Gulfstream G-250
I was lucky enough to snap a few pictures of the all new Gulfstream 250 doing some test flying. Gulfstream expects it will be certified next year and deliveries to start by the end of the year. The G-250 promises to be a strong competitor in the mid-sized business jet category.

Six Things You Should Know About Selling Your Aircraft
This is an excerpt from:
” A Guide to Sales Success in a Challenging Economy; Six Things You Should Know About Selling Your Aircraft”
that I contributed to. The entire guide is available for download at Taylor Greenwood Photography’s website.
Introduction – What sells a Private Jet or Helicopter?
An aircraft will sell itself, if it is appropriately priced for the condition that it is in.
Get an honest Market Analysis of your aircraft. Today’s buyer is very sophisticated and not easily fooled by a low budget paint and interior refurbishment.
Remember:
• Always represent your aircraft in a clear an honest fashion.
• A good photographer is worth his weight in gold, a poorly photographed aircraft will be overlooked in print and on the web.
• Have reasonable expectations and be flexible there are no longer lines waiting to buy your aircraft.
• Never hire a broker that wants to purchase your aircraft for their inventory they will see a huge profit, not you.
• Aircraft in prime condition with excellent history sell quickly at premium prices.
• Aircraft in poor condition with disorganized records sell slowly at subprime prices.
Is it cost effective to bring your aircraft up to prime condition?
In most cases YES, bringing an aircraft up to the new EASA standards will allow it to be exported easily and increase its marketability. New paint, interior and recent heavy maintenance checks at a reputable center are always good selling points.
Remember the ATC saying “Best equipped aircraft is the Best served”.

Bombardier Global Express
Bombardier introduced the Global Express in 1999 it’s a large Cabin and ultra long range business jet. Capable of going between most of the worlds cities non stop. Powered by Rolls Royce engines with a modern airframe it’s giving Gulfstream a run for the title of king of the corporate fleet. Choosing between Gulfstream and Global is like choosing between BMW and MB. They are both excellent aircraft aircraft.
Some Global Express numbers: Cabin 6’3′” height, 8’3″ wide and 48′ long. Range 6200 NM
Link to Technical specs. from Bombardier
There were 160 Global Express produced of which 12 are on the market. Priced between 44 and 58 million. Pricing update:Sept 09: Global prices have fallen and starting prices are in the high twenties and new aircraft are available….
IAS comments: The Global Express has the largest volume cabin of the business jets and excellent range. There is a strong demand for the Global Express and in fact a 9 year old Global is trading for about the same price as it sold for new. The Global Express is a modern, safe and reliable aircraft.

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.

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.

Gulfstream IV
Gulfstream introduced the GIV in 1986 a re-engined, slightly larger, longer range and quieter Big Bother to the GIII. The GIV instantly assumed the flagship position for Gulfstream and the owners who purchased one. The Gulfstream has the well deserved reputation of the Rolls Royce of business Jets. Speaking of RR the GIV is powered by the RR Tay engine. In 1993 the GIV SP version rolled out increasing some weight limitations allowing the aircraft to carry more passengers with a full load of fuel. The Gulfstream stood unchallenged as the King of the corporate fleet until 1999 when Bombardier introduced the Global Express.
There have been about 500 GIV ’s produced of which about 80 on the market today with a prices starting at 12 million. The GIV is one of the best values in an intercontinental jet.
For those of you who like numbers here are a few approximate ones please verify these for the exact serial number aircraft you are interested in. Cabin ht:6.2ft, wth:7.3 ft, lgth: 45 ft. Range 4200mn
IAS comments: the GIV is a fine aircraft that will meet the needs of many with intercontinental range, long cabin, great product support, reasonable acquisition cost and high residual value. With proper due diligence it’s hard to go wrong with a GIV even if you decide 6 months after your purchase you want something else you will most likely be able to market it for a gain.

Learjet 55
Learjet has been analogous to the business jet since the mid sixties. Bill Lear could be considered the father of the modern business jet. The midsized Learjet 55 produced in 1981 through 1990 has been a favorite with private individuals, corporations and air taxi operators. Its excellent performance was highlighted in 1983 when it set six “time to climb” records for its class.
Some stats for the Learjet 55 are: cabin height 5’9”, width 5’10” length 16’10”
and range 2200 miles.
IAS comments: The Learjet 55 ’s excellent performance, reliability and low operational costs have made it a desirable aircraft to all. The Learjet 55 is a great aircraft to get your feet wet in the business aviation without a large investment. One of Bob’s favorite projects is to totally refurbish a Learjet 55 and produce a “like new” aircraft for under 4 million dollars with the ramp appeal of a 15 million dollar Learjet 60.

Bombardier Challenger 604
Another wonderful design of Bill Lear the Challengers original name was the Learstar. Bomdardier renamed it the Challenger prior to the first delivery of the 600 series aircraft. The 604 started deliveries in 1996 when it replaced the Challenger 601 in the lineup. The Challenger 604 is a Super Mid Sized class aircraft with 4000 nm range. It has the widest body in its class and makes those longer flights very comfortable.
Cabin: Length 28’5”, Height 6’1” width 8’2’. Link to Challenger tech Specs
There have been 366; Challenger 604’s produced of which 46 are available at amazing prices.
IAS comments: The 604 is a great Super Mid Sized jet which can be acquired at bargain price levels. The Challenger 604 will please it owner with modern comforts and reasonable operating costs.

Business Aircraft Solutions in an economic downturn
America’s corporate jet industry is facing lean times as its aircraft are lambasted as symbols of Wall Street excess. Confronted with economic weakness and public scrutiny, companies have put thousands of corporate jets up for sale.
“The struggling bank Citigroup this week cancelled a $50m executive jet after being attacked for the purchase by the White House and by the US treasury.” (AP)
In Congress, the House financial services committee recently threatened to go further by forcing all banks receiving government assistance to offload their entire fleets of corporate jets – a measure which would affect more than 250 institutions.
IAS along with Airbatch Consulting LLC. are boutique aviation consulting firms for the demanding client who desires personalized service.IAS and Airbatch Consulting LLC. believe that there is a solution to the problem being faced by corporations today.Being in business as well and understanding that a Corporate Jet can be a valuable and essential tool that justifies the initial cost ten times over. For the government and the general public that believes everything the media feeds them, the issue is the cost…..
The solution is this, the recent airline recession has placed a large number of airliners on the market. These Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier CRJ, and Embraer ERJ airframes can be cost effectively converted to corporate service at the fraction of the price of buying a new corporate aircraft. This allows for a very acceptable cost cutting alternative without skimping on quality and functionability.There are other aspects of this solution that are very attractive, for example:
- IAS and Airbatch Consulting LLC. can help to divest of the current asset or future delivery position.
- The conversion of the aircraft will take place in the US, helping a US company, putting US workers to work(become a contributor to the solution instead of a focus point of the problem).
- Finally, arrangements can be made to assist with obtaining or placing the aircraft on an existing 135 certificate to operate under thus creating a consistant revenue flow when not being used for company business.
IAS with Airbatch Consulting LLC. has access to all new and pre-owned aircraft on the market and can arrange new aircraft delivery positions without waiting years. By not being aircraft brokers or a manufacturer’s salesperson IAS and Airbatch Consulting LLC. are not limited to an individual brand or individual listings. Aviation consultants that pass along all the favorable terms and get them directly to the client.
Before contacting a manufacturer, jet sales firm or an aircraft broker, contact IAS and Airbatch Consulting LLC. Have an aviation consultant on your side. If the desire is for a large cabin “Head of State” level aircraft and there isn’t a need to go into a few of the smaller corporate airports then a corporate airliner may fit the specific need. Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier CRJ, and Embraer ERJ are luxurious, reliable and safe aircraft. There are a few ways to acquire a corporate airliner: purchase a new one from the manufacturer, buy a pre owned one or the most cost effective manner is to acquire an airliner and convert it for corporate service for a fraction of the cost of a new one. IAS and Airbatch Consulting LLC. can be of assistance regardless of the path choosen
