Appraisal Report Options
There are two USPAP-approved appraisal report options used in presenting appraisal
data:
1. Appraisal Report.
2. Restricted Appraisal Report.
The Restricted Appraisal Report is limited in information and can only be used when
the report is to be used by the client and will not be relied upon by anyone else. The essential
difference among the two report options is in the content and level of information provided.
This Appraisal Report was prepared in accordance with USPAP Standards Rule
2-2(a).
This is a Full Appraisal Report, which contains sufficient information to explain the
appraisal process and includes a physical inspection or on-site audit of the aircraft, but not
the records which were not available during the physical inspection. The purpose of this
appraisal is to determine the Current Fair Market Value (CFMV) of one Hawker 800XP
aircraft. The use of this appraisal is for valuation of the aircraft for support of financing. Our
client is CMG Capital and an intended user of this report is L&L International Ltd.. All data
gathered in support of our CFMV opinion used in the compilation of this appraisal is available
in our workfile for your inspection for a period of five years.

APPROACHES TO VALUE
There are three recognized approaches utilized to determine value which may be used
in appraising, described briefly as follows:
COST APPROACH: This approach begins with the determination of the current cost
to reproduce the asset (Reproduction Cost New) or replace the utility (Replacement Cost
New) of the subject property as of the valuation date. From the more appropriate of these two
costs all forms of depreciation, physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence
are deducted resulting in a value estimate by the Cost Approach. This approach is not widely
used in aircraft appraisals.
INCOME APPROACH: In this approach, the future income stream, associated with
the item is first estimated. From this potential income, all expenses involved in the exchange
or overhaul of the item is deducted yielding net income which is the money an investor could
expect to receive from the item. This data is then processed into value either by means of a
capitalization rate embodying consideration of capital cost, remaining economic life and
degree of risk involved, or by means of a discounted cash flow analysis over an appropriate
economic life.
The Income Approach is typically not used in the aerospace industry. It is very difficult
to separate and allocate the portion of the operating income attributable to specific aircraft.
Consequently it is not used in this analysis.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: In this approach, sales of comparable parts or
equipment are analyzed. If detailed information is available, the individual sales are adjusted
for various aspects of similarity to the subject. The resultant adjusted sales prices are
correlated and a value estimate for the subject is derived from them.
The Sales Comparison Approach is an appropriate method to estimate the value of
the subject aircraft by using appropriate comparable sales, however all details concerning the
status and condition of the comparables must be known. If sufficient details are not known
about the comparables, then using references sources which list average sales values during
a given time period, would be more appropriate.
In the analysis of the subject aircraft, the Sales Comparison Approach, using
reference sources of sales prices and current market information was utilized.

Value Considerations
AAMI follows the traditional industry standards for market evaluations, which are
based on half-life (time) of life-limited parts and time between overhaul (TBO) on the aircraft
high-cost maintenance items. The following parameters and assumptions are utilized for
purposes of standardized comparisons; namely that the aircraft has half-life remaining on the
time-controlled components to its next scheduled major overhaul or shop visit; is under an
approved maintenance program and in compliance with all Airworthiness Directives (ADs),
and applicable Service Bulletins (SBs). It has traceability of life-limited and time-controlled
parts; all repairs and modifications accomplished are approved and signed off with full
documentation; is in standard configuration; has no damage history, and is sold for a cash
transaction.
This, moreover, assumes the aircraft is equipped with standard part/components and
options of the types and models generally accepted and utilized in the industry, and that it is
one of the standard or widely used configurations utilized in domestic or international
operations in private or commercial operations. Additional factors, including date of delivery,
total and ratio of hours to cycles and modifications, are considered when making adjustments
for a specific aircraft.
Changes in the aforementioned parameters, assumptions and standards can increase
or decrease the market price.
Conversely, market values, as well as actual appraised values are detrimentally
affected on aircraft that have been out of service for prolonged periods or not currently
certified as airworthy. Deterioration in value will also apply to aircraft, which have
disproportionately high cycle-to-hour ratios relative to the average achieved by the industry in
operating the specific types of aircraft, or to aircraft that have a damage history. No accident,
incident, or damage history was reported to us and none was found in a search of the FAA
and NTSB databases for this aircraft.

Forced liquidation and bankruptcy sales can cause prices to fall as much as 30% or
more below current market prices during certain market trends. Sales by non-operating
entities that do not include the benefits of in-house financing usually bring lower prices on a
cash or cash equivalent basis.
Additionally, market values are also based on knowledge of asking, offered and
transaction prices similar, competitive, and alternative equipment.
The analysis contained in this report, although acknowledging immediate effects,
excludes extremely short-term market stimulants and depressants from both present base
values and forecasted values, when it is determined that they are transient in nature. It is
expected that short-term situations tend only to affect availability temporarily, rather than
cause consequential price changes. This is due to the long-term economic consequences of
price considerations outweighing the short-term consequences of reduced or high availability
caused by these temporary problems. The pressures on the manufacturers to overcome
major problems promptly as they arise lessen the chance of the values of their product lines
being affected detrimentally in the long-term.
Conversely, the implementation requirements of high cost Airworthiness Directives,
mandatory Service Bulletins, and high time/cycle special maintenance requirements, are
treated as long term impact items for applicable engines and aircraft.
There were 475 total Hawker 800s built between 1995-2006 They are no longer in
production. There are 469 of these aircraft remaining, 307 of which are operated in North
America, and 160 in other regions. Total time ranges from 68 hours to 12,958 hours. There
are 54 of these aircraft for sale and none offered for lease. Average asking price is $2.3M
and the average days on the market is 314. The average total time on the aircraft that are
currently listed for sale is 5,586 hours. In 2016 so far there have been 22 transactions on this
model. In 2015 there were 108 transactions.

Value Calculations
A. Current Fair Market Value (CFMV) (Half-life)
Current Fair Market Value (Half-Life) is a base-line value that assumes its
physical condition is average for an aircraft of its type and age, and its
maintenance time status is at mid-life, mid-time (or benefiting from an above-
average maintenance status if it is new or nearly new, as the case may be). It
also assumes that the aircraft is equipped with the manufacturer's standard
compliment of equipment. It is the starting point for making maintenance and
other adjustments to arrive at the adjusted CFMV.
When reliable actual sales data is available, it is preferable to use those actual
sales values of recent sales for comparison purposes to establish a Base
Value. We were able to ascertain current asking prices of similar aircraft
currently on the market. We also subscribe to aircraft pricing services that
report values based on actual sales comparables. In addition, we had a
discussion with a number of owners, previous owners, and brokers concerning
recent offerings and transactions. We considered all values in addition to a
broad knowledge about the current executive aviation marketplace. AAMI
considered numerous reference sources for the Half-Life CFMV starting point
We have used a mid-life CFMV of 2,200,000. This is the point from which we
make our maintenance adjustments.
A. Airframe Time:
Adjustments for Airframe Total Time are based on the fleet average of all of the 1999
Hawker 800XP aircraft. According to the Blue Book, the average airframe time for a
1999 Hawker 800XP is 410 hours per year. N516TH has an average of 277 hours per
year 68% of the average.
Page 7
EFTA00605240
24atartion 1144et Iltanagement Tad
B. Airframe Maintenance:
The airframe major check is the 48-month airframe check at an average cost of
$75,000.
C. APU
There is an adjustment of $15.50 per hour for hours more or less than half life (5,000
hours).
D. Engines:
The engines are maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's maintenance
program. The condition of the engines is a very important element in determining the
value of the aircraft. There is no Adjustment for Time Remaining on the Engine
Refurbishment on the engines as the engines are on a Maintenance Service Plan
(MSP Gold) and are considered at Half Life
E. Current Fair Market Value (Adjusted):
Is the Appraiser's opinion of the most likely trading price that may be generated for a
property under the market circumstances that are perceived to exist at the time in
question.
The term assumes that the property is valued for its highest and best use, that the
parties to the hypothetical sale transaction are willing, able, prudent and
knowledgeable, and under no unusual pressure for a prompt sale, and that the
transaction would be negotiated in an open and unrestricted market on an arm's length
basis. It is synonymous with Market Value, and likewise Current Fair Market Value is
synonymous with Current Market Value because the criteria typically used in those
documents that use the term "Fair" reflect the same criteria set forth in the above
definition of Market Value. By itself, the term "Fair" does not bring any additional
qualifications to the appraised value, but it is a term sometimes used in leases, sales
contracts, tax regulations and legal documents, and is sometimes accompanied with a
specific definition to which the contracting parties have agreed.

Physical Inspection
1999 Hawker 800XP
Serial Number 258418
Registration N516TH
The aircraft was inspected at the Ft Lauderdale International airport on March 23,
2016 at Jetscapes. It is currently undergoing installation of a new interior. I did not observe
the new seats or other interior pieces, so I can only assume it is getting the typical re-rag on
the seats, refurbished sidewalls and ceiling panels and new carpet. They just completed a
complete fresh paint job in the 850XP paint scheme. The fuselage is in good condition with
no skin patches or dents. The passenger windows and pilot's windows are also in good
condition.
There are no oil or Skydrol leaks evident, as one would expect following a fresh paint
job. No fuel leaks are evident, which can be a problem on these aircraft. They also just
completed the 12, 24, and 48-Month airframe maintenance checks and brought all ADs and
SBs up to date. The repairs will continue into next week.
The aircraft has been operating under FAA FAR Part 91 rules, and a non-commercial
maintenance program. In addition, routine maintenance, minor issues are being corrected as
they are found. This aircraft was previously operated under the FAR 135 regulations.
The records for the aircraft were viewed and no problems were apparent. There were
numerous large airframe log books plus engine and APU logs. All Airworthiness Directives
and all Service Bulletins have been complied with. The information in these log books stops
after March 2014, but the records are being kept in a separate large binder and John Taylor
is in the process of cleaning up the record books and putting all of the service items in the
binders.
There is no history of damage. Both engines are on a pre-paid maintenance service
program (MSP) called MSP Gold which covers all routine maintenance. The engines are
operated "on condition" which means they fly until there is something needing routine
maintenance or repair, then the item is repaired. The airframe is on a computerized aircraft
maintenance system (CAMS) which tracks all maintenance items.
The Airworthiness Certificate and Registration certificates were inaccessible due to
work being accomplished on the interior.
Pictures of the aircraft follow:

Hawker 800XP
INTRODUCTION
The Hawker 800 is a derivative of the de Havilland 125. The British Aerospace Board
sanctioned the program to improve the, then current and strongly selling, BAe 125 700 series
in April 1981. By May 1983 the new aircraft was ready for its first test flight.
The 800 series has a number of modifications and changes over the 700; most
noticeable was the redesigned cockpit windscreen. Accompanying this are a modified rear
fuselage fairing as well as a glass cockpit and uprated (from 3,700 to 4,300 Ib) Garrett
TFE731-5R-1H engines. British Aerospace also improved the wing by incorporating new
outer wing sections. This helped to reduce drag and improve aerodynamic efficiency.
The launch of the Raytheon Hawker 800XP extended performance mid-size business
jet was announced in 1995. The aircraft is in service both as a business / VIP jet and also in
special mission versions. The XP features uprated engine, enhanced aerodynamics,
increased weight and system upgrades.
In December 2006, Raytheon announced the sale of Raytheon Aircraft to GS Capital
Partners. The new company is called Hawker Beechcraft Inc and the sale was completed in
March 2007.
Page 20
EFTA00605253
Aveateos Azet 71faaagearat Tae
The Hawker 800XP business jet is derived from the design of the UK-built de Havilland
/ Hawker Siddely and British Aerospace 125, first built in 1962, which evolved into the Series
400 to 800 produced up to the early 1990s. Raytheon purchased the Series 800 program in
1993 and the aircraft took the name Hawker 800.
There were 475 total Hawker 800s built between 1995-2006 They are no longer in
production.
In November 2005, Raytheon introduced the Hawker 850XP, a successor to the
Hawker 800XPi. The aircraft has composite, outwardly canted winglets, a range increased by
4% (an additional 185km) and 8% improvement in time to climb. The 850XP has the same
Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics Airshow 21 cabin management system as the 800XPi.
The Hawker 850XP received certification in March 2006 and is the current production model,
superseding the 800XP.
The aircraft is powered by two rear-mounted Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1H turbofan
engines each rated at 20.73kN. The engines, fitted with Dee Howard thrust reversers, are
mounted in Northrop Grumman pods on either side of the rear fuselage. The engines are
fitted with BCF engine fire extinguishers and engine bleed air ice protection.

Honeywell TFE-731
INTRODUCTION
The TFE731 was based on the core of the TSCP700, which was specifically
developed for use as the auxiliary power unit (APU) on the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The
design featured two important factors, low fuel consumption, and low noise profiles which met
the newly established U.S. noise abatement regulations.
The first test run of the TFE731 occurred in 1970 at Garrett's plant in Torrance,
California. The first production model, the TFE731-2 began rolling off the assembly line in
August, 1972, and was used on the Learjet 35/36 and Dassault Falcon 10, both of which
entered production in 1973.
The TFE731-3 was developed for use in the Lockheed JetStar re-engining program,
and subsequent versions of it have been used on a number of aircraft, including the Learjet
55.
The -5 model was certified in 1982, and a decade later, an engine utilizing the
TFE731-5 power section and a TFE731-3 fan was built and designated the TFE731-4,
intended to power the Cessna Citation 650 and 750 series aircraft.
The latest TFE731-50R, has 70 improvements to this already robust engine, including
improved core and LP spool technologies, new Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC) and
a complete nacelle and thrust reverser system.
Page 23
EFTA00605256
Adatecut Aset 7llanagesteet %c
These changes resulted in greater versatility, dramatically improved temperature
margins, a better lapse rate than the TFE731-5BR and, depending on altitude condition, up to
8% better SFC.
The TFE731 family of engines has a legacy of proven reliability. The first TFE731 was
certified in 1972. Since that time, more than 13,000 engines have been produced, logging an
astounding 100 million plus hours of service on more than 30 different aircraft applications.

Aviation Outlook
The following information is taken from numerous industry sources, including General
Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), Honeywell Aerospace Forecasts, Boeing,
Embraer, Airbus Industries, Cessna Aircraft Corporation, Federal Aviation Administration,
IATA, ATA, and the National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA).
Inventories of pre-owned business jets for sale are climbing again, and the number of
aircraft for sale in the six- to 10-year age range is at an all-time high. The inventory of
business jets for sale inched up a percentage point in January, reaching 11 percent of the
installed base of aircraft. Young aircraft for sale, those five years or younger, went up 2
percent in January and 1 percent over 2015. While this is still 63 percent less than peak, the
inventory of slightly older aircraft for sale, those between six and 10 years old, jumped 19
percent over 2015 and is now above the 2009 absolute peak. In the six- to 10-year range,
the number of large-cabin aircraft for sale has reached 12 percent of the installed base.
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) announced that total
worldwide general aviation (GA) airplane shipments fell 4.6 percent, from 2,376 units in 2014
to 2,267 units in 2015. Billings for GA airplanes also dropped to $20.9 billion, down 4 percent
from $21.8 billion in 2014.
Business Jet shipments were relatively flat, up 1.6 percent, from 644 units in 2014 to
654 units in 2015. Piston-engine airplanes fell for the first time since 2010, down 6.5 percent,
from 1,129 units in 2014 to 1,056 units in 2015. Turboprop airplane shipments also declined,
from 603 units in 2014 to 557 units in 2015, a 7.6 percent drop.

Bombardier delivered 199 business jets last year and expects shipments to drop by
nearly a quarter this year, to about 150 business aircraft. Bombardier's business aircraft
deliveries in 2015 comprised 73 Global 5000/6000s, 68 Challenger 300/350s, 25 Challenger
605/650s, one Challenger 850 and 32 Learjet 70/75s. Gross business jet sales also fell to
119 aircraft, from 181 in 2014. After accounting for Learjet 85 cancellations and restructuring
certain customer agreements in the third quarter, net sales were -21, compared with 129 in
the previous year.
Dassault Falcon sales declined by 72 percent in 2015 compared with 2014. In 2015,
Dassault reported 45 gross Falcon sales, but a NetJets cancellation of 20 Falcon 2000s
brought the net tally to just 25 aircraft. A disappointing 55 new Falcons were delivered in
2015 versus an expected 65, which would have put 2015 on par with 2014. The backlog
included 91 Falcons, compared to 121 Falcons one year before.
Embraer delivered a total of 221 business jets and airliners in 2015, marking its
highest number of aircraft shipments in five years. Deliveries were up by 13 aircraft year-
over-year, with both its executive aviation and commercial aviation units making gains.
The Brazilian manufacturer handed over 120 business jets in 2015, the most since
2010, when it shipped 144. Deliveries were up by four aircraft over the 116 delivered in 2014.
The 2015 shipments included 82 Phenoms and 38 of the larger jets, which include the
Legacy 450, 500 and 600 and Lineage 1000. In 2014, Phenoms accounted for 92 of the
deliveries and larger jets the remaining 24 deliveries.

The Business/General Aviation Fleet
Honeywell is forecasting up to 9,200 new business jet deliveries worth $270 billion
from 2015 to 2025, with a 3 to 5 percent reduction over the value noted in the 2014 forecast.
Honeywell forecasts 2014 deliveries of approximately 675 to 725 new jets in 2015, a
single-digit percentage growth year over year. The improvement in deliveries expected in
2015 is largely due to new model introductions and an increase in fractional-usage type of
aircraft deliveries. 2016 deliveries are projected to be slightly lower reflecting weaker
emerging market demand partially offset by deliveries to fractional operators.
Operators surveyed plan to make new jet purchases equivalent to about 22 percent of
their fleets over the next five years as replacements or additions to their current fleet. Of the
total new business jet purchase plans, 19 percent are intended to occur by the end of 2016,
while 17 and 20 percent are scheduled for 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Operators continue to focus on larger-cabin aircraft classes, ranging from super mid-
size through ultra long-range and business liner, which are expected to account for more than
80 percent of all expenditures on new business jets in the near term. The longer-range
forecast through 2025 projects a 3 percent average annual growth rate despite the relatively
flat near-term outlook as new models and improved economic performance contribute to
industry growth.

EFTA00605266

The worldwide business aircraft fleet continued to grow in 2015. There were 35,682
turbine airplanes at the end of 2015 compared to 34,755 airplanes in 2014. The number of
active operators is also growing; A the end of 2015, there were 21,339 business airplane
operators. After several years of decline, the fractional aircraft fleet has stabilized. In 2015
there were 837 aircraft used in fractional operations, up from 823 in 2014, and the number of
fractional owners was 4,369 slight decline from 2014. when there were 4,402 owners.

214,260 aircraft by 2035. The more expensive and sophisticated turbine-powered fleet
(including rotorcraft) is projected to grow to a total of 45,905 aircraft at an average rate of 2.4
percent a year over the forecast period, with the turbine jet portion increasing at 2.8 percent a
year, reaching a total of 20,815 by 2035.

Business/General Aviation Market Forecast
According to the 2016 Business Aviation Forecast, the world's western produced in-
service business fleets will increase from 31,000 aircraft in 2016 to nearly 38,000 aircraft at
the end of 2025, a growth rate of 2.3% annually. Additionally, the 10-year demand for
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in the business market is expected to be $121.8
billion. The 2016 forecast expectations show that the North American market will dominate
the world sales and MRO demand for years to come; and will also have a vibrant fleet
replacement cycle with nearly 3,400 aircraft retirements and over 8,000 aircraft deliveries.
Other key findings from the 2016 Business Aviation Forecast Summary include:
1. Ultra Long Range category jets will grow fleet share the fastest along with
Super Mid Size category aircraft growing nearly as fast ending the year 2025
with nearly 3,200 aircraft. Very Light Jets will grow its category share rapidly to
over 1,500 aircraft over the next 10 years.
2. China, with a small base fleet, will grow the fastest fleet at 9% and MRO
requirements despite economic and political pressures; the largest market,
North America, will grow at 2.3% rate.
3. North America's in-service fleet share will remain constant during the forecast
period at 63.5% while Western Europe will increase its share to 12.5% of the
Page 35
EFTA00605268
Aveareda .4444 Neutagenrent Sac
world's fleet. Latin America and Africa will lose fleet share, with Eastern Europe
and China gaining fleet share.
4. The top five aircraft deliveries are expected to be: King Air 300/350, Pilatus PC-
12, Gulfstream G650, Challenger 300/350 and Phenom 300.
Bombardier estimates that 9,000 new business jets worth $267 billion will be delivered
over the next decade. Although the light jet segment is expected to provide the best sellers in
terms of numbers, with 3,400 sales forecast, it offers the lowest share of the revenue,
totalling $39 billion, and only a 2.4-percent annual growth rate.

The midsize category fares a bit better, with a projected growth rate of 3.8 percent.
Conversely, sales in the large-cabin arena are expected to cover 2,500 aircraft that generate
$137 billion in sales, with an expected annual growth rate of 9.6 percent.
Regional analysis suggests that the North American market will continue to lead the
way in terms of numbers, with 3,900 new sales, but at a growth rate of only two percent.
Europe is expected to generate 1,525 sales, with a growth rate of seven percent. One of the
criteria examined by Bombardier in its analysis is regional penetration, measured by how
many business jets represent each $1 trillion of GDP. In the U.S. the figure is 600, while in
Page 36
EFTA00605269
Aotateat
21teutagestent Sac
Europe it is just 80. This suggests to Bombardier that there is considerable potential in the
European market for greater penetration.
Bombardier's analysis sees the slowdown in business aviation in China and Russia as
being short-term effects, and that both markets, along with other developing regions such as
Latin America, will contribute to the market growth in the longer term. For instance,
Bombardier estimates an annual fleet growth rate of 13 percent for China and six percent for
Russia/CIS
Embraer's market analysts have revised their 10-year forecast for business jets
predicts sales of 9,100 aircraft worldwide worth $259 billion. This represents a modest annual
growth rate of 3 percent, as well as a slight increase in deliveries compared with the previous
decade, at 8,190 business jet shipments worth $198 billion.
Once again the North American market drives the demand with 4,850 units worth $130
billion, followed by Europe and Africa with 2,100 jets worth $64 billion; the Middle East and
Asia-Pacific with 1,500 aircraft worth $54 billion; and Latin America with 650 airplanes valued
at $11 billion.
Large jets will lead the market both in terms of number of units and valuation at 3,400
and $175 billion, respectively. But midsize jets are expected to regain some traction, selling
3,280 worth $66 billion, which is good news for Embraer's new Legacy 450 and 500.
Meanwhile, while the light jet market will continue to struggle, with estimated deliveries of
2,420 worth $18 billion.
While other regions of the world are lagging, the North American market is steadily
improving, accounting for 66 percent of deliveries in the third quarter this year.

GLOSSARY
Unique circumstances may demand specific definitions not found below. Many terms
are used to describe notions of value. The definitions offered here are to provide the
fundamental concepts and are not the only acceptable definitions, since contracts may
dictate a somewhat different notion. Therefore, these definitions may be expanded or
redefined as the purpose and function of an appraisal may dictate, as long as the
fundamental concept is not altered.
Also, because of its specialized nature, appraisal practice involves the usage of many
technical and financial terms that may not be commonly understood by clients or laymen. The
following glossary is intended to assist the client in understanding these terms.
TYPES OF APPRAISALS
APPRAISAL: A formal valuation of property made by a competent authority.
DESKTOP APPRAISAL: Does not include any inspection of the aircraft or review of
its maintenance records. It is based upon assumed aircraft condition and maintenance status
or information provided to the appraiser or from the appraiser's own database. A desktop
appraisal would normally provide a value for a mid-time, mid-life aircraft.
EXTENDED DESKTOP APPRAISAL: An extended desktop appraisal is one which is
still characterized by the absence of any on-site inspection of the aircraft or its maintenance
records, but does include consideration of maintenance status information that is provided to
the appraiser from the client, aircraft operator, or in the case of a second opinion, possibly
from another appraiser's report. An extended desktop appraisal would normally provide a
value that includes adjustments for the mid-time, mid-life baseline to account for the actual
maintenance status of the aircraft.
FULL APPRAISAL: Includes an inspection of the aircraft and its maintenance records.
This inspection is aimed solely at determining the overall condition of the aircraft and records
to support the value opinions of the appraiser, and would not, for example, include opening of
inspection panels on the aircraft or a detailed review of record archives. A full appraisal would
normally provide a value that includes adjustments from the mid-time baseline to account for
Page 40
EFTA00605273
Adeteaut Adze Nana9emeed 9ete
the actual maintenance status of the aircraft, and possibly other adjustments to reflect the
findings of the inspection of the aircraft and its records.
COMPREHENSIVE APPRAISAL: Includes a detailed inspection of the aircraft and
records. Sufficient detail is required, for example, to insure that the records are in sufficiently
good order to allow for the re-registration of the aircraft in a different country.
FINANCIAL APPRAISAL: A financial appraisal is one that determines the value of an
aircraft to an investor based upon the income earning potential from its lease and residual
value. A financial appraisal may be done in conjunction with either desktop or full appraisals.
VALUE DEFINITIONS
BASE VALUE (Aircraft): Is the Appraiser's opinion of the underlying economic value
of an aircraft in an open, unrestricted, stable market environment with a reasonable balance
of supply and demand, and assumes full consideration of its "highest and best use". An
aircraft's Base Value is founded in the historical trend of values and in the projection of value
trends and presumes an arm's-length, cash transaction between willing, able and
knowledgeable parties, acting prudently, with an absence of duress and with a reasonable
period of time available for marketing.
In most cases, the Base Value of an aircraft assumes its physical condition is average
for an aircraft of its type and age, and its maintenance time status is at mid-life, mid-time (or
benefiting from an above-average maintenance status if it is new or nearly new, as the case
may be).
CATALOG VALUE (List Price): Is the Manufacturer's published suggested selling
price. The catalog price may be changed periodically by the manufacturer.
CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE (CFMV): Is the Appraiser's opinion of the most
likely trading price that may be generated for a property under the market circumstances that
are perceived to exist at the time in question.
The term assumes that the property is valued for its highest and best use that the
parties to the hypothetical sale transaction are willing, able, prudent and knowledgeable, and
under no unusual pressure for a prompt sale, and that the transaction would be negotiated in
an open and unrestricted market on an arm's length basis.
Page 41
EFTA00605274
Acattetut ;4444 Nagagement lac
It is a synonymous with Market Value, and likewise Current Fair Market Value is
synonymous with Current Market Value because the criteria typically used in those
documents that use the term "Fair" reflect the same criteria set forth in the above definition of
Market Value.
By itself, the term "Fair" does not bring any additional qualifications to the appraised
value, but it is a term sometimes used in leases, sales contracts, tax regulations and legal
documents, and is sometimes accompanied with a specific definition to which the contracting
parties have agreed.
CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE IN CONTINUED USE: The estimated amount,
expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for a property in exchange
between a willing buyer and seller with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or
sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, including installation, as of a specific date, and
assuming that the business earnings support the value reported.
CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE INSTALLED: The estimated amount expressed in
terms of money that may reasonably be expected for a property in exchange between a
willing buyer and a willing seller with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or
sell and both fully aware of all pertinent facts as of a specific date. Installed refers to the
inclusion of expenditures to make the equipment operable in its present location.
CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE REMOVAL: The estimated amount, expressed in
terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for a property between a willing buyer and
seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of
all relevant facts, as of a specific date, considering removal of the property to another
location.
FORCED LIQUIDATION VALUE (FLV): Is the estimated gross amount expressed in
terms of money which could be typically realized from an immediate forced sale (auction),
with the seller being compelled to sell on an as is-where is basis. It I the Appraiser's opinion
of the price at which a property could be sold under abnormal conditions, such as an
artificially limited marketing time period, the perception of the seller being under duress to
sell, an auction, a liquidation, commercial restrictions, legal complications, or other such
Page 42
EFTA00605275
iteation 14444 Vtanagesant Sae
factors that significantly reduce the bargaining leverage of the seller and give the buyer a
significant advantage that can translate into heavily discounted actual trading prices. Apart
from the fact that the seller is uncommonly motivated, the parties to the transaction are
otherwise assumed to be willing, able, prudent and knowledgeable, negotiating at arm's-
length, normally under the market conditions that are perceived to exist at the time, not an
idealized balanced market.
LIQUIDATION VALUE IN PLACE: The estimated gross amount, expressed in terms
of money, that is projected to be obtainable from a failed facility, assuming that the entire
facility would be sold intact, as of a specific date, within a limited time to complete the sale.
NET ORDERLY LIQUIDATION VALUE (NOLV): A professional opinion of the
estimated most probable price expressed in terms of currency which the property could
typically realize at a privately negotiated sale, properly advertised and professionally
managed, by a seller obligated to sell over a six to eighteen month time period, as of the
effective date of the appraisal report. Further, the ability of the inventory to draw sufficient
prospective buyers to insure competitive offers is considered. It is assumed that all of the
property will be sold on a piecemeal basis "as is, where is" with the purchaser being
responsible for removal at their own risk and expense. The circumstances of liquidation must
be carefully reviewed at the time so as to maximize return.
The typical costs of liquidating a property of this type, over a liquidation period, must,
at a minimum, budget for salaries, increased commissions, warehousing & office space,
telephone & utilities, advertising, insurance, accounting and legal expenses. These expenses
would be deducted from the Orderly Liquidation Value given.
ORDERLY LIQUIDATION VALUE (OLV): Is a professional opinion of the estimated
most probable price expressed in terms of currency which the inventory could typically realize
at a privately negotiated sale, properly advertised and professionally managed, by a seller
obligated to sell over a defined period of time. Further, the ability of the inventory to draw
sufficient prospective buyers to insure competitive offers is considered. It is assumed that all
of the inventory will be sold on a piecemeal basis "as is, where is" with the purchaser being
responsible for removal at their own risk and expense."

Adation lhaet 2/tanagesiat .7Ne
SALVAGE VALUE: The estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may be
expected for the whole property or a component of the whole property that is retired from
service for use elsewhere.
SCRAP VALUE: The estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that could be
realized for the property, as of a specific date, if it were sold for its material content not for a
productive use.
SECURITIZED VALUE or Lease-Encumbered Value: Is the Appraiser's opinion of
the value of an aircraft, under lease, given a specified lease payment stream (rents and
term), and estimated future residual value at lease termination, and an appropriate discount
rate.
INSURANCE REPLACEMENT COST: The replacement cost new as of a specific
date, as defined in the insurance policy, less the cost new of the items specifically excluded
in the policy, if any.
INSURANCE VALUE DEPRECIATED: The insurance replacement cost as of a
specific date, less accrued depreciation considered for insurance purposes.
REPRODUCTION COST NEW: The current cost of reproducing a new replica of a
property with the same or closely similar materials.
REPLACEMENT VALUE: Is the Appraiser's opinion of "a fair return in money,
goods, services, etc., for something in exchange; monetary worth of a thing;
marketable price." It is the most likely trading price that a property would trade for under the
market circumstances that are perceived to exist at the time in question. Value is usually
estimated and is subject to differences of opinion and interpretation and varies from one
person to another. (Value is what a thing is worth; price is what is paid to acquire it.)
The term assumes that the property is valued for its highest and best use, that the
parties to the hypothetical sale transaction are willing, able, prudent and knowledgeable, and
under no unusual pressure for a prompt sale, and that the transaction would be negotiated in
an open and unrestricted market on an arm's length basis.
REPLACEMENT COST NEW: The current cost of a similar new property having the
nearest equivalent utility as the property being appraised.

TECHNICAL TERMS
The following definitions are largely derived from other aviation industry publications,
including:
+ Federal Aviation Regulations
+ FAA Publication 8300.9, Airworthiness Inspector's Handbook
+ World Airlines Technical Operations Glossary (WATOG) developed jointly by the
Air Transport Association (ATA), International air Transport Association (IATA) and
Aerospace Industries Association (AIA).
In some cases additional explanatory language has been added as clarification or to
discuss the item's particular relevance to the aircraft appraisal process.
Note that many of the entries below refer only to the US FAA where it might be more
appropriate to add "or other air authority". Also, in many cases the definitions are drawn from
or refer to specific Federal Aviation Regulations, although it is possible that these could differ
from similar regulations published by the air authorities in other international jurisdictions.
ACCIDENT: An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft, which takes
place between the times any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight, until such
time as all such persons have disembarked, in which:
Any person suffers death or serious injury as a result of being in or upon the
aircraft, or by direct contact with the aircraft or anything attached thereto; or
The aircraft received substantial damage; or
Any damage is caused to the property of a third party.
ADVISORY CIRCULAR: A publication of the FAA to inform the aviation public of non-
regulatory material of interest. Unless incorporated into a regulation by reference, the
contents of an AC are not binding. An AC is issued to provide guidance and information in its
designated subject area or to show a method acceptable for complying with a related Federal
Aviation Regulation.
AIRCRAFT: A device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air.
Page 45
EFTA00605278
Acattetut ;4444 7llanageasset Tat
AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATIONS ADDRESSING/REPORTING SYSTEM (ACARS):
A communications system that automatically reports via radio when an aircraft is out of
the gate, off the ground, back on the ground, and at the gate again, thus automatically
collecting data on flight cycles, flight time and block time. During flight the system may also
monitor and report on aircraft and engine performance.
AIRCRAFT, LARGE: A defined category used by the US FAA for aircraft having a
maximum certificated takeoff weight more than 12,500 pounds.
AIRCRAFT, SMALL: A defined category used by the US FAA for aircraft having a
maximum certificated takeoff weight more than 12,500 pounds or less.
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (AMM): A manual that describes the methods,
techniques and practices to be used by persons performing maintenance, alteration or
preventive maintenance on an aircraft.
AIRPLANE: An engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft, heavier than air, that is supported in
flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.
AIRWORTHINESS: The condition of an item (aircraft, aircraft system or part) in which
that item is capable of operating in a safe manner to accomplish its intended purpose. Two
key factors are: the aircraft (or device) must conform to its type design and it must be in a
condition for safe operation.
AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE: An Airworthiness Certificate is issued by the FAA
for an individual aircraft when it is satisfied that the aircraft conforms to the Type Certificate
and is in a condition for safe operation. The Airworthiness Certificate is issued to the
registered owner, and is transferred with the aircraft. It remains in effect as long as the
aircraft is maintained (or altered) according to the appropriate FAA regulations and continues
to be registered in the United States.
AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE (AD): A mandatory order issued by the FAA, usually
applying to specific types of aircraft, engines or appliances, when an unsafe condition exists
and that condition is likely to exist or develop in other aircraft, engines or appliances of the
same design. An AD usually requires some maintenance action (possibly only an inspection),
Page 46
EFTA00605279
Asa/Ma Aaet Iltanagentent %c
within some specified time in order to ensure continued safety and airworthiness, and no
aircraft may be operated in contravention of the requirements or limitations of an AD.
ASSEMBLY: A number of parts, subassemblies, or any combination thereof joined
together to perform a specific function and which can be disassembled without destruction of
designed use. (The distinction between an assembly and a subassembly is not always exact.
An assembly is one instance may be a subassembly in another where it forms a portion of an
assembly).
BURDEN, MAINTENANCE (sometimes also referred to as indirect maintenance
cost): Those maintenance labor and material costs not considered to be direct maintenance
costs, but which contribute to overall maintenance program costs though overhead
operations, administration, record-keeping, scheduling, controlling, planning, supervision,
tooling, test equipment, facilities, etc.
CARGO: All traffic other than passengers. Cargo includes freight, mail and excess
baggage shipments.
COMPONENT: Any self-contained part, combination of parts, sub-assemblies or units,
which perform a distinctive function necessary to the operation of a system.
COST, DIRECT AND INDIRECT: Although there is not an "official" definition from any
regulatory body, aircraft direct operating costs (DOCs) are customarily categorized as
follows:
4- Flying Operations
Crew Salaries & Expenses
Fuel & Oil
Insurance
4- Maintenance
Direct Labor & Material
Maintenance Burden
+ Depreciation & Rentals
+ Landing Fees & Airport Handling Charges (sometimes)
The major categories of indirect operating costs include:
+ Aircraft Servicing
Page 47
EFTA00605280
iteettecut ;444et Weanagement lac
4- Traffic Servicing
4- Servicing Administration
4- Reservations & Sales
4- Advertising & Publicity
+ General & Administrative
CYCLE, AIRCRAFT OPERATING: A complete flight sequence including taxi, takeoff,
flight en route, and landing. In the case of engines, a cycle includes starting, acceleration to
maximum rated power, deceleration and stopping (FAR 33.14).
DAMAGE, FOREIGN OBJECT (FOD): Damage to any portion of the aircraft (most
commonly engines) caused by impact or ingestion of birds, stones, hail or other debris.
ENGINE: The basic engine assembly plus its essential accessories as supplied by the
engine manufacturer. These include those units and components which are used to induce
and convert fuel/air mixture into thrust/power; to transmit power to the propeller shaft, if any,
and accessory drives; to supplement the function of other defined systems external to the
engine; and to control and direct the flow of internal lubrication. The nacelle and the reverser
are excluded.
ENGINE SHOP VISIT: An engine removal is classified as a "shop visit" whenever the
subsequent engine maintenance performed prior to reinstallation entails one of the following:
Separation of pairs of major mating engine flanges (other than solely for shipment),
Removal/replacement of a disk, hub, or spool.
Sometimes the definition is specifically tailored, as in some Airworthiness Directives
that say, "For the purpose of this AD, an engine shop visit is defined as input to an engine
repair shop where the low pressure turbine module is removed", or "the front and rear flanges
of the combustion case are separated", or "any major module is separated", or "the inlet
gearbox is exposed".
EXTENDED OVERWATER OPERATIONS: Flight operations over water at a
horizontal distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the nearest shoreline. These are
operations for which the regulations require certain communications equipment, as well as
various items of emergency and water survival equipment (life rafts and emergency flotation
Page 48
EFTA00605281
Acattaut 4444 Vtana9entent Sac
devices, for example). Note that the distance is specified from the shoreline, not necessarily
from an airport.
EXTENDED-RANGE OPERATIONS (EROPS): Generally, flight operations at a
distance more than 60 minutes flying time with one engine inoperative from a suitable airport.
"EROPS" now has virtually no official standing except within Canada where certain
communication, navigation and emergency requirements pertain to all aircraft in extended-
range operations, regardless of the number of engines. In the U.S. and many other countries,
the requirements have evolved into "ETOPS" (listed separately below) with rules that apply
only to twin-engine aircraft operating beyond the 60 minute distance.
EXTENDED-RANGE TWIN-ENGINE OPERATIONS (ETOPS): ETOPS applies
specifically to twin-engine aircraft operated at a distance more than 60 minutes flying time
with one engine inoperative from a suitable airport. In the U.S. there are approvals for
ETOPS at distances from suitable airports, varying from 75 minutes up to 180 minutes at the
engine-out cruising speed. In general, aircraft used in ETOPS must have an ETOPS type
design approval which may require the incorporation of a substantial number of equipment
options and Service Bulletins, and the national air authorities may approve specific operators,
aircraft and routes based upon various qualifications, demonstrated reliability and
competence.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTION: An assumption, directly related to a specific
assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions.
Comment: Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information
about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about
conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the
integrity of data used in an analysis.
FAIL-SAFE: A design criterion, which requires that predictable failure of an item will
not place the aircraft into an uncontrollable condition. The intent is that a partial failure of a
structural element, for example, will not lead to the catastrophic failure of the entire structure.
Page 49
EFTA00605282
iteatetut 14444 2llanagestent Tat
FLIGHT: The entire passage consisting of one or more flight legs, from leaving the
airport of origin to arrival at the airport of final destination and operated under one flight
number.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITION: That which is contrary to what exists but I supposed
for the purpose of analysis.
Comment: Hypothetical condition assume conditions contrary to known facts about
physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property, or about conditions
external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of
data used in an analysis.
HOT SECTION INSPECTION (HIS): The inspection and restoration of the hot section
items of an engine (principally the combustion and turbine sections), usually at a
predetermined time/cycle limit. A hot section inspection is not necessarily considered an
"engine shop visit" if no major disassembly or repairs are required.
INSPECTION, DETAILED: An intensive visual examination of a specified detail,
assembly, or installation. It searches for evidence of irregularity using adequate lighting and,
where necessary, inspection aids such as mirrors, hand lens, etc. Surface cleaning and
elaborate access procedures may be required.
INSPECTION, EXTERNAL SURVEILLANCE (STRUCTURAL): A visual check that
will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies in externally visible structure. It
may also include internal structure, which is visible through quick opening access panels/
doors. Work stands, ladders, etc., may be required to gain proximity.
INSPECTION, GENERAL VISUAL: A collective term, which includes the External
Surveillance Inspection, the Internal Surveillance Inspection, and the Walk-Around Check.
INSPECTION, INTERNAL SURVEILLANCE (STRUCTURAL): A visual check that will
detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies in internal structure. This type of
inspection applies to obscured structure and installations which require removal of fillets,
fairing, access panels/doors, floor-boards, liners, insulation blankets etc.
INSPECTION, WALK-AROUND CHECK: A visual check conducted from ground level
to detect obvious discrepancies.
Page 50
EFTA00605283
iteatetut 4444 Nagagement Sac
ITEMS, CONSUMABLE: Consumable: Any component that is rendered unsuitable for
reuse when ifs installed. Examples include gaskets, sealants, compression fittings, etc.
ITEMS, EXPENDABLE: Items for which no authorized repair procedure exists, and for
which cost of repair would normally exceed that of replacement. Expendable items include
nuts, bolts, rivets, sheet metal, wire, light bulbs, cable and hose. For financial accounting
purposes, expendable items are normally considered to be consumed when they are issued,
so they are then not carried as inventory assets.
ITEMS, LIFE-LIMITED: An Item which, when listed on the aircraft, engine or propeller
type certificate data sheet or the manufacturer's instructions for continued airworthiness,
must be permanently removed from service and discarded before a specified time (e.g.
hours, cycles or calendar limit) is achieved. Among the most significant life-limited items for
appraisal purposes are engine disks and shafts.
ITEMS, REPAIRABLE: A replacement part or component, commonly economical to
repair, and subject to being rehabilitated to a fully serviceable condition over a period of time
less than the life of the flight equipment to which it is related. Examples include many engine
blades and vanes, some tires, seats, galleys.
ITEMS, ROTABLE: An item that can be economically restored to a serviceable
condition and, in the normal course of operations, can be repeatedly rehabilitated to a fully
serviceable condition over a period of time approximating the life of the flight equipment to
which it is related. Examples include avionics units, landing gears, auxiliary power units, and
major engine accessories.
ITEMS, TIME-LIMITED: An item which must be inspected, tested or reconditioned at
specified intervals of time (hours, cycles or calendar) in order to ensure continued
airworthiness. Not the same as Item, Life-Limited, listed separately.
LIFE, ECONOMIC USEFUL: As it pertains to an aircraft or engine, the economic
useful life is the period of time over which it is (or is expected to be) physically and
economically feasible to operate it in its intended role. Periodic maintenance and repair will
usually be required in order to preserve safety and efficiency during the economic useful life.
Page 51
EFTA00605284
Acatteat Ada 2llanagement Sae
LIST, MINIMUM EQUIPMENT (MEL): An approved list of items, which may be
inoperative for flight under specified conditions and/or specific limited periods of time. For
example, an aircraft with triple-redundant navigation systems might be permitted to depart
with one system inoperative, or certain lights may be inoperative for daylight flights. An MEL
is not transferable between operators of the same equipment.
MAINTENANCE: Those actions required for restoring or maintaining an item in
serviceable condition, including servicing, repair, modification, overhaul, inspection,
determination of condition, preservation and storage.
MAINTENANCE, CONDITION-MONITORED: A primary maintenance process under
which data on the whole population of specified items in service in analyzed to indicate
whether some allocation of technical resources is required. Not a preventive maintenance
process, condition monitored maintenance allows failures to occur, and relies upon analysis
of operating experience information to indicate the need for appropriate action.
Note: Failure modes of condition-monitored items do not have a direct adverse effect
on operating safety.
MAINTENANCE, SCHEDULED: The maintenance performed at defined intervals to
retain an item in a serviceable condition by systematic inspection, detection, replacement of
worn out items, adjustment, calibration, cleaning, etc.
MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURE (MTBF): A performance figure calculated by
dividing the total unit time or cycles accrued in a period by the number of unit failures that
occurred during the same period.
MEAN TIME BETWEEN REMOVALS (MTBR): A performance figure calculated by
dividing the total unit time or cycles accrued in a period by the number of unit removals
(scheduled plus unscheduled) that occurred during the same period.
MID-TIME, MID-LIFE: (sometimes half-time, half-life) These are two terms commonly
used by appraisers to describe the maintenance time status of an aircraft or engine.
Mid-time pertains to scheduled inspections or overhauls that are repeated at
specified intervals of time, with "mid-time" (or half-time) implying that the status is
mid-way through such an interval.
Page 52
EFTA00605285
iteataut 74444 2llanagesient Sae
Mid-life pertains to items with mandated life limits (engine disks, for example), and
"mid-life" (or half-life) implies that such items have been in service for one-half of
their life limits.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT): A maintenance procedure to determine the
condition of an area or part of an aircraft or component by means of tests that do not affect
the function or serviceability of the item being tested. Some commonly used NDT methods
include visual, radiographic, magnetic particle, ultra-sonic, dye penetrant, and eddy-current
inspections.
OVERHAUL: The disassembly, inspection and/or check of an aircraft, component,
engine or appliance to an extent necessary to determine, as substantiated by service
experience and accepted practices, that it is in satisfactory condition to operate one complete
overhaul period. It shall include the replacement, repair, adjustment or refinishing of such
parts as required, which, if improperly accomplished would adversely affect the structural
strength, performance, flight characteristics or safety of the aircraft involved.
POOL, PARTS: An arrangement whereby participants are entitled to withdraw items
from the agreed stock held by any participant.
PROGRAM, MAINTENANCE: A program, either acceptable or approved by
airworthiness authorities, which defines a logical sequence of maintenance actions to be
performed as events or pieces of a whole which, when performed collectively, result in
achievement of the desired maintenance standards. The program may be originated by the
manufacturer or the operator.
A "Block Maintenance Program" is one, which allocates major structural
inspections and/or maintenance tasks into groups, or blocks, which permit
convenient, economical and effective accomplishment. A program of recurring C-
Checks and D-Checks may be a block maintenance program.
A "Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program" is a compilation of the
individual maintenance and inspection functions utilized by an operator to fulfill its
total maintenance needs. The authorization to use continuous maintenance
program are:

4- Aircraft inspection
4- Scheduled maintenance
4- Unscheduled maintenance
4- Engine, propeller and appliance repair & overhaul
4- Structural inspection program / airframe overhaul
4- Required inspection items
4- Maintenance Manuals
A "Phased Maintenance Program" (sometimes called an "equalized" / "segmented"
program) is one where some of the maintenance effort is apportioned to smaller
packages that may be accomplished more frequently then the packages in a block
maintenance program. Usually, the objective of this subdivision of effort is to even
out the maintenance workload over time and shorten the length of each period of
down-time.
Note that the distinction between "block" and "phased" programs is not very clear.
Different airlines and different air authorities have adopted many variations, so
these terms do not have unique meanings applicable to all circumstances. For
example, the C-Check might be divided into phases while the D-Check is left intact,
or the D-Check might also be divided into phases, and the number of phases could
be large or small. Moreover, different airlines have adopted different lettering and
numbering terminologies to designate their checks.
A "Progressive Maintenance" program is one which provides for the complete
inspection of an aircraft within each 12 calendar months. Consistent with the
manufacturer's recommendations and other regulatory requirements. In practice,
this primarily applies to small aircraft, although FAA Order 8300.9 Section 5 says
the progressive inspection system "is particularly adaptable to larger multiengine
aircraft and aircraft operated by companies and corporations where high utilization
is demanded.
QUICK ENGINE CHANGE (QEC): A QEC kit is a collection of components and
accessories such as pumps, generators, thrust reverser, nose cowl, wiring harnesses and
fluid lines installed onto a bare engine to speed the eventual installation of the entire power
Page 54
EFTA00605287
Aotation Aida 2llagagement lac
plant onto an aircraft. The actual make-up of the QEC kit will usually depend on the type of
aircraft that the engine will be used on, and may also be different for different engine
positions on the same aircraft. With the QEC kit installed, the power plant is sometimes then
called a "QEC Unit".
REBUILD: A maintenance process whereby an aircraft, engine, propeller, appliance or
component part is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, repaired as necessary, reassembled
and tested to the same tolerances and limits as a new item, using either new parts or used
parts that either conform to new part tolerances and limits or to approved oversized or
undersized dimensions.
REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE: With certain exceptions for foreign aircraft, aircraft
with temporary authorizations, or aircraft of the armed forces, no aircraft may be operated
without a Registration Certificate that is issued to its owner by the FAA. The Registration
Certificate is also the basis for assigning a U.S. identification number ("N" Number).
Generally, the Registration Certificate remains effective until the aircraft is sold, exported,
destroyed or scrapped. Note that this definition pertains specifically to the U.S. but
comparable regulations apply in most other jurisdictions.
REPAIR: The restoration of an airframe, powerplant or appliance to a condition for
safe operation after damage or deterioration. A "Major" repair is one that, if improperly done,
might appreciably affect weight, balance, structural strength, performance, powerplant
operation, flight characteristics or other qualities affecting airworthiness.
ROTORCRAFT: (sometimes rotocraft) A heavier-than-air aircraft that depends
principally for its support in flight on the lift generated by one or more rotors.
SERVICE BULLETIN (SB): A document issued by the manufacturer to notify the
owner or operator of an aircraft (or engine or other device) of recommended (or required by
Airworthiness Directives) modifications, substitution of parts, special inspections/checks,
reduction of existing life limits or establishment of first-time life limits and conversion from one
engine model to another. Service Bulletins may or may not be FAA-approved.
SUPPLEMENTAL TYPE CERTIFICATE (STC): An STC is issued by the FAA to grant
approval for an alteration of a product by a major change in the type design, where such a
Page 55
EFTA00605288
Acateitut /44wee 2llanagement lac
change is not great enough to require a new application for a Type Certificate. The STC is
kept by the applicant and is then the basis for issuing or retaining airworthiness certificates to
all aircraft (or engines or propellers) subsequently modified in the same way. In the case of
alterations by the original manufacturer, approval is normally in the form of an amendment to
the original Type Certificate, rather than an STC.
TERRAIN AWARENESS AND WARNING SYSTEM (TAWS): It provides information
concerning impending or potential hazards with fixed objects.
TIME, BLOCK: Block time is the time from the moment an aircraft first moves for the
purpose of flight until the moment it comes to rest at the destination; sometimes called block-
to-block time. Pushback time is considered as part of Block Time.
TIME, FLIGHT: Flight time is the duration of the airborne portion of a flight, sometimes
called wheels-off to wheels-on-time. It is always less than block time. Note that FAR 1
appears to equate Block Time and Flight Time, but his is not generally accepted.
TIME, TOTAL: The operating time that an aircraft, engine or component has
accumulated since new. Unless otherwise stated, this is usually total flight time, rather than
total block time.
TIME BETWEEN OVERHAULS (TBO): The maximum time that an item is permitted
to operate between overhauls, TBOs are usually expressed in flight hours, cycles, or
calendar increments.
TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS): A system
intended to alert flight crews of the existence of nearby aircraft and to provide warning of
imminent collisions. There are three categories of TCAS; TCAS I is a proximity warning
system that advises pilots of the presence of nearby aircraft. TCAS II is intended to warn
pilots of an impending collision, and it commands vertical avoidance maneuvers. TCAS III
warns of the impending collision and commands both vertical and horizontal avoidance
maneuvers.
TYPE CERTIFICATE: A Type Certificate pertains to aircraft, aircraft engines and
propellers. The FAA issues a Type Certificate when the applicant (normally the manufacturer)
submits the type design, test reports, and computations and proves to the FAA's satisfaction
Page 56
EFTA00605289
Acdatetut At4wt 2llanagement lac
that the product meets the applicable requirements of the FARs regarding airworthiness,
noise and emissions. The Type Certificate is kept at the manufacturer's facility and is the
basis for issuing airworthiness certificates to all aircraft (or engines or propellers)
subsequently manufactured according to the same type design.
Type Certificates may also be issued for products manufactured in foreign countries
with which the United States has an agreement for the acceptance of these products if the
country of origin certifies that the product meets airworthiness, noise and emission standards
equivalent to the U.S. standards, and the manufacturer submits the appropriate supporting
technical data.
TYPE CERTIFICATE DATA SHEET: The Type Certificate Data Sheet is the part of
the Type Certificate setting forth the limitations prescribed by the applicable airworthiness
regulations and any other limitations and information found necessary for type certification.
UTILIZATION, AIRCRAFT: The average daily flying hours for an aircraft or a fleet of
aircraft. May be also expressed in hours per year or hours per month.
FINANCIAL TERMS
ASSET-BASED FINANCE: Secured asset financing, with credit emphasis on the
ownership of, or lien on, such assets as accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and
equipment.
BALLOON PAYMENT: The final payment, which is substantially larger than the other
payments, of an amortized term loan or lease. Less commonly, balloon payments may also
occur periodically during a lease term.
BARGAIN PURCHASE OPTION: An option given to the lessee to purchase leased
equipment at lease expiry for a price which is significantly lower than the expected fair market
value of that equipment at the end of the lease.
CAPITAL LEASE: A lease in the U.S. is classified as a capital lease if it meets any of
the following criteria:
The lease transfers ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term.
The lease contains an option to purchase the property at a bargain price.
Page 57
EFTA00605290
Acatteat '4444 Vtanagement Sae
The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic life of the
property (with exceptions for used property that is already near the end of its useful
life).
The present value of minimum lease rental payments is equal to 90% or more of
the fair market value of the leased property
CHAPTER 7: A chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which provides the rules
whereby a debtor or creditor, may petition the court for the appointment of a trustee or
receiver to supervise the orderly liquidation of a business.
CHAPTER 11: A chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code which provides the rules
whereby a debtor is allowed to file for court protection. Such protection enables the debtor to
continue its operations while undergoing reorganization. Chapter 11 also allows a creditor to
protect its interests.
DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW: A technique for assessing the present value of future
payments which takes into account the time value of money.
DRY LEASE: Traditionally in aircraft and marine leasing, an agreement that provides
financing only for the equipment itself, and does not extend to personnel, maintenance, fuel
and provisioning necessary to operate the craft. Corollary in marine leasing is a bare boat
charter.
INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT (ITC): A provision of the tax code designed to stimulate
investment in capital equipment by allowing a percentage of the purchase price to be credited
directly against taxes due.
LEVERAGED LEASE: Involves at least three parties: lessor, lessee and a lender. The
lessor owns the equipment and will generally provide a portion of the purchase price while
borrowing the remainder, usually on a non-recourse basis, from the lender. The lessor
thereby enhances his ability to purchase and own the asset using the capital of a third party.
NET LEASE: A lease which provides that all costs in connection with the use of the
equipment are paid by the lessee and are not part of the rental, e.g. taxes, insurance and
Page 58
EFTA00605291
Aaeatetut ;4444 Nanagement lac
maintenance are paid directly by the lessee. Note that most capital leases, leveraged leases
and direct finance leases are net leases.
OPERATING LEASE: For financial accounting purposes, a lease which does not meet
the criteria of a capital lease (see separate entry). Also used generally to describe a short-
term lease whereby the user can acquire the use of an asset for a fraction of its useful life. It
is not common, but the lessor may pay for maintenance and insurance.
OWNER TRUSTEE: In a leveraged lease, the party who holds title to the equipment
for the benefit of the equity participants. The owner trustee issues trust certificates to the
equity participants, maintains the register, acts as the agent for such certificates, and makes
appropriate filings to perfect and protect the lender's interest in the collateral.
PURCHASE OPTION: The right to buy leased property at the end of the lease term. In
the U.S., if the tax characteristics of a true lease are to be protected, the purchase option
may not be at a price less than the asset's fair market value at the time the right is exercised.
RENEWAL OPTION: A right whereby the lessee may renew a lease for an additional
period after the original termination date. The rent for the renewal period is usually set at a
lower rate than in the initial period.
RESIDUAL VALUE: The value of equipment at a future date, usually in connection
with the conclusion of a lease term. Not the same as salvage value or scrap.
TAX LEASE: A single-investor or leveraged lease in which the lessor has satisfied
certain Internal Revenue guidelines, retaining the tax benefits (such as investment tax credits
and depreciation) associated with ownership. These tax benefits may be passed through to
the lessee in the form of lower rental payments. The lease may require special indemnity by
the lessee for any of the lessor's benefits lost or subject to recapture.
WET LEASE: An operating lease that provides crew, fuel and maintenance services in
addition to the aircraft itself.
