The 1.3 million dollar Gulfstream III ??
I recently had a causal inquiry in regard to a Gulfstream III. I personally have no issues with those wishing to preserve capital and purchase an older airframe. In many cases in fact this can make economic sense. During the course of my first conversation with this prospect, I learned he once soloed and now considers himself capable of going on Controller.com and selecting his own aircraft. He had selected the least expensive G-III on the market. I discussed his needs and discovered he wanted to fly from the Denver area to India on a regular basis(two stops). I glanced at the spec sheet of the aircraft he desired and noticed it was coming up on engine overhauls and major inspections within the next year. I’m sure that this was just the tip of the iceberg. I advised him that this aircraft was most probably not the right choice for him. In fact, if I spent the time to do a cost life-cycle analysis over a few years, I’m pretty sure it would have made sense for him to purchase a more modern airframe (G-IV or Challenger) or at least a G-III that had better times and was Stage III. When I mentioned Stage II vs Stage III to this gentleman, he thought I was speaking a foreign language. This is to be expected of a novice but not someone selecting his own aircraft. I advised him not to buy the aircraft he desired. There were much better choices available. He then advised me that I had no idea what I was speaking about and he could buy and fly this airframe for 20 years. He of course would not hear otherwise. This G-III will probably spend more time in the shop than in the air this year and will cost about 4 million in maintenance. I guess the 1.3 million dollar G-III wasn’t such a bargain after all. I thought it was amazing that this otherwise intelligent man could possibly make such a monumental mistake in regard to an aircraft that will effect his safety and the safety of his family.
What I have described above is one of the classic mistakes in aviation where one’s “EGO EXCEEDS their ABILITY”.
Let’s discuss the G-III: The G-III is a fine old aircraft, that being said, if you can find a well maintained and modernized one it may be suitable for certain operations. Expect a suitable aircraft to cost approximately 5-6 million dollars. You can buy one that is ready to fly or pay less for one that needs modernization. Either way the end result is going to be around the 5-6 million dollar mark for a functional and safe aircraft.
There are many issues of concern when purchasing an older airframe. Please seek out professional advise and take it. It will save you money and hassle in the long run.

Selling your Aircraft in the business aviation recession??
Selling your Aircraft in the business aviation recession??
Inventory levels are now above 10 percent and we are officially in a buyer’s market.
Today an aircraft is taking an average of 213 days to sell of course many are taking longer. Aircraft can vary as much as 50% according to condition alone.
For example: a 10million dollar aircraft in sub-prime condition is worth 7.5 million while that same aircraft in prime condition is worth 12.5million. A savvy completion management team (i.e. Integral Aviation Solution Inc www.inavsol.com) can cost effectively modernize your aircraft. This would yield a very high return on your dollar as well as sell your aircraft faster. This process in concert with a cost effective marketing program (i.e. www.discountjetsales.com) can get your aircraft sold and maximize your return.

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.
