How to buy a Private Jet, Business Jet or Corporate Helicopter.
There have been many articles written on how to buy an aircraft but this not an article that you read that claims to give you enough knowledge to buy your own aircraft. Quite frankly you cannot acquire enough knowledge to buy an aircraft by reading a few of these articles. A lot of what is required comes from experience.
I am an aviation consultant with thirty years of experience in the industry and I can tell you that it requires at least three consultants to do the job. I being the primary consultant during this process bring into the loop an aviation attorney and an aviation accountant. I have experienced individuals that I match with the needs of my clients in regard to the legal and accounting aspects of the transaction. I handle the negotiations with the seller whether that is a manufacturer of a new aircraft or the owner of a pre-owned aircraft. I also arrange and oversee the pre-purchase of pre owned aircraft or the acceptance process and completion oversight of a new aircraft. Like a conductor of an orchestra I see to it that we are all reading the same sheet of music and playing our parts at the right time.
I have had a recent experience speaking with a manufacturer’s representative indicating that they preferred the client comes directly to them, I guess they want to be able to slaughter the lamb. The fact is that all the aircraft manufacturers have negotiated the terms of purchase of their aircraft, this is the “secret” they don’t want you to know. The interior options a manufacture offers are very limited and in the interest of keeping their productions number up they discourage many customizations that can be easily be accomplished. An aircraft completion management firm can offer you almost anything you desire even if it requires taking a “green” delivery and having a third party complete the aircraft to your liking. Do I need an aircraft completion oversight firm even though I’m buying new aircraft ? ABSOLUTLY POSITIVELY YES it is foolish not to have representation prior to your aircraft being on the assembly line. During the manufacturing and test flight process mistakes and accidents happen. If you don’t have a representative onsite you could be receiving one of these airframes. Granted this is not an everyday occurrence however having a representative onsite insures you will not be the recipient of an aircraft that has gone though a non routine manufacturing or test flight process.
The Bottom line is that I don’t recommend that a layman try to purchase an aircraft on their own. Don’t try to become an aviation professional overnight, hire a fee for service consultant that has your best interest in mind. An aviation consultant will make the whole acquisition process hassle free for you and give you the “peace of mind” knowing that you are getting an aircraft that is safe and will retain its value for years to come.

Bombardier Challenger Series Update
Another wonderful design of Bill Lear the Challengers original name was the Learstar. Bombardier renamed it the Challenger prior to the first delivery of the 600 series aircraft. The 601 started deliveries in 1983 and was a strong seller until 1996 when the longer range Challenger 604 and then 605 replaced it in the lineup . It has the widest body in it’s class and makes those longer flights very comfortable.
Challenger specs. Cabin height 6′2″, Width 8′4″ and Length 28′. Link Challenger tech specs.
IAS comments: The Challenger series of aircraft is one of the most successful lines of corporate aircraft. They have proven themselves to be cost effective and reliable. They can be acquired at about 50% less than last years prices. Anyone considering a business jet should take a serious look at the Challenger series! Challenger 600 prices start below 3 million dollars… The Challenger allows you to enjoy a Super Mid sized class aircraft with cost comparable to some aircraft that have half the cabin volume.

Learjet 31
The Learjet Model 31 is, arguably, the ultimate realization of the original Learjet series Essentially combining the fuselage and engines of the model 35/36 with the “Longhorn” wing of the 28, 29 and 50 models, results in performance which is equaled by few aircraft. Normal cruise altitudes range from 41,000 to 47,000 feet and the aircraft’s maximum cruise altitude of 51,000 feet is a distinction shared by only a handful of civil aircraft. Improvements over earlier models, such as “Delta-Fins” and a “Ski-Locker” increased the utility and improved the performance of the model 31.
- Crew: 2
- Capacity: 8 pax
- Empty weight: 11,100 lbs
- Maximum takeoff weights: 15,500 to 17,700
- Range: 1455 NM
- Service ceiling: 51,000 ft (15,545 m)
- Balanced Field 3500’
IAS comments: The Learjet 31 provides cost effective business transportation and is ideal suited for the Indian market that requires short field performance. Let IAS assist you with the acquisition and modernization of a Learjet 31 converting it to an “IAS Express” . The” IAS Express” modification of Learjet 35/36 and 31 series aircraft increases speed, range, baggage capacity and useful load while reducing operating costs. They can be operated from smaller airports at higher altitudes to more distant destinations than standard Learjets.

Professional Sports Team Aircraft: acquisition through operations

A sports team’s talent is their most precious asset. These days airlines are going bankrupt and losing money. Does it make sense to entrust this asset to a for profit company whose primary concern is mere survival?
The shrinkage in the airline industry has placed many former airliners on the market. These aircraft can be acquired, refurbished to your specifications and operated cost effectively by the team.
I’m familiar with the diminished level of service that your teams are currently receiving. Most major corporations own and operate their aircraft to ensure the safety, security and privacy of their most valued talent. As the representative for your team should you not being doing the same for them?
I have assembled a team of highly qualified professional in all disciplines of aviation to assist clients thought-out the process of transitioning form a charter customer to aircraft owner . We also offer several levels of program management to fit the specific teams needs. Our services include; acquisition, completion, design, engineering, maintenance supervision, flight department organization and program management. In essence there is only one call to make to become an aircraft owning team “Hassle Free”.

Consultants roll in Aircraft Acquisition
Aircraft acquisition can be a trying experience for the uninitiated. There are mazes of Manufacturers’ sales teams and aircraft brokers to navigate. Those unfamiliar with the inner workings can end up in the wrong aircraft, paying more than necessary and/or waiting years longer than required for a new aircraft. The people new to the industry need the help of a professional aviation consultant who is working for them only through this process. A professional aviation consultant can interpret all the “aviation lingo” into understandable layman’s terms. You need an aviation consultant who is independent and not trying to sell an aircraft from his own inventory. An aviation consultant’s primary concern is your best interest and safety.

BBJs(Boeing 737) nose to nose in KEWR (Newark, New Jersey USA)
The BBJ’s are back in Town
You can now acquire A Boeing Business Jet without the previously required 3 to 5 year waiting period. Being an aviation consultant having extensive experience with the Boeing Business Jet also known as a Boeing 737. I keep my finger on the pulse of the BBJ market place and feel now is the time to enter the market. Although many corporate operators shy away from the BBJ due to their lack of experience with aircraft in this category, I have flown this model aircraft around the world for many years. With a little pre-planning it can be operated as easily as you drive your car around the block. IAS can help you with all aspects of the acquisiton and operation of a corporate airliner.

Cessna Citation Sovereign
In the late 1990s, Cessna saw the need for a high-performance jet midway between the Excel/XLS size and the Citation X. The result was the Model 680 Citation Sovereign, powered by two PW360c engines. It uses the Honeywell Primus Epic glass cockpit avionics suite, coupled with dual Honeywell FMZ2000 FMS units. Its claim to fame is that it can take off and land in short distances. The Sovereign seats eight passengers in a typical cabin configuration, with a maximum high-density capacity of 12, in addition to the crew of two.FAA certification awarded in June, 2004. Customer deliveries began later that year.
Empty weight: 17,700 lbs
Useful load: 12,430 lb
Max Take off: 30,300 lb
Powerplant: 2× PWC 360C 5686 lbs
Range: 2,847 nm (5,273 km)
Service Ceiling: 47,000 ft
IAS Comments: I started looking a Cessna Citation Sovereign when chatting with an operator that said he is planning on replacing a Hawker with the Sovereign. I was a little surprised at first then I looked at the price and performance. I realized that other aircraft with the same range are more costly and the Sovereign fit his needs and budget nicely.

This photo was taken on North Atlantic tack “C” a couple of days ago. I thought those of you who are wondering why we are so critical about our altimeter calibrations and RVSM compliances issues would like to see what a 1000 foot separation looks like.
