Green shoots point to slow recovery.
By Fred George
fred_george@aviationweek.com

ast year witnessed one of the most


precipitous declines in new general
aviation aircraft deliveries in the
history of the industry, according
to GA MA. There were only 2,276 unit
deliveries, a drop of more than 42 percent
compared to 2008. Billings slumped
to $19.5 billion, a decline of more than
one-fifth from the year earlier.
Deliveries of piston-engine aircraft were
hit especially hard, suffering a decline of
more than 54 percent, according to GAMA.
Manufacturers delivered one-third fewer
business jets, marking the first time that
sector failed to achieve growth in five years.
However, turboprop deliveries only sagged
by 17.6 percent, reflecting the utility and
efficiency of those aircraft.
But general aviation is accustomed to
riding out storms. Most piston-engine
manufacturers took strong, albeit painful,
measures to stem losses. Bucking that
trend, Cirrus Design actually boosted
production to six aircraft per week in the
second quarter of last year, a bold move
that backfired when demand collapsed.

90 Business & Commercial Aviation May 2010

The firm became stuck with an onerous


load of unsold inventory and later had to
reign in its production rates.
Some models went into hibernation,
such as Mooneys Ovation and Acclaim
production lines, awaiting better times.
Cessna consolidated production of its
piston-engine aircraft at its Independence,
Kan., facility, shuttering its Bend, Ore.,
plant that had built its high-performance
Corvalis composite single. Prices on most
piston-engine singles have risen only about
1 percent to 3 percent from 2009.
There are several signs, however, of
a nascent recovery. Piper, fueled with a
fresh infusion of capital from Brunei-based
I mpr i mu s , m ade pl a n s t o r a mp up
production to meet international demand.
This year, the four-seat Piper Arrow is
making a comeback in the Handbook. The
updated model is available with either an
Avidyne Integra or a Garmin G500 glass
cockpit, as are most other piston-engine
aircraft in the Handbook with the exception
of some Vulcanair models.
Vulcanair also is making news in the
Handbook by introducing a retractable
landing gear version of the Partenavia
P68C. Updated performance numbers for
the new VR model werent available in time

to be included, but well provide our readers


with a future update at our Aviation Week
Intelligence Network Web site.
The $1.7 million single-engine turboprop
Quest Kodiak 100 is making its debut in the
2010 Handbook. This versatile bush plane
primarily was designed for missionary
work, having all-metal construction,
rugged landing gear, a healthy powerto-weight ratio and low purchase price.
But its not a bare-bones workhorse. The
instrument panel features Garmin G1000
avionics and Quest plans to achieve Flight
Into Known Icing approval in the near
future.
Pilatus delivered a record 100 PC-12 NG
single-engine turboprops in 2009. Fitted
with a more powerful Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6A-67P engine, the aircraft
cruises as fast as 280 KTAS. It features
Honey well Primus Apex avionics and
updated systems, including a split bus electrical system. With all that going for it,
Pilatus is increasing the 2010 price by 9
percent to $4.375 million.
The Hawker Beechcraft Corp. (HBC)
K ing A ir C90GTx also is mak ing its
debut in the Handbook. HBC engineers
fitted it with winglets for improved climb
performance allowing MTOW to be
www.AviationWeek.com/bca

increased by 385 pounds. Its certified to


an MTOW of 10,485 pounds, providing
a 737-pound tanks full payload. In light
of this improved performance, HBC also
fitted it with a $400,000-plus price increase
compared with the C90GTi.
The Cirrus Design Vision and Diamond
D-Jet si ngle-eng i ne jet development
programs have stalled because of severely
restricted f unding. Neither aircraft is
appearing in this years Handbook, so the
Cessna Citation Mustang becomes the sole
VLJ in the listings. But there seems to be
enough demand for single-engine personal
jets that Piper is proceeding apace with
development of its PiperJet, which is slated
to enter service in mid-2013.
T he t u rbofa n sec t ion rema i n s t he
largest group in the Handbook. This year
the Hawker Beechcraft Premier II makes
its f irst appearance. Compared to the
Premier I, it has considerably better runway
performance, can carry an extra passenger
with its tanks full and flies higher, faster
and farther.
The Embraer Legacy 650 also makes its
debut in this years Handbook. Fitted with
more powerful Rolls-Royce engines and
carrying 2,500 pounds more fuel than the
Legacy 600, the new model will be able
to fly eight passengers 3,800 nm, putting
it solidly in the transatlantic jet class. It
features Honey well Primus Elite f latpanel LCD avionics, and it should be able
to operate equal length missions but from
shorter runways than the Legacy 600.
G u l f s t r e a ms G250 a nd G 650 a r e
appearing for the first time in this Handbook
issue. The $24 million super-midsize G250
evolved from the G200 and features a new
Mach 0.80 wing inspired by the G550
airfoil, t w in Honey well HTF 7250G
t urbofans and Gulfstreams signat ure
PlaneView cockpit. It will be able to f ly
five passengers 3,400 nm while cruising at
Mach 0.80 and then land with NBAA IFR
reserves.
The G650, Gulfstreams new flagship,
creates a new standard for ultra-long-range
aircraft. Now in flight testing, it has the
largest cabin of any purpose-built business
aircraft yet introduced and is expected to
be able to transport nine passengers 7,000
nm while cruising at Mach 0.85. Firsts for
a Gulfstream aircraft, the G650 features
f ly-by-wire f light controls, Rolls-Royce
BR725 turbofans and a trimmable horizontal stabilizer.
When comparing aircraft in this years
Handbook, note the Remarks section
below each l ist i ng for a ny per t i nent
information, such as important options
or standardized, manufacturer-provided
performance data since they can impact

costs and mission parameters.


Meanwhile, general aviation manufacturers expect slow recovery in 2010 from
the recent deep recession. But inventories
of used aircraft are decreasing, helping
new aircraft appeal. Financial inst itutions seem to be moving toward easing
restrictions on loans for aircraft buyers.
New aircraft orders are on the increase
and some predict single-engine piston

aircraft sales to lead the way to clearer


skies.
By the end of 2010, the business aircraft
industry may be on its way to recovery.
But the consensus is t hat barring
something unforeseen and terrible it
will still be 2011 or well beyond before
aircraft manufacturers experience enough
demand to boost production rates to levels
they enjoyed five to 10 years earlier. BCA

Characteristics
Seating Capacity Crew + Typical Executive Seating/Maximum Seating.
For example, 2+8/19 indicates that
the aircraft requires two pilots, there are
eight seats in the typical executive configuration and the aircraft is certificated
for up to 19 passenger seats.
A four-place single-engine aircraft is
shown as 1+3/3, indicating that one pilot is required and there are three other
seats available for passengers. We require two pilots for all turbofan airplanes,
except the Cessna Mustang, CJ1+ and
CJ2+; Embraer Phenom 100 and 300;
Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA; and the
Emivert Aerospace SJ30-2, which have,
or will have, a large percentage of singlepilot operators.
Four crewmembers are specified for ultra-long-range aircraft three pilots and
one flight attendant.
Each occupant of a turbine-powered airplane is assumed to weigh 200 pounds,
thus allowing for stowed luggage and carry-on items. In the case of piston-engine
airplanes, we assume each occupant
weighs 170 pounds. There is no luggage
allowance for piston-engine airplanes.

Power Loading MTOW divided by total
rated horsepower or total rated thrust.
FAR Part 36 Certificated Noise Levels Flyover noise in A-weighted decibels (dBA) for
small and turboprop aircraft. For turbofanpowered aircraft, we provide EPNdB (effective perceived noise levels) for takeoff,
sideline and approach.

Dimensions
External Length, Height and Span dimensions
are provided for use in determining hangar
and/or tiedown space requirements.
Internal Length, Height and Width are
based on a completed interior, including
insulation, upholstery, carpet, carpet padding and fixtures.
As shown in the Cabin Length illustration, for airplanes other than cabin-class
models, the length is measured from the
forward bulkhead ahead of the rudder pedals to the back of the rearmost passenger
seat in its normal, upright position.
For cabin-class aircraft, we show the
overall length of the passenger cabin,
measured from the aft side of the forward
cabin divider to the aft-most bulkhead of
the cabin. The aft-most point is defined by
the rear side of a baggage compartment
that is accessible to passengers in flight
or by the aft pressure bulkhead.
The overall length is reduced by the
length of any permanent mounted system or structure that is installed in the
fuselage ahead of the aft bulkhead. For
example, some aircraft have full fuselage
cross-section fuel tanks mounted ahead
of the aft pressure bulkhead.
The second length number is the net
length of the cabin that may be occupied
by passengers. Its measured from the
aft side of the forward cabin divider to an
aft point defined by the rear of the cabin
floor capable of supporting passenger
seats, the rear wall of an aft galley or
lavatory, an auxiliary pressure bulkhead
or the front wall of the pressurized baggage compartment. Some aircraft have
the same net and overall interior length
because the manufacturer offers at least
one interior configuration with the aftmost passenger seat located next to
the front wall of the aft luggage compartment.
Interior height is measured at the center
of the cross section. It may be based on an
aisle that is dropped several inches below
the main cabin floor that supports the passenger seats. Some aircraft have dropped
aisles of varying depths, resulting in less
available interior height in certain sections
of the cabin.
Two width dimensions are shown for
multiengine turbine airplanes one at
the widest part of the cabin and the other
at floor level. The dimensions, however,
www.AviationWeek.com/bca

are not completely indicative of the usable space in a specific aircraft because
of individual variances in interior furnishings.

Output Takeoff rated horsepower for
propeller-driven aircraft or pounds thrust
for turbofan aircraft. If an engine is flat
rated, enabling it to produce takeoff rated
output at a higher than ISA (standard day)
ambient temperature, the flat rating limit
is shown as ISA+XXC. Highly flat-rated
engines, i.e., engines that can produce
takeoff rated thrust at a much higher than
standard ambient temperature, typically
provide substantially improved high-density altitude and high-altitude cruise performance.
Inspection Interval is the longest, scheduled hourly major maintenance interval for
the engine, either t for TBO or c for
compressor zone inspection. OC is shown
only for engines that have on condition
repair or replace parts maintenance.

Weights (lb)
Weight categories are listed as appropriate to each class of aircraft.
Max Ramp Maximum ramp weight for
taxi.

Max Takeoff Max takeoff weight as determined by structural limits.


Max Landing Max landing weight as
determined by structural limits.
Zero Fuel Maximum zero fuel weight,
shown by c indicating the certificated
MZFW or b, a BCA-computed weight
based on MTOW minus the weight of fuel
required to fly 1.5 hours at high-speed
cruise.
Max ramp, max takeoff and max landing weights may be the same for light aircraft that may only have a certificated max
takeoff weight.
EOW/BOW Empty operating weight is
shown for piston-powered airplanes. Basic operating weight, which essentially is
EOW plus required flight crew, is shown for
turbine-powered airplanes. EOW is based
on the factory standard weight, plus items
specified in the BCA Required Equipment
List, less fuel and oil. BOW, in contrast, is
based on the average EOW weight of the
last 10 commercial deliveries, plus 200
pounds for each required crewmember.
We require four crewmembers three
flight crew and one cabin attendant for
ultra-long-range aircraft.
There is no requirement to add in the
weight of cabin stores, but some manufacturers choose to include galley stores
and passenger supplies as part of the
BOW buildup. Life vests, life rafts and appropriate deep-water survival equipment
are included in the weight buildup of the
80,000-pound-plus, ultra-long-range aircraft.
Max Payload Zero fuel weight minus
EOW or BOW, as appropriate. For pistonengine airplanes, max payload frequently
is a computed value because it is based
on the BCA (b) computed maximum
ZFW.

that 80,000-pound-plus ultra-long-range


aircraft will have eight passengers on
board.
The V2 and Vref speeds are useful
for reference when comparing the TOFL
and LD numbers because they provide an indication of potential mini-mumlength runway performance when low RCR
or runway gradient is a factor.
BCA lists two additional numbers for
large turboprop- and turbofan-powered
airplanes. First, we publish the Mission
Weight, which is the lower of:
(1) The actual takeoff weight with
four passengers (eight passengers
for ULR aircraft) and full fuel when de-parting from a 5,000-foot/25C airport.
(2) The maximum allowable takeoff
weight based when departing with the
same passenger load and at the same
density altitude.
For two-engine aircraft, the mission
weight, when departing from a 5,000foot, ISA+20C airport, may be less than
the MTOW because of Part 25 secondsegment, OEI climb performance requirements. Aircraft with highly flat-rated engines are less likely to have a mission
weight that is performance limited when
departing from hot-and-high airports.
For three- or four-engine aircraft, the
mission weight usually is based on
full tanks and the actual number of passengers, rather than being performance
limited.
Second, we publish the NBAA IFR Range
for the hot-and-high departure mission
weight, assuming a transition into standard
day, ISA flight conditions after takeoff. For
purposes of computing NBAA IFR range,
the aircraft is flown at the long-range cruise
speed shown in the Cruise block or at
the same speed as shown in the Range
block.

Climb
The all-engine time to climb provides an
indication of overall climb performance,
especially if the aircraft has an all-engine
service ceiling well above our sample topof-climb altitudes.
We provide the all-engine time to climb
to one of three specific altitudes, based
on type of aircraft departing at MTOW
from a sea-level, standard-day airport:
(1) FL 100 (10,000 feet) for normally
aspirated single-engine and multiengine
piston aircraft, plus pressurized singleengine piston aircraft and un-pressurized
turboprop aircraft.
(2) FL 250 for pressurized single-engine
and multiengine turboprops.
(3) FL 370 for turbofan-powered aircraft. The data are published as time
to climb in minutes/climb altitude.
For example, if a non-pressurized
www.AviationWeek.com/bca

Bombardier Challenger 605

twin-engine piston aircraft can depart


from a sea-level airport at MTOW and
climb to 10,000 feet in eight minutes, the time to climb is expressed as
8/FL 100.
We also publish the initial all-engine
climb feet-per-nautical-mile gradient, plus
initial engine-out climb rate and gradient,
for single-engine and multiengine pistons
and turboprops with MTOWs of 12,500
pounds or less.
The OEI climb rate for multiengine aircraft at MTOW is derived from the Airplane
Flight Manual. OEI climb rate and gradient is based on landing gear retracted
and wing flaps in the takeoff configuration
used to compute the published takeoff
distance.
The climb gradient for such airplanes
is obtained by dividing the product of
the climb rate (fpm) in the Airplane Flight
Manual times 60 by the Vy or Vyse climb
speed, as appropriate.
The OEI climb gradients we show for
Part 23 Commuter Category and Part 25
Transport Category aircraft are the secondsegment net climb performance numbers
published in the AFMs. Please note:
The AFM net second-segment climb
performance numbers are adjusted downward by 0.8 percent to compensate for
variations in pilot technique and ambient
conditions.
The OEI climb gradient is computed at
the same flap configuration used to calculate the takeoff field length.

Ceilings (ft)
Maximum Certificated Altitude Maximum
allowable operating altitude determined
by airworthiness authorities.
All-Engine Service Ceiling Maximum altitude at which at least a 100-fpm rate of
climb can be attained, assuming the air-

craft departed a sea-level, standard-day


airport at MTOW and climbed directly to
altitude.
OEI (engine-out) Service Ceiling Maximum altitude at which a 50-fpm rate of
climb can be attained, assuming the aircraft departed a sea-level, standard-day
airport at MTOW and climbed directly to
altitude.
Sea-Level Cabin Maximum cruise altitude at which a 14.7-psia, sea-level cabin
altitude can be maintained in a pressurized airplane.

Cruise
Cruise performance is computed using
EOW with four occupants or BOW with
four passengers and one-half fuel load.
Ultra-long-range aircraft carry eight passengers for purposes of computing cruise
performance. Assume 170 pounds for
each occupant of a piston-engine airplane
and 200 pounds for each occupant of a

NOTICE TO READERS
During recent years, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission
has conducted investigations into the practice of certain
industries in fixing and advertising list prices. It is the
position of the FTC that it is deceptive to the public and
against the law for list prices of any product to be specified or advertised in a trade area if the majority of sales
are made at less than those prices.
BCA is not in a position to know the prices for most
of the sales in each trading area in the United States for
each of the products in this issue. Therefore, the prices
shown in the tables and text in the Purchase Planning
Handbook are based on suggested list prices furnished
to us by the manufacturers or distributors, or on prices
estimated by the editors. It may be possible to purchase
some items in your trading area at prices less than those
reported in this issue of BCA. Also, almost all manufacturers and distributors caution that prices are subject to
change without notice.

BCA imposes a 12,000-foot maximum cabin altitude requirement on
CAR3/ FAR Part 23 normally aspirated
aircraft. Turbocharged airplanes are
limited to FL 250, providing they are fitted
with supplemental oxygen systems having
sufficient capacity for all occupants for
the duration of the mission.
Pressurized CAR 3/FAR Part 23
aircraft are limited to a maximum cabin
altitude of 10,000 feet. For Part 23
Commuter Category and Part 25 aircraft, the maximum cabin altitude
for computing cruise performance is
8,000 feet.
To conserve space, we use flight levels (FL) for all cruise altitudes, which
is appropriate considering that we
assume standard day ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Cruise
performance is subject to BCAs verification.

Ranges

BCA shows various paper missions for


each aircraft that illustrate range vs. payload tradeoffs, runway and cruise perfor-

mance, plus fuel efficiency. Similar to


the cruise profile calculations, BCA limits
the maximum altitude to 12,000 feet for
normally aspirated, non-pressurized CAR
3/FAR Part 23 aircraft, 25,000 feet for
turbocharged airplanes with supplemental oxygen, 10,000 feet cabin altitude for
pressurized CAR 3/FAR Part 23 airplanes
and 8,000 feet cabin altitude for Part 23
Commuter Category or Part 25 aircraft.
Seats-Full Range (single-engine piston airplanes) Based on typical executive
configuration with all seats filled with
170-pound occupants, with maximum
available fuel less 45-minute IFR fuel reserves. We use the lower of seats full or
maximum payload.
Tanks-Full Range (single-engine piston airplanes) Based on one 170-pound pilot,
full fuel less 45-minute IFR fuel reserves.
Executive Payload (multiengine piston airplanes and single-engine turboprops) Based
on typical executive configuration with all
seats filled with 170-pound occupants,
maximum available fuel less 45-minute
IFR fuel reserves. We use the lower of
seats full or maximum payload.
Max Fuel With Available Payload (singleengine turboprops) Based on BOW, plus
full fuel and the maximum available payload up to maximum ramp weight. Range
is based on arriving at destination with
NBAA IFR fuel reserves, but only a 100mile alternate is required.
Ferry (multiengine piston airplanes and
single-engine turboprops) Based on one
170-pound pilot, maximum fuel less
45-minute IFR fuel reserves.
Please note: None of the missions for
piston-engine aircraft include fuel for diverting to an alternate. However, singleengine turboprops are required to have
NBAA IFR fuel reserves, but only a 100mile alternate is required.
NBAA IFR range format cruise profiles,
having a 200-mile alternate, are used
for Part 25 Transport Category turbine-

powered aircraft. In the case of Part 23


turboprops, including those certificated in
the Commuter Category, and Part 23 turbofan aircraft, only a 100-mile alternate
is needed. The difference in alternate requirements should be kept in mind when
comparing range performance of various
classes of aircraft.
Max Payload With Available Fuel (multiengine turbine airplanes) Based on aircraft
loaded to maximum zero fuel weight with
maximum available fuel up to maximum
ramp weight, less NBAA IFR fuel reserves
at destination.
Max Fuel With Available Payload (multiengine turbine airplanes) Based on BOW
plus full fuel and maximum available payload up to maximum ramp weight. Range
based on NBAA IFR reserves at destination.
Full/Max Fuel With Four Passengers (multiengine turbine airplanes) Based on BOW
plus four 200-pound passengers and the
lesser of full fuel or maximum available
fuel up to maximum ramp weight. Ultralong-range aircraft must have eight passengers on board.
Ferry (multiengine turbine airplanes)
Based on BOW, required crew and full
fuel, arriving at destination with NBAA IFR
fuel reserves.
We allow 2,000-foot increment step
climbs above the initial cruise altitude to
improve specific range performance. The
altitude shown in the range section is the
highest cruise altitude for the trip not
the initial cruise or mid-mission altitude.
The range profiles are in Nautical Miles,
and the Average Speed is computed by
dividing that distance by the total flight
time or weight-off-wheels time en route.
The Fuel Used or Trip Fuel includes the fuel
consumed for start, taxi, takeoff, cruise,
descent and landing approach, but not
after-landing taxi or reserves.
The Specific Range is obtained by dividing
the distance flown by the total fuel burn.
The altitude is the highest cruise altitude
achieved on the specific mission profile
shown.

Missions

paper missions are computed


to illustrate the runway requirements,
speeds, fuel burns and specific range,
plus cruise altitudes. The mission ranges
are chosen to be representative for the
airplane category.
All fixed-distance missions are flown
with four passengers on board, except
for ultra-long-range airplanes, which have
eight passengers on board. The pilot is
counted as a passenger on board pistonengine airplanes. If an airplane cannot
complete a specific fixed distance mission
with the appropriate payload, BCA shows
a reduction of payload in the remarks secwww.AviationWeek.com/bca

tion or marks the fields NP (Not Possible)


at our option.
Runway performance is obtained
from the Approved Airplane Flight
Manual. Takeoff distance is listed
for single-engine airplanes; accelerate/stop distance is listed for pistontwins and light turboprops; and take-off
field length, which often corresponds to
balanced field length, is used for Part 23
Commuter Category and Part 25 large
Transport Category airplanes.
Flight Time (takeoff to touchdown, or
weight-off-wheels, time) is shown for turbine airplanes. Some piston-engine manufacturers also include taxi time, resulting
in a chock-to-chock, block time measurement. Fuel Used, though, is the actual block
fuel burn for each type of aircraft, but it
does not include fuel reserves. The cruise
Altitude shown is that which is specified
by the manufacturer for fixed-distance
missions.
200 nm Piston-engine airplanes.
500 nm Piston-engine airplanes.
300 nm Turbine-engine airplanes, except ultra-long-range.

except ultra-long-range.

Remarks

In this section, BCA generally includes the


base price, if it is available or applicable;
the certification basis and year; and any
notes about estimations, limitations or
qualifications regarding specifications,
performance or price.
All prices are in 2010 dollars, FOB
at a U.S. delivery point, unless otherwise noted. The certification basis includes the regulation under which the
airplane originally was type certificated,
the year in which it originally was certificated and, if applicable, subsequent
years during which the airplane was
re-certificated.
All
data
preliminary
indicates
that actual aircraft weight, dimension and performance numbers may
vary con-siderably after the model is
certifi-cated and delivery of completed
aircraft begins. These aircraft are listed in
italics.

General
The following abbreviations are used
throughout the tables: NA means not
available; indicates the information
is not applicable; and NP signifies that

Used Airplanes
By Robert A. Searles
bcaflightwatch@sbcglobal.net

oming off one of the worst years


ever, it would be difficult not to
predict that 2010 would be a better
year than 2009 for the previously
owned, turbine-powered business aircraft
market.
In a sector desperate for a turnaround,
the end of last year offered glimmers of
hope. Opportunistic buyers entered the
market, cash in hand, to scoop up aircraft
whose values had plummeted since the
market meltdown of late 2008. Relatively
new, ultra-long-range airplanes were
among the most popular targets of these
buyers, many of whom were from overseas
and had enhanced buying power because of
the weakness of the U.S. dollar.
As spring began, however, the used
aircraft market had been flat for several
months, with some pundits wondering if
the majority of cash buyers had already
found their bargains. Nevertheless, most
experts were confident that the worst was
over and that the sector was regaining its
equilibrium.
Tob y J. Sm it h , v ic e pre s ide nt of
Hou ston-based a i rc raf t broker JBA
Aviation, noted, It feels as if the turbine
aircraft resale marketplace has progressed
into a more normal state, as opposed to
the extreme conditions of the previous 18
months. After dismal sales from the fall of
2008 to the summer of 2009, the fourth
quarter of 2009 was extremely active,
which carried over to a busy January and
February for most of us.

www.AviationWeek.com/bca

Things seem to have let up a bit from


the frenetic pace of those five months,
continued Smith, but there are still a good
number of real buyers making offers and
looking for the best deals. While a lot of
the deals negotiated at the end of 2009
were driven by motivated sellers and buyers
attempting to capitalize on current pricing,
the buyers I am talking to now are more
driven by the need for lift, which is what a
lot of us have been hoping for.
M ichael D. OKeef fe, sen ior v ice
president of Banyan A ir Ser vice, has
witnessed an uptick in business during
the first quarter. During the last 45 days,
things have started to happen; activity is
picking up. Business at our FBO and maintenance division is up; people are flying
more. In fact, Banyan officials feel that the
market is stable enough now that they have
started buying aircraft for inventory.
Rick Engles, president of Washington,
D.C.-based Vance & Engles A ircraft
Brokers, says the return of inventorying
bu yer s t o t he m a rk et i s t he mo s t
encouraging factor. During the last 12
months they have not even wanted to come
to the plate, but now they are.
Significant challenges remain, however.
A lthough the inventor y of previously
owned airplanes has peaked, thousands of
used business jets and turboprops remain
on the market. And manufacturers still
have a substantial number of white tails.
Also, lending terms remain tight, and
financing for the oldest business aircraft is
simply not available. The large number of
newer airplanes for sale, the high operating
costs of older models and the lack of available
financing may combine to spell the end for

some venerable types. As Rene Cardona, an


aircraft sales representative with Lincoln,
Neb.-headquartered Duncan Aviation, said,
I dont know if the values of those [older]
aircraft are going to come back.
Several experts also fear that a spike
in interest rates could derail the fragile
recovery. Engles said, If the Fed [Federal
Reserve] increases interest rates, it will
force some people to sell their airplanes.
They wont be able to keep them in the
back of the hangar and just pay the carrying
costs [until values rise].
In addition, Cardona suggested that
major issues on the federal governments
agenda might be inhibiting sales, as some
prospective U.S. buyers take a wait-and-see
attitude.
There is still a lot of money and buyers
on the sidelines, added OKeeffe, who
believes that some of them would buy an
airplane if they could get financing.
Nonetheless, many industry veterans
remain optimistic about the future.
A lot of us who make our living buying
and selling aircraft are finally taking a
deep breath, said Smith. Even though
activity has let up a bit, I think most of us
are confident that this pause is driven by
the cyclical nature of our business, and
that activity will percolate again very soon.
I think most of us are expecting 2010 to be
a year of getting back to normal.
Engles declared, We arent going to see
any bounce back in aircraft prices, but we
are seeing activity in the marketplace.
The industry has experienced many
dow nt u r n s s i nc e t he e a rl y 19 8 0 s ,
concluded Cardona, and weve always
come back even stronger. BCA

A Long Climb Back


The helicopter industry looks toward a
new decade and the resumption of growth.
By George C. Larson
george_larson@aviationweek.com

as that us (or at least most of


the helicopter community) at
last years Heli-Expo saying
the industry seemed immune
to the global economic downturn? Well,
anybody can make a mistake, including
top management, when it tries to forecast
during volatile periods. Its a good thing
military and government operators hung in
there with few orders canceled or extended,
and the offshore operators, buoyed by a
surge in exploration, were the only strong
civil segment. Just as they did with their
fixed-wing fleet, corporate operators parked
their assets and put the company helicopter
up for sale. Unemployment among pilots,
especially in the Northeastern United
States, soared, their ranks cut by half.
But the effects of global recession were
not the whole story. The FAAs Air Traffic
Organization switched on a network of
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance
Broadcast) equipment mounted on oil
platforms throughout the Gulf of Mexico,
and helicopters throughout the area began
automatically transmitting their GPS
position to controllers at displays that
look just like radar scopes. In a stroke, the
helicopter community became the first to
exploit the opportunities inherent in this
new technology in a vast operational arena
measuring 600,000 square miles, of which
about half has active drilling. Operations in

www.AviationWeek.com/bca

the Gulf instantly became safer and more


efficient, and there is virtually no difference
between air traffic management over that
body of water, which spans about 1,000 miles
at its widest point, and with the heritage
radar system that covers the mainland.
The industry continued to battle in
the political arena with the issue of noise
sensitivity looming largest. At long last,
the helicopter manufacturing industry
is responding w it h new tech nolog y.
Eurocopter is developing advances in Blue
Edge, a main rotor blade with a newly
shaped tip resembling a terns wing (as well
as Westlands BERP tip treatment), and
Blue Pulse, which is comprised of small
trailing edge surfaces that respond instantly
to vortex disturbances from the preceding
blade to reduce noise. Sikorsky has described
a quiet mode that will be introduced with its
new S-76D, now in flight test.
Accidents cont inued to plag ue t he
industry, especially the emergency medical
services segment. EMS came in for special
scrutiny by the NTSB, which determined
on the basis of a special hearing that the
economics of EMS as it is practiced in the
real world must be part of any comprehensive safety management initiative. To
perhaps over-simplify, a two-crew IFR
twin-engine craft competes head to head
with a single-pilot, single-engine VFR
operator. The safer aircraft is bidding
against the cheaper one. The tourism
industry also had a spate of accidents. One
high-visibility midair collision in New York
harbor drew universal media attention.

Cooler heads prevailed on the political


front (thanks, Mayor Michael Bloomberg)
and stakeholders sat down with the FAA to
draw up a completely new structure for the
low-altitude airspace over the water.
At the same time, low-altitude route
structure is being quietly introduced
where there was none before. In New
England, IFR approaches to hospitals can
be performed by precision area navigation
from an en route airway to a transitional
procedure and finally to an approach to a
point in space from which a landing can be
made at a helipad. With the proliferation
of ADS-B, its deployment now accelerating
throughout the nation, low-altitude operations in areas with mountains and low visibility will be performed without the degree
of risk aircrews face today. Individual
experts like Stephen Hickok, along with
the HAI and the FAA, are expediting the
process and replacing seat-of-the-pants
intuition with wide-area GPS precision.
Trainers heard t he market call for
lower cost simulation and mission-based
scenarios. A crew that will be flying an
S-92 or EH101 to an oil platform doesnt
get much benefit from flying approaches
into Teterboro. A merican Eurocopter
opened its simulation bay in Grand Prairie,
to the relief of every Eurocopter pilot
who trained on a hot Texas summer day.
CAE introduced an affordable simulator
with advanced, realistic scenarios tied to
missions their customers actually fly. Its
motion platform is optional, so trainers can
pass the savings along to clients. BCA

comparison purposes only. In most cases,


the price is provided by the manufacturer;
exceptions are so noted.
For competitive and other reasons, some
manufacturers are reluctant to provide precise
pricing information. In those cases, BCA
estimates a price. This year all prices are BCA
estimates except for Robinson. It also should
be noted that prices are regularly adjusted
without notification.

This is the current price of the aircraft with the


equipment stipulated in the BCA Helicopter
Minimum Equipment List, and is shown for

BCA lists up to three configurations: Standard,

usable oil and unusable fuel. Useful load is the
difference between the Max Takeoff weight
and the EOW.
Where applicable, we also show the FAR
Part 29 Category A (CAT A) weight limit for
helicopters with a maximum takeoff weight of
6,000 or more pounds. The CAT A limit is the
weight at which the helicopter can sustain a
150-fpm climb with one engine inoperative and
the remaining engine(s) operating at takeoff
power. CAT A is calculated with the helicopter
flying at its best-rate-of-climb speed and at

least 1,000 feet msl. (Some manufacturers


also opt to provide a CAT A figure for Part 27
aircraft.)
Standard and Auxiliary Fuel capacity (where
applicable) are shown in pounds. In calculating
fuel capacity, six pounds per gallon is used for
avgas, while jet fuel is calculated at 6.7 pounds
per gallon.
Payload: Max Standard Fuel is calculated
by subtracting the full fuel load from the Useful
load described above.
Payload: 100 nm refers to the max payload
for a 100-nm flight at high-speed cruise.

*FADEC

Range and Cruise


Two range figures are listed for each helicopter. The first is the Tanks-Full range, which
assumes full standard fuel and the minimum
crew required to complete the mission.
The Seats - Full range is the distance
the aircraft can fly with crew and executive
seats occupied, plus allowable fuel up to the
maximum takeoff weight or maximum standard
fuel capacity, whichever is less.
The charts also include Fuel Flow figures
for two cruise conditions at maximum takeoff
weight and 3,000 feet msl. The first set of

Speeds/Limits

Climb

Speeds are given in TAS, assuming ISA


conditions unless otherwise noted. Speeds
are for aircraft operating at maximum takeoff

The first speed is Vne , or never-exceed
speed. The second is the Maximum Speed

For single-engine aircraft, two climb figures are


included in the charts: Rate and Gradient.
The Rate figure in feet per minute is for a
climb from sea level to 3,000 feet at maximum
takeoff weight.
The Gradient figure is the number of feet
gained per nautical mile flown when climbing

HIGE is the maximum altitude in feet above


msl at which the helicopter (at max weight)
can hover with the landing gear at a distance
above the ground no greater than the main
rotor diameter.
Hover out of ground effect (HOGE) is the

hover with maximum continuous power.


The Service ceiling is the maximum altitude
at which a 100-fpm climb can be maintained
using max continuous power in standard
conditions. An OEI ceiling is listed for multiengine helicopters. OEI ceiling is the maximum
altitude at which the helicopter can maintain a
50-fpm climb with one engine inoperative and
the remaining engine(s) operating at the OEI
power rating.

IFR Certification
The IFR Certification is the certification basis
for an aircraft that is IFR certified or for which
122 Business & Commercial Aviation May 2010

IFR certification is pending.


The figure indicates the number of pilots
required for IFR operations.

Productivity
Productivity figures are based on formulas
employing numbers listed elsewhere in the
charts. Two of the formulas consider capacity
and speed, and two consider capacity, speed
and fuel flow.
The Seat Mile/Hour calculation is the
aircrafts high-speed cruise multiplied by the
number of crew and passenger seats in the
executive configuration. The Seat Mile/Pound

calculation is the Seat Mile/Hour value divided


by fuel flow in pounds at high-speed cruise.
The Ton Mile/Hour calculation is based on
the Payload: Max Std. Fuel value. First, the
payload capacity is converted to tons, and then
it is multiplied by the high-speed cruise value.
The Ton Mile/Pound calculation is the Ton
Mile/Hour figure divided by fuel flow in pounds
at high-speed cruise.

NOTICE TO READERS
During recent years, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has conducted investigations into the practice of certain industries in fixing and advertising list prices. It is the position of the FTC that it is deceptive to the public and against the law for list prices of any
product to be specified or advertised in a trade area if the majority of sales are made at less than those prices. Business & Commercial Aviation is not in a position to know the prices for most of the sales in each trading area in the United States for each of
the products in this issue. Therefore, the prices shown in the tables and text in the 2010 Purchase Planning Handbook are based
on suggested list prices furnished to us by the manufacturers or distributors, or on prices estimated by the editors. It may be possible to purchase some items in your trading area at prices lower than those reported in this issue of BCA. Also, almost all manufacturers and distributors caution that prices are subject to change without notice.

re you an Innie or an Outie? If


youre not sure, a key component
o f t h e FA As N e x t G e n A i r
Transportation System plan to
modernize the National Airspace System
ADS-B will require you to decide.
The FAAs final NextGen implementation
rules, which will establish performance
requ irements for av ionics needed to
operate in an ADS-B environment, are
expected about now, but another wrinkle is
gumming up the timetable.
As we went to press, the U.S. Senate and
House were still wrangling over the final
text of the FAA Reauthorization Act. The
problem? In an unusually proactive technology push, the Senate version mandates
operators equip for ADS-B (OUT) capability by 2015, and ADS-B (IN) by 2018.
However, many industry observers believe
the mandate will be reconciled to the
Houses more lenient version of OUT
compliance to 2020 and only recommending IN compliance. Meanwhile,
the White House Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), among others, was
rumored to be scrutinizing technicalities
in the document as well.
Regardless, ADS-B will be mandatory
in European airspace starting in 2015
five years earlier than in the United States
under the European Commissions
Su r vei l la nce Per for ma nce a nd
Interoperability Implementing Rule. The
final EU rule is expected later this year.
Weve noted that some OEMs are touting
the ADS-B compatibility of some of their
wares. Well keep you posted on this topic
as developments occur.

expected to mandate those operators equip
with safety-enhancing technology such as
ADS-B, TAWS and Night Vision Imaging
Systems (NVIS), flight recorders and associated flight operations quality assurance
programs. The legislation, which has widespread support, is expected to emerge for a
floor vote sometime this year. At any rate,

the need for advanced situational awareness


Avidyne, Garmin and Max-Viz have
introduced new helicopter-friendly capabilities for some of their products.
Other noteworthy developments over the
last year include (in alphabetical order):

ACSS
Aviation Communications & Surveillance
Systems (ACSS), the joint venture between
L-3 Communications and Thales, became
t he f irst OEM to cert if y Change 7.1
software for its TCAS 2000 and TCAS II
systems, which are installed in thousands
of aircraft. Change 7.1 to TCAS TSO
C19c amends the logic to permit the system
to reverse a previously issued Resolution
Advisory (RA) after an initial RA. The
change also replaces the complex and easily
misunderstand, Adjust Vertical Speed,
Adjust (AVSA) aural R A with a clear,
unambiguous Level Off command.
ACSS TCAS 2000 is standard on many
business jets, including those from Cessna,
Embraer, Bomba rd ier, Gu lf st rea m,
Hawker Beechcraft and Dassault Falcon.
Stephen Burn, ACSS marketing manager
for su r veilla nce product s, told BC A
eBulletin that the change stems from the
July 1, 2002, collision of a Tupolev airliner
and a DHL Boeing 757 cargo flight over
Switzerland. Both aircraft were equipped
with TCAS and the Tupolev had issued
a Climb R A , but t he Russian crew
followed a contrary ATC directive. The
Russian holiday charter flight
had 57 passengers, mostly
children, and 12 crew on
board. The DHL flight had
two pilots aboard. Change
7.1 allows the TCAS to issue
a new command, reversing a
previous RA if either or both
aircraft persist in a maneuver

Kollsman EVS II offers pilots advanced
situational awareness by creating a video
image of the environment during the most
critical phases of flight taxi, takeoff,
approach and landing. EVS equipment
returns the pilot to virtual VFR conditions
in darkness, fog, rain, snow, haze, dust or
pollution. A n Enhanced Flight Vision
System (EFVS) projects the conformal
image of the surrounding environment on
a head-up display and provides significant
operational benefits.
Under EASA rules, EFVS-equipped
aircraft can now begin the approach even
if the actual visibility is one-third less than
what is required for that approach. In the
United States, aircraft can descend to 100
feet if the runway environment is visible
through the HUD.

Garmin

A new Helicopter TAWS is available for


Garmin 430W/530W series navigators as
an option on newly purchased systems or
as a field upgrade for current owners. The
HTAWS features forward-looking terrain
avoidance (FLTA) capability and provides
graphical and audible alerts of potential
terrain and obstacle conflicts along the
flight path. It incorporates a new five-color
terrain scale, and also gives terrain voice
alerts when descending below 500 feet.
Voice callouts operate in all HTAWS
modes, and Garmins technology allows the
pilot to select multiple callouts, in 100-foot
intervals, descending from 500 to 100 feet

cleared ILS CAT II-certified operators
f lying aircraft equipped with Rockwell
Collins Heads-Up Guidance Systems to fly
CAT I ILS approaches down to a 150-foot
decision height and with a 1,400-foot RVR,
versus the usual CAT ILS minimums of
200-foot DH and 1,800-foot RVR.

UASC
Prompted by growing demand for its
W i d e A r e a A u g m e nt a t i o n Sy s t e m
( WA A S)-capable f light management
systems, Universal Avionics collaborated
with the FA A to develop a streamlined
and more affordable certification path
for t he WA AS/SBAS-FMS. Referred
to as the Engineering Assisted Field
Approval Process, it provides Universal
FMS operators an upgrade path to WAAS
Localizer Performance with Vertical
(LPV) via FAA field approval (337). The
company says that using this method
avoids a costly and laborious STC process,
saving time and money.
Availability of WAAS-capable avionics
is integral to the FAAs goal of increasing
the use of GPS navigation and reducing the
industrys dependence on older groundbased navaids such as ILS. RNAV (GPS)
LPV approach procedures take advantage
of the precision of WAAS GPS for both
lateral and vertical guidance during the
approach segment. Use of these procedures
alleviates airspace congestion, saves fuel
and improves safety.
The Engineering Assisted Field Approval
process enables each installation facility
to complete the process just once for a
particular aircraft type, flight guidance
system and display configuration. A ll
follow-on installations for that configuration simply apply for approval under the
standard via FAA field approval process.
Applicants for the Engineering Assisted
Field Approval Process must meet certain
eligibility requirements. The existing
aircraft must be registered in the United
States (N-registered) as a Part 91 and Part
135 operator. In addition, the existing FMS
installation must be approved by FAA TSO,
TC or Field Approval for fully coupled 3-D
pseudo ILS approaches. BCA
