How long have you been at Jetcraft?

I have been working with Jetcraft for 2 years. I work with all customers in Turkey, assisting them with their aircraft sales or acquisition needs.

Describe a typical day or week in your role.

Every day is different. Sometimes I am on the phone, or sometimes I am going to meetings, but either way I am speaking with my customers. I am there to help them move through the steps of their sale or acquisition from beginning through closing.

Product Overview

The Cessna Citation Ultra was an updated version of the original Citation V (Model 560). An updated Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite consolidated multiple displays and replaced standard analog flight instruments. The upgraded engines (Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D turbofans) offered 145 more pounds of thrust per side, and were more efficient.

As of December 2015, all of the Citation Ultra aircraft in operation were purchased pre-owned by the current owners. 8% are currently for sale with more than half of those (63.6%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale, the average number of days a Citation Ultra remains on the market is 364 days.

Less than an hour’s hop from Kuala Lumpur lays a cluster of islands known as Langkawi, a tropical paradise famed for its crystal clear waters, pristine beaches and a flourishing jungle.  Idyllic and delightfully unspoiled, these enchanting 99 islands with their white sand beaches are simply some of Malaysia’s best.  And boasting a near-equatorial location, Langkawi enjoys warm weather year-round along the Straits of Malacca.  A perfect December getaway.

Approaching the Langkawi International Airport (LGK), the first glimpse visitors get is a promise for what’s yet to come. Dotted amidst the blue/green water, these verdant islands are a divinely enticing sight.  And although Langkawi is closer to Thailand than mainland Malaysia, it’s an ideal destination for those seeking downtime after conducting business in bustling Kuala Lumpur.  From its sandy bays to sweeping coastlines, the island’s beaches are beloved by travellers from across the globe.

AvBuyer Magazine, December 2015
by Ken Elliott

Helping you understand avionics advances and related requirements for equipage, Ken Elliott reviews aviation technologies within the NextGen/SESAR architecture, and this month provides an overview and conclusion to his series.

As we enter the final month of 2015, reflection on the current status and future of NextGen implementation may be helpful.

Throughout 2015 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Maintenance Repair Organizations (MROs) have been busy developing and completing their aircraft solutions for Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast Out (ADS-B Out), as well as Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS). Equipment suppliers have been introducing new and improved technology, while the FAA has readied itself for ADS-B Out, made strides with Data Communication (Data Comm) and introduced more Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures.

As aircraft OEMs provide NextGen hardware and software updates (available via their dedicated customer portals), MROs have been announcing creative installation choices for legacy aircraft. It is common to find one-time equipage upgrades, embracing both FANS and ADS-B needs. Read more →

How long have you been at Jetcraft?

My career at Jetcraft began in the summer of 2007, so about 8.5 years now. The time has flown by!

What are your responsibilities within the global Jetcraft team?

I was brought on as the Market Coordinator in 2007 when Jetcraft was averaging only 10-15 listings at a time (now our marketing team manages 90-100 listings at any one time). Since then I have worked as a Sales Engineer, Sales Engineer Director and now as the Sales Director for north-central United States and central Canada. I work with clients in my region to help them either sell their current aircraft, or to help them acquire a new one.

AvBuyer Magazine, November 2015
by Ken Elliott

Ken Elliott completes his discussion in AvBuyer of why collecting and analyzing aeronautical data is fundamentally important to more efficient operation of business aircraft as well as capitalizing on emerging airspace mandates.

Flight data recorders (FDRs) and cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) were the first equipment placed on board aircraft specifically to collect flight information. As requirements for flight data expanded, flight data acquisition units (FDAUs) were deployed to receive a wide range of performance parameters from aircraft systems. These FDAUs also provide streamed FDR data to Quick Access Recorders (QARs), sourcing FOQA (Flight Operations Quality Assurance) information and other measures, mostly for air carriers. Read more →
