, and a retail value today of ~$2.200m. Transactions of used Embraer jet models tend to reflect their respective model fleet sizes, and in the past 10 years, 201 Phenom 100’s have transacted in a used condition. Over the years, various upgrades have been introduced for the Phenom 100, including the Phenom 100E and Phenom 100EV. The difference between the Phenom 100E and EV models are a 35 lbst increase of the PW617F engine (identified by a PW617F-1 on the EV model); increased payload capability; reduced Time-to-Climb; and Prodigy Touch Garmin G3000 Touchscreen EFIS. Phenom 300: The residual value of a 2012 Phenom 300 is currently at about 76% of its new value (2012 List Price was $8.920m, and the current retail value is approximately $6.800m). In the past nine years, 70 Phenom 300s have been transacted. Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

A Word on New Legacy 650 Pricing…

Between early-March 2013 and late-January 2016, the value of the Brazilian Real against the US$ steadily dropped by more than 50%. Since then it has seen a resurgence but is still valued below 40% of its 2013 value. If you are Brazilian, you have been living through an economic depression. If you are Embraer, however, which primarily sells its products in US$, the ability to remain competitive in today’s extremely tight, cut-throat new business aircraft marketplace, is easier when your home currency value is so low. This competitive edge manifested itself in the 2017 list price offering of the Legacy 650E ($25.9m) versus the list price of the non ‘E’ model of 2016 ($29.9m). At $5m less, it is very competitively priced. This also brings the pricing rationale of this class of aircraft in-line with what a Legacy 600 would be, if it were still in production today. In essence, the Legacy 650E varies from the 650 model in that it provides Auto-Throttles as standard and has re-styled seat upholstery.  www.AVBUYER.com

usiness and personal needs change, and often the company aircraft will have to change to meet those new requirements. Whether due to business expansion, a family situation, or a home or key executive based in a new location, flight departments often find themselves expanding into new destinations that change the demands on the aircraft. Different stage lengths and available airports can ultimately drive the need to purchase the next jet, either as additional lift or as a replacement to

the aircraft that is currently being operated. Some of the driving factors may be evident to the principal owner and C-Level executives, but there are many other less obvious factors that can shape the need to purchase a replacement or supplemental aircraft. Some of these are covered below…

Staying Ahead of Regulation

Savvy owners value having an aircraft that meets the needs of the company not only for today but also for the rest of the planned length of ownership. Often owners of older aircraft bear the burden of a costly, time-consuming process to comply with regulatory mandates (such as ADS-B or FANS-1/A). The silver lining to this gray cloud of regulatory flux is that it’s a great time to trade-in or purchase Aircraft Index see Page 153

“The biggest question to a flight department is whether it will wait to be the one left holding the bag when potential buyers disappear?” an additional aircraft for the fleet, keeping the passengers in the air with a seamless transition from one aircraft to the next. When buying a replacement aircraft, there will probably be a short period when the company has an excess of aircraft on the books. This situation enables those utilizing the company jet to simply walk out of one aircraft and onto the next, and bridge financing options exist to facilitate the ownership of an additional aircraft, providing a cushion until the previous jet can be sold. Experienced sales firms are also on hand to market the older aircraft first, helping to align the sale of the old jet as closely as possible with the purchase of the replacement aircraft. With the looming January 1, 2020 ADS-B Out regulation and the limited number of facilities available to offer compliance to a vast fleet of aircraft, whether you plan on owning your aircraft beyond the deadline or not, it makes good sense to upgrade your aircraft now. Being prepared for upcoming regulations means different things to different owners, but compliance is mandatory, and a compliant jet is a far more attractive jet when it comes time to sell.

Aging Fleet

At a certain point the market tends to lose interest in great aircraft. It appears that when the annual cost of

owning an aircraft gets close to its resale value, the pool of interested buyers diminishes. The biggest question to a flight department is whether it will wait to be the one left holding the bag when potential buyers disappear? On too many occasions I have seen owners realize that the value of their aircraft has dropped so low they can’t justify selling it. You can be sure that the value of an older aircraft certainly will continue to ebb away. When the pool of buyers has dried up or when new regulations threaten to restrict your flight operations, you will have to make a difficult decision. You may even become a ‘new buyer’ all over again, with no equity in the flight department. It may be best to plan your aircraft succession strategy that includes selling or trading when the value is still liquid.

In Summary

The vision of a technologically-advanced, well purposed office-in-the-sky is what drives most buyers to take the plunge into aircraft ownership. Couple this vision with the market experience of a detailoriented aircraft sales firm and the result will be an ownership experience that leaves nothing to be desired. Part of the trick, however, will be knowledgeable, decisive action from the owner regarding when to buy and sell the Flight Department’s aircraft… T

hatever you may read about buyer caution, aircraft depreciation, Brexit, and increasing inventory on the used aircraft sales market, Q1 2017 used aircraft sales figures reveal a surprisingly stable picture of the resale market across the past two decades. A total of 525 transactions occurred over Q1 2017, representing a drop of a mere -0.2% on the 20-year Q1 average for used aircraft transactions, but a +0.1% increase on Q1 2016. “It’s clear that we’re in a new norm, looking at that 20-year average,” Barber notes. “There’s no denying the market has been horrendous – but it’s a whole lot better now than it has been for a number of years. It’s still tough, it’s not fantastic, but there’s definitely more confidence from buyers and sellers of used aircraft. If I had to summarize the used aircraft market right now, there is definitely some room for cautious optimism. “Clearly some aircraft have fared better than others,” Barber stresses. Worst impacted, according to the AMSTAT data Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

is the Turboprop sector, which was down -0.5% on the 20-year Q1 sales average (229 transactions in Q1 2017). Nevertheless, Turboprop transactions were up +0.2% YoY. Heavy Jets (99 transactions) and Light Jets (190 transactions) also trailed the 20-year average -0.4% and 0.2% respectively. Midsize Jet sales were level with the 20-year average, and up +0.4% YoY with 190 transactions in Q1 2017. Barber is also bullish when it comes to concerns about supposed buyer uncertainty within the region as a result of Brexit negotiations. “I struggle to believe that those who can afford to buy a jet wouldn’t do so solely because of Brexit. In a business jet, you’re buying time. You can’t put a price on that.” In fact, Barber anticipates an outcome from the Brexit negotiations that both sides can find satisfying – each putting their own spin on it. “I am very excited to hit the ground running as a member of the Duncan Aviation Team,” Barber summarizes. “I believe our vast resources and expertise will be of great value to both buyers and sellers - including our ability to offer bundled post-purchase support solutions for buyers (such as avionics upgrades for ADS-B Out or similar, new paint or a refreshed interior).” More from www.duncanaviation.com www.AVBUYER.com

Sun Sets on Mustang Production Final Cessna Citation Mustang Rolls Off Assembly Line

OEM Bites Dassault could launch a new Falcon jet later this year, according to the French company’s newly released 2016 annual report. Dassault Aviation chairman and CEO Eric Trappier revealed: “Preliminary studies are focusing on enhanced comfort and a reduced environmental footprint, mainly by reducing fuel consumption and noise. That’s all I can say for now.” As reported in Aviation International News (AIN), Rolland Vincent, creator of JETNET iQ comments “I think that we are all waiting to hear if and when a Falcon 9X is announced.” DASSAULT

The ground-breaking Cessna Citation Mustang enjoyed a highly successful production run, having quickly set the standard in its category for pilots stepping up to jet ownership. More than 470 aircraft were delivered to customers around the world during its 12 years of production… ith Mustang production coming to an end, Textron is positioned for a seamless transition within the light jet segment as it continues to offer customers an attractive combination of speed, range and payload via its Cessna Citation M2. The $4.5m M2 was introduced in 2013 and quickly received overwhelming market response, with nearly 150 aircraft delivered to customers around the world. “There’s a passionate following for the Mustang,” said Business Aviation forecaster Rolland Vincent. “For many people it was their first jet.” But, Vincent said, demand for it began to wane after the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, which was a peak year for the Mustang with 125 deliveries. That demand never really recovered. In 2014 and 2015, Mustang deliveries

totalled eight for each year, and Textron Aviation delivered only 10 Mustangs in 2016. “That’s not where the market is alive right now,” Vincent said. He believes the 2013 introduction of the Citation M2, whose differences with the Mustang include a private lavatory, room for two additional passengers and additional range, steered customers away from the Mustang. “The real story is keeping owners and operators in the Textron family, and I think they do that well,” he said of the M2 assuming the spot of Cessna’s entry-level Citation jet. In other Cessna news, the fourth supermidsize Citation Longitude took to the skies for the first time in May, propelling the program toward anticipated FAA type certification later this year.

In other news, Dassault added its Falcon 8X to the list of Falcons approved for operations at London City Airport (LCY), less than nine months after the tri-jet entered service in October 2016. With the clearance, Dassault’s entire in-production fleet— including the 7X, 900LX and 2000S/LX—is now certified to operate at LCY, considered one of the most challenging airports operationally. www.dassaultfalcon.com Embraer delivered its 1,100th business jet recently.

Sapphire Pegasus Awards honouring the elite of business aviation During a spectacular Gala Dinner Event in Prague on April 28th, this year’s winners of the Sapphire Pegasus Awards were announced and honored. In the impressive environment of the renaissance palace style Boscolo Luxury Hotel, the well-versed master of ceremonies of the evening London Toastmaster, Richard Birtchnell moderated his way with words of honor and excitement. The attending guests were entertained by Magician Michal Sindelar who performed magic tricks right before their eyes and fooled their minds with hands as quick as a lightning flash. They were also treated by the musical framework of Harpist Zbynka Solcova who amongst others gave a solo interpretation of the famous symphonic poem ‘The Moldau’ of the Czech classic composer Bedrich Smetana.

Managing Director of award winning London Oxford Airport, Andi Alexander, expressed his gratitude by saying: “We’re very happy with this recognition, especially so because we were judged by our industry peers. It is an acknowledgement of all the hard work from our excellent team and the investments we’ve made in our business over recent years.” In the thirty days of online voting, 28.633 votes were submitted for the 78 nominations in 12 categories. Compared to last year there was 32% increase in the number of nominations which resulted to 115 nominations of the short list. The supervision and the final of the selection process was determined by votes of the eight international judges of the Board of Advisors.

Laughs, and tears of happiness characterized the moment that all had been waiting for, as the crystal Sapphire Pegasus trophies were presented. For their great achievement and recognition of the highest level of excellence, the Awards went to the following award winners: Globe Air - Business Jet Operator Stratajet - Broker – Aircraft Broker/ Charter Broker and Other Euro Jet Intercontinental - Handler/Service Provider/FBO London Oxford Airport - Business Aviation Airport Jet Port - Outstanding Business Aviation Performance in Russia My Jet - Innovation in Business Aviation Bernhard Fragner, Globe Air - Lifetime Achievement Carol Cork, Private Fly - Woman in Aviation Kate Sarsfield, Flight International&Flight Global - Business Aviation Journalist/Topic Coverage Stratus Flying - Charity/Relief Effort VistaJet - Outstanding Integration of Social Media Signum Aviation - Young Talent/Start Up Company

“We are pleased to join the Awards team in celebrating the highest levels of professionalism in our industry and are pleased to see that most of the winners of this prestigious award are members,” said Brandon Mitchener, CEO of the European Business Aviation Association. “The increased interest in the Sapphire Pegasus Award shows that the recognition of outstanding performances is widely appreciated and recognized by international business aviation community“, commented Antonia Lukacinova, founder of the Sapphire Pegasus Award. “Based on this year’s experiences, we will enhance the program and extend its reach beyond Europe. For instance, this year still, we will introduce the award in the Western Hemisphere by presenting the trophy for four outstanding performances and accomplishments during the Caribbean Aviation Meetup on the island St.Maarten in the Dutch West Indies. For next year, we envision further international developments.”

airport’s operators. London Biggin Hill has seen unprecedented growth over the past year, attributable mainly to activity in the ultra-long-range business jet segment. The extended hours at the general aviation-only facility will add to its benefits, which include low operating costs, no slot restrictions and a six-minute transfer to the heart of the capital by helicopter shuttle service. The airport recently secured a £15 million ($18.776 million) financing package to fund a major infrastructure-improvement program, and is preparing for a new 60,000-sq-ft hangar capable of storing up to six ultra-long-range business jets; a three-story office complex of 10,000 sq ft; and an additional 1.6 acres of ramp space. Construction of an on-site four-star, 50-bed hotel has also begun. www.bigginhillairport.com

CMS Straight Talk Book from Duncan Aviation Duncan Aviation works hard to help make complicated issues a bit more understandable for the business aviation community. Toward that end, a team of the company’s avionics experts has updated the Cabin Management System (CMS) Straight Talk Book, free to download,which helps clarify the latest technologies available for wirelessly controlling cabin audio/visual systems, temperature and lighting. “Obsolescence and new advancements in cabin management are driving the demand for upgrades now more than ever. Due to the complex nature of CMS upgrades, where there are seemingly endless options to consider, lead times are long, and integration is extensive, making informed decisions well in advance of a maintenance or refurbishment event so important,” says Steve Elofson, Senior Avionics Service Sales Representative. “Our goal is to guide and educate our clients so they can make the most informed decisions possible for their aircraft, passengers, and company.” Over the last five years, Duncan Aviation’s MRO locations in Battle Creek, Michigan, and Lincoln, Nebraska, have installed more than 20 of the most popular CMS packages, like Rockwell Collins Venue and Honeywell Ovation Select, on the following make/model business aircraft: Dassault Falcon 900/ EX - Global Express - Bombardier Challenger 604 - Dassault Falcon 2000- Dassault Falcon 50 Gulfstream G550. www.duncanaviation.aero/resources/straight-talk/cms
