Buying and selling business aircraft can pose significant challenges and pitfalls for the unwary.  This interactive panel of experts will walk those buying or selling, or responsible for buying or selling, business aircraft through six critical steps to make it a seamless process.  These six steps provide practical tools to build a business aircraft acquisition/disposition team capable of finding the right deal in a difficult market; navigating the potential legal and tax pitfalls; financing the aircraft purchase; placing the aircraft in-house or under the right aircraft and charter management; and managing risk.

The six steps include:
  1. Identifying/marketing the target aircraft;
  2. Building the right acquisition/disposition team;
  3. Preparing and getting buy-in on a contractual road map;
  4. Securing acceptable financing;
  5. Managing risk; and
  6. Finding a good home for the aircraft.

Many of the problems encountered by flight crews and aircraft dispatchers have very little to do with the technical aspects of flight operations. Instead, most are associated with poor group decision-making, ineffective communication, inadequate leadership, and poor task or resource management. Historically, aircraft dispatcher training programs have focused almost exclusively on the "how to" aspects of dispatching and on an individual dispatcher's performance; these programs did not effectively address resource management issues fundamental to safe flight. Human factors awareness should be an everyday part of a Dispatcher's workplace environment and culture. More importantly, the resourcefulness displayed while making critical decisions is an opportunity the Scheduler/Dispatcher must take advantage of.

    Many of the problems encountered by flight crews and aircraft dispatchers have very little to do with the technical aspects of flight operations. Instead, most are associated with poor group decision-making, ineffective communication, inadequate leadership, and poor task or resource management. Historically, aircraft dispatcher training programs have focused almost exclusively on the "how to" aspects of dispatching and on an individual dispatcher's performance; these programs did not effectively address resource management issues fundamental to safe flight. Human factors awareness should be an everyday part of a Dispatcher's workplace environment and culture. More importantly, the resourcefulness displayed while making critical decisions is an opportunity the Scheduler/Dispatcher must take advantage of.

    Deciding which light aircraft is best suited to meet your business needs is much like preparing to fly an airplane. Before take off, you have to decide on your mission, make certain you have airworthy equipment and follow your checklist to assure a trouble-free flight. That's equally true when it comes to picking the right light aircraft. You need to define the mission and purpose for your aircraft. You need to assemble a first-rate professional support team to help you identify and acquire the ideal airplane, including an aviation lawyer, broker, accountant, lender, aircraft inspector and aircraft operator. And, you need to complete an acquisition and closing checklist to guarantee a smooth transaction. This Session addresses these topics, including such practical issues as how to locate the perfect aircraft and properly structure the aircraft ownership and management for an efficient and legal operation.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the H1N1 pandemic (aka "swine flu") as a worldwide epidemic of a disease. According to the WHO website, H1N1 has been classified as being of moderate severity. "Moderate" indicates the pandemic's global impact, not the impact country-by-country. As such, it should be emphasized that countries may be affected differently – different levels of impact, different timing of outbreaks, different impacts on the economies and health systems. It is important that countries should calibrate their response based on the likely impact in their country. 

    Companies that utilize or support Business Aircraft must also prepare their response should they be impacted by H1N1.  The reasons are obvious as aircraft provide confined meeting spaces for a duration of time; FBO’s allow a venue for many people to arrive, interact, and depart through their facilities both airside and curbside; and global economies allow for international travel to areas where the H1N1 impact may vary in severity.

    Pilots require two certificates from the FAA to fly: a pilot certificate and a medical certificate. The criteria for maintaining the pilot certificate are well defined. In contrast, the FAA does not publish specific criteria for maintaining one's medical certificate. Significant FAA medical policy decisions are made frequently and enforced strictly, but are usually unknown to pilots and even to aviation medical examiners. Ignorance of these unannounced changes may cause pilots to lose medical certificates for months or may even unnecessarily jeopardize a career. This presentation addresses recent FAA medical policy and standards changes (both favorable and unfavorable), look at pending changes and discuss strategies to avoid FAA enforcement actions for medical reporting infractions. Subject areas include cardiac health, vision, hearing, cancer, depression, alcohol related incidents, medications and more. The ultimate goal of this presentation is to keep pilots healthy, safe and flying.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the H1N1 pandemic (aka "swine flu") as a worldwide epidemic of a disease. According to the WHO website, H1N1 has been classified as being of moderate severity. "Moderate" indicates the pandemic's global impact, not the impact country-by-country. As such, it should be emphasized that countries may be affected differently – different levels of impact, different timing of outbreaks, different impacts on the economies and health systems. It is important that countries should calibrate their response based on the likely impact in their country. 

    Companies that utilize or support Business Aircraft must also prepare their response should they be impacted by H1N1.  The reasons are obvious as aircraft provide confined meeting spaces for a duration of time; FBO’s allow a venue for many people to arrive, interact, and depart through their facilities both airside and curbside; and global economies allow for international travel to areas where the H1N1 impact may vary in severity.
