Editor’s Welcome Keeping the Faith

D

ealers and brokers of used aircraft have been challenged for nearly a decade by the economic fallout of the Great Recession that began in the fall of 2008.

Throughout the globe, aircraft valuations have fallen consistently over time, dropping to levels previously thought to be unlikely if not impossible.

Who would have thought that a highly capable five-year old business jet would be selling for about half the price of a similarly equipped new aircraft?

While late model used aircraft can be obtained at very attractive prices, downward trends in valuations create hesitation in the mind of buyers and sellers. Will waiting a few more months bring even better deals for the buyer?

Will the market turn in favor of the seller?

Uncertainty often leads to stagnation.

In our opinion, now is not the time to be discouraged. Rather, the signs of a recovery are surfacing, first in the US and in Western Europe. Aircraft activity is returning to pre-recession levels. Charter demand is up, and companies are probing business opportunities globally.

Now is the time to take advantage of really good deals.

Consider the content of this month’s AvBuyer. There is much good news in Rollie Vincent’s Business Aviation Market Summary as well as in the contributions of other experts to BizAv Intelligence.

Dave Higdon, meanwhile, reviews a number of promising aircraft in development programs – many of which will be on display at this year’s NBAABACE in Las Vegas later this month.

Our articles on connectivity illustrate the technology that enables a business aircraft to significantly increase the productivity of business men and women as they travel globally. Furthermore, AvBuyer provides an impressive coverage of available aircraft, used and new, to meet the transportation needs of entrepreneurs and companies.

Now’s The Time to Act

Experienced dealers and brokers know that once expectations change and used

aircraft start to move, momentum changes quickly. What was a great deal yesterday probably will not be available tomorrow. Success favors the swift. The faint of heart often are left behind.

Experts in the field of Business Aviation also know that a healthy used aircraft market is a prerequisite for a healthy new aircraft market. Most sophisticated business aircraft are sold to companies that know Business Aviation and are current owners of business aircraft. They are motivated to upgrade when they can recoup value from their current asset. Without an attractive used aircraft market, the new aircraft market suffers. Such is the symbiotic nature of our community.

Measures of success for aircraft selection are more sophisticated today than a decade ago. Operators are focusing on cost of operation—not simply performance—and they may indeed desire to obtain new models with better dispatch availability (i.e., less time in the shop being prepared for flight as opposed to dispatch reliability, which is impressively high). Thus a late-model used aircraft – one with newer technology – may offer a lower overall cost of operation than an older aircraft with similar speed and range.

Connectivity, the technology that enables an aircraft to be an ‘office in the sky’, also is a strong motivator for upgrading. We see buyers electing to purchase late model aircraft and investing in significant avionics and connectivity capabilities previously unavailable as few as five years ago.

Adding to aircraft capability is the ever increasing need for the mobility provided by Business Aviation, an essential form of transportation.

Domestically in the US and Europe, as well as globally, business needs the flexibility, efficiency and immediacy that only business aircraft provide.

Keep the faith. The market for used and new business aircraft is returning to its rightful place in the transportation strategy of companies everywhere.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Business Aviation Market Overview With NBAA-BACE around the corner, and as two of the most important jurisdictions for business aircraft begin the laborious task of clearing debris from back-to-back Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, Rollie Vincent, Editor, Market Indicators, considers the current aircraft sales markets... he premier annual gathering of industry professionals, NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition provides aircraft buyers and sellers with unique opportunities to learn more about the latest products and services, and to build trusting relationships in what is by many measures a small, tightly knit, yet global industry.

The recent hurricanes laid bare the vulnerabilities of some of the world’s largest centers of Business and Commercial Aviation – most notably Houston and Miami – to flooding, especially with the combination of torrential rains and storm-enhanced tidal surges. Business and General Aviation leaders were amongst the very first responders, maintaining vital supply lines of medicines, water, food and other essentials when other forms of transport seemed hobbled and ineffective.

While much of the world watched, private aircraft once again proved their worth, operating a form of essential air service for which no eligibility requirements existed, and for which no subsidy was expected. Unlike the proverbial debates surrounding the US DOT’s sometimes contentious Essential Air Service program, the skies and runways will always be open for the likes of Business and General Aviation heroes who stepped

up to help, especially in the Houston area, when the need was greatest.

While the industry nurtures itself back to health, exogenous calamities birthed in storm incubators as far away as the Republic of Cabo Verde are about as welcome right now as another North Korean missile over Japan.

Impact on Used Jet Sales?

With the US representing an estimated 70% of business aircraft sales activity, time will tell what impact these storms will have on what’s been a relatively good year for the industry, with overall aircraft utilization rates and used business jet sales up 6% or more Year-over-Year (YoY) through the first nine months of 2017.

In what we believe is an encouraging development, the amount of late-model, low-time, pristine pedigree used aircraft available ‘For Sale’ has dwindled, with smart money moving quickly to gobble up some of the most remarkable assets-forthe-dollar that we have ever witnessed.

We know of many situations where buyers who had previously only considered new aircraft have been happily surprised to find great values in late-model used aircraft. The traditional lines

between new versus used buyers and sellers/brokers and dealers have blurred - at least for the time being - providing new impetus for aircraft transaction specialists to extend their professional networks and trusted advisor relationships.

Used business jet inventory levels have been trending steadily downward with little interruption since their long-ago peak (near 18% of the fleet) was reached in August 2009. As we were going to press, 2,200 business jets, or just 10.3% of the world fleet, was listed as being ‘For Sale’ (JETNET), compared with 1,100 business turboprops ‘For Sale’ (or 7.4%).

Meanwhile, market sentiment of business aircraft owners and operators is improving, according to respondents to the latest Q3 2017 JETNET iQ Survey. Led by Europe and North America, market ‘optimists’ outnumber ‘pessimists’ by more than 2-to-1, up sharply from one year ago.

Brave New World

Buyers and sellers of business aircraft are still adjusting to the brave new world of prices and residual values that have shaken the industry from top to bottom. The sharp drop in values after delivery seem more akin to the experience of new car buyers rather than buyers of longer-lived assets like business aircraft.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Remarkably, and based on our latest calculations, about 50% of business jets are still in operation more than 40 years after initial delivery, hardly the profile of an asset whose value drops 10% (or in some cases much more) per year, as is the current market experience.

With young used inventory now mostly absorbed, and OEM production rates throttled back to more prudent levels nearer the current levels of demand, we should expect residual values to begin to firm up.

This has already happened in the single-engine turboprop market, but is taking more time to play out in other segments.

Most indications point to a continuation of aggressive OEM pricing, obviously to sell available production slots but also to combat and frustrate competitive inroads into market spaces ‘owned’ by incumbents.

In a marketplace with arguably too many manufacturers with too many models for sale for the current level of demand (about 1,000 new business aircraft and about 3,000 used aircraft a year), it remains a very good time to be on the buying side of the aircraft transaction.

BizAv Activity Europe

August proved to be the peak month so far in 2017, with 78,785 departures, up 5.5% YoY, according to WingX Advance.

The latest numbers take the YTD trend to 3.3%, an additional 18,047 flights compared to 2016…

Overall, August 2017 was the busiest ever August for flight activity, exceeding August 2008 by 1.3%.

Private flight activity saw 3% growth, the highest so far this year.

The four countries adding most growth were France, UK, Italy and Spain. 7% YoY growth in departures from France was reflected in a 9.5% jump in domestic flights. France is now trending at +1% YTD, up on average 147 flights per month.

In the UK, Italy, Spain and Switzerland AOC activity growth came in with double-digit increases. Private (Part 91) flight activity fell in the UK and Switzerland, however. Germany was Europe’s second busiest market in August, with the strongest growth coming in Private flights.

There was significant growth in south-eastern Europe during August, with flights from Turkey up by 14% and Greece by 19%. (YTD 2017, Business Aviation activity in Greece is up by 15%, and AOC activity was up by 25%.)

Whilst flights in Southern Europe grew more than 10% in August, activity in Eastern Europe was up by 6%, and flights into Europe from Russia increased by 5% YoY. So far this year, inbound flights from the CIS region are up by 0.1% compared to last year.

“Business Aviation activity in Europe is finally overhauling the pre-crisis levels, with flights for August 2017 exceeding August 2008 by 1.5%,” summarized Richard Koe, Managing Director, WingX. ”The growth is clearly focused around flights into and out of Southern Europe. This activity is up by more than 10%. Heavy Jets such as the Legacy 600 and Light Jets such as Phenom 300 and Mustang are doing the hard work, with most of the growth coming in demand for Charter flights.”

GAMA Q2 2017 Rotorcraft Shipment Data The General Aviation Manufacturers Association published its Q2 rotorcraft shipment report, and the numbers were encouraging…

The industry delivered 465 aircraft in the first six months of 2017, an increase of 16.8% compared to the same period of last year. The value of the deliveries was $1.9bn compared to $1.5bn in 2016.

“The second quarter shipment and billing numbers provide a positive marker for the rotorcraft market stabilizing and are a solid bright spot for the General Aviation industry in 2017,” noted GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce.

Asia-Pacific BizAv Infrastructure Needs…

Asian Sky Group (ASG) has showcased Asia-Pacific’s need for more Business Aviation infrastructure...

According to Jeffrey Lowe, ASG Managing Director, “ASG’s Infrastructure Report highlights one of the industry’s greatest challenges.

Within the next two years alone, Beijing, Manila and Singapore will reach runway capacity. Hong Kong is already over capacity. Terminals are no better with eight of the top 11 airports in Asia already classified as ‘full’.

“An important element of a healthy, sustainable Business and General Aviation industry is the required infrastructure to support it.

By clearly showing current numbers and capacity, the report defines the aviation industry’s most significant infrastructure issues, in hopes of tackling them.”

Highlights of the report include: • •

•

There are 1,017 airports with paved runway of 5,000+ feet length in the Asia-Pacific region.

61 FBOs serve the region’s growing number of business jets, along with 205 MRO providers for fixed-wing and helicopters, operated by 188 FBO and MRO companies.

Overall, the Asia-Pacific region has 21 factory-owned service centers and 93 authorized service centers.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

•

Hong Kong faces the most severe over-capacity issue in the region.

With 130 business jets based in the city and an influx of traffic from around the world, the international hub is underserved.

Australia is the most-developed market in terms of infrastructure (249 airports, 19 FBOs, 34 helicopter MROs and 14 fixedwing MROs), reflecting a mature market that more closely identifies with the US and Europe.

China does not yet have the institutional capability to perform heavy checks with consistency, and suffers from tax issues on parts importation, but is still expected to grow as an MRO center as its fleet ages and its capability improves.

In terms of passenger traffic, Beijing Capital International, Haneda International in Tokyo, Hong Kong International and Shanghai Pudong airports are among the top regional airports exceeding passenger traffic and runway capacity.

Indonesia (Halim - Jakarta), Thailand (Don Muang - Bangkok) and Malaysia (Subang – Kuala Lumpur) are country-specific examples of secondary airports in major cities that cater to business jets and helicopters, where the primary airports have an excess of commercial traffic.

Business Aviation Traffic Tracker Europe Business Aviation traffic in August was up by 8.8% compared to the same month last year, according to EBAA, marking ten months of continuous growth (not seen since 2010)…

January-August 2017 period saw 6.0% growth (not seen since 2007). Up by 11.5% JanuaryAugust, Spain and Portugal is amongst the healthiest region in this positive European overall trend. The French internal market is the biggest market in Europe in terms of movements, however, with an average 143 daily flights in August. Meanwhile, the top cross-border BizAv market is between France and the UK. MI www.ebaa.org

Russian BizAv Traffic Declines

Data from the Russian United Business Aviation Association (RUBAA) indicate that business jet flights to, from and inside Russia dropped by 12% in 2016, while passenger counts fell 23% since 2014.

Statistics were gathered from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-upon-Don, Ekaterinburg, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod and Sochi since, according to industry professionals, these destinations together generate approximately 80% of all Russian Business Aviation traffic.

According to RUBAA, the number of business jet flights decreased from more than 50,000 in 2014 to 43,878 the following year, and 41,415 in 2016. The number of travelers on those flights also dropped, from more than 160,000 down to 141,000 in 2015 and nearly 130,000 in 2016. Over the first four months of this year, nearly 10,000 flights with 38,603 travelers were recorded.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

Used Bizjet Market to Stabilize According to Joe Carfagna, Jr. Leading Edge, and Mike Dwyer, Guardian Jet, the global Business Aviation marketplace has been dynamic, influenced by global economic factors, used aircraft inventory, asset values and demand…

Market prices of used business aircraft will continue to stabilize because of the buying off of oversupply of aircraft, according to Leading Edge president Joe Carfagna Jr. and Guardian Jet cofounder Mike Dwyer, during a recent presentation at the NBAA Regional Forum at New Jersey's Morristown Municipal Airport.

Carfagna believes the market will see an uptick in prices very soon. “Currently, we are in a unique place where values are low and used airplanes are starting to dry-up. In my opinion, a five- or six-year-old airplane being 50% the value of a new one is uncharted territory for this industry. I don’t think it will remain that way over the long haul.”

JOE CARFAGNA, JR.

MIKE DWYER

However, used aircraft supply could rise again in the next few years. On this note, the executives focused on Gulfstream’s new G500 and G600 Large-Cabin jets as they add to the supply in the market.

The G500 is expected to enter service by year-end, with the G600 to follow next year.

Last year, Business Aviation brokerage firm Hagerty Jet Group advised that the G650 market should be closely watched as inventory increased and prices decreased. Dwyer noted that the G650’s introduction was completely “off the rulebooks” from previous aircraft, but described the order books for the G500/G600 as “good, but not off the charts. It’s not a stratospheric launch like the G650.”

Carfagna agrees, saying that the new aircraft would not affect the market immediately as there would be a “lag effect” from order time to delivery.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

Market’s Heavy North American Bias Global business jet deliveries, excluding very light jets, slid 6% YoY in Q2 2017, despite increases of 18% and 14% in North America and China/India, respectively, according to data released today by UBS Global Research.

The global gains were ‘more than offset’ by a 60% erosion of business jet shipments in Latin America from a year ago and a 40% drop in emerging countries in Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA).

Q2 deliveries were flat in Western Europe, meanwhile.

UBS noted that the overall business jet market is “heavily skewed” toward North America, which now accounts for 64% of total deliveries. In fact, more than three-quarters of Light and Mid-size jets are going to customers in North America.

The market is more balanced on the Large Cabin jet side, with less than half—44%—of these aircraft being delivered in the US, Canada and Mexico.

By category, Mid-size jet shipments rose 13% in Q2 2017, while Light and Large Cabin jets fell 15% and 5%, respectively. Notably, UBS said that the latter segment appears to have stabilized following a more-than-30% decline thanks to Latin America, Western Europe and China/India. UBS said that, by model, the Large-Cabin decline has been driven by lower Bombardier Global 5000 and Gulfstream G450/550 deliveries. (Words courtesy of AIN) MI www.ubs.com

Finance Sector to Swell?

More private equity firms and hedge funds are considering entering the Business Aviation finance sector, according to Global Jet Capital, to diversify their portfolios and reduce their exposure to equities and bonds and any potential market correction…

Dave Labrozzi, COO, Global Jet Capital explains, “Several key stock market commentators are predicting a stock market correction, and there is growing volatility in the markets.

“Private equity firms and asset managers are increasingly looking for ways to invest their funds in a way that offers low correlation with equities and bonds but which also provides a strong income.

Business Aviation finance offers exactly this, and you have the added security of having the loan secured against a valuable asset.”

The company also believes the price of Mid-Size to Heavy jets is beginning to stabilize following several years of falling valuations, which is also making Business Aviation finance more appealing to private equity firms and hedge funds. continued on page 34 MI www.globaljetcapital.com  Aircraft Index see Page 161

Used Business Jet Sales Continue to Break Records Following a recordbreaking Q1 for used jet transactions, Q2 2017 followed suit with 573 used business jet retail sales, notes Jeff Dunn, Head of Aviation Asset Management, PNC Aviation Finance.

That’s more than any other Q2 in history.

“The used market is as active as we’ve seen it in a long JEFF DUNN time,” notes Brian Proctor, President & CEO, Mente Group. “Aircraft that are priced correctly and have a reasonable pedigree are selling quickly – the strongest market being $20m and less.

“Due to the large amount of value that aircraft lose now, especially early in their life cycle, it really creates a value proposition for a buyer. Some buyers that have historically been new aircraft purchasers are considering the used market for the first time because of that value proposition. We are still seeing activity with the OEMs as well, especially among the fleet buyers, purchasing multiple units for a common fleet.”

Value Depreciation

When it comes to value depreciation, Mente Group has diligently analyzed trends and still believes there is room for improvement. “As robust as the used market is right now, we haven’t seen values fully rebound. I think that we are definitely past the bottom, but I don’t see the activity levels changing pricing levels proportionally. We have been using the term ‘priceless recovery’ for how the business jet market is

34

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

performing right now.”

Jeff Dorrough, VP of Asset Management for Mente Group, said the best that can be hoped for currently is a flat depreciation curve. “If the aircraft has a bad pedigree, has not been maintained well, or if the owner hasn’t performed routine and basic asset management on the aircraft, then those aircraft struggle in the market. Otherwise, as long as an aircraft is priced accordingly, they are selling fast. We haven’t seen a shortage of buyers.”

Next Generation Compliance

When asked about how NextGen compliance is affecting used aircraft sales (specifically the 2020 mandate), Brian offered the following: “What we’re seeing a lot of right now are buyers who are making a value decision on an aircraft and purchasing it at a certain price knowing that they will be putting the airplane down post-close to get work done.

“We’ve seen a lot of aircraft go into maintenance after a sale with work packages totaling between $1m and $2m that include paint and interior soft goods refurbishment, avionics upgrades, Wi-Fi installation and ADS-B Out. When it comes out of maintenance, the owner has an aircraft that can be operated for the next several years without needing any major modifications.

“Our clients now are very educated on the purchasing process. They are buying aircraft more like they did 30 years ago and less like they have over the past 10 years. They are looking less at the purchase price of the aircraft and more at direct operating costs and residual value retention. Mente Group’s consulting business is as busy as it has ever been.”

Experts within the industry believe that the secondary market needs to recover in terms of inventory levels and value before new aircraft sales are able to get back to the levels they were prior to the recession. With used transactions occurring at record pace during the H1 2017 the stage is set for the H2 2017, which historically tends to be the stronger half of the year for used aircraft sales.

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T MARKET INDICATORS

In-Service Aircraft Values & Maintenance Condition An Asset Insight market analysis conducted on August 31, 2017 covering 92 fixed-wing models, and 1,814 aircraft listed ‘For Sale’ – a decrease of 45 tracked inventory assets since last month - evidenced that all four aircraft groups were actively trading…

While Ask Prices for tracked models registered a nominal 0.1% increase in July, August followed this year’s general trend with values falling 4.2% to a new record low figure and a total decrease of 17.9% over the past twelve months.

Large jets continued their monthly decline since December with values down another 2.6% resulting in a new record-low figure. Medium jet values saw a 0.5% value increase, Small jets lost 3.7% to post a 12month low figure, and Turboprop values improved by 1.5% to record a 12-month high figure.

Inventory Fleet Maintenance Condition

The Quality Rating Trendline maintained its negative slope, but overall Asset Quality remained in the ‘Excellent’ range (Table A).

• Quality Rating: The Asset Insight Quality Rating dropped to 5.267 from last month’s 5.278, representing a 12-month low figure on a scale of -2.5 to 10.

• Maintenance Exposure: The tracked fleet’s average Maintenance Exposure (an aircraft’s accumulated/embedded maintenance expense) worsened by 4.0% to $1.383m from last month’s $1.33m.

Maintenance Exposure to Ask Price (ETP) Ratio

Our tracked fleet’s ETP Ratio (an aircraft’s Maintenance Exposure divided by its Ask Price) increased to a 12-month worst figure – 55.3% versus July’s 52.5%. Asset Insight considers any ETP Ratio over 40% to represent excessive Exposure in relation to Ask Price, and the tracked fleet’s average has been above 40% since March 2014.

Turboprops exchanged positions with Large jets for the lowest/best Ratio at 48.0% and 49.6%, respectively, but that represented a 12-month worst figure for each group. Small jets remained unchanged at 57.3%, while Medium jets degraded a percentage point to trail all groups at 61.7%.

Market Summary

It is important to understand that Asset Quality is falling, and the ETP Ratio is rising, because higher quality assets are the ones primarily trading. Ask Prices are also falling, in part because higher quality assets are those seeking a higher valuation.

The inventory fleet’s quality and price

36

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

are likely to worsen as sales increase. It is not surprising that while Asset Quality remained in the ‘Excellent’ range, its 1.1 AI2 basis point drop marked the inventory fleet’s 12-month low figure.

Large Jets: the inventory fleet’s Quality Rating remained ‘Excellent’ and virtually unchanged, although trading was quite active since last month’s report. Buyers focused on higher quality assets, which resulted in a dramatic 10.4% Maintenance Exposure increase from July’s 12-month low figure.

Ask Prices have fallen every month this year, and a 2.6% decrease at the end of August led to a new record low figure and a 17.1% average Ask Price reduction over the past 12 months. Not surprisingly, the two figures combined to worsen the group’s ETP Ratio to a 12-month high figure.

Medium Jets: Quality Rating remained unchanged and within the ‘Very Good’ range, Maintenance Exposure posted a slight increase, and the tracked inventory fleet decreased by only two units. Ask Price increased 0.5% over the past month, but has dropped 12.4% during the past 12 months. This group’s inventory has demonstrated little change during the last three months, perhaps an indication that buyers are waiting for sellers to make the first move.

Small Jets: Quality Rating fell slightly since July’s market overview, but Small Jets maintained their ‘Excellent’ rating, bettered only by Large Jets. Maintenance Exposure degraded a nominal 1.2% but is still better than the 12-month average. The same cannot be said about Ask Price, whose most recent decrease has resulted in the group losing 14.6% over the past year.

Based on asset quality and pricing statistics, it would appear that an equal number of high and low quality assets were acquired during the past month.

Presumably, the latter group of buyers took aircraft maintenance into account when making their offer – or some sellers structured great deals.

Turboprops: August ended with the Quality Rating below the group’s 12-month average, but remained in the ‘Good’ range.

This was not the case for both the Maintenance Exposure figure and the ETP Ratio – both hitting their 12-month worst figures.

However, Turboprops represent the only group that has posted a price increase during the past 12 months. Even though 2.7% might be perceived as a relatively small increase it, along with a notable inventory fleet decrease, appears to indicate this group’s values have stabilized.

Used Aircraft Market Update

Thanks to a gain in charter and fractional flying, business turbine flight activity

shows growth over the same period of 2016 – but barely. Dave Higdon draws

comparisons with the used aircraft sales market, owing to a variety of factors…

P

eople are flying these days – just not as much and less often in their own aircraft, as one market analyst interprets it. He notes a decline in Part 91 flying but gains in Fractional use (Part 91(k)) and Part 135 charter flights. This decline came on the heels of a month that showed solid growth in flight operations.

Additionally, action in the new aircraft market reflected lackluster demand, according to the Q2 2017 shipment report from GAMA. Total deliveries for H1 2017 increased slightly, but total billings plunged significantly. Deliveries grew 2.7%, while billings dropped 3.4% versus H1 2016.

These divergent numbers stem from the wide price variety in the delivery mix. Deliveries grew 5.6% among the low-dollar piston powered aircraft while business jet shipments increased a mere three units. Propjets faltered about 1% (two units). But jet sales shifted away from higher-dollar products toward lowercost jets, skewing the dollar mix into that 3.4% decline in total sales revenue.

Used aircraft sales fared little better so far this year according to numbers, data and input from various sources. It is possible that this reflects a relatively weak market confidence at this time, creating some hesitance in operators to change or add aircraft in their flight departments.

According to data presented at September’s JETNET iQ Summit, slightly fewer than half of survey respondents believe the low point in the Business Aviation market is past us in this 40

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

cycle in contrast to those in Europe, 53% of whom express optimism in the market.

Consumer interest is about 10% below its post-election peak, according to UBS Global Research data. The company's measure of business conditions remained at 5.2 where it's been stuck since January. Customer interest, as measured by UBS, declined 13% from July to August. Asking prices fell and the 12-month outlook dropped 2%.

Interest among North America customers declined by 13% from the previous month – but at an index score of 63 still managed to remain the strongest of all regions. Following the North American market came Europe, with a customer-interest score of 56; Asia (50); Latin America (44); and the Middle East (41).

Meanwhile, the available choices on the market are shrinking, with used aircraft inventories at a 10-year low – already below historical norms. Nevertheless, asking prices continue to suffer.

Three Wobbly Legs

All these conditions combine to confound the conventional view that business aircraft sales grow with the stock market, corporate profits and with economic growth. Currently, the US enjoys positive numbers on all three fronts – even some small gains in wages.

Cash accounts are flush and interest rates remain

uncharacteristically low, though the Federal Reserve continues to hint that rates will soon start to edge back to nominal. The stock market grows; jobs grow; unemployment remains low. Yet sales of used business turbine aircraft remain soft.

So what could be the culprit conspiring to holding down used business turbine aircraft sales? Uncertainty… Political uncertainty, global peace concerns over North Korea, economic-stability worries—all contribute to a lingering, lowering of confidence. The only aspect of today's conditions to enjoy any confidence is a belief that these problem are temporary. Exactly how temporary, however, becomes the question.

Uncertainty

“No matter where you sit on the political parking lot, it's hard to imagine anyone conceiving of the level of government dysfunction we're seeing,” a broker in the Southeast offered.

“Nothing big is moving, and it's looking like nothing will for the foreseeable future. Add to that tensions with North Korea, Russia and no tax plan, there can be little wonder people in business are uncertain about which way to move.

“Consequently, not moving on things may feel like the safest bet right now for many,” the broker added.

Variations on this theme came in from dealers and brokers across the country. A dealer from the southwest complained that between storms and international questions his prospects aren't seriously shopping for a replacement jet – and his only contacts come in the form of enquiries as to when the next “killer opportunity” might come along. “Who doesn't want to wait on a ‘killer opportunity’?” he asked.

“People who are serious about their business needs,” he said answering his own question. “These are the people who are beating the bushes overseas looking for deals from India, China and South America.”

What we have is a perfect picture of a recalcitrant market, beyond average uncertainty, as a northwest broker explained.

“What day has ever passed without some uncertainty?” he asked. “Some of my prospects sold their last airplane in anticipation of picking up a replacement quickly – but that didn't happen.

“Now a couple of them have adjusted to chartering, and some of them like the financial programs available – at least in the short-term. Another decided to buy shares in two different fractional airplanes; two airplanes in two very different categories.”

Upgrade Avoidance

Another sticking point, according to some dealers and brokers, is the hesitance of some prospects to buy business-turbine aircraft without the upgrade to Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast. The avionics industry continues to develop solutions for older business turbine aircraft, though thousands still remain to get equipped with the new surveillance technology.

“The problem is particularly acute for airframes not yet Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

included in an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) for installing ADS-B,” explained the northwest broker. “But some people hesitate even when the aircraft has an STC but the equipment hasn't been installed.

“Some of those I've talked to want to look into panel upgrade options they can do at the same time as the ADS-B upgrade, so I expect some of them to come around.”

Used Aircraft Sales Trends Oct17.qxp_Finance 19/09/2017 12:34 Page 1

BIZAV INTELLIGENCE T BUYING & SELLING

Used Aircraft Sales Trends How have the various aircraft markets held up in Vref’s Q3 2017 Market Leader report? Fletcher Aldredge highlights some of the key points from the categories tracked…

T

he single-engine piston market has been very good over the past year. Most of the older aircraft values have been holding firm. Indeed, since Q1 2015, the 1990 Beechcraft A36 has increased $7k. Over the same period, the 1999 Cirrus SR20 has increased $5k. These are just a couple of examples.

The Vref Light Single Index has either held even or improved for the past seven quarters. And the Late Model Light Single Index has gone up or stayed stable for the past six quarters.

Looking at several aircraft that are in the Late Model Light Single Index category, it’s easy to see why. The 2010 Cirrus SR22 and the 2010 Cessna Corvalis have only decreased in value by $5k and $10k, respectively, since Q3 2015.

Piston Twins: The twin-engine piston market has been strong for the past year. For example, the 2008 Diamond DA42 has held the same value since Q4 2015.

The Vref Light Twin Index has raised or stayed constant since Q2 2013. The Pressurized Twin Index has either increased slightly or remained flat since Q3 2015.

Business Turboprops: The Turboprop market has also seen a boost in recent activity. The Vref Turboprop Index held steady for this quarter.

Turboprops, including the 2010 Pilatus PC-12, 2010 Piper

Meridian, 2010 Quest Kodiak and the 2010 Cessna Caravan, have held strong values for the past four quarters.

Business Jets: Although this market segment continues to trend down, the decline is much less than in the recent past, which Vref views as a positive change. We hope this new enthusiasm continues. The table below shows the change this quarter in the corresponding Vref Indices as well as Q2 2017 and Q3 2016.

The light jet market has seen some new life as well as a recent bump in activity with the release of the Vision Jet and the announcement of the Eclipse 700. There was even a Stratos 714 on display at AirVenture this year.

The Mid-size jet category has been relatively flat over the past year. As you can see in the table, the Mid-size and Late Model Mid-size Indices are only down 2% this quarter. Some jets have moderated their decrease and others have levelled.

The Large jet category is still depreciating; however, we aren’t seeing the huge reductions this quarter like we have seen in recent years.

In Summary

Overall, there is a rule of thumb that can be applied to the market that will surprise few: Airplanes with good pedigree that are US-based and are priced right are selling swiftly right now.

Overpriced or not-well-cared-for aircraft are still stagnant.

hat does the current market for new and used business jets look like? Many within the industry are hoping that the upward trend reported to date in 2017 for the used jet market, along with expected improvements in the US and world economies, will continue to push more new aircraft purchases.

Currently, we continue to see a buyer’s market environment with used jets ‘For Sale’ running slightly below 11%. Over the following paragraphs, we’ll examine in greater detail the industry’s progress thus far in 2017.

New Business Jet Deliveries

Before jumping into our H1 2017 review, it’s worth providing a little perspective on new business jet deliveries between 1964 and today, including seven different US Recessionary periods. Historically, there was a period of flat industry growth, which we have labeled the ‘No Change Years’, running from 1983 to 1994 (see Chart A, left).

The market essentially suffered a 17-year trough, after a 1981 peak, followed by a high-flying ‘seesaw shape’ period in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Deliveries in 2016 only exceeded 1981’s deliveries by 14%.

Aircraft Index see Page 161

KnowMore OCT17.qxp_Layout 1 19/09/2017 12:43 Page 2

New and used worldwide business jet delivery cycles have certainly followed different trends during this latest downturn, as depicted in Chart B. Historically, there has been a oneyear lag in the recovery of new business jet deliveries, versus used sale transactions.

New aircraft orders are based on the successful sale of existing aircraft in the used aircraft market. New purchases are often coupled with sales or trade-ins of existing equipment. Thus, a single new purchase can often result in added availability and sales of at least one additional used aircraft per sale, and sometimes more.

We have seen a diversion from the historical coupling of the new and used business jet purchases/sales.

New jet deliveries were delayed as the owners/operators of existing aircraft struggled to find buyers due to an oversupply of used business jet inventory ‘For Sale’ and the large decline in used aircraft prices.

Most of these order-holders were keeping existing aircraft longer with the hope that prices would stabilize, which has yet to materialize. Thus, the decoupling impact of new versus used.

Questions about the recovery still linger. A common feeling is that we are just not there yet. Some believe this is the new normal. However, our analysis suggests that the industry is on the right track. From the Buyer’s point of view, the current market provides an attractive buying opportunity when seeking a used business jet. There is still ample inventory of most business jets at near-record low average asking prices.

Recovery Shape?

Over the following paragraphs and tables, we will reflect on the ‘big unknown’: what will be the shape of this recovery? Will it be a ‘V’-shaped, ‘U’- or ‘L’-shaped recession for new business jet deliveries? The used market has followed the classic ‘V’shaped pattern (see Chart B), but the new business jet portion of the market has clearly shown an ‘L’-shape to date.

As we reflect on H1 2017, Table A (above) shows new business jet deliveries by OEM over the past ten years. Business jet deliveries are up 1% in H1 2017 compared to H1 2016.

It’s interesting to note that Cessna moved into the lead in 2016 and 2017 for deliveries, and leads H1 shipments for the past 10 years, capturing 27% of the 3,478 new deliveries made during this period. Bombardier ranks second with 25% of the deliveries, followed by Gulfstream (18%).

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

However, when reviewing the dollar value of these deliveries Gulfstream leads with a 33% market share compared to Bombardier at 32%.

Dassault Falcon Jet (12%) and Cessna (10%) make up the remaining Top Four OEMs, who account for a combined 87% of the total dollar value.

Market Bifurcation

We witnessed a bifurcation of the business jet market in Chart C, previous page (courtesy of Teal Group), with www.AVBUYER.com

growth occurring among business jets costing >$26m compared to declines among business jets costing <$26m.

Before 2008 there was little separation between the two lines.

This separation started in 2008 and has continued to the present time.

Recently we have witnessed these two bifurcated lines moving toward each other with the large market value decreasing in business jets costing >$26m and no, or little change in business jets costing <$26m.  Aircraft Index see Page 161

Table B (above) reflects H1 2008-2017 used jet transactions (including wholesale and leases), by make, over the past ten years. H1 2017 used business jet transaction results are up 5.6% compared with H1 2016, as reported by JETNET on August 8. (Currently, H1 2017 new business jet deliveries and used sale transactions are above the 1H 2016 numbers by 1%.)

Of the H1 2008-2017 total of 10,631 used jet transactions, Cessna accounted for 35.1% (3,730); Bombardier had 2,264 (21.3%); Hawker Beechcraft 1,534 (14.4%); and Gulfstream 1,443 (13.6%).

All told, the Top Four OEMs accounted for 84.4% of all total used business jet transactions.

US corporations and wealthy individuals have a stockpile of liquid cash available to purchase.

The pent up cash and demand in the US may cause the used market to ‘pop’ more quickly than it did in 2003-2004.

Prices are depressed to historic lows.

The worldwide demand for aircraft may cause the used market to recover more quickly than we presume.

During the last market recovery in 2003, it took approximately three years for prices to fall, reach bottom, languish, and then BEGIN to increase (from April 2000 of the dot.com crash to mid-2003 when prices slowly started upward).

During the last market recovery in 2003, it took approximately five years for prices to go from their low to their high (mid-2003 to mid-2008).

ecause of human nature and basic economics, we tend to view our aircraft and its systems in a piece-meal fashion, making decisions on an “as needed” basis and not always seeing beyond the next major maintenance event.

Equipage mandates from our aviation authorities can, understandably, be perceived as a hindrance to operations, with both pilots and owners asking “what’s in it for me?” When taking a broader approach to aircraft requirements as they come due, however,

flight departments may realize significant long-term benefits. Your next major shop visit can be maximized when combining different upgrades along with major maintenance, for example.

Connectivity is one key area deserving of a broader approach by flight departments. By its very nature, connectivity touches a variety of aircraft systems. By taking a wide view of connectivity, several disjointed upgrade steps, brought together under a one-time event, may reduce overall cost and downtime.

Because technology is always evolving, it is impossible to simply upgrade aircraft systems, then sit back and relax, knowing nothing more will be required for as long as you operate the aircraft. Upgrading never stops, so the best you can do is make technology decisions based on knowledge of what is on the horizon and what industry is considering.

innovation and capability exist because we do not operate with open architecture aircraft avionics and because airworthiness compliance requirements can be overly extensive.

On the one hand, ARINC has created standardized bussing communication systems and RTCA provides a large set of integration and operating guidance.

On the other hand, OEMs have craved for – and achieved – closed cockpits with protected bussing systems.

Furthermore, this level of control has allowed a steady growth of the ‘menuplus’ ideology. When they take delivery of their aircraft, operators receive a basic set of functionality. If they desire or need additional features they may, for example, access them via a fee-based software key.

The same control mentality extends to third party developers, where novel addon features or the integration of other systems cannot be achieved simply because third parties are also locked out.

In their case, they are not offered the keys to access proprietary busses.

Inevitably, an open architecture approach is on its way, allowing 54

thousands of new connectivity choices.

Meanwhile, more and more of an aircraft’s performance will depend on it.

Understanding Connectivity

Linking different technology hardware is only a piece of connectivity; software is another. Advanced new software now enables aircraft hardware to network in ways never envisioned previously. All in all, there are several related industries that drive connectivity forward in both the cabin and the cockpit. They include: • • • • • • • • •

Aircraft OEMs Equipment OEMs Satellite and air-to-ground providers Antenna developers Personal electronic device industry Software and Cloud developers Aircraft communication and navigation service providers Aircraft completion centers and MROs Ancillary system providers.

As these industries expand into new areas and drive down cost, weight, size, power draw and time to market, there www.AVBUYER.com

will evolve a positive overall effect on the aircraft’s ability to network to other aircraft and to the ground.

Connectivity can be considered as having several sub elements, under the general categories of cabin and cockpit systems. However, the technologies used for either are cross-migrating as they reach levels of maturity that allow certification for use.

While some of these elements (represented in Figure 1, left) are more useful to those in the cabin and others to the pilots, tracking and data are very informative to both the cabin and the cockpit, as depicted in Figures 2 and 3, right.

Until recently, connectivity elements were handled in isolation, while incrementally introduced into the existing technology structure. Today these elements are morphing into one big technology, appropriately termed ‘Connectivity’.

In the wider world outside of aviation, terms such as Cloud-Based and Internet of Things (IoT) are being used to embrace the same changes taking place.

The motivation behind these changes, as they impact aviation, is derived from several areas including: • • • • • • • • • • •

Safety Human Factors Reliability Speed and Time Volume of Information Predictability Situational Awareness Traceability Data (not Voice) Entertainment Cost and Efficiency.

Because there are multiple areas driving the technology innovation, and because the several elements are becoming one, it is important for operators to view their connectivity decisions holistically.

Reviewing the major elements in isolation, it can be shown that most new aircraft include versions with current capability, or with the potential to obtain that capability. Below are some of the technologies and tools that provide the connectivity elements with the latest means: • •

Connectivity is all about staying in touch in real-time, being able to operate in the air as you do on the ground and ensuring predictability anytime, everywhere.

Staying connected is just as important within the aircraft as it is to and from the ground. Selecting the appropriate router, using Bluetooth, selecting fiber-optic wiring and the routing of Wi-Fi are just some considerations. There should be no compromise in performance or capability in the transfer of, and access to information once onboard the aircraft.

Requirements for aircraft operations come in two major groups: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

General - mandated for most airspace users; and Specific - required if you want to operate in certain sectors of airspace.

In the past, we have had general mandates such as RVSM, TCAS, ELT, EGPWS/TAWS, FM Immunity and 8.33 Comms that applied to large numbers of operators. We also had specific requirements such as Controller Pilot DataLink Communication (CPDLC) Link 2000+ as a VHF DataLink for certain EU ops, the recent TCAS 7.1, applying only to TCAS II users and now DataComm departure clearance at specific locations.

However, in either case it can be shown that connectivity and its elements cut across most current requirements.

Most notably, a recent intention of FAA Flight Standards is to reduce the Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) recertification requirement for Automatic Dependent Surveillanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft. The Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T CONNECTIVITY

Table A: A map of the connectivity elements with their motivation areas and uses to show how they each relate. Surprisingly, the motivations will apply to more of the elements eventually filling in the grey spaces, creating a single template cell of technology, as ‘Connectivity’. For example, Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) will be provided over the Internet and use more visual-based information to flight crews.

connectivity of ADS-B allows FAA the ability to utilize the accurate position information it provides to validate RVSM performance, thereby reducing the existing RVSM monitoring requirement.

Furthermore, ADS-B has the ability to route through satellites for worldwide tracking of aircraft, similar to continental capabilities that exist now, while not requiring the use of a high-end satcom.

ADS-B, as a requirement, will become the ADS-B of many uses. Operators thinking from a wider perspective will investigate versions of ADS-B that cater for growth in capability.

Operators wishing to fly in certain tracks require CPDLC in the form of Future Air Navigation (FANS) that incorporates Performance Based Navigation (PBN), Communication (Datacomm) and Surveillance (TCAS 7.1).

FANS as a specific requirement also relies on ADS-C (Contract), a Service Provider and an onboard data recording capability. Note how in the FANS requirement alone, there exist several of the connectivity elements.

• • • • •

first introduced Cyber security and accessibility limitations Lack of open architecture in aircraft systems User reluctance to embrace change Price, downtime and service provider fees Software compatibility.

Advancing connectivity has several roadblocks to face. Following are some of them:

Operators should broach these concerns when they discuss their connectivity requests with preferred maintenance providers. It is crucial in this world of rapid change, however, to keep one eye on the future and ask one other roadblock question that most sellers will avoid answering: What will this system do for me several years from now?

Alternatively, the question could be framed: “Show me everything that has been designed into this system that mitigates obsolescence”. Sellers of new equipment need to demonstrate its wider capability.

The equipment and integration provider is challenged to demonstrate how your connectivity solution addresses the range of different requirements, general and specific, the different elements of connectivity, the various means available and motivational areas.

When operators are considering connectivity there are several key factors to understand. However, the criteria differ if you are purchasing new, acquiring used or simply updating your own aircraft.

Following, we consider how… www.AVBUYER.com

New Aircraft: Aircraft OEMs have developed integrated suites of equipment for their aircraft and tend to favor certain equipment OEMs. For turbine and turboprop aircraft, the leading suppliers are Rockwell Collins, Honeywell, Garmin and Thales, followed by versatile niche providers such as Universal Avionics, IS&S, Avidyne and others.

Specifically, companies such as GoGo, ViaSat and the new SmartSky specialize in connectivity and satellite technology.

OEMs therefore are locked in with their suppliers. The procurement departments of the various aircraft OEMs tend to rule the roost, and it is hard to shift direction.

For operators there is limited choice, so look at all your options. As with buying a new home, it makes more sense to take the options up front, if the budget can stretch to cover them. It also means slow innovation because it takes an army to introduce any change, either to software or hardware.

Lastly there is the bundling factor to consider. The OEM will group improvements, changes and non-priority resolutions into single package releases (typically a Service Bulletin (SB) or a set of linked SBs). Unfortunately, linked SBs apply sequentially, such that one requires the implementation of the other, and the prerequisite SB may install, at a price, features you did not need or desire.

Acquiring Used Aircraft: A whole world opens with used aircraft, and every shop under the sun has a special solution available in the form of an FAA STC or Aircraft Index see Page 161

More competition brings down the price. However, prices are driven not just by competition in equipment costs, but also by reducing downtime, using novel solutions and what are known as Approved Model List STCs (AML-STCs).

You’ll find a master STC list at the FAA website – use the list as a supplementary tool and always consult with your preferred maintenance provider.

The aircraft transaction company or broker should have in-house expertise to advise. For example, Jetcraft Corporation employs sales engineers who, working with the pre-purchase MRO, provide guidance to the purchaser.

Because there are so many solution options for connectivity, think about aircraft resale, obsolescence and the actual features you will receive. Compare all bids to ensure the features offered are based on an ‘apples-to-apples’ comparison. Features need to be fully available to use upon aircraft delivery and not something that is planned to occur. Planned features are often late and not quite matching the promise Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

of the literature. Obviously once you have completed the transaction of the aircraft, the best time to make changes or upgrades is before you complete ‘entry into service’. Once you are fully operational, there are less downtime opportunities available to you and the budget is determined.

Your Existing Aircraft: In some ways, this is the ideal situation for connectivity upgrades. Owners who retain their aircraft for more than a few years tend to take great care in the selection of upgrade options. They are likely to have significant knowledge of the aircraft and what is available. While being savvy, they still are flight-operations focused. It is highly recommended to stay in touch with MRO subject matter experts.

Because they may have more time to make decisions, it is recommended to leverage a few pointers from the expert at the MRO and then complete due diligence by asking questions about features, obsolescence and impacts on resale.

If the flight department has multiple aircraft, consider the connectivity across the fleet and standardization for pilots.

Consider maintenance requirements, ease www.AVBUYER.com

of international operations, warranty and remote support.

In Summary

Connectivity provides a window for operators to maximize the potential capability of their aircraft, while reducing downtime and cost. It is the way of the future, especially so as more autonomous aerial platforms enter the national airspace. Indeed, the importance of a broad approach will be significantly magnified as we embrace see and avoid, remotely coordinated flight and streaming cloud-based technologies.

Meanwhile, as the world shrinks, aircraft fly to remote destinations more frequently and need to remain constantly connected. Their owners appreciate knowing the whereabouts and status of their aircraft while passengers want to be in an office that moves, functioning as if on the ground. They want to remain connected on any ramp, anywhere, and use their mobile devices connected through aircraft systems.

If on leisure, those in the cabin look for internet bandwidth and video streaming, essentially having that media room experience, again connected via personal devices. T October 2017 – AVBUYER MAGAZINE

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T CONNECTIVITY

Demystifying Aircraft Connectivity Five FAQs You Need Answers to Before Installing Internet Onboard Your Jet…

Aircraft connectivity vendors across the globe are bringing new solutions to market touting the fastest speeds, global connectivity, reliability – but with all of this ‘noise’ how do you know which is the right solution for you? ViaSat’s James Person offers some thoughts… here’s a natural expectation that internet access should be anywhere and having an ‘office-in-the-sky’ experience shouldn’t be a hard thing to accomplish; however, bringing connectivity to an airplane flying at 525 knots at 50,000 feet is no small feat.

Following are five questions requiring answers before installing an in-flight internet system on your business jet.

T

FAQ1: What types of connectivity solutions are available?

When talking about aircraft connectivity – it becomes an alphabet soup of connectivity acronyms. You’ll hear about Ka-band, Kuband, L-band and ATG (air-to-ground). But what does all this mean? These acronyms refer to the frequency used by in-flight internet systems – whether satellite-based (Ka-, Ku-, and L-band), or mobile wireless (i.e. ATG).

When comparing satellite versus mobile wireless you must know that satellite systems enable you to connect when traveling 58

globally as the internet signal from the aircraft communicates with satellites that sit thousands of miles above the earth’s atmosphere.

ATG communicates with cell towers and base stations that are land-locked. Thus if you need a global solution, an ATG solution is not for you.

Of the satellite systems, L-band is an older, constrained frequency band. While global, it was not built for delivering internet bytes, thus it provides a somewhat unreliable internet backbone that will barely allow passengers and crew the ability to send emails. The L-band system is also associated with high costs in which users pay by the megabyte.

Ku-band, meanwhile, was the first to offer high-speed connectivity to the business jet market. It was primarily used by broadcasters to feed TV programming (live sporting events and remote news stories globally), but has since been tapped by many satellite providers to provide connectivity to the business jet market.

For Large Cabin business jets looking for global connectivity, Ku-band is certainly an option, but residing in a lower frequency band the capacity is lower than Ka-band. It can still handle officein-the-sky applications, but at a lower speed. (Incidentally, Ku refers to a frequency band under K-band, and Ka refers to a frequency above K-band.)

When considering Ka-band systems, meanwhile, it’s important

James Person is Director of Global Business Development, Business Aviation and VVIP Markets for ViaSat. He has led the business development efforts in these segments, since joining the company in 2013.

ViaSat has been active in both segments for more than a decade, selling both Ku- and Ka-band service plans.

FAQ2: Can I expect a home-, or office-like, internet experience in my aircraft?

The average internet speed in today’s US household is 18.7Mbps, and the average home internet speed globally is 7.2Mbps (according to Fastmetrics). Contrasting those characteristics with today’s in-flight internet capabilities, business jet passengers and crew can expect internet speeds anywhere from 1.5Mbps to 16Mbps with today’s Ku- or Kaband internet systems. So the answer is yes – you can expect a home- or office-like internet experience.

Aircraft owners, guests, pilots and crew can all simultaneously use the internet the way they want with highquality internet services over land and water.

FAQ3: What does internet speed really do for me?

to note that not all Ka-band satellites are the same. ViaSat alone provides ViaSat-1 and ViaSat-2 offering 140 Gigabits per second (Gbps) and 300 Gbps of total network capacity respectively across more than 80% of the business jet air routes. Starting in 2020, the ViaSat-3 constellation will comprise of three 1,000 Gbps satellites offering worldwide coverage.

Be aware that some Ka-band satellite provider networks consist of 20 to 30 Gbps of total capacity, spreading a thin layer of capacity across the globe. Such capacity spreading has some merit and may meet the basic needs of some business jet customers seeking global coverage, but the service will ultimately be less reliable and some of today’s travelers may find insufficient capacity to serve their internet demands.

The key point is that prospective users need more than to simply identify a desired frequency band. They need to ask questions about speeds and capacity of the network used within that band.

In addition, you need to know what you’re buying and when.

No buyer wants to buy ‘old technology’ now, thinking it’s the latest and greatest only to discover something bigger, better and bolder hitting the market shortly after their purchase. Ask the network/shipset manufacturer about their next steps pertaining to a particular system or piece of equipment that will be installed on the aircraft.

Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Every user aboard the aircraft has a different need or use for connectivity service when in the air, and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) must be able to anticipate this. In today’s connected world, the ISP must be able to offer a consistent level of service across the airplane. They do this by providing enough capacity and speed to address the bandwidth needs of everyone onboard – all at the same time.

The ISP must be prepared to serve passengers in the cabin who want to VPN into their corporate network, watch live TV over the internet or simply browse the internet, all-the-while accommodating the pilot and crew who will need to tap into the same bandwidth, at the same time, to coordinate flight paths, check weather patterns or connect with maintenance crews on the ground.

Thus, the ISP should work with the customer to determine the type of connectivity, speed and pricing plan most desired, based on anticipated connectivity uses. For example, web browsing usage requires a connection maintaining a speed between 0.5Mbps and 5Mbps depending on the number of users onboard. Lower-end speeds, however, may frustrate the end-user to the point that they believe the internet is not even working.

Additionally, the ISP should demonstrate understanding of how many people are expected to be on the internet connection simultaneously and how they will be connected (VPN or otherwise), as these factors will affect the overall user experience.

Connecting to an email account via VPN requires more of the available internet connection on the airplane. To ensure a suitable experience, the ISP and customer should discuss this in advance. Another example is streaming video, which requires a connection providing at least 1.0Mbps for a standard-definition (SD) experience and up to 5Mbps for a high-definition (HD) experience.

The key to having a great internet experience onboard is having an ISP that can offer enough network capacity to satisfy the internet application expected when in-flight. Work with an ISP that can demonstrate they can meet current and forwardlooking network capacity needs to meet existing bandwidth expectations as well as tomorrow’s applications. 

FAQ4: Can I stream live television over my in-flight internet connection?

First, differentiate Live TV broadcast from streaming TV. Live TV broadcast is a feed of live events accessed via channels broadcasted over a capable direct broadcast satellite system.

Streaming TV is an ‘on demand’ access to available content via an application (e.g., Netflix, Hulu or Amazon). Both of these activities require a subscription service from a service provider.

Streaming live TV is possible with the proper scenario onboard the aircraft. First, your internet system must produce a minimum constant speed of 3Mbps to support streaming TV broadcast. While streaming may be possible at speeds under 3Mbps, the quality of the content being viewed would likely be sacrificed.

An AppleTV, Roku, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV Stick or similar device would be needed to access the TV channels. It should be noted that some newer aircraft routers come with these apps embedded – so no additional hardware would need to be purchased.

Many current and future internet systems will offer internet protocol television (IPTV). In some cases, IPTV will be able to access popular TV channels using your aircraft’s internet system without needing to use the purchased internet data plan to do so. This service (such as offered by ViaSat) is a separately purchased plan from the internet plan, and can mean significant in-flight internet cost savings for the end-user.

ViaSat’s Value Proposition

ViaSat supports thousands of global aircraft with in-flight internet, allowing passengers to do all of the normal office tasks they expect, plus stream media from Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon or any other streaming media service and even take advantage of the internet for advanced teleconferencing or voice over internet protocol (VoIP) calling.

ViaSat says its Ka-band internet service provides the fastest industry speeds and best-in-market pricing by offering more Ka-band capacity than any other in-flight 60

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

FAQ5: What can I do with a 30, 40, 60 or 100GB per month plan?

There is a lot of confusion about what can and cannot be done with today’s in-flight connectivity data plans. Understanding how much data it takes to use certain applications onboard will help shape your purchasing decision. Typically: • A 30GB per month plan enables users to send about 300,000 emails or stream 40 hours of SD video (480p) on a popular streaming application like Netflix; • A 40GB per month plan allows users to download 20,000 documents or stream 6,400 songs online; • A 60GB per month plan allows users to conduct HD video (1080p) conferencing calls for about 45 hours or watch 20 hours of HD video streaming; and • A 100GB per month plan enables users to send 1,000,000 emails or participate in a HD group video call with five people for about 48 hours.

The above are average-use cases, and potential buyers should meet with their ISP to discuss how they plan to use the internet onboard. They should discuss how many active users will be online and how often, what applications they will use, whether the internet usage will be for both the back and front of the plane, and what are the expected flight routes.

There is an internet service and plan for every user. Finding the right ISP to meet your data needs today and well into the future requires trust and an understanding of the ISP’s roadmap – as installing internet onboard is a costly endeavor. T

ViaSat’s system is built for tomorrow’s internet, empowering users to do more on board from everyday web browsing, sending emails and getting secure access to a corporate VPN to conducting multi-site video conferences plus stream music, movies, HD, IPTV and videos. The service is available during all phases of flight including taxi, takeoff and landing.

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T MANAGEMENT

Flight Department Expense Claims Sensitizing Staff to the Relative Costs of

Your Department

How can Flight Department Managers be effective in setting the rules for their department’s staff expenditures? Andre Fodor reflects… y first opportunity to manage flight operations occurred in Africa while working for the United Nations. Within that role, I was responsible for aviation activities in Kuwait and Iraq just after the Gulf War. The role was not without its challenges – this was a multi-national team with major cultural differences and many operational complexities.

One of the significant challenges concerned finance management. The UN flight operation employed pilots and technicians from nations where cash was the only acceptable form of payment. Furthermore, some required payment in their home nation’s currency.

Owing to the diverse cultural backgrounds within that flight operation, there were many expectations that required considerable attention to financial issues. Although few flight departments will be as culturally diverse as the UN’s, effective management of any department requires a firm grasp of the business’ economics.

Balancing Expense Reports

Balancing expense reports can prove an ongoing challenge to the Flight Department Manager. The quality of life of the team is very important, considering the lengthy periods of time that can be spent away from home and family. Thus, choosing quality hotels with good amenities, while remaining compliant with the company’s prescribed travel policies, can be a skill requiring careful honing.

One becomes sensitized to different types of accountability during one’s flying career. In one extreme case my expense reports would be returned, graded with a stamped happy (or sad) face depending on the analyst’s satisfaction with my expensing activities and tipping practices.

Seeking a different approach to expense reporting, in my department each person is responsible for preparing their own expense report and also approving it. The rationale is that if the employee is trusted to operate our aircraft and fly the company’s most senior executives, they can be equally trusted to manage their operational expenses.

Yet, to my surprise, this too is less simple than expected.

Responsible spending comes from people who are sensitive to the value of money. I’ve witnessed a flight crew member giving

With a focused approach on global excellence and creativity, Andre Fodor has managed flight operations for the U.N. and Flight Options as well as being a senior demonstration pilot and instructor for Embraer Aircraft. He is currently the Aviation Director Johnsonville Sausage.

away a company-provided voucher for a hotel meal to a complete stranger, only to pay for the same meal using the company’s credit card. Another crew-member believed it to be reasonable to reclaim the rental charge of a chaise lounge chair at a beach in France on his expenses.

In both cases, the team member displayed difficulty in distinguishing the difference between a business expense and a personal expense. Flight Department Managers need to be very clear about the difference if they are to extend trust to department employees over expense claims. A vital part of our job is to provide clear guidelines, and then audit a sample of the reports.

Occasionally, corrections will be required, and the team will need to be redirected toward compliance with company travel rules.

Altering Staff Perspectives

Crews might see a wealthy principal spend large sums of money, while simultaneously being exposed to the high costs associated with the running of an aircraft. If the crew is not able to understand the difference between the personal wealth of a principal and their own obligation to efficiently manage the flight department’s expenses, it will become a challenge to stay Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

balanced. An aviation mentor once observed how his pilots – who proved remarkably finance-savvy on their own expense – became different people on assignment, using the company credit card to dine on expensive steak dinners every evening.

His attempts to sensitize the crew failed, so he placed the crew on a per-diem allowance, allowing the crew to keep money not spent.

Maintenance and ground operations teams can play an important role in expense control, too. Having the right Director of Maintenance will enable a flight department to optimize expenditures and achieve great value. By utilizing in-house skills, used equipment can be purchased and then refurbished like-new.

In Summary

Being a steward of someone else’s money requires respect and sensitivity. We are expected to treat their funds as though they’re ours. As Flight Department Managers, we can set the rules for the department’s operations and the way money is spent.

Without the right people in your team, these guidelines can become an enforcement nightmare. In essence, choose your team wisely and provide high-quality coaching. It will pay off handsomely in the long-term. T

eight has long been identified as the enemy of flight. The entire aviation industry recognised this reality right from the start, which is why aircraft designers constantly hunt for lightweight materials and components and why pilots forever juggle the mass of fuel they carry against the range they wish to fly.

Within that context it seemed strange when pilots board their carefully weight-controlled airplanes carrying arm-stretching loads of charts, books and manuals. That’s a bit like a motorcycle racer drilling tiny holes in every titanium bolt on the bike to shed a few grams, before enjoying four slices of fried toast and extra sausages for his or her pre-race breakfast.

modern cockpits, is safety. Regulators rightly are keen to avoid an airplane being deprived of all navigation or problem-solving information by a blown fuse or a prematurely tired battery.

But with enough layers of redundancy and sufficient testing to satisfy the regulatory bodies, that risk can be made vanishingly small.

Pilot Support & EFBs

Dassault, with a global community of 2,100 aircraft currently in service in 92 countries, and up to 8,000 pilots rated to fly them, has put servicing that community of metal and flesh at the heart of its operation. “We are part of the history of the aircraft,” says Frédéric Leboeuf, vice-president of Falcon operational support, and uniquely placed to support the pilots.

That support includes pilot training, which is carried out by two providers – CAE and FlightSafety International. But the support has also been extended to a sophisticated electronic flight bag (EFB) solution that Dassault has been working on since 2004, with a first certified EFB in 2007.

Sphere II was designed from the start around Dassault’s core

philosophy to support both pilot documentation and the aircraft performance. All of the ‘value added’ software applications are centered around that philosophy.

In the third iteration, confusingly known as Falcon Sphere II and launched as an option in 2016, it is an astonishingly capable system that automatically updates data for charts, manuals and procedures, synchronises with all other users in the same operating organization, and is far easier to use in flight than paper. And of course, it gives each pilot as much as 40lbs less weight to carry on to every flight.

In its current form the Dassault EFB is a tablet that when clipped into its dock (one on either side of the primary and multifunction displays) in the cockpit is certified for all phases of flight. It runs on Microsoft Windows Professional and has a more open architecture than any Apple equivalent. More significantly, Sphere II presents all sorts of information about performance and navigation, weather and traffic (to name just a few), and integrates them seamlessly.

Thus a change to the fuel load will register immediately in an update to the range capability, or flag up a potentially Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

Combining information into a seamless whole is so key to Falcon Sphere that it is no surprise the former job of Benjamin Briand, Director of Operations Systems, was amalgamating not only navigation, communication and technical information on to one small screen in Dassault’s Rafale fighter jet, but also weapons, mission and surveillance information. “By comparison the four big fixed screens of the Falcon EASy cockpit are a luxury,” he says.

The integration goes further, he points out. “In the past we were focused on the flight,” he says. “Now we consider pre-flight and post-flight. The idea is to have an integrated solution so that the pilot does not need to repeat actions outside and inside the aircraft.”

Integration starts with the email or call to the pilot giving a time and destination for a flight: The pilot may start the planning using the tablet taken from the aircraft, though as a piece of expensive certified equipment removal of Sphere II may not be the wisest option. Alternatively, the pilot may use their own tablet, running Dassault’s software, for the planning phase.

The interface to the system, irrespective of how it’s accessed, is simple with an app structure familiar to any user of any phone or tablet. Apple’s IoS is not supported but will be soon, so that pilots will be able to use iPads and iPhones as well as windows devices for planning before they climb into the cockpit.

Incidentally, the Dassault team is not as sold on the use of iPads in the cockpit as many pilots appear to be – partly because they are not as bright as might be necessary at 41,000ft, partly because their behaviour in low pressure or high temperature is 

not as predictable as it might be, and partly because it is difficult to make sure that all iPads are running the software version that has passed the regulatory hurdles.

Whatever the tablet used for the planning phase, though, when the pilot reaches the aircraft the route, load and other data are easily uploaded to the dedicated EFB tablet - and thus to the rest of the aircraft’s avionics.

The latest version of Falcon Sphere was built in just two years, Briand proudly reveals, and is constantly being given new features. Other updates for 2017 include minimum turnaround times, performance on contaminated runways, and parametric tables that cater for a range of inputs – especially good for long legs where the conditions at the destination are too far in the future to predict precisely.

A new weather app also provides a huge amount of information in real time, and can provide projections for a particular time or period. Meanwhile operators can add their own apps. For example, some might want Google maps, which are then available to all their own pilots.

The aircraft performance figures are automatically filled-in depending on parameters that can be defined by the operator, such as when the aircraft’s auxiliary power unit (APU) is used all the time on the ground, for example. Operator-specific extra reserves of fuel can also be accommodated.

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

Minimal Workload

The idea is to minimize the work for pilots and thus the potential for errors. An attempt to plan a flight with impossible or unsafe parameters will throw up an error message, e.g., the system will notify if more fuel is needed.

“The goal is to make it all as automatic as possible,” says Briand, “but not to exclude the pilot from the loop. The philosophy is to make the pilot approve the data, even if the figures are pre-filled.”

A unique feature of Falcon Sphere II is that the system takes account of the specific aircraft, Briand adds. “Other apps do not do that – they’re generic. For weight and balance, for example, we use the exact aircraft.” And as the manufacturer of the aircraft, he adds, “we know the weight and balance – we know the performance, better than anyone else.”

Those weight calculations can now take into account the fact that the many levels of redundancy are cutting down the need for heavy manuals and multiple physical charts.

Which means Falcon Sphere II is already about as close to the paperless cockpit as possible. “But there’s much more functionality we will add,” concludes Briand. “For us it’s just the beginning.”

Risk Management in Flight Departments (Part 1)

Across recent issues Mario Pierobon has considered the foundations for safety identified by the NBAA as key elements for successful safety management in Flight Departments. Risk management is one such foundation… ince risk management is the core function of a Safety Management System (SMS), we will deal with this area over two articles.

First, we’ll consider what the practice of risk management is, and how risk assessment should be accomplished. Next time we’ll look at implementing what comes out of risk assessment sessions and how to continuously improve the risk management practice.

Safety risk management is a core business function whereby an organization that delivers a hazardous or potentially hazardous service (such as corporate transfer by air) identifies the operational safety issues, considers how well those issues are

being addressed and whether additional improvements are needed.

Risk management also includes implementing any additional improvements required that were identified as part of risk assessment, and monitoring their effectiveness. The overall aim is to ensure that the Flight Department operates safely.

There are multiple ways to perform risk management. Regardless of the actual risk assessment procedure your Flight Department decides to follow, there will be a set of best practices to be considered by your organization.

Know Your Process

A fundamental pre-requisite for a risk assessment to be comprehensive and accurate is that the Flight Department performing the assessment be familiar with the processes in detail since it is in the process that operational issues can lead to unsafe outcomes.

Thus it is important to have a detailed description of

It is important that at each step of the process the company identifies safety issues along with the potential to go wrong.

With regard to flight operations, for example, the expectation is that a typical mission be described in detail with all steps from flight planning onwards, along with identification of potential issues.

Social Atmosphere

Another important element defining a healthy risk assessment practice has to do with the atmosphere that develops among colleagues when safety risk assessment sessions are held.

Inevitably some people will know the business better than others. If the social atmosphere of risk assessment session is not properly calibrated, the risk is that only the voices of the stronger personalities will be heard, and only their perspectives accounted for. This inhibits potentially valuable perspectives from being formulated as well as potentially significant issues from being identified.

Furthermore, people that have been doing their role for a long time may have their views biased by their experience, whereas professionals who are relatively fresh may be more free-thinking.

To ensure that the most generative social atmosphere develops, the facilitator of the session must be able to ensure everyone’s perspectives can be communicated. Thus, the facilitator will have a balancing role to play. He or she must stimulate the less talkative members of the workforce to engage in the conversations about the potential outcomes of Advertising Enquiries see Page 4

the operational issues, and ensure safety discussions are not dominated by experienced operatives with strong personalities.

Avoiding Pre-Complied Checklists

One last feature revealing an effective risk assessment practice concerns avoiding the use of a pre-defined checklist of safety hazards. If the focus of risk assessment sessions is limited to issues that have been identified by someone else, there is a significant opportunity lost by the Flight Department to learn about potential weaknesses in safety management.

The point of doing risk management is to proactively manage risk, not to cross-check what the organization is doing in relation to issues identified by somebody else.

It’s true that pre-defined checklists can also be used to make sure that risk assessment sessions have exhaustively fulfilled their aim of identifying issues and targeting them, but the purpose of running risk assessment sessions is that they be rich and generative.

They should not be bureaucratic exercises. Hence checklists should only be used at the end of risk assessment sessions to avoid bias. T

FLIGHT DEPARTMENT T RETAIL PRICE GUIDE

Business Aircraft Values: Medium Jets 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.

F

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 upper-end 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 multiple locations and still get home at the Jet to cover 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

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

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.

Medium Cabin Jet Price Guide

The following Medium jets’ Average Retail Price Guide represents current values published in the Aircraft Bluebook– Price Digest. The study spans model years from 1998 through Fall 2017. Each reporting point represents the current average retail value published in the Aircraft Bluebook by its corresponding calendar year.

For example, the Cessna Citation X+ values reported in the Fall 2017 edition of the Bluebook show $15.5m for a 2015 model, $12.5m for a 2014 model and so forth. Aircraft are listed alphabetically. With the reader’s knowledge of aircraft, equipment, range and performance, the following Guide allows the reader to determine the best value aircraft for consideration.

Note: We have included 30 aircraft models in the following Large Cabin average price guide, and for additional assistance, Conklin & de Decker’s Performance and Specifications data for these models can be referred to, beginning on page 80 

T

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

This month’s category of aircraft - Medium Jets – appears opposite, to be followed by Entry-Level & Light Jets next month.

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

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

Tel: +44 (0) 208 255 4000; Email: editorial@avbuyer.com. © 2011 Conklin & de Decker Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 1142, Orleans, Massachusetts, 02653, Tel. 508-255-5975, www.conklindd.com

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

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

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

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

Height and width are the maximum within that

80

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

•

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ollowing, we’ll consider some key productivity parameters - payload/range, speed and cabin size - and cover current and future market values for the Gulfstream G450. The field in this study also includes the Dassault Falcon 900LX and the Bombardier Challenger 605/650.

Gulfstream G450 flight-testing started in April 2003, and FAA certification was completed in August 2004. The G450 went into production in 2004, replacing the G400. The aircraft continued the successes of the GIV and GIV-SP. A cross between the G400 and the G550, the G450 was designed using the G400 airframe and the G550 nose section. It utilizes a Honeywell Primus Epic PlaneView avionics suit and a pair of next generation Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines.

Scheduled to go out of production in early 2018, Gulfstream expects to deliver the last G450 business jet to coincide with initial deliveries of its new

Gulfstream G500.

There are 327 wholly-owned G450 business jets, six in shared ownership, and 17 in fractional ownership giving a total fleet of 350 aircraft in operation worldwide. The percentage ‘For Sale’ is 7.4% with 81% under an exclusive broker agreement. Average days on the market are 250 days, according to JETNET. By continent, North America has the largest G450 fleet percentage (59%), followed by Asia (27%) and Europe (10%) for a combined total of 96%. The largest fleet owner is NetJets in the United States with 14 G450 aircraft. Interestingly, 62% of the G450 fleet is still with the original owner and just 38% of the fleet are pre-owned.

Status of ADS-B Out Equipage

Of the 194 G450 business jets based in the US, 126 (65%) have ADS-B Out installed, leaving 35% of the fleet yet to comply. The FAA has mandated that all USAircraft Index see Page 161

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

We have mentioned in past articles that a potential operator should focus on payload capability as a key factor. The Gulfstream G450 ‘Available Payload with Maximum Fuel’ at 2,719 pounds is significantly greater than that offered by the Falcon 900LX (1,800 lbs) and Challenger 605 (1,298 lbs.), as represented in Table A (left).

Chart A (left) shows a cabin cross-section comparison with the G450 offering less width (7.33 ft.) than the Falcon 900LX (7.67 ft.) and the Challenger 605/650 (8.17 ft.). While the G450 and the Falcon 900LX offer the same 6.17 ft. height, the Challenger 605/650 offers slightly less (6.08 ft.).

Interior height is measured at the center of the cross-section.

However, two width dimensions can be used – one at the widest part of the cabin and the other at floor level. For our comparison, we use the measurement of the widest part of the cabin.

Cabin length can be measured in three ways, meanwhile. Each yields differing cabin volumes. For example, the Main Seating includes all passenger seats but not the lavatory areas. Due diligence by an owner/operator is required to understand comparative aircraft interior measurements. Table B (left) shows the G450 has the greatest interior cabin length of all the candidate aircraft.

The interior cabin length measurement that one selects from the table will determine the cabin volume in cubic feet for an aircraft. When comparing cabins, perhaps the most important is the measurement of personal space so that a relative value can be reported between candidate business jets.

As an example, the personal space per passenger calculated for the G450 is 414.5 cubic feet.

By comparison, the Falcon 900LX offers 317.5 cu. ft. and the Challenger 605/650 286.5 cu. ft., based on the gross cabin volume measurement using four seats in each aircraft.

Some OEMs provide optimistic measurements, thus prospective buyers are advised to measure the aircraft for themselves or consult with interior experts to provide a fair comparison.

Chart B - Range Comparison

Range Comparison

Chart B shows the ranges from Newark, New Jersey for the business jets in our field of study, as sourced from Chase & Associates. The Falcon 900LX shows more range coverage than either the G450 or the Challenger 605/650.

Note: The IFR range represents the distance of the aircraft at Long-Range Cruise with four passenger seats occupied. NBAA IFR fuel reserve calculation is for a 200nm alternate (100nm for turboprops). The lines depicted do not include winds aloft or any other weather-related obstacles.

Total Variable Cost Comparison

The ‘Total Variable Cost’, illustrated in Chart C (right), is defined as the cost of Fuel Expense, Maintenance Labor Expense, Scheduled Parts Expense and Miscellaneous Trip Expense. The total variable cost for the Gulfstream G450 at $3,607 is greater than the Falcon 900LX ($3,054) and the Challenger 605/650 ($2,660).

Aircraft that are used in a trade, business, or for the production of income that are primarily operated domestically and not used in common or contract carriage (i.e. Part 91) may be depreciated over a five-year Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) schedule. Aircraft used in common or contract carriage (Part 135) are depreciable under seven-year MACRS (see Table D).

Table E, meanwhile, depicts an example of using the MACRS schedule for a 2017 Gulfstream G450 in private (Part 91) and charter (Part 135) operations over five- and seven-year periods assuming a Vref retail value of $27m.

The current used aircraft market for the G450 business jet shows a total of 26 aircraft ‘For Sale’ with only four displaying an asking price ranging between $12m and $17.5m.

We also reviewed the used Challenger 605 market (19 ‘For Sale’ with 10 showing asking prices ranging from $8.1m to $17.5m). There were no asking prices displayed for the nine Falcon 900LX jets ‘For Sale’ and there are currently no Challenger 650 jets ‘For Sale’.

According to Vref, the average 10-yearold (2007 model) G450’s value has declined to 32% of its new value. A 2007 Challenger 605 is 31% of its new retail price.

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

Productivity Comparisons

The points in Chart D (right) center on the Gulfstream G450, Falcon 900LX and Bombardier Challenger 605/650 aircraft.

Pricing used in the vertical axis is as published in the Vref pricing guide. The productivity index requires further discussion in that the factors used can be somewhat arbitrary. Productivity can be defined (and it is here) as the multiple of three factors.

1. Four/Eight Passenger Range (nm) with available fuel; 2. The long-range cruise speed flown to achieve that range; 3. The gross cabin volume available for passengers and amenities.

The result is a very large number so for the purpose of charting, each result is

divided by one billion. The examples plotted are confined to the aircraft in this study. A computed curve fit on this plot would not be very tight, but when all business jets are considered the “r” squared factor would equal a number above 0.9.

Others may choose different parameters, but serious business jet buyers are usually impressed with price, range, speed and cabin size.

We can conclude that the Gulfstream G450, as shown in the productivity index is very productive. The G450 offers a highly competitive value to a prospective owner.

Overall, the greater range, speed and cabin capacity will weigh in favour of the G450 for many operators – although operating costs are proportionally higher for this aircraft.

Summary

Within the preceding paragraphs we have touched upon several of the key attributes that business jet operators value. However, there are often other qualities such as service and support that factor in a buying decision, but which are beyond the scope of this article.

The Gulfstream G450 business jet has its advantages at its price-point - so those operators in the market should find the preceding comparison of value. Our expectations are that the G450 will continue to do very well in the used market for the foreseeable future - but it’s worth keeping a watch for how the new aircraft market develops. The entire story of the large cabin market has been remarkable. T

n previous articles within this series on challenging market conditions, we examined different ways to take advantage of falling evaluations for business aircraft. While most pundits agree that sale prices are unlikely to recover dramatically in the near future, the current environment is favorable to buyers and may not continue; such is the cyclical nature of our community.

Even if conditions change, there will likely be more of a flattening of the downward trend versus any increase in market values. According to AMSTAT's mid-August Resale Market Update

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

www.AVBUYER.com

Report, business jet retail transactions were up 8.4% in H1 2017 versus H1 2016. AMSTAT stated that 10.7% of active business jets are ‘For Sale’, the lowest percentage since January 2008. The quantity of single-engine turbine helicopters ‘For Sale’ is also at post-recession lows. Turboprops and multiengine helicopters remain down or flat. With that encouraging news, you would think values would show some strengthening.

AMSTAT data indicate that asking prices are still dropping versus a year ago across all turbine market segments. Medium jet asking prices are down the most at 7.6%, while Heavy jets decreased 5.5% from a year ago. The Vref Q3 report echoes this trend of selling prices: Large/Heavy and Medium jet selling prices were down 5% versus Q4 2016. Vref describes jet prices declining at a slower rate than in the recent past, however.

It is safe to say that used jet values are still favoring the buyer.

No one believes the market has hit bottom, because we all have been working in this environment before. Experts are comfortable stating that now is still a good time to buy, however.

Why Now?

Now presents a buying opportunity if you wish to trade up either to a newer model or a larger model. As an example, we had a client with a 2007 Citation XLS that was considering a used larger jet, perhaps a Citation Sovereign or even a Falcon 2000LX. They were concerned about the lost value in the current XLS. Following are the particulars: • A 2012 Citation Sovereign today should sell for about $9.15m versus its price when new of $17.658m (a $8.5m decline).

• A 2012 Falcon 2000LX today should sell for about $18.28m versus its new price of $32.3m ($14m decline).

• A 2007 Citation XLS, which cost the owner about $11.271m new, should sell for about $5.6m, representing a loss of $6.671m. But the options ‘gained’ the seller more than they lost.

The client does not want to purchase new as they feel the initial decline in value is more than they want to absorb. But the values in recent-model business jets were very attractive. If the client focuses on a possible residual value decline of 5% to as much as 10% in the next year, they miss the fact that the price today is already a very good bargain.

For about $5m more than their current Citation XLS, they can get a 35% larger cabin and more than a 1,000nm increase in range. For less than $14m more they get a stand-up cabin, flat floor, more than double the cabin and more than double the range of their XLS. For their mission, the Sovereign size is a better fit, and the cost of the upgrade is more palatable for their CFO. But the other option has everything they need and want.

They have not decided yet.

102

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

A Word to the Wise…

Regardless of value, the acquired aircraft must be a fit for your mission. Just because you can buy bigger than you require, remember that with an increase in size come increases in complexity and costs.

Does the bigger aircraft with its higher operating costs add value? Can you replace the aircraft if it no longer performs its assigned mission or if the costs of the options are less than keeping your current aircraft? Take into account the cost of loss-of-use while your aging aircraft is in for more maintenance.

The above client can also acquire a new Citation XLS+ for less than either larger jet option. The aircraft must make sense and support your business needs.

Don't get caught in the Sunk-Cost Fallacy. Accept the loss in residual value in your current aircraft. You will not get it back. Looking ahead, what is the best use of your cash?

Look at all of the costs, particularly over the life of the acquisition. We must take into account the acquisition cost, the cost of operations and estimated future value. What are the pre- and post-tax considerations? Finally, what is the cost of capital or internal rate of return? Does it make sense to pay cash or should you look at financing or leasing?

Consider the Big Picture

If you are looking to upgrade in size, range or other capability, there are good values out there in the market.

Keep in mind that a high-quality, recent production model will still get more attention and perhaps have less room for price discounts. Keep that fact in mind when you sell your older aircraft.

Also, pedigree matters. Seek good advice and talk to brokers familiar with your current aircraft. Transaction specialists will be familiar with your candidate options. Now may indeed be the time when the stars align for a great buy. T

When searching for your next jet, you will be inundated with advertisements flagging up the ‘best deal’, ‘best value’ and ‘best equipped’ on the market, notes Jet Tolbert. How should you read between the lines of the advertisements, and what questions should you be asking? s a buyer, you need to articulate your priories, do your homework, and consult reliable and trusted sources before purchasing a business aircraft.

While you might feel sufficiently experienced to do all the due diligence yourself, there are many sophisticated dimensions to purchasing a business aircraft.

Also, there are resources available that are worthwhile. Thus it is logical as well as prudent to consider assistance. A reputable firm will

leverage its in-depth technical knowledge and industry contacts to provide analysis of all the available options, whether on the market or offmarket.

At the beginning of a search of jets ‘For Sale’, it’s easy to weed out many of the aircraft based on criteria such as year of manufacture, airframe/engine hours, maintenance history and more. Having done the initial sifting, you will be left with a shortlist of aircraft for more thorough consideration.

These “semi-finalists” may appear to meet your acquisition criteria… from a 30,000 foot view, at least – but that’s when it becomes important to drill-down and ask the right questions. You don’t want to waste time pursuing an aircraft that proves to be a dud – or worse, one that will incur higher than expected operating costs and cancelled flights.  Aircraft Index see Page 161

“Having a deeper understanding of the motivation behind a sale can help ensure that you don’t watch someone else take that prize deal and push you out of the market.”

Question 1: Why Are They Selling?

Research might reveal there is an event triggering the sale (i.e. the sale of a company or the acquisition of a replacement aircraft). It’s possible the advertising of the aircraft for sale is timed to precede this event. Has that event already passed? Is the seller just testing the market to see what happens?

A lot of options are evaporating from the marketplace these days. Being in the right place at the right time can make a difference. Having a deeper understanding of the motivation behind a sale can help ensure that you don’t watch someone else take that prize deal and push you out of the market.

If you can time your purchase with the specific needs of a seller(s), you are well placed to create some great opportunities from your shortlist of desirable aircraft.

Question 2: Where Has It Been Maintained?

Understanding the maintenance history of an aircraft reveals a lot about the asset’s value. Often advertisements showcase added options and highlight the comfort of the aircraft’s 106

interior, but you will need to consider the maintenance status report and also the history of maintenance and major inspections performed.

There are certain geographies in which preventative maintenance needs to be carried out regularly. Seeing how an aircraft has been cared for, with the oversight of a diligent maintenance manager, can make the difference between a decision to buy or pass on an aircraft.

Question 3: Who’s Your Counterparty to the Transaction?

Understanding who you are doing business with can affect a ‘go’ or ‘no go’ decision. There are advantages to buying from a company with a long aviation track record and identifying who will be able to provide the documentation you need.

Knowing the right questions to ask and finding the correct answers will go a long way in creating a successful transaction.

Bottom line: Ask the right questions, stay savvy, seek knowledgeable advice and be ready to move when you like what you hear. T

Points of Value Specific to Bizliners Having paused last month to consider Bizliner appraisal concepts, Jeremy Cox resumes his series spotlighting aircraft makes and models and their value points in today’s market, with a continued look at the Bizliners... efore we delve into the world of Bizliners, we’ll begin our discussion with airliners converted into business jets. From the 1970s right through to the present, it can be argued that virtually every make and model airliner has seen at least one Bizliner conversion within its fleet.

Many have subsequently been retired and scrapped due to more restrictive noise regulations, or because they are simply not economically viable to operate anymore. Airliners such as B707s, B720s, DC-8s, B727s, BAC 1-11s, DC-9s, Fokker 50s and 100s, as well as Airbus A300s, were all commonplace 25 years ago. Now they are very few-and-far between. Interestingly, no Concorde SSTs were converted into Bizliners.

Beginning in the late 1990s, however, Airbus and Boeing began to offer their airline aircraft for corporate use, and provided certain factory-installed features such as more fuel capacity for the versions they marketed to the Business Aviation community. That market has grown beyond the expectations of the original forecasters, and today incorporates the following wide variety of aircraft from Airbus and Boeing.

Interior Completions and Considerations

All of the Bizliner aircraft detailed here are delivered new, in a ‘Green’ condition, meaning that the exterior paint design and the interior are both bare.

As soon as delivery occurs, the aircraft goes to a Completion Center for outfitting. The cost of this work can range anywhere from $10m upward, with 

BOARDROOM T AIRCRAFT VALUE

Unfortunately, the full interior completion costs cannot be figured into the market value of a Bizliner, even after pro-rating the original outfitting based upon depreciation. This is because tastes and requirements vary greatly, and if a used-aircraft buyer decides to go back to a clean-slate design, by performing a whole new outfitting, the removed components will realize only their ‘scrap’ or salvage values.

Maintenance Insights

We’ll conclude our review of the Bizliner market with some closing observations about aircraft maintenance.

For example, the C-Check on an Airbus A380 that occurs every 18 months costs $475,000. The six-year inspection is $4.316m, and the landing gear overhaul (every 10 years) is $1.363m. The C-Check on a Boeing 737 (BBJ) that occurs every 20 months (or 4,000 hours) costs $325,000. The Heavy Check every eight years (or 28,000 hours) is $700k. The Landing Gear Overhaul every 12 years (or 18,000 cycles) is $350k.

Irrespective of whether the aircraft being considered for purchase is an A380 VVIP or a BBJ, those in the market for a used Bizliner ‘For Sale’ ought to carefully weigh a prospective aircraft and give consideration to when its next major inspection is due. T

some work-scopes exceeding $200m.

Bathtubs, showers, pianos, aquariums - even faux-flame, log burning fireplaces - are not uncommon. If a used, previously in-service aircraft is purchased instead of a factory new airplane, considerable cost savings are realized provided suitable arrangements can be made to convert the airline interior to a customized corporate arrangement.

Business Jet Charter Safety How Can You Be Sure of a Prospective Operator’s Safe Operations?

Mr. Králík joined ABS Jets in 2006 and is currently the Accountable Manager/Chief Operating Officer. He manages strategic leadership of the company and the development of its services worldwide. www.absjets.com

Safety is a basic consideration when selecting a charter operator for an upcoming business trip, notes Jan Králík, COO and Accountable Manager, ABS Jets. Clients should focus specifically on an organization’s Safety Management System (SMS) to help identify potential holes in the provider’s safe operations… ull implementation of an effective SMS requires time, effort, investment, and in some cases a complete change in attitude towards safety matters that affect a charter operator. A key area to explore is the charter provider’s internal data collection or reporting system.

Is its staff encouraged to report safety issues as they arise? Such reporting improves the company’s overall operating procedures. More so, is the company acting upon those reports adequately?

F

AVBUYER MAGAZINE – October 2017

As an example, ABS Jets’ fleet of aircraft land and depart from approximately 300 different airports annually, including some infrequently. It would be impossible to monitor all of these locations without crew feedback on a number of factors, including the quality of services and safety issues that may arise at each location.

The result of that feedback enables ABS Jets to develop preferences with regard to ground handling at several otherwise problematic locations, and make advanced arrangements to ensure adequate service will be available upon arrival. The net result is enhanced safety of the overall operation.

Safety & Flight Planning

Another question to ask a prospective operator revolves around its Operations Control Center.

preparation, while final preparation (routings, filing of flight plans and documentation) are also significant.

Although computer technology and dedicated software have helped remove many of the mistakes commonly associated with manually prepared flight plans and charts, the quality of the documentation is still only as good as the staff inputting the data. Human error remains a real threat to safety, and multi-tasking is a common enemy. The charter operator should be proactive in the way it fights that challenge.

Is the charter operator thorough in its assessment of operating hours, airport limitations and availability of required services on the trip? Is sufficient consideration given to the security of the operation? For example, is the flight passing into, or through areas of political instability or epidemic disease and if so, what special measures will be taken?

With regard to flight planning, is the latest meteorological information and NOTAMS available and utilized? Is the operator selecting routes to optimize fuel burn and comfort?

Performed properly, these areas of trip preparation can remove many potentially dangerous or difficult scenarios.

Internal Communication

Communication between an operator’s departments is very important. For example, is the aircraft selected for the mission really suitable for the trip? A small error in predicting the wind strength might render fuel reserves problematic in a Medium

jet (for example) where a Large Cabin jet would allow more margin for error.

Interaction between flight crew and dispatchers is essential to eliminate potential errors.

Potential risks need to be communicated, and an acceptable standard of safety agreed universally within the organization.

Thus, while software may be an essential part of the planning process, face-to-face interaction between crew and dispatchers is what makes our industry safe.

Handling Pressure Safely...

Dispatchers in Business Aviation are often operating under pressure to be quick in their decision-making, while simultaneously being committed to making as few errors as possible. The best way to achieve such effectiveness is to be proactive. A prospective charter operator should anticipate complications and be ready to deal with them if they arise.

Best practices should be documented and followed by all the operator’s flight, maintenance and service staff. Standard procedures and uncompromised quality control save time and prevent mishaps.

Regardless of the operator you select for your upcoming charter trip, a demonstrable commitment to continuous improvement should be a must.

BOMBARDIER GLOBAL 8000

Bombardier Business Aircraft

Falcon 5X twinjet rapidly through its certification program. With a shorter range than the smaller, in-service Falcon 7X tri-jet, the Falcon 5X boasts both a larger fuselage diameter and increased cabin volume than the Falcon 7X. This 3,400nm twin jet still faces a lengthy flight-test program, and first deliveries are currently expected in 2020.

The Falcon 8X continues Dassault's line of tri-jets, this one derived from the 7X, but with a longer range of 6,450nm. The range gain comes courtesy of optimizing the engine output, with further help from refined aerodynamics – including new, lower-drag winglets – and a larger fuel capacity. Dassault gained that increased fuel capacity through changes to the internal wing structure that both lightens the wing while increasing internal space for fuel. Dassault also stretched the cabin by 3.5 feet compared to the 7X. Meanwhile, don't be surprised to see another new Falcon twinjet launched this year – perhaps a Falcon 9X, building on the 5X fuselage cross-section.

The flight test fleet is busy accumulating hours at the company's Flight Test Center in Wichita, putting the delayed Global 7000 back on track as one of the most capable and expensive private jets in Business Aviation when it comes to market at approximately $72.8m.

With a top cruise speed of Mach 0.925, the Global 7000 will challenge Gulfstream's speedy G650. Its range will be approximately 7,400nm. With a fuselage of 111 feet in length, the Global 7000 will also lay claim to the title of largest purpose-built business jet yet.

Bombardier remains confident of certification and entry into service during the second half of 2018. Meanwhile, the equallyquick, longer-legged (7,900nm) Global 8000 is on track for service entry next year.

One Aviation

The ‘little plane that couldn't’ continues to reach for market success after predecessor ownership failed to close the loop on making the Eclipse 500 an air-taxi mainstay. The original Very Light Jet remains a viable option for low-cost entry into business jet ownership, and the newest variant, the Eclipse 700, promises to deliver on improvements suggested by owners of the existing Eclipse 500 and 550 jets.

With its first test flight on September 1, an Eclipse 500 fitted with the larger Eclipse 700 wing demonstrated the speed, climb and handling benefits One Aviation sought in enlarging both the wing span (by 2 feet) and wing-root areas – in order to increase fuel capacity. Future test beds will introduce the new Garmin G3000 avionics package into the development effort, while other test beds will tackle the new Williams FJ33 powerplants and a 14-inch stretch to the fuselage.

Ultimately, One Aviation's goal for the Eclipse 700 is a notably improved jet capable of climbing directly to 43,000 feet, cruising at 373 knots, boasting the ability to better operate from more hot and high airports, while extending the NBAA range to about 1,500nm.

Meanwhile, evolved over more than a decade out of the Farnborough F1 single-engine turboprop, One Aviation’s Kestrel 350 is a highly refined version crafted of carbon-fiber composites and powered by a single turboprop engine.

Development continues, though it appears to command a lower priority than the Eclipse jet.

Cruise speed is targeted in the 320 knot bracket, range upward of 1,300nm, carrying a pilot, four passengers and luggage. Certification efforts are underway while the company raised more funds to capitalize development.

Pilatus Aircraft

The PC-24 SVJ (Super Versatile Jet) is Pilatus' first business jet and entered its flight-test phase with a different approach than most other business jets, taking its basic characteristics from the highly successful PC-12 propjet rather than more typical business jets. Those attributes include the large aft cargo door, rough-field landing gear and runway performance suitable for STOL operations.

With a range approaching 2,000nm – comparable to its competition – the PC-24's runway performance beats all comers, while the gear itself sports a design tailored to short, rough, unimproved runways. Operators won't have much longer to wait. At the time of writing, the first PC-24s were due for delivery before the close of 2017.

Debuted in July at EAA AirVenture 2017, the revised Stratos 714 sported many revisions since its initial proof-of-concept appearance a few years earlier. CEO Michael Lemaire has described the Stratos 714 as a multi-mission VLJ designed to serve air-taxi operations, corporate and personal owners, and offer excellent operating economies (thanks to its single jet engine, glass cockpit, sidestick controllers and excellent useful load).

Top the tanks and load four people for legs as long as 1,600nm while cruising at 400 knots, or stop short of full fuel and the 714 will offer the ability to fly up to 1,200nm carrying six.

The Ed Swearingen-designed, highly swept wing, lends itself to high altitude, high-speed and low fuel-consumption cruising; leading edge slats and flaps bring back low-speed capabilities that keep it a FAR 23 airplane.

That’s because the Citation Hemisphere is coming down the developmental pipeline, a 4,500nm jet and a strong seller thanks to the pent-up demand for a long-range Citation model.

But patience is in order for anyone anxious to embrace the Hemisphere. First flight isn't expected until 2019.

Meanwhile, Cessna’s first pressurized propjet single, the Cessna Denali is projected to deliver a cruise range of 1,600nm with four passengers at speeds up to 285 knots at altitudes up to Flight Level 310. The Denali sports a massive 53x59-inch rear cargo door that exceeds, slightly, the door on its main competition target, the Pilatus PC-12, and a digital pressurization system that maintains a 6,130 foot cabin to 31,000 feet. The Denali cabin measures the same height as the PC-12, with an extra three inches of width but two inches less length.

Cessna engineers designed the Denali with a flat-floor cabin measuring 16 feet, 9 inches long, equal to Cessna’s longrunning, slower and unpressurized Grand Caravan EX turboprop utility single. Other cabin dimensions match up closely – 58 inches high by 63 inches wide for the Denali, 54 inches high and 64 inches wide for the Grand Caravan.

Compared to Textron's King Air 250, the Denali cabin gains an inch in height, nine inches in width, and an inch in length.

Textron anticipates first flight of the $4.8m propjet in 2018 and first deliveries in the latter part of 2019/early 2020.

If these options don't fit your needs or excite your flying juices, well, check back in a year. Several will be certificated and entering service – and other, as yet unknown jets and props will be starting their journey from computer-aided drawing boards to in-test prototypes and headed toward their ultimate destinations – a ramp near you.

BOMBARDIER 7000

604XT Launch Customer Announced …Avionics Certification Program Ahead of Schedule

Nextant Aerospace has announced the launch customer for the Pro Line Fusion upgrade to the Challenger 604, which is expected to be certified by fall of 2018...

T

exan billionaire Toby Neugebauer selected the standard avionics configuration (which will address pending regulatory requirements such as ADS-B Out and TCAS 7.1), and becomes the launch customer for the 604XT program.

“The Challenger 604 is the perfect aircraft for my mission requirements,” said Neugebauer. “With the introduction of the 604XT upgrade, Nextant has solved the pending regulatory and obsolescence issues that were facing much of the original cockpit technology.”

Meanwhile, Nextant also confirmed that the 604XT avionics certification program is running ahead of schedule, with first flight scheduled imminently and FAA and EASA certification in June 2018. More details about what cabin, aerodynamic and/or engine upgrades would be part of a more 124

comprehensive 604XT program, were expected to be revealed by Nextant at this month’s NBAA Convention.

When Nextant announced the program in May, company executive vice president Jay Heublein said that, beyond the need for avionics upgrades, the in-service fleet of 360 Challenger 604s will be due for heavy structural inspection schedules in the coming years. This combination of a large in-service fleet, avionics obsolescence and nearing heavy inspections made the twinjet an excellent candidate for remanufacturing, he noted.

Nextant also confirmed that the certification program is running ahead of schedule with first flight scheduled for this month and final certification for both FAA and EASA still on track for June 2018.

Bombardier is proceeding with the testing program for its Global 7000 business jet, despite an “in-flight flameout” during testing back in August. The company say that the new aircraft’s “flight and ground test campaigns continue on track for entryinto-service in the second half of 2018”.

“Bombardier and GE have determined that the root cause of [the] reported occurrence was an isolated event,” the company stated.

Meanwhile, Bombardier has delivered its first Learjet 75 aircraft to a Brazilian customer. The aircraft joins Bombardier's business jet fleet of 685 Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft in Latin America. www.businessaircraft.bombardier.com

G600

One Aviation Flies EA700 First Flight of the Aerodynamic Proof-of-Concept, EA700 Wing

Experimental test aircraft N990NE has been modified by One Aviation to test the new wing shape being used for the EA700 model currently in development.

T

he aircraft used to test-fly the new wing shape of the EA700 retained the EA500 fuselage, engines and stabilizers, but had its wing modified to match the length and shape expected of the EA700 wing.

Changes to the wing included the overall four foot increase in wingspan, reshaping of the inboard wing airfoils and planform. The expected shape of the production EA700 wingtips had not been included in this modification, however.

“This is a key milestone in the path to making a very good airplane a great airplane”, enthused Alan Klapmeier. “The

One Aviation team has worked hard to achieve this key milestone...”

The flight lasted approximately 1.5 hours, and handling qualities were evaluated during transitions between all configurations. Maneuvering and basic aircraft flying qualities were evaluated at altitudes up to 15,000ft. The airplane performed flawlessly and all test condition results were as expected.

"The aircraft felt very solid,” said Jerry Chambers, Chief Test Pilot and PIC for the flight, “a testament to the efforts of the engineering and build teams”.

Gulfstream’s final scheduled G600 for the flight-test program has flown for the first time. Outfitted with a complete interior, the aircraft serves as a cabin test bed to ensure a superior customer experience. The aircraft is the fifth to join the G600 flight-test program since it began on December 17, 2016.

Indeed, Gulfstream continues to report progress on both its two new large-cabin twinjet programs. Through August 20, the five flight-test G500s have flown more than 3,460 hours over some 905 flights. According to Gulfstream, the G500 recently completed certification testing for flyover noise, cabin systems, brakes and lighting, while company testing of the fuel system is finished.

In other Gulfstream news, the worldwide fleet of G280 aircraft recently eclipsed 100,000 flight hours, a milestone achieved less than five years after the first model entered service. Since entering service in November 2012, the G280 has been able to continuously improve its dispatch reliability. Through July 2017, the fleet of more than 115 aircraft had achieved a dispatch reliability rate of 99.90 percent.

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

Evolving from the remarkable success of the 7X; The Falcon 8X has a longer cabin with 30 unique interior layout configurations to choose from, superb fuel efficiency and a range of 6,450 nm.
